with respect to the tishops, a supposed want of ac tivity on whose parts seemed to be one of the m a i n Motives for the Bill. The Bishop of LONDON inside a variety of ob orwatims on the subject, and though h e did not Ke w adverse to the cruiciple of the measure, yet was of opin i on its details would lead to endless coin plaints. The Bill, he thought, was greatly encum ure ! with unnecessary apparatus. The Doi of LIVERPOOL was favourable to the principle •,f the Biil, and thought it should go to de. pled discussion in a Committee. The permission of non-residence was perhaps, in some degree, neces sary, in the present state of the Church ; still it should be remembered the practice was founded upon no principle of the Christian religioni—( Hear, hear) — and he noticed the frequency of such matters being r egulated by legislative provision. Ea! STANHOPE shortly delivered his semi wets, which were in favour of the measure. s o me further conversation took place, in which the Bishop of EXETER, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and s ome other Pt ers, participated; after which the Noble Earl's motion, as above, was agreed to, and their L or dships adjourned till to.morrw.

The Debate which was expected on the Catholic Question last night in the House of Commons, was put off; strange as it may appear, by a heavy shower of rain ! When the SVEAKER counted the House at the usual hour, there were four Members wanting to form a House, and he was under the necessity .of adjourning till to-night. In a few minutes after wards, when the rain ceased, about 300 Members made their appearance, and they of course went home. The debate will take place to•night. In the mean time it is confidently reported, that Mr. CANNING'S motion Is so temperately framed as to meet the approbation of Ministers, and that the discussion will be of short duration. If this report be correct, we have no doubt that the great object of Catholic Emancipation will be effected, in a manner which .ought to give satis faction to all parties, i. e. gradually and temperately. Some commercial men, notwithstanding what pas sedinthe House of Commons on Tuesday, respect ing the abrogation of the Orders in Council, may perhaps express fears that the hopes entertained on this subject will not be realized ; and these fears they rest upon what fell from Lord CASTLEREAGH, that *proposition should be made to Amcrica to suspend the Orders in Council, on condition that she should suspend her Non-intercourse Act. But subsequent explanations between his Lordship and Mr. BROUGHAM led to the withdrawing of the proposed motions of both, on an understanding that the Orders ha Coun- 1 cil should be actually suspended. In fact, the condition hinted at in the debate has already been acceded todby America. It is the stan ding law of her land, enacted before this Session of Negress, that when either 'of the Belligerents re pealed its Edicts, to that Belligerent should the Non-i intercourse be repealed : and we recollect also its being urged, on the paper revocation of the Berlin and Milan Decrees, that the American Presiders had under that law no discretionary power, but was ob liged to proclaim the release of France from the ope ralion of the Non-intercourse. Neither has he a dis cretionary power. now, under the existing laws of America; buts will, in like manner, be obliged, on the suspension of our Orders in Council, to revoke the obnoxious measures against us. Should Ame rica, indeed, determine that she will not repeal her Non-intercourse against us, when she officially hears what has passed in the British Parliament, this must proceed from a new law, and would be a fresh act of injustite. This, however, we do not anticipate as even possible: h would be too dangerous an experi ment for the Antifederalists to make, and would insure a complete triumph to their opponents, who, "en under unfavourable circumstances, have of late been evidently gaining ground in point of influence. . In the city the prevailing opinion is, that a good 3111 . da ltallding, and an e x t en d e d an d mutoually bene tsial intercourse will speedily be established between the two countries ; and already the benefits expected to fl ow from this change of system, begin to be felt among commercial men. In the mean time we en tertain no doubt, that the receipt of the intelligence in the Manufacturing districts, will do more fin' the restoration of order and subordination than the pre 'ace of the military has been able to effect. The following documents amply confirm the view ye have taken of the question : E xtract of a letter from Mr. MoNRoE to his Majes- Ws Minister, Mr. FOSTER, dated July 26,.1811 : t : leis in the power of the British' Government, at this time, essa r ble the President to set the Non-importation Law aside, Le si derieS to the U n i te d .

