at other parties?L--They did not in the beginning of the night; but in the latter part they did Antermix. Could you then have beard every word used by Sheri!, Thorpe ?--Do you mean to say that you beard every syllable be uttered?—(The answers were inaudible.) By Colonel Baaar.--If such marked ezpresetrets had been used, would they not have attracted your attention?.They would. Mr. JONll3.—Tee t if you heard theint—l feel very confident that I could not have beard demi. - - Mr. It. Sterns. —What! could there have been no conversa tion about aoy matter without your hearing and taking notice of It?—None. There was some cooversation about the riots, in which conversation the Sheriff took a part. No mention was made of the Marquis Wellesley. Did you hold the Knave of Otitis in your band?—No, not on that occasion ; but another person did, who made a reflection upon it. Come, let us have that reflection.—He threw it down, and said Damn the Lord Mayer." (.1 laugh.) Was th•ze anything said by that person about having " a lick" at the Lord Mayor?—No. Is there anytbing peculiar in the voice of Sheriff Thorpe, that renders it impossible that he could have spoken without your taking notice of it?—There is not. You are quite sure that the expressions (respecting the Orange panel), were not used by him ?—1 am. Do you think it is not possible that they could have been made use of without your hearing them ?—lt is not impossible. Why then did you not give that answer at first ?—I did not understand the question. In what way did you understand it ?--.( Answer inaudible.) What sized man used the expressions relating to the Lord Mayor ?—A short man • his name is George Graham. A lady observed that she thoutit his expressions extraordinary for so I ttle a man. Was it extraordinary then that a little man should damn the Lord Mayor any more than a tall man, for you say that the other expressions were not used?—No. And you are positive that it was solely to the expressions '• Damn the Lord Mayor," that the lady directed her observa t .ms)—Yes. The witness then stated that he did not accompany the Sheriff to the door, and never heard him say a word of Lord Wellesley during the whole evening. Cannot say whether Sheriff Thorpe is an Orangeman or not. Is not one himself, but is far the Pro testant ascendancy. By Mr. BROUGIJAM.—Tiow many persons were at the party ? —Nine; six Gentlemen and three Ladies. They sat at cards far three hours. Witness was there before the Sheriff came, a Id remained after bins. During that time there was a good deal of conversation amongst the nine persons you have mentioned ?—Those who played cards had not much leisure for conversation. How long were you there before. the card-playing corn niemed ?—About fifteen or twenty minutes. It was not for the purpose of playing at cards that he went to Sibtliorp's house, but to visit lima for old acquaintance sake, he being ill. In the first part of the eve-niug the Ladies sat in a distant part of the room. And where the Gentkmen?—ln the centre. To some questions put by the Honourable and framed Gen tleman, the witness replied in a manner which produced the following Pray, - Sir, do you think you will gain credit by that mode of answering 7-1 think 1. will. Do you know where you are ?—(Answer inaudible.) Examination continued.—Tbey were all conversing together. The Sheriff, during the whole of the fifteen or twenty minutes for which the conversation lasted before the card-table was set, was one of the knot in which it was carried on. The Sheriff was on the right hand side of the fire, witness was on the left. Did rot remain in those relative positions during the whole time; might have advanced or receded a step ; but during the whole twenty minutes no person was between witness and the Sheriff but Graham. What was there remarkable in all this that impressed it so strongly on your memory 7—(Answer inaudible). What coonecti•m had that with the precise relative positions of the six men?—(Answer inaudible). Did your having asked that question fix thole relative positions more strongly on your mind 7—lt did. What convection had the bottle with it ? Ilow happens it that you can so positively state the positions of your friends?—From an expression used by M'Connell afterwards—the gross re9ec tion• or. the party which he tittered. The witness then described the position of the party at cards. Took no memoranda.— In the conversation that preceded the card playing, several per sons spoke together ; did not attend more particularly to what wa, said by Sheriff Thorpe than by any one else. If Sheriff Thorpe and another person spoke at the same time, he could not pay more attention to him than to the other ; it was a . desul tory com:rsation, and his attention was not particularly directed to Sheri@• Thorpe. By Mr. Li. Sono.—How long was it after that evening that you heard M'Connell had stated that such and such expressions had been used ?—A very few days. By Mr. Jonas.