The great question of Catholic Emancipation, has bEn again brought befiire Parliament. On Wednes day last. Mr. Plunkett, in a speech which from its comprehensiveness and depth of argument, would have immortalized a man, thereto unknown, intro duced a motion for the appointment of "A committee to amsider the best means of adjusting the Catholic claims”—on this motion a division took place, and the declaration of A MAJORITY OF SIX, IN ITS FAVOUR, was received with such enthusiastic cheers as made Westmin: ter-hull echo to the liberal ky Lord Castlereagh supported the motion both by his speech and vote, and we hope and trust that his Lordship will pay off a little of the heavy debt he owes to his oppressed and injured Catholic coun trymen by doing so throughout, with a hearty intention of carrying it through—which we know he has the power to do, if lie really and honestly mean to do it—persisting in the narrow policy of the fifteenth century, is a disgrace to the enlightened statesmen of the present age—and jus tice and gratitude alike call upon the British Par liament to grant this boon, to those to whom in a great degree are due the laurels gained during the Peninsular war, as well as the triumph of %Va. terloo. A bloodless revolution has taken place in the island of Madeira—the soldiery united with the citizens, and resistance on the part of the govan- • . -• • • THE NATIONAL REGISTER merit would have bzen useless—this is, as it should be, and we ardently hope that wherever tyranny is exercised it may speedily be replaced by a govern ment whose effect shall be beneficial to the people ; —such a one may most proporly be called " A GLORIOUS REVOLUTION. " •---•• Petnimis pour i from all quarters complaining but too truly of' ex treme distress—the mechanic complains that after several years of unexampled plenty, the prices of provisions remain undiminished, while the success ful opposition of manufacturers on the Continent, curtails his means of disposing of his goods—the agriculturist complains that the bounty of Providence ti r succeeding years has been unproductive of benefit to him -fir that, by every exertion and economy he is unable to pay his rent and, maintain his fami:y—and true as these complaints are, to what source call they be attributed but to the per severance in the plans of the " Heaven-burn mi nister" of the " P,ltit that weathered the storm" to the prosecution for more than twenty years of " a just mid necessary war" in which to take the first step, was a disgrace to the liberal feelings so con stantly vaunted by the English nation—a disgrace rendered indelible by her long perseverance in it ; and what are now the results? Why, England is overwhelmed with a debt she is unable to discharge, the intcl•ust of which can only be paid by the ex hibitionof the tax-gatherers' warrant to seize—such be your Tory triumphs! Mr. Robinson has intro duced a Bill to amend the returns of averages which will have really the effect of enhancing the restric tive importation price—while our agriculturists are starving, much may be said in defence of such a measure—while our methanics are without suste- Imam, much may be said in its condemnation—our vicious expenditure against the liberties of France has placed us in a dilemma, from which we see no means of escap,t. THE LATE DUEL.—Another victim has been sacrificed upon the Shrine of fu/ac honour—an amiable Wife has been deprived of an affectionate Husband, her young family of the protection of their final Father, Society of -An able supporter of liberal opinions, and Literature of one whose per formances have shed a lustre on tli,2 age in which he lived !—Does the Duellist hind in the Divine Condemnation of the NI URDEILLR, any exception in favour of fifshionable slaughter, or dues he suppose that at that Bar where his arguments will be stripped of their deceptions, it will be admitted as ' an ;•xcuse for Murder, that he wits compelled by his hollow to break the command of his CIIEA ron ? —We arc not friends to ez-posi facto laws—but we really think a proclamation ought to be issued, declaring the determination of his Majesty in Council not to extend in future the Royal mercy, to either principals or seconds who may be found guilty, and Juries will best do their duty by ceas ing to equivocate the oath they have taken—we would further call upon the Government, in the event of every asaillevs Duel to indict the parties capitally for " shooting at with intent to kill" in which the seconds would Le included as necessaries, and we tel fully convinced that the execution of the ifincipals nMd seconds in one Duel, would do away with a practice which disgraces us as a nation, and which is in point of filet but a shatk better than ASSASSINATION ! Oliicial accounts have been received from Naples The paper called The Friend tip/ the Con s.tys " We have now no alternative let,—war is determined upon: but such a war as has rendered the Spanish nation inunortal—a war which leaves the people only the choice between liberty and death.'' " NAPLES, Feb. 10. On the requisition of the President and Secretaries of the Government, the Prince Regent convened the Parliament extruordittaryoccording to the limn pre acrilicil by the Constitution, and it way made known ti.at the preparatory assembles should meet on Monday, the 11th, and by ctilling upon his Royal Highness to open on the 13th the NA tional Parliament Extraordinary. \.£~. • on FEBRUARY 13 —lt is impossible to express the joy which the extraordinary meeting of the Perlis liament has excited amon' the people The great street of Toledo was lined with detachments of the brave guard ofsafety, and of regular troops. Salvoes of artillery announced the departure from the Palace of his Royal Highness, our adored Prince Royal, and of his august Family. His ap pearance produced the most lively enthusiasm, and cries of " Long live the Prince !—" The Con- • stitution fin. ever!" rung to the very skies. On the arrival of the Prince in the hall of the National Parliament, where the galleries were crowded with respectable citizens, his Royal High ness whlresf.xl the members ut very great length, to whom the President answered with professions of their devotion to their King, his family, their country. and their liberties. He concluded by saying—" Your Royal Highness, with that noble frankness and integrity by which you are charac terised, has just pronounced these memorable words, that you will be ever with us and with the nation,' anti the grateful nation will know how to maintain eternally on the throne of the Two Siedies the dynasty of Charles." At these words the hull resounded with fresh ac clamations, which uecompinied the Prince and his august spouse the whole way from the Parliament to the Palace. After the Prince's departure, his Excellency the Duke de Gallo, Secretary of State, ad interim, for foreign affairs, made a report to the chamber of his mission to Laybach. His Excellency then communicated, Ist, the • notes cf the Foreign Ministers in reply to that of his • Majesty, which had been. trunsmitted to Congress. • 2.

The note of the French Charge d'Affitirs, in reply to a similar demand of explanation, touchin4 the continuance of the French - squadron, in the same port. The President then named a commission, composed of several_ eminent • members, to examine the above documents. After the report of the deputy, &rein, ehairman of the commission, the Parliament adopted, Without a dissenting voice, the proposed measures for the defence of the country. At the Levee on Friday last, a petition from the • House of Assemblx of Jamaica, was