While strangers were excluded from the gallery on Tuesday night, we understand that Mr. I.lltouonma who had not been in his place dining the debate) rose, under evident marks of illness, Ind shortly ad. dressed the House, to express his approbation of the "...lotion, and his regret that he had' been prevented from stating his opinion more in detail, by an indis position, in consequence of which he had applied to have the goedion put off fora day, an arrangement which bad been prevented by an accident. He stated, that be was the more anxious to mention the grounds on which he supported the motion, becaihe he went a considerable way farther than some of his Honour able Friends (Sir S. Rotels.t.V and Mr. TIERNEY), in Es views of Reform; and because he stood pledged to state those views explicitly. He added, that he was anxious to see the question again brought tor ward in lay shape shish should give him the oppor tunity he desired; and in the mean time he could only state, which he did most conscientiously, his unalterable adherence to his former sentiments upon this impiastant question.—Mr. PLUNKETT spot:e very Inlay on the opposite side. He expressed much re gret at having to differ from those friends with whom !se always acted s• but were he to vote for sending these Fenn .us to a Committee, he should give countensoce so a proposition winch he denied—that the distresses care, , lained of originated in the defects of the repre sentation. He was by no means, however, prepared to reject all plans or Reform that might be proposed; and he declared his readiness to &Koss those m.:a sares in detail, to which several Memoers had r. red (SirS.

We believe that the Repeal of that Act is, however, only the ostensinlea—not his real object in making such a mo tion. He has ts,ca accused of vacillation by some of his own friends, oil the question of Annual Parlia ments. To this principle, it is alleged, he stood pledged--but some months ago, he teemed to have spoken in favour of triennial Parliaments. Those who pretetsd to be in the secret say, that the appro bation supposed to have been given to Triennial, was' not a declaration thit he had abandoned his pre ference to Annual Parliaments; but merely a wil lingness to take the one if the other could not be obtained—and that he ,has pledged hi ',self to make a declaration to that effect in his place. He was to have done so on Sir FRANCIt BURDETT'S mo tion. That has gone off, either from Mr. Baoucunst's indisposition, or from other causes, without the pro mised pledge being yet redeemed—and hence, it is Wined, comes the promised motion for the repeal crib:. Septennial Act—when his declaration is to be made without ambiguity or reservation. The motion for aCommittee. made by Sir FRANCS Butecrr on Tuesday night, and rejected by a ma im!, of 183, was the same made by Mr. Pm in 1782, and lost only by a majority of 20. It was again brought forward in 1812 by Mr. BRAND, and rejected by a majority of 127. The Tunis'an Corsair, of which the GANYMEDE l ent in pursuit, has made her escape for the present. 1 4 (Amen got sight of her on Monday off Lathy Head, and chased her to the Westward, but without success, the Corsair being the better sailer.

It is certainly high time that the Law (or at least °voile) of Nations respecting Declarations of War by any State against others at a distance. and with ' ls m, in the nature of things, they can have no c'Else of complaint arising from locality—from the I tarnichments of their respective subjects on each I *at's property—were put upon a foundation some 't'at conformable to the principles of equity and c v ornmon seine. —BONAPARTip the then Sovereign of ba, invaded France in the beginning of 1814. d d he justify the act ?—He was, he said, an It'dependent Sovereign, and had a right to make war 'gout any other Power whatever ! —That is, with "l being bound to assign any other reason than every Is a r i g h t to ma k e war u p o n every other State. _ i t s upon this principle recognised in practice in Europe —but which ought to be. torn up by the roots, th 4 the Tunisians have thought fit to declare war / Viola the Hanseatic Towns. If they have this 'by what right have we deprived them of two • Prizes, and captured one of their cruisers ? In the general league of Europe against &Nii hau, there was a kind of practical recognition of Principle, that in future an act of aggression ig only on the will of an individual, or of one Eti should be repelled by general consent and tof the others. This principle 'bomb! be ap la its utmost extent to all acts of aggression by the Mootibl; Powers spina any of the Stems which form the great family ni Europe.