—Can you state the relative positions of the persons forming every other company cf six or nine, in which you have been since last December 7-1 do not go much into c ottpany. Try and recollect, have you been in any other society of that number since 7—Witnees replied, that he would not undertake to say that he had not, nor could be undertake to state the posi tions of the persons composing any other party of the same num ber, that he might have been at. By Mr. Pz.t:N►aTT.—l think it impossible any one could have said anything in that company without my bearing. By Mr. Gsarratto—l did not hear the Lord Lieutenant's name mentioned. I did not hear any one say—" I wish the devil had the 3larquis %Valesley." By Sir G. Ilitt..—My hearing a few days afterwards what N•Connell had said, called my attention particularly to the re lative position of the parties, and all that passed there. By Mr. Alderman Tuostrsotr.—l paid particular attention to the way in which the parties stood, because I was interested in hearing about the bottle. I know th..t M'Conncll made use of a gross expression about the rioters, but that 1 cannot remember. By Mr. Ilisouenase—Sheriff Thorpe was in the room when I came, but I don't know how long he had been there before me. I said before, that he came in after me. I recollected all the matter in consequence of the gross expressions of M'Connell, on my question to Graham, about the throwing of the bottle; but I don't remember the expression nor the answer. Witness went away after blr. Sheriff Thorpe, whu went away accom panied by his wife. The examination was then continued by Mr. F. BUXTON and Mr. Sveas.—On being questioned as to the grossness of expres sion which had been mentitmed, witness said he considered all expressions to be gross which were not grammatically correct.— I le, however, by no means meant that the character of his whole testimony should rest on the accuracy of that answer. Examined by Mr. Baowstt.ow•.—Witness said, that If Tar. Sheriff Thorpe had declared that he had the panel in his pocket, be should have considered that a gross expression. The witness then withdrew. Wiliam Graham examined by Colonel Bator.—Stated him self to he a Printer. Had been at Sibthorpe's soon after the riot at the Theatre ; witness here named the party present ; Sheriff Thorpe had been in the room before witness • believed he had been in the room before NeCounell ; the Ladies were near the Bre, and the Gentlemen near the piano; had not heard Sheriff Thorpe use any expression about the panel ; no such expression bad been used in his hearing ; bad it been used witness =lit have beard it ; Sheriff Thorpe lett the company first. By Mr. ISUOUGHA3I. Witness had been on an ez.rdficio infor mation. lie believed a bill against hint had been ignored by the Grand Jury. Hadispoken abusively of the witnesses against the Sheriff. Serjeant Harris said to witness, "If you were heard to use these expressions, you might be ducked." Had not talked so of witnesses, but of people of bad character generally. Might have been flourishing a sword-cane in the witnesses' room. Might have said, that he would do some execution with it before he left London. Did not attend particularly to all that fell from Sheriff Thorpe at Mr. Sibthorpe's. The Ladies and Gentlemen sat together. Nollody asked witness who threw the bottle.— Thought all the party played together. Winless, M'Connell, and Jackson, weut away together. Witness sat down at cards with the company. By Mr. IL Smern.—Witness played the Knave of Clubs and said, " There is the Lord Mayor and be d--. 41 to him." Had no recollection that any Lady said anything. Had never wished the Lord Lieutenant at the Devil. Nothing then passed as to the riot at the Theatre. You are in the habit of d-.-g the Lmd Mayor 1-1 am. .- . . Ate you in the habit of d--,gthe Lord Lieutenant.?—No. Did any one d—n the Lord Lieutenant ?—No. Did you wish him to be sent to lleaven!—No. By Sir J. MACKIIITosu.—Are you a sworn Orangeman ?—I am. The witness was ordered to withdraw, and the Serjeant in structed to keep him apart from Au other witnesses. Colonel BARRY begged leave to ask the Right Hon. the At tonner-Gsseralfor Ireland if he bad any objection to answer a flew quit:lnns in his place? /dr. PLUNKETT said be had not.• Colonel BARRY placed a letter in Mr. Plunkett's hand.- 1 1 7 u that letter written by the Right Hon. Gentleinan's direc tions ?—lt was. What was the reason of the Right Hon. Gentleman's writing that letter ?—Because I was apprehensive, from what I beard, , that an attempt would be made to impanel an improper Jury. May I ask what would the nature of that Jury be which the Right Hon. Gentleman would consider a proper Jury ?—He (the Attorney General) wished for a panel that should not be composed exclusively-of one party. May I ask the Right Honourable Gentleman if a man being l an Orangeman would be a sufficient objection with hint to be admitted on the Jury ?