A day or two afterwards, the Gentle men at Lloyd's complained that the information was not correct ; and the result of this complaint was, that the Admiralty invited the Gentlemen at Lloyd's to come for information and explanation. This was on Saturday ; and these Gentlemen, perhaps wishing for a holiday, declined corning on that day. A letter was then written by the Secretary, desiring they would come on the Monday ; but this letter, it ap peared, offended them, and they complained that the Admiralty had departed fiom their usual course, and treated them with want of respect, in sending an invitation from the Secretary instead of,the Board. The Board having not the slighest wish to offend the Gentlemen at Lloyd's, directed another letter to be written, in which they declared they had no intention to treat them ssi 11 disrespect, and again desired an interview. Still these Gentlemen refused any verbal; communication; and the Board, considering they had condescended far enough, here broke off the corre spondence, and put an end to the dispute ; and he • trusted the House would leave it to the discretion of the Admiralty whether they would 'ive to any indi vidual written or verbal communicattons—(Hcar).--- And he must say, that, although the Admiralty were always ready to give information to any individual who applied for it respectfully, so, whilst there were the Chairmen of Shipowners and other Associated Bodies to make that inquiry, it was immaterial, and; indeed, unnecessary, to confine their communication to the Gentlemen at Lloycrs-4.llear, laaar).—The.Hon. Baronet observed, it was unfair in the Hon. Mem-, bar who had brought forwarsi this motion to say that no force had been employed for the protection of the trade in that quarter, when there were the Carnation, the Dotterel, the Swift, the Scontland others. It was equally unfair for him to have said that nothing had been done against the pirates. He would state what' had been done .by these vessels against the pirate hordes, as soon as the Spanish Government could be " That it is expedient to inquire whether the present Church Establishment of Leland be now more than commensurate to the Services to be performed, both as regards the Number of Persons employed, and the Incomes they receive ; and, if so, whether a lieductiou of the same 6h41114.1 114 take place, with due regard to all existing Interests."

B AFFAIR 07 HONOUR.—A iumonr has for some days been in circulation of a duel hiving taken place be tween two distinguished Foreigners. The following is said to be an authentic statement of this affair : About two years ago, the Neapolitan General Caaiisitosa, announced his detarminatiea of calling out lieunmant-General Wits:ast Pere, late Commander of the Neapolitan forces.-- Very shortly after the arrival in London of General Pan, he received a letter from General CA lIASCOS4 in which,. after charging General Pen with conduct injurious to hil reliutation, he pointedly avowed his opinion, thSt military natation. 'rare, in all cases, contrary to the principles of bonuswr4hat any change in the Government of Naples was unnecessary—and still less in that of Spain. The letter concluded with a challenge in the usual terms. To this letter, General Patel, by ditlatini his Opinion, that every bee hate was indebted hr its liberty to maguey re volution—that the Spaniards weri now a pal to civil anarchy, only, because certain individuals, calling themselves Liberals, were, in fat, hostile to the Constitution of the Cortes—that he ' had mapheyed the authority which kb rank and his command bad given him et Naples, to resist the despotism of a Govern ment, which, while it rendered the people miserable, was of no actual advantage to the reigning dynasty—and concluded by ac cepting the challenge. On the 20th of February, the Generals met—Count Sara Rosa, Keolliniater of War of Piedmont, attended General Pan, and N. Bun; Par, a French Gentlem an, General Casa*. cosa. The weapons were swords—and the combatants engaged —but at the second pan, General Pares sword snapped that, near the guard, on which the seconds interfered. and the combat, as is anal in such eases, was deferred. A second meeting took place ea Friday last, a few miles from London, not far from Kew Bridge. Oa engaging, General Caaaseort attacked with great impetuosity, but after several passes on both sides, General' Pere seizing his adversary sword with his left hand, disarmed bins I and, plachig.the point of his sword at his breast, had his life in his power. Here the affair would bare terminated, but General Cam/4mA, on re covering his sword, renewed the combat, which was warmly maintained, until he'vras finally disabled, by a thrust from Ge neral Pin In the right shoulder. General Par; on seeing his adversary incapable of Nether defence, declined availing himself i a his advantage, and thus the duel terminated. - brought to co-operate — Pirate vessels taken - - - 19 Pirates killed - - -. . - 20 Pirates to be tried by the Admiral - - . 40 Taken by Spain • - - - - 17 Total of men killed and taken . . —77 If a contrary course had been pursued, not one of these men would have been brought _to punishment. So soon as these desperate men suffer death ♦olun teers would not be found to carry on the trade. If the Hon. Member for Sandwich had seen the Papers he would not have considered the Admiralty liable to blame. On the subject of removing specie in King's ships, Admiral Rowley had expressed a wish that the merchants would send their money in merchant ships. Their answer was—No ! If we comply with your de sire, it will ruin trade. It was then too much to say Officers had a sordid view in the discharge of a duty they were . obliged to perform.

Mr. Holm brought forward s last night, in the House of Commonc, his p r omi se d motion relative to the establishment and property of the Church of Ire land. Ilis first Resolution, implying that that pro perty might be devoted to other purposes than the use of the Church, as Parliament might direct, was so evidently in opposition to the general feeling of the House, that Mr. Hume did not press a division on it. He divided the House, however, on his second Resolution, to inquire into the state of the Established Church in Ireland—when 62 Members voted for WA} motion, and 167 against it; Majority, 105. If Mr. Hume be a Gentleman of any mode - ay or delicacy of mind, we know' not an individual in the whole country more deserving of pity. At this period of the year, the cruel Morning Papers, day after day, represent him as meddling with subjects so supremely above the grasp of his very ordinary capacity, that his life must be bitter indeed.— The report which they affect to give of the debate which he originated last night is meant, we should of a comment on the text of SCripture wherein it is said—" Bray a fool seven times in a mortar," &c. Mr. HUM c having somehow heard of the.m.essive Livings in the lrish Church, the Papers chew him off as running ram-slam, armed with his brazen pestle, to pound them. This is too bad. Surely Mr. limn is not so weak, though in our opinion Nature has de nied to him the power to comprehend a general prin ciple, as not to know that Church property is as much property as his own India Stock, and that hii first Resolution might just as properly have run thus. as in his words : " That the property of the Nobility of the United Kingdom is public property. under the controtal," &c.—Ur, " That the property of the Fundhoiders and Proprietor of the different Public Companies is public property, nwier the controul," &c. The poor man, as he appears in the derisive ex posures of the Morning Papers, does not seem to be aware that Guveinments exist but for the conserva tionof property—nor that the property of Corpora.. tions is as sacred as that of individuals. We mean, hereafter, " to tickle the catastrophe" of Mr. JOSXPH a little, and if we cannot teach him to estimate his • i own pennyweight of wit better, we may, if he Is go od- 1 perhaps give him the pleasure of a laugh at his cora statesmanlike qualificktions. Lisbon Papers; up to the 20th February,. have' arrived to-day. A Law has been proposed, in con.l formity with the suggestion noticed a few days ago, to declare every invasion of the Peninsula with a view of modifying its political institutions shall be considered as an aggression of Portugal, and the whole Army is to be immediately assembled. In the discussion on this subject, in the Cortes, on. the 19th, many long and animated speeches were delivered, in favour of the principles of National Independence, and against the Holy Alliance. The expedition to Bahia, consisting of about 2,000 men, sailed on the 15th February.
