He lamented to hear that the summum jus was fre quently insisted on in Ireland in levying tithe, espe cially on potatoes, which were the pabulum of so large a part of the population, but he thought the measure before the House would be an irritative in stead of a sedative, for he could not conceive how it would be a bonus to the peasant to commute a pay ment in soli:In, for a pecuniary payment. He sug ,,ested that the relief should be applied to that part in which the evil was felt, the tithe on potatoes, but he saw no reason for touching those tithes which were paid by large farmers. The payment in tithes had been preferred by Burke and other writers of great au thority to a pectiniar y payment, as it mixed up the Clergyman harmoniously with the rest of the Consti tution, and brought him constantly in contact with hi s parishioners. He hoped, as in the last year King William's statue had been stripped of its ribbons, the Church this year would not be undressed of its pro perty, by depriving the Clergy of their territorial rights, and investing them with the shadowy sub stance given them in commutation in this Bill, which would one time or other become preceeent for simi lar nieasiires ;trainee tl.e Church of England. Sir INEWPORT considered it necessary, that to qualify themseltes for the discussion of this subject they should make themselves acquainted with the pre sent state of Ireland and the Church of Ireland. He wai favourable to many of the provisions of the Bill, although he objected to the compulsory clause. Colonel BARRY also objected to the compulsory clause; as respected the rest of the Bill, he was per suaded it would operate to conciliate the country, and benefit the Clergy ; he hoped, therefore, it would be permitted to t-to to a Committee. • Mr. ABERCItOIIBY also objected to the corn pulsory clause, which, he considered, gave the Clergy men too much. Mr. WEST wished the Bill to go to a Committee. Colonel TRENCH was in favour of the Bill. - The House then went into a Committee. The Bill passed through pro forma, and was ordered to be reported on Wednesday. The Report of the Customs' Acts was brought up, and the Resolutions were agreed to, and Bills ordered accordingly. The Report of the Commutation of Tithes Bill was received, sad the Bill W 33 ordered to be read a third time onWednesday. Mr. GOULBURN brought in the Irish Insurrection Bill, which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday next. The other Orders were then disposed of, and the House ad joned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1823. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received to-day by Express a letter from oar Private Correspondent at Paris, with the Moni fel?, Ornstitutionnel, and 1 'Etoik of Thursday. Nei ther the Illoniteur nor Constitutionnel contain any thing that is new from the seat of war, and the ex tracts which we give from the Etoile, will be found of a very exaggerated character. The statements in our Correspondent's letter are derived from a source which entitles them to every credit : ~ PARIS, MAY is. "Letters from Bayonne, dated the 10th, received to day, announce the arrival of the Portuguese and Spanish united forces in the environs of Valladolid. The French troops, who had advanced as far as Val ladolid, have fallen back. It is said that the Portu guese army is from 13 to 14,000 strong. "The Duke of Augouleme has passed the Briviesca. "The Andalusias, Galicia, Nivarre, and Upper Ar ragon, have taken the same warlike attitude as in the l ast war. " Numerous guerilla parties harass the French on every side; and between Irun and Vittoria, in parti cular, they are very strong. It is said, that one gue rilla band had formed the bold design of destroying the bridge which the French have thrown over the Ilidassoa, but that finding it guarded by a superior force, they retired. " Some strong guerillas so incommode the besiegers of St. Sebastian that they were obliged to send a fart of their force in pursuit of them. The besieged profited by their absence to make a sortie, which caused the French great loss. " B illageros %till hangs on the march of Molitor's division.—He avoids carefully measuring strength with his opponent, but embarrasses all his movements. —There are letters in Paris whiCh announce positively that Mina has entered the French territory. All is amazement here at the intelligence. He is said to be accompanied by the band of refugees which Colonel Fabvier has been organizing. It is not on this side of the Pyrennees that troops will easily be collected to oppose him ; and it mist rest with Moncey to de tach a force in pursuit of the lion which has escaped om his toils. Fabvier is said to be in secret com munication with numerous malcontents in the south of France, who only wait his appearance to join him in hoisting the tricolor standard. " In consequence of these tidings the funds continue declining, .in spite of every device M. Villele can pat in play to bolster them up. The rentes left off yes terday at 87f. 75c. to-day they are down to 87f. 20c. and were at one time as low as 87f. &." FROM THE ETOILE OF TlnnisDAY. ARMY OF SPAIN. MCA D•QUA TITERS, %ZOOS, MAY to. His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme en tered Buros yesterday at one o'clock. It would be impossible to describe the enthusiasm and joy of the people, who had prepared a magnificent procession to meet the Prince Generalissimo. Twelve men went first, and afterwards several groups of dancers, who were followed by heralds at arms, and other officers, surrounding a person who represented the King of Spain. Next followed a sledge, on which an individual, badly dressed, with pale livid complexion, and. hair ala Benjamin Constant, was chained. This figure represented the Constitution, and was delivered up to the executioner. A sort of mock combat between the Royal and Constitutional troops followed, in which the latter were entirely defeated, to the great satis faction of the people, who incessantly cried out— .