—Certainly ; it would be perhaps a legal objection : to impanel a whole Jury of Orangemen would be a gross violation of the law. Mr. BROUGHAM objected to an examination of the Right Honourable Gentleman, in a case where his own honour and cha racter were so deeply concerned. Colonel BARRY said he had taken care to ask the Right Honourable Gentleman if he would have any objection to answer a few questions, before he had put any. Mr. WETH ERELL thought the House should know to what extent the examination was to be carried, before any further questions were permitted. Mr. WYNN.—It appeared to him to be open to the House to call for any Honourable Gentleman's testimony. That the House had a right to examine the Attorney-General, there could be no doubt ; but it was another question whether they could ask him touching the sort of Jury which he wished to have, as that trenched upon his office. Colonel BARRY.—After what has been said, I cannot go on without explaining myself. The situation in which lam placed is a painful one. I have undertaken to conduct this cue, per haps unfortunately for those concerned, and no• consideration shall induce me to shrink from the performance of my duty— (Hear).—l will examine every witness that I think necessary to the defence of the party accused. If the House think I ought not to push this inquiry further, I will desist of course; but until such an opinion is expressed, I shall feel myself called upon to proceed. The question which I have put certainly was one of opinion, but I meant that it should be introductory to questions of fact. I wish then to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether he has ever had the rules and regulations of Orangemen laid before him? Mr. PLUNK ETT.—I do not know exactly what the ques tion means. I certainly have had a printed book, and written extracts from books of the rules and regulations of Orangemen laid before me ; its that sense they have been laid before me.— Mr. WSTIIEKKLL was rising to repeat his objection, when Mr. PLUNKETT added—" I beg the Honourable Gentle man's pardon, but I wish to say, that I will answer any question, but r_ reserve to my own case the right which I would exercise in that of any other witness, of objecting to any question which I consider irrelevant. If the Right Honourable Gentleman who conducts this inquiry thinks the question relevant to She riff Thorpe's defence, I will answer it, but I think myself it is irrelevant." Mr. WETHERELL repeated his objection. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (of England) did not think his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Plunkett) being Attorney- General for Ireland, was necessarily a bar to his being examined as a witness—(Hear) —lf any improper questions had been put, he (the Attorney-General) would have felt it his duty to object to them, but to his knowledge no such questions had hitherto been asked. Sir J A NI PS AI ACK NTOS II contended that the House had a right to examine the Irish Attorney-General. He consi dered the course of inquiry pertinent too, for as it had been said that the Orangemen were a faction so influenced by party feel ings that it was improper to put them upon a Jury, it was a fair subject of inquiry to ascertain what the rules and regulations of thir. faction %1 ere. Mr. ABEItCROMBY agreed that such an inquiry was very proper towards other witnesses, but very improper towards the first Jaw Officer of the Crown, as it seemed as if the object was to extract from him a legal opinion upon this association. Mr. PLUNK ETT said, that in a popular sense, he had no objection to answer the Right Hon. Gentleman's question. Mr. SCA 11 LETT said the safest course was to pursue the inquiry, and trust to the sound discretion of the Right Hon. ' Gentleman himself, as to those questions which he would feel himself warranted in answering—(hear, hear). By Colonel BA llRY.—llas the Bight Honourable Gentlemln any objection to state whether these extracts were those of Lodge 1612? Mr. Ikuro:trr.—l don't know. Will he object to state what was the nature of these written extracts 7—l have no objection ; but the only difficulty arises from the. badness of my memory. So far as that helps me, I shall answer the question. I wish only to ask, whether these extracts differed In sub stance from the printed book 7—By the written extracts, I mean the names of individuals, and minutes of their proceedings, ex clusive of regulations. But I cannot speak correctly to any thing particular. Wi.l he object to state whether these Papers were procured for him by persons of the name of Atkinson?—l think I ought not to answer that question. Sir J. MACKINTOSH thought, that the Right Hon. Gen tleman should have been asked whether the knowledge which he had on the subject was obtained officially ? Mr. R. S nun thought this would be unfair, as his declin ing to answer would lead to the inference that he had obtained the information in the manner stated. He asked why was not a written copy of these regulations put in? Mr. CA LCRA Fr.