Extracts of letters from the Agents to Lloyd's at Faysl. dated 18th and 19:h April. 1817 : " Asian 18.—We have intelligence of three Insurgent Priva. teen having been in the latitude of Flores—they consisted of twb schooners and a brig, and were occasionally in company.— Mr. WILLIAM WILKIA, master of the Ann, from London, as l qualets me he fell in with three vessels on the let instatlf, which' answered the description of the above privateers—he hoisted hit colours, but it being near dusk and blowing fresh, they did Dot molest him. They were steering Eastward." Aran. 19.—Yesterday evening an American brig, front New-York, bound to Gibraltar, came into our Bay and landed the Master and crew of the Portuguese ship Marques de Pom ba', Capt. GOISSALVES DA COSTA, from PAIDAMbUCO to Oporto, captured on the 20th ult. in lit. SS. 50. lon. 56. The Captain and crew of the privateer were nearly all Americans, and the Master of the vessel bound to Gibraltar Las given the Portuguese Capain a certificate that the Commander of the privateer is losers STAtIOAD, an American, and native of Baltimore.— 'lin privateer captured the Portuguese brig St. Joao Protector, Carduza Master, from Bahia to Lisbon ; and a Spanish ship, tram Havannah to Cadia. She manned her three prises, and' ' sent them, it is supposed, either for Carthagena or St. Domingo.' The privateer is caked the Patriots de Buenos Ayres, and it does not appear that she has been in concert with two schooners." Late accounts from Leghorn, and different ports in Italy, state, that several British vessels have been obliged to return with their cargoes, the new import, duties being so heavy as to render them equal to a prohibition of English goods. The ESK sloop.of war has been at Port•stu•Prince, with a demand, couched in strong terms, from the Governor and Admiral of Jamaica, for the Pilot Ne groes who had Red from Kingston, and taken refuge in Hayti, to be free from slavery. President Prrtos, we understand, declared it to be out of his power to give them up, as they had touched a land of liberty, but made the owner, who was on board the Esx, a present of a sum of money as acompensation for his loss. Monday, Maass Edgar, accused of administering unlawful oaths, was brought before the High Court of Justiciary, at Edinburgh, on a new indictment. When our letters came away, Mr. Cultic was die. puting the right of the public prosecutor to try the prisoner on a new libel, before the question of rele• luau on Use former indictment had, been fully triad. SCOTTISH CHRISTIRIV ..r,yowl,rnGß soCI Yesterday the Anniversary rf tie " Society in Scotland, for propagating Christian Enr,.... - leet.;;r in the Highlands and Istamis," was celebrated at Preersia• SO/IS' Hall, Ins Royal Highness the Duke of fivssex en the Chair, supported on one side by WATiON Tanoon, Eati.