• Vive le Roi!"—" Death to the Constitution !" " Success to the French !" A very beautiful triumphant car, drawn by forty young men, all clothed in white, and decked with flowers, was offered to his Royal Highness, but he refused, and entered the town on horseback. In the evening the city was illuminated, and there were dances and fire-works. The bust of Ferdinand was carried in triumph, surrounded by flambeaux, amidst general acclamations, and a magnificent bull-fight was in preparation. Yesterday morning the Junta received a courier from Madrid, in twenty-four hours. He states that there were few troops in the capital, where the French were eagerly expected ; that Count d'Abisbal was in the neighbourhood of Madrid, but with few forces, and that the people hoped the King would soon return to his capital. There has been much defection among the Consti tutional troops. One hundred and fifty men, well armed and equipped, arrived here yesterday, in order to tender their submission to the Junta. The Prince Generalissimo, on leaving here, will sleep on the 13th at Lerma, on the 14th at Gumiel, on the 15th and 16th at Aranda, on the 17th and 18th at Fresaille, on the 19th at Comopiera, the 20th at Buetrago, the 21st at Cabanillos, the 22d at St. Augustin, the 23d at Allohendas, and on the 24th he will arrive at Madrid, and celebrate the Feast of St. Ferdinand. PERPIGNAN, MAY 7. A division of our troops has had a slight engage- ment with the Constitutionalists, near Vich. A hun dred prisoners, two stand of colours, a waggon, and the military music of the corps, have fallen into our hands. PARIS, MAY 15. • 7 Ilis Majesty's frigate Juno has captured a Spanish armed briron the coast of Catalonia, mounting four teen guns. The prize has been carried to Marseilles. An article from Gerona, dated May 6, in the Etoile, states, that the reception of Marshal Moncey in shat town was very satisfactory. The populace lined the streets ; the white flag, joined to the colours of Spain, adorned the fronts of the houses, and the air was rent with vients for the two Kings and the General-in- Chief. Nay, so devoted does the Editor make the good people of Gerona, that on the next day they fell on their knees before the Marshal, and invoked HEAVEN for success on his arms. The citizens are even represented as contesting for the honour of lodg ing their invaders. TRIESTE, MAY s. A vessel has arrived f►om Smyrna, but she does not bring any news from the theatre of war in the Nlorea. She met, during the voyage, several English transports, having part of the garrison of Patras on board, which they were conducting to Smyrna. Thus it appears that the report of the garrison hiving been massacred after the capitulation by the Greeks, is unfounded. A Mail from Holland arrived this forenoon, with Papers to the 14th inst. We extract from them the following interesting intelligence from Batavia : BATAVIA, DECEMBER ILI, 1122. By a communication from the Chief of the Dutch Commerce in Japan, we are enabled 'Co publish the following important account, of which that officer had official information. The English ship Sarasin, commanded by David Ker, of 400 tons burden, and having a crew of 33 men, was compelled, for want of water and other ne cessaries, to put into Oeraga, a place 20 miles from the capital City of Jeddo, on the 10th of June, last year. This vessel, fitted out for the whale fishery, sailed from London two years and a half ago.. It was furnished with everything necessary by the Japanese Government, and continued its voyage ten days after its arrival at Oeraga. JANUARY 3, 1823.---The loud reports, resembling thunder, which we heard here in the night of the 20th of December and the fine whitish ashes which since that time have been perceived in several places, have excited fresh alarms of ravages caused by volcanic eruptions. V.Ve hasten to acquaint our readers with the accounts which we have hitherto received. December . 27, about nine in the evening, a shock of an earthquake was felt in the residency of Kadoc ; it was in the direction limn east to west, and was re peated eighteen times in thirty hours. Some of the shocks, especially the last but one, in the evening of the 28th, were very violent, and still more dreadful on account of the undulating motion. At the same time a loud subterraneous tumbling was heard in the mountain of Merapie, and it began to throw out stones. At half-past one, on the morning of the 29th, an eruption took place, during which half of the mountain was surrounded with torrents of lava and columns of file, while a heavy shower of sand and small stones covered the neighbouring fields. At present we have the unhappy certainty that four villages are burnt, and two buried ; 15 persons have lost their lives, the inhabitants of the de,troyed villages having had time to make their escape. Every thing that could be done for the relief of the sufferers was done by the Resident, as far as time would allow. Accounts from Pasocroean say, that• the burning mountain of Bromo, also, for some time past, made a loud subterranean noise, and began to throw out a fine blackish ash, which is perceived at considerable distances. In the vicinity of the mountain, the air is quite obscured at intervals. Frankfort Papers which have reached us -to the 18th inst. also juin in most decidedly contradicting the reports which originated in the MornirgChronide, respecting the military preparations of Russia. 