—l have a copy in print of the Orange regulations. Colonel BARRY disclaimed the intention of extracting any thing from the Attorney-General by inference. Mr. PLUNKETT said, he would have given the same an swer to any other Member of the (louse. Colonel BARRY said he would not press the examination further.—The last question was then ordered to be expunged from the minutes. _ _ ...... Mr. 11. M A tun N.—l wish to ask the Right. Hen. Gentle. man a question. Do you not think that it was in the power of a Sheriff, fairly-minded, to Impanel a Jury which would do jus tice to both parties, from the large panel of the city of Dublin? • Mr. PLUNK ETT.-1 don't know that I can object to that question. Mr. M A RTIN.—Pm sure the Sheriff could,—(A laugh). Mr. PLU N KETT.—Then I ought to ask you the question (Laughing). Mr. MARTI N.—Tf you did, I could not object to its Irrele. vancy—l would answer it. A conversation now took place as to the next witness, wbo should be called, but upon the suggestion of Mr. WYNNE, Thomas Sibthorpe was called. T..Sibthorpe was next examined by Colonel Basxr.--.Witness was a medical student. Was present at a company at his father's home on the 17th December. Had heard no expression about an Orange panel from Sheriff Thorpe. Must have heard it if used. By Sir J. MaexiNrosts.—The Sheriff and his wife came the first; and then he thought Jackson. There was a conversation about the riot in the Theatre; Graham then said, speaking of the Lord Mayor, " Bad luck to you, Fleming." The Sheriff wished the Lord Lieutenant at the devil. As far as witness knew, there was no conversation about the bottle. The wish of the Sheriff about the Lord Lieutenant was his parting benediction. Others might not have heard the remark. Witness had spoken to M'Connell on the 26th or 27th of December, and told him that neither he (the witness) nor any of his family had heard the re mark about the panel. By Mr. Page.— Witness had read the evidence of M'Connell. By Mr. It. Swam-1111u wu the first time he had heard the Lord Lieutenant mentioned during the evening. He,ltad not heard Sheriff Thorpe express any ill will towards Lord Welles ley, or wish him out of the country, or that things would not be well till he was out of the country ; but only that he wished him at the devil, like a grace after dinner, without any connexion with anything lets. By Mr. Seaawrz—Sheriff Thorpe joined in a conversation about the riots at the Theatre; but he gave no remarkable or particular opinions, but merely as to the facts. The conversation was general, and be did not recollect any particular conversation with any one. He had no particular conversation with Graham that evening. He did not remember where Graham or Sheriff Thorpe sat before they went to cards. Graham and the Sheriff might have sat together without witness remembering it. The conversation was so general that he could not mention any of it. By Mr. Bittour.—He did not remember whether, before that time, any of the alleged rioters had been committed to prison. By Mr. Joxis.—Sheriff Thorpe and M'Connell were together from eight to eleven o'clock ; Irit he did not think that any con versation pissed which he did not hear. By Alderman THciatrson.—lle knew that Graham had been charged as a rioter at the Theatre; but Oraisam,in this =Weer sation, did not express any opiMon as to that riot. Colonel BARZT next called John Crosby Graves, - 1 Police Ma gistrate of Dublin.—Recidlected the riot at the Theatre on the 14th of December. He was there. First of all three persons were taken up ; and afterwards Graham and James Forbes were accused of being concerned in that riot. Forbes was first ap prehended in the Theatre by witness. He was discharged, but again charged with an attempt to murder the Lord Lieutenant. Public feeling in Dublin was highly exasperated. Did he think that the committal of Forbes tended to increase that exasperation ?—lt was one of many circumstances that might have increased that exasperation. Ile did not commit Forbes. There were informations against Forbes, but they were not sworn. One was as to a conversation after the riot at the Theatre, which was of a more serious nature than the others. He could not say that he subscribed the information on which Forbes was capitally committed. A detainer was lodged against Forbes, which was said to come from the Council Chamber, or the Taw Officers of the Crown, he did not recollect which. The committal of Forbes was signed by Major Sim William Leedom called by Colonel BARRY.—Is a tallow- , chandler in Dublin. lie knew a pehon named Ormsby, who is dead. He had a conversation with him a few days before his death. , lle called on Ormsby, who was in a very weak state • and, speaking of the traversers for the riot, he said, " The lad s had got off very well; but they little thought that poor Ormsby,' who was soon going before Davy Jones. was the man that threw the rattle."—He believed Ormsby to be serious, and aware of his danger. By Mr. Gootsvax.