Song—litheve me, it all those endearing yming charms. A ter this toe Royal Chairman gave the" Health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, one of the Presidents of the Institution." The Duke of Sussex then rose, and after some le marks on the origin and excellence of the Institution, gave as a toast— Success to the Society fort ropagaiing Chrl!tian Knowledge the Highlands avd Islands of Scurho The health of the It. yal Chairman was now drank, when his Royal Highness took occasion to enlarge on the superior claims of the Institution ro public pa. ti onage. He observed, at the same time, that the cause oi the Institution was connected with that of the female sex, for it was the cause of education, of public and social life—nor could he help, wt the present occasion. when he had the pleasure to ob serve the attendance of so many of that most endear. ing and estimable sex, (the Gallery of the Halt was ccupied by Ladies) reminding them of the truly pr-ud pre eminence, which they enjoyed ov.r the women of all other countries. Here and here only, they could run the race of chalky isilt man; here asid only here, were / they beloved and respected for those imperishable charms, the virtues of the heat which formed their truest pride. His Royal High ness now .proposed the " Health of the Ladies," *lnch was followed by the glee of—liere's a health to all good Lana. JASAXS Tnotasoie, Esq. one of the Honorary Se cretaries of the Institetion, was called upon to make a cetuniunic ition to the company. It would. he said, have been his ditty in the first instance to have la mented .be absence of their last President, the Duke of Kent, had they not now been 'cheered with the presence of a Prince not less allied to their former President by the ties of consanguinity, than by the attachments of beneficence. He was instructed to thank the Vice Presidents, who were all unfortunately absent; the Treasurer, who was never absent ; and the Rev. Gentleman (Rev. Daniel WiLon, A. M.) who this year advocated their cause. This charty. tottered by their ancestors, it would be heresy to abandon, arid sacrilege to' disc egard. Toast—. Vice Presidents." Perxit LaUhte, Ebq. congratulated his Royal Highness on the situation he held, but lamenteJ it was not possible to present to him those ch;idri:n vino were the objects of their paternal case. Every one, perhaps, knew the gratification of seeing IMO ctulstren its St. PaisPo'Cathedral ; *ben', however, be asserted that there were V 2,000 under their care, he should leave them to imagine the result. They had Scottish pride, it was true, but it was mixed with Ocottibb integrity dud principle. They had certainly no idea of an irreligious education, which was power without principle, and force without conscience. It the effects of education were to be sought for in Scot land, he could only say of Highlanders, that they were bons in the field, and lambs in their cottages. The Rev. HENRY WHITE proposed the " Church of Scotland and its Clergy." The Rev. Dr. CHALStints, in an animated and mrst eloquent speech, returned thanks on behalf of the Scottish Church. He described the system of educa tion in Scotland as its " cheap defence." Its objects were most productive, for it regarded, not only utility ; here, but also an immortality to come. The true po litical edifice was composed of all that is sound in the poor, with all that is beautiful and durable in social life. In common with the Reverend Gentleman who lately sat down, he admired those symptoms of ap proximation between the Churches of England and Scotland. He gave the health of " the Rev. Sir Robert Peat, and the Church of England." " The Navy and Army" were drank with three times three; and the •' Lord Mayor and City of London!" followed. Dr. Nicol. said, he was called on by his Royal Highness to give a favourite, a partial toast, The Land of Cakes ;" that land which gave them birth. the land of their fathers. If any land had a right to be proud of the enjoyment of liberty and religion, that land was Scotland ; but he rejoiced to .behold the period when the Douglas and Percy could meet on the borders without fighting. The educatinn of the people was the salvation of Scotland • and the, readiest way to lower the poo r - ra t e in England, was' to advance the people in habits of industry and intel-1 ligeace. He loved his country on many accounts. but fur nothing more th an it s b e i ng u n it e d with E ng - , land; and the man who sowed dissension between, them, was alike the enemy of both. United as we' were—England with Scotland and Ireland, and aided by Christian principles, we might defy the combined world. He should most cordially give the land of independence and kindness, and might they long prove worthy of their mother. He concluded by giving—" The Land of Cakes." Sang — 4 Scots, wha ba'e we Wallace Weil Dr. LINIItiAY, in a speech as luminous as philoso phical, said, that the speech of his worthy friend (Dr. Nicol) just reminded him of the sentiment of a predecessor of his, who thanked GOD that he had been born in Scotland, but lived in England. He was happy to find, however, from what had passed this night, that the Churches of England and Scot land, which were, a century past, like two rival beau ties, scratching one another's faces, and rioting like were now meeting on friendly terms. It had been said, however, that “ A littte learning Is a dangerous thing." Great names sanctioned great nonsense; for know. ledge iii all its gradations was itself a good. It we were not perfect, let us be as perfect as we progressively can. That Scotchman was not a man, who did not honour his country as the parent of parochial schools. Dr. MASON, from New Yogic. went into the sub ject at considerable length. That man, he observed, must posse.ls but a feeble vision, who did not per ceive the finger of Parivinatice is what was going on. Every where t.e element. of char cter were purifyimg.

MORALES' anchored his squadron under the Morro, a large fortified hill at the entrance of the harbour, of which he took possession, at'sl debarked not only the military, but als'i great part of the crews, in all about 2000 men. Ile sent orders to Rest, to commence the attack on Larcelona, situat..4l twelve miles op the River, on the 341, in the mottling, and himself marched to assault it in front, leaving one • hundred men in the Morro to protect his vessels. On his approach, the discharges sit artillery and mos. I. etry led him to suppose that Itr,at, was already en. gaged, as in fact he Was, but not in the attack o; the town. On the first approach of REAL, BOLIVAR had sent orders to Generals Nlstilso aid AItILMENDI to come to his aid ; and the latter, at the head • t 1500 cavalry, reached the position of ReAL just as he w::s preparing to take his share in the attack pr:coi.certed with NloitaLis, and crippled him so much, that he was compelled to retreat hastily towards CArACCaS, atter much hard fighting.