I f Great zra win . cease to violate their neutral rights, by revoking the reel us Council, on which event alone the President has ` a e Pewter, I am instructed to inform you, that he will, without u m), eleruse it, by terminating the operations of the law." Extract from the present Non-Importation Act of flue United States : " And be it 'further enacted, That in case G reat &haul . shall so revoke or molif7 her E dietd,als that they cease to illotate the bleutral Commerce of the United Sties, the President shall declare the fact by Pro ' claniat!oa, and such Proclamation Chan be admitted as evidence, land no ether evidence shall be admitted of such revocation or mo• difications In any suit oe prosecution, which may be instituted under the fourth section of the Act of which this is a supplement, And the restrictions imposed •or which may he imposed, by vir tue of said Act, shall, from the date of such Proclamation, cease and be discontinued." The LAURESTINUS I 24 guns, has arrived from Rio Janeiro, and brings the disagreeable intelligence that the inhabitants have declared their independence, and that the English Consul was obliged to return home. We sincerely hope that this intelligence w ill not be confirmed by subsequent arrivals. A Jamaica Mail reached town this morning, bring ing letters and papers to the 3d of May, from which we make the following extracts : FROM THE CORNWALL CHRONICLE, MAY 2. Recent advices from St. Domingo give an ac-' count of the complete destruction of the French faction which was formed by RIGAUD at Aux Cayes. TRANSIQUE, one of BONAPARTE'S Garde d'Honneur, had fled from . his command at Jeremie, and Bon- GELLAT and his party have been completely over thrown, and it is expected that he will be compelled to depart for France. The whole of the territory which was under the dominion of RIGAUD, has in consequence fallen into the possession of PETION, as also the corvette and brig, which were in company at the time the action between the Southampton and l'Amethyst commenced." FROM THE JAMAICA COURANT OF APRIL 23. " It was ascertained at Antigua, previousto the THETIS'S departure, that the vessels of war which had been cruizing to windward of that Island, did not belong to the French Empire, but were fitted out at Bayonne and Bourdeaux, by Merchants, for the pur pose of cruizing in the West Indies ; they are repre sent,d to have made several captures, and were very short of provisions, and intended proceeding to the United States of America with all expedition. 66 Rear-Admiral 'Sir• FRANCIS LAFORFY, in the DRAGON, of 74 guns, with the Statira and Orpheus frigates, and Peruvian brig, had been cruizing to windward of Antigua, and intended to proceed as far to leeward as the Mona passage." FROM THE SAME PAPER. " All the French inhabitants on the island cf Porto Rico, in consequence of instructions from Spain, had been ordered to depart from thence as early pos sible. " The GUERRIEREand SPARTAN frigates, of 38 guns each, Captains Dans and BRENtON, and Joan brig, of 16 guns, Captain the Hon. V. GARDNLR, were at Bermuda when Thetis sailed. Accounts brought by the Rhodian, from Port au-Prihce, state, that CHRISTOPHE was still before that town, but it was - expected he would soon be obliged to retire, as his force was much diminished. PETION'S squadron had captured one of CHHISTOPIIE'S brigs, and destroyed another. We are sorry to state, that the last accounts from Mexico, via Havanna, repre sent the Insurgents to be still in great force." The following law arrangements are said to have taken place yesterday: Sir Titomm Rumen to be Attorney-General to the KING, in the room of Sir VICARY GIBBS, promot ed to the Bench. Mr. GARROW to be Solicitor-General to the Km, in the room of Sir THOMAS PLUMER. Mr. JEKYLL succeeds Mr. GARKOW, as Attorney- General to the Prince of WALES ; and it is reported that Mr. RAINE will succeed Mr. JEKYLL, as Solici tor General to the same personage. The following private letter from Lisbon she ws, that Flour has risen there to an unprecedented high price. We need not inform our Readers, that the regraters in Portugal will be most miserably and de• servedly disappointed, when the intelligence arrives of our intercourse with America being re-opened : " LISBON, MAY si:. " Flour continues to sell in the Corn Market at £5. 53. per barrel ; but the prices may be expected to be rendered free, or the maximum to be extended, in consequence of an application of the Administrators to the Government for their sanction to such a proceeding, which seems to be found necessary to induce holders to put their Flour in the Market. Wheat is put in there at Os. 4d. per alquler ; Rice £3. 45. to £3. 7s. Cwt. ashore.— Exchange 70d." PRIVATE LETTER. " Lissom, MAT 31, 1313. " You have no doubt hear 3 of General list.t.'f victory over the French at the Bridge of Almarez. The event was celebra:ed here this day at noon by the Portuguese men of war; and at one by the English.—The Beermwa, first-rate, Admiral BEREZ. Lir, is the flag-ship. " The 26th, or Cameronian Regiment, having suffered more from sickness and fatigue, than from French hostility, has been shipped for Gibraltar for recovery. " The sth Regiment, lately landed here from England, march ed this day forthe Grand Army. They are a fine regiment, and marched off with great spirit, amid the applause. and viva: of the Pormguese —the Ladies throwing handfuls of flowers as they I passed. The Regulation Dress for Officers, as well as privates, is grey cloth trowsers, which, loaded as they were with accodtre ments, is toe heavy forsuch a climate as this; but I suppose it has been found the fittest, as the Portuguese always put on more clothing the hotter the day, observing, that what keeps out the cold will certainly keep out the hear. " Trade is extremely dull here :—the frequent arrivals of goods'from England have overstocked the market—even at low prices, there are very few purchasers. The Portuguese enjoy thent , :elves with as much indifference as If the enemy were 1000 loigues from them*" THE QUEEN'S DRAWING-PONY, , - Yesterday her MAJESTY held a Drawing-mom at St. James's Palace, the second which has beep held these two years, and which was uncommonly crowded, owing, it is s'ipposcd, to many of the No bility being deterred from attending the last Diaw ing-ruom, for fear of a great pressure.