6 , The Courier Francais (says the Frankfort Journal of the 9th inst.) has published an article dated Frankfort, 27th April, in which it announces, on what it states to be god authority, that the Emperor of Russia will arrive at the baths of Ems in the beginning of June, and that his Imperial Majesty will occupy the chateau of M. de Stein. This news, which has been repeated in the other Paris Journals, as well as in some of the German Papers, is just as well founded as the march of the Russian troops, so confidently announced in the same Journal. Now, there has not only not been the slightest movement of the Russian army, but there has not been any recruiting during the last three years. On the contrary, so many soldiers have been discharged, that the army has by this means been reduced nearly one-fourth." Letters from Warsaw, of a recent date, still further explain the facts which have given rise to the reports, so frequently repeated, of the assemblage of a consi derable number of Russian troops in Poland. Some movements have, in fact, taken place, but only in the Polish army, the regiments in which are organised in such a manner as to be ready to march on the first signal; but nothing has occurred to indicate that they are to march out of the kingdom on any expedition. The Russian troops in Volhynia and the Ukraine remain quiet in their• cantonments, which are very extended. The„report at Wilna is, that these troops will quickly return into the interior of the empire. But what particularly excites the public attention is, the assembling of a considerable corps &armee in the Government of Witepsk, under the pretext, that the peasants of this province had tumultuously refused the payment of a certain quit rent, in consideration of which they had been exempted from services (cos vees) that were formerly exacted from them. This af fair is not of so serious a nature as several papers in the North of Germany have represented it to be, and a few regiments would have been quite sufficient to have restored everything to order. It is supposed then that the assembling of more than 40.000 men in one point of the Russian empire, is for quite another purpose than that which has just been assigned to it. A Hamburgh Mail has also arrived, with Papers to the 10th inst. It will be seen, from the first of the ex tracts which we subjoin, that there is no likelihood whatever of Russia's having any warlike operations in contemplation at present. ST. PETERSBURG H, APRIL 26. The Adjutants• General of his Majesty the Empe ror, Wolkonsky, Mentzchikow, and Sagrewski, have received leave of absence for several months. It is positively affirmed that a considerable reduc- tion is going to be made in the army, and that the Imperial ukase to that effect will shortly be published. On account of the quantity of drift ice, it has been necessary to take down again the bridge over the river, and the communication can only be carried on by boats. The merchants still complain of the stagnation of trade. The'prices of all kinds of Colonial produce have again declined, in consequence of "the very small demand theTe 114s.bgen for some months, past. _ STOCKHOLM, APRIL 29. To give an idea of the shameful Clique who forged the letters under the name of General Holst, we have now to add, that a French letter, with the forged sig nature of his Majesty's Master of the Horse, Count V. Brake, tr..entioning the conspiracy that had been bafil by the care ar.d perseverance of the Governor of the Capital, Ste. was sent to M. Von Wahrenclorlf, Secretary to the Swedish Legat;on at Pat is, debiting him to insert it in the French Papers; tci aild an ar ticle drawn up in conformity with this letter, and to add a confidential communication on the subject to the Ministers of his Most Christian Nlaje.sty.— Happily, M. V. Wahrendorff diul not suffer himself to be thus imposed upon, but sent the letter to the Go vernment, which has now published a fac-simile of it, taken on stone, in order, if possible, to discover the wicked author. Our future I'ri►:cess Royal is expected at Lubeck on the Ist of June; Countess Broke set out on ti►e 20th of Al:►y for that city. Some say that the I'i ii,ce will go to Lubeck to accompany his bride, a►id the Queen, his n►nther, by land, from Lubeck, by way of Copenhagen. HANOVER, MAY 6. The General Assembly of the States concluded the Session for this year on. the 3d inst. and was pro rogued in the usual form. THE ARMY. By a recent order from the War-Office, the follow ing Regulations, relative to the employment of Dra goons in aid of the Revenue Coast Guard, are in fu ture to be observed : I. In all cases where Dragoons may be stationed in or near a district, and where their assistance shall appear to the Inspect ing Commander to he necessary for the more effectual guard of the stations under the . inspection, they are to mike application in Writing to the Commanding Officer of the Regiment, to which the troops belong, for s•.ch a number as can be spared. 