—Ormsby was not confined in Newgate, but was only a visitor to Handwich. By Mr. PLunicerr.—He never attempted to impugn the testi mony of any of the witnesses on the trial ; he was particularly intimate with Graham, Forbes, and Brownlow ; but he is not a Member of any Lodge. By Mr. BROUGHAM.—He is an Orangeman, and a Purpletnan, and had taken the oaths ; there was no higher colour connected with the Orange system than the Purple ; he believed that Ormsby was perfectly aware of his danger when he spoke of a person named Davy Jones. R. Gilbert called, and examined by Colonel BARM—He is Undet Jailer of Newgate ; a man came to the prison and iden tified Ormsby as the person who threw the rattle ; Major Tandy was present; the name of the man who identified Ormsby was Lewis ; Major Tandy was in a situation to hear everything that Paned. _ _ By Loud Alivrox.—Thought it an extraordinary circumstance that Ormsby should be pointed out. Thought it would be right to communicate it to the Government, but thought it not neces sary to go to the Crown Officers, as Major Tandy,who is a 'Po lice Magistrate, heard it. Lewis is a Sub-Sheriff of the county of Kildare, and, as the Witness imagined, easy to be found. By Lord Mn.vow.—Lewis said he was in a situation in which he could see Ormsby throw the rattle. By Mr. PLusterr.—Lewis positively pointed out Ormsby as the man who threw the rattle. By Sir J. Lewts.—Ormsby and Graham were not alike in their persons. Mr. Stodart was the gentleman who told wit ness what Lewis's name was.—The witness withdrew. Colonel BARRY said he had no other witnesses to call at present; his other witnesses were not arrived; it would be for the House to - ay, to what time the Committee would adjourn. • Mr. GOULBURN said, the Irish Insurrection Act stood for Monday ; any day after that would be convenient to him. Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, he wished to put a few questions to Sheriff Cooper.—The Sheriff was therefore called in, and ex amined.—lt was four or five days before the Commission that Mr. Poole applied to be put on the panel. Don't think the panel was settled before Poole made his application. Robert Henry Moore has known Sheriff Thorpe since 1817 ; but Mr. Thorpe had never been at his house.—After some other immaterial questions, the witness withdrew. • The House then resumed, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday. It was ordered that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to Monday. ♦William Hull and several other witnesses were, on the motion of Colonel BARRY, ordered to attend the House this day se'nnight. Mr. WILLIAMS postponed his motion on the subject of the Appellant Jurisdiction of the House of Lords to the 4th of June. The Irish Commercial Credit Bill, and Irish Unlawful Oaths Bill, were ordered to be read a second time on Monday. The Tithe Composition Bill was committed for Friday. The other Orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, MAY 10, ins. TIIE FUNDS STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The proceedings of the House of Commons last night exhibited two remarkable instances of the en lightened commercial views by which the present Administration of this country are guided. The first related to the Silk Manufacture. Mr. THOMAS WILSON presented a Petition from the Silk Manufacturers of London and Westminster, against what are termed the Spitalfields Acts, which impose so many restrictions on the silk trade of the Metro polis, that it has of late years declined here con siderably, while in other parts of the country where these Acts are not in force it has flourished amazingly. Mr. RICARDO expressed his astonishment, that in the year 1823, Acts so contrary to all sound policy could be in existence. Mr. Hussctasorr admitted that it was indeed astonishing, but stated that he had not been one tveek in office before he had turned his at tention to the necessity of their repeal, and that it was his intention, on the first open day, to move a Resolution preparatory to bringing In a Bill on the subject. He found that in some quarters (alluding, we presume, to the journeymen manufacturers whose wages the Magistrates are, by the Spitalfields Acts, empowered to fix from time to time) there prevailed a strong opinion in favour:of the existing law, but he would not be withheld by such prejudices from doing his duty to the Public. This declaration of the Right Honourable Member was received with universal satisfaction by the ,Not a dissentient voice was heard; except only that Mr. Ewell, who concurred in principle w Me, H usici s s o N , wished at the same time that the indivi: duals concerned (the journeymen manufactureN should have an opportunity of stating their sentimunee on the subject. To this there can, and will of course be no objection; but we hope that, if any ;lotion,. able Member has more influence with these inditic duals than another, it will be honestly and zealously exerted to explain to them how much their real