The following extracts from the Trish papers will give our readers some idea of the sensation excited by the recent communication from Rome. "W e are icaily glad that Quarantotti has afforded to the people of Ireland An opportunity of repelling the charge of passive obedi ence and mean übservielicy to the See of St. Peter.—They will not obey this Decree." Atid an 6. his,' Priest," in the same paper, expresses himself in the following c'egast manner upon the subject :--" Mr. Quarantotti, ant his most teamed Prelates, were undoubtedly pour at the time ; the arguments/. ed metros is very strong every wher e , and particu lads ut tome." He then proceeds to call the Pope's Vicar " a consummate block. MAY 15 head," and concludes thus :•--Je Every attempt to weaken the Ca tholic Church in Ireland shall in the end prove fruitless; and as long as the Shamrock so green' shall adorn our island. so lone shall the Faith delivered to us by St. Patrick prevail, in spite of Kings, Parliament, Orangemen, and Quarantottis." " On Sunday, many pathetic adraotions against the Papal Rescript were pronounced from the Altars of the diffekent Chapels of the City. The Clergymen exhorted their flocks to be patient ; to re. main tranquil under so severe a visitation ; but to be prepared, if necessary. to sacrifice their lives rather than surrender the freedom of their Church, to Prelate,. or to Pope. The exhortations sere heard with deep emotions of indignation ; vnd it was easy to see that the resistance will be universal." COURT IOF KING's BENCH, SATURDAY, MAY 14. LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT. The Attorney General said, he had on a former day obtaiped a rule for an attachment against a person of the name of Berestis for a con tempt in not having obeyed a writ of habeas corpus issued by-one of 'heir Lordships calling on him to produce the body of a man named Haffman, the master of a trading vessel. Mr. Abbott had since ob tained n rule, calling on him to alley, cause why that attachment and liaheati'should not both be discharged, and against that rule he had now to shew Cause. Berestis was the captain of a Spani . sh armed vessel, and had, it appeared, fallen in with II uffinates vessel as she was pro ceeding to a French pert under a British licence. Notwithstanding her licence he detained and bought her into Portsmouth. Huffman, on cutnieg on shore, ,had proceeded to London, and obtained an order for landing and warehouseing the goods till the question of condemnation should be decided ; with this order he returned to Portsmouth, but had no sooner arrived there than •he was seised by Berestis, sent on board the Spanish vessel, put in irons, and treated with the utmost ri gour. Upon this proceeding, a habeas had been applied for, and ob tained for his discharge, but Berestis refused to obey it, saying that Huffman was a prisoner of war, and he would not release him except in compliance with an order from the Spanish Ambassador. The Attorney-General now contended, that Huffman was not a prisoner of war, and that, even if he had btcn so, would not have justified has being treated with such severity, and even craelty. Mr. Abbot said he had no opposition to make, except what was stated in Berestis's affidavit, namely, that Huffman was a prisoner of war, and had escaped, and, therefore, that in regaining his person, he was justified in confining him. Lord Ellenborough did not consider Huffman as ever having been a prisoner of war, but even if he had, the conduct of Berestis was not to be justified. Such conduct could not be toltrated, even towards a ne gro slave. It would he well that this Gentleman should obey the Ha bees, discharge Huffman, and pay all expellees. The attachment would be made absolute, hat would remain in the Mastet's hands for a ' short period, to allow of his doing so. Mr. Abbott undertook that Huffman should be immediately dis charged, and that all expellees should be paid by his client. THURSDAY, MAY Lt. THE KING V. DANIEL ISAAC EATON. The Attorney-General moved thy judgment of the Court on this defendant, who had been convicted of publishing a blasphemous libel, under the title of Ecce Homo."—The defendant entered the Court, apparently labouring under great bodily infirmities. The indictment having been partly read, Mr. Gurney hoped the Attorney-General would not now press for judgment, as should the defendant, in his present state of health, be again sent into coutine• mcm►t, it we% not likely he would survive a month. The Court said, they could not torget the unbending obstinacy of the defendant, who seemed determined never to be amended by the correction which the law had repeatedly applied. He had lately been in Negate, and he was again an offender. They were aware that he was but the miserable tool of some others; for the book in question was evidently the production of misapplied talent, and was of powerful mischievous effect. It would be desirable that those behind the curtain should be brought to condign punishment. The Attorney-General aid, it was dear that the Defendant was but a w retched object, who lent himself to the wickedness of others. But if he had any sincere wish to merit the mercy of the Cow t, he would do well to give up the authors. After a short pause, Mr. Gurney- stated that the Defendant had agreed to disclose the name of the author, which ke handed over tea' the Attorney-General. The judgment upon the Defendant was then respited, and he was ordered to be brought up again on a future day.