2. Whenever the service shall require the troops to be called out, the same is only to be done under the direction of the Chief Officer of the station nearest to which they shall be quartered. 3. The Riding Officer, attached to the station, is the person by whom the Chief Officer's directions are to Le conveyed to the military, and in whose company they art? to proceed to patrol, or to render the required assistance. Saturday the second King's Legion of Cheshire Yeomanry, about 300 strong, well mounted and appointed, marched into Chester, for eight days duty. NAVAL PVTELLIGENCE. The Past India Company's ship Windsor, outward-bound, put into Teneriffe on the 20th of March. The Calcutta, Captain Stroyan, from Bengal, has arrived at Liverpool ; sailed the : 2d December, and front the Cape loth March. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, of Tirhoot, came passengers. The Woodbridge, MussoN, from the Mauritius, has arrived at Cowes, in distress, on her way to Copenhagen. PLYMOUTH, MAY 15. Wind N. W. Arrived the Kitty, QUILLY, from Terceira, in seven days.

Extract of a lettter from Lloyd's Agents at Havre, dated 14th May :—" We beg to acquaint you, that in addition to the Signal Post established by us on the tower of this City, and at Point La Heve, we have lately placed another Post at Blzville, which commands the view of VtobtiS approaching Havre as far down as Cape Antifer. These Posts form a continued telegraphic line, by which means we are enabled to obtain the earliest intelli gence of the appearance of vessels; and wbich establishment has been considered of much utility by the merchants of this place. We hope shortly to have so announce to you the comple tion of a line of Telegraph Signals between Ilourdeaux and the sea, which has been finally decided on by this Government, and is at present in train, agreeably to the plan which has been sub mitted by us." Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by— The Lord Chancellor, Viscount Melville, Viscount Sidmouth, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Mr. Wynn, Lord Bexley, &c. &c. The Council continued in deliberation till past foui. Accounts from Malaga of a recent date, state that public opinion is very much divided in that city ; the respectable part of the Spaniards strongly call out for a government similar to the British Constitution. A conspiracy to restore the old Government had been detected, and several pikes and guns concealed in the neighbourhood discovered. One fine young man, charged - with being implicated in the plot, was shot. Six persons convicted of piracy on the Spanish coasts had been seized and condemned to death. They were decapitated in the public square of Malaga, their legs and arms severed from their body and thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil, and their heads exposed in the public plAces. We understand from a correspondent at Seville, that DOWN'S has been dismissed from his situation, as Keeper of the KING'S Palace, by order of the Cortes. This day (17th May, 1823), at eleven o'clock, a new Contract for a Lottery of 20,000 Tickets, to be drawn in one Lottery, was taken by Messrs. J. and S. RICARDO, Messrs. Mtevuts and Co. and Messrs. MAURERT and Co. at 131. Bs. per Ticket. • As it was understoOd to be an open Lottery, by which the Public will have the Tickets cheaper by many pounds than in any Lottery for twenty years, it immediately bore a considerable preMium at the Stock Exchange. A melancholy accident occurred on Tuesday, at Chester. A young gentleman named YATE, accom panied by two friends, Mr. BRAIIAM and Mr. HUN TER, went in Mr. Y.'s boat on the Dee, when, in con sequence of the violence of the wind, .it was upset. Mr. BRAHAM and Mr. HUNTER succeeded in gain ing the land, but Mr. PATE was drowned, and al: though the body was speedily recovered and every means of resuscitation tried, proved ineffectual. Mr. PATE was a remarkably feat less young man, 24 years of age. Last year he made a trip to the Isle of Man in a slight boat, and .this year intended a voyage to Dublin in a small skiff. The account in the papers of a dreadful accident at Bryncoed colliery, by which six men are stated to have been killed, is entire:) , without foundation.-- The narrative was given to the editor of the county "paper in which it appeared by 'an impostor, who le vied contributions on several humane persons at Chester, in aid of the families supposed to have been left destitute by this accident. The Nem I imes is pleased to sa that it was " ne cessity, and net choice," that led NA to ascend the 4 4 Ter, by Bassaro. It is not wise i t thus to contra dict M. VILLELE ; people will begin to suspect thit it lias lost, his countenance. Has not his Excellency proclaimed that MINA gave the Fiench troops the slip, and had left them two davemarch behind them ? 'Call you this compulsion? We will leave the World "to judge whether it be not, in more senses than one, as choice a manoeuvre as ever partizan accomplished. A wag seeing COBBIETT'S account of hi s journey from London to Worth, observed; that the trld'Man bid neverteen so tar from Isoffinbefore ! '