itx t , - rests must be promoted by restoring matters -to th at free and unfettered state by which labour is alse irs surest of obtaining its just rewards. The other instance of wise reform to which wel in d alluded, related to the Soinch Linen Manufacture...; Mr. HUSKISSON moved for the repeal of sever a l x i ; tutes which impose regulations injurious to branch of trade. They had b een passed, as he ex: pressively remarked, when the Housemen ix theh a uy of interfering with the business of individuals, and were of such ingenious absurdity, that one of thee professed to regulate not only the shape of the cloth, but the number of threads in every hank of ya rn , Here too, however, it seems, there are prejudices to contend with ; but these the Hon. McAteer propose: to soothe, in a way which of itself constitutes a great and pleasing novelty in legislative practice. . If," says Mr. HVSKISSON, " there are any so prejudiced in favour of the custom as t o abide by it, the Bill will leave them free to do so, I removing, however, all penalties from those IA ho think it wiser to dispense with it." Here again the House mere unanimous in their approbation of the measure proposed by Government, and leave was given ti bring in the Bill. If Ministers go on in this way there can be hut little doubt of the benefits they will render to thi country, which has suffered and still suffers greatly from the multiplicity of restrictive Laws which "the habit of interfering" has heaped on its trade and ma. nufactures ; but it will have one effect whicil "e d o not, we confess, contemplate with equal feelings of satisfaction. Wicked as party spirit generally is, it is an amusing thing in its moments of passion and tribulation. We are seldom more entertained than when we see The Chronicle or Times in a rage; bat this pleasure we shall be in danger of losing en tirely, should Ministers persist in furnishing thee with many such trials of temper as the proem —The Chronicle, for instance, is this morning war the dullest Papers imaginable; and if one were to ask Mr. LAMBTON, or Mr. BENNET, or Mr. Meceo. NM.D, or any other of the party, what is the reasor, we are sure their answer would be—" Why, bere'ta pretty Whig Paper for you! It says, that Every credit is due to that' Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Husmi s.so sr, forsooth !), Mr. %Pa r. LACE, and Mr. ROBINSON, for their exertions (their exertions!!!) relieve the trade and industry of the country from injudicious restrictions!!!'" It will be seen, by our report of the proceedings last night in the House of Common, that Mr. BaotiostAst made. some inquiry of Mr. CANNING as to the truth of certain rumours respecting Austria and Russia. .In answer to the first question, as to there port of Russia assembling a large army on the Vi! tula, Mr. CASNINO said he believed that the Em peror of RUSSIA had collected an army in Poland; but whether it was a large one or not he could nor say. The next question put by Mr. BROUGNAW was , as to the halt of the Austrian troops, in their march through Italy. The Foreign Secretary stated that the Austrian troops had wholly evacuated the Neapo litan and Piedraontese territories, but he was not eft-- min that they had entirely quitted the Duchy of Mik: Mr. BROOGH Alf did not appear to consider the so- Men of Mr. CANNING as very consolatory—dm/1h he did not, like the Morning Chroxick, infer that, because Russia, which has never since the peace ti duced her army to a peace establishment, has a few thousand men assembled in a part of her Empire not the most devoted to her, that they are destined fora crusade against Spain ; nor did he assume, that be. cause a part of the army of Austria, in evacuatiogNa• pies and Piedmont, rested in the first proviiimaio own Empire, it was certain that the troop wool& employed to assist France. Had these troops been marched to another pat the Austrian Empire, the Chronide would havefoola out that they were intended to attack Greece; ma we are really surprised that the sage Quaint's, vbs for every why has a tvherefore, did not assign otbc ...objects for these Austrian and Russian armi es: ala dread of insurrection by the German Students's a revolt of the Poles. But whatever objects Austria or Rossi* lail have in view with these portions of their POW force, and we muck doubt that there is any spec' fic object in contemplation, we are assured 111 01 an hostile interference in the affairs of France Spain, is not intended by either of these Poway-. We have the evidence of the documents laid befo Parliament, that England succeeded in neutralists! Russia, Austria, and Prqsia, so far as relates 1 1 Spain ; and the French Kinister at War has 0 01 positively declared, that Xrance has concluded 0 Treaty by which any' foreign Power should eatery territories for any purpose whatever. We might further ask, what new circuamstall! have arisen to induce Austiia or Russia to aril a contest which they refused to join in a few ises. tie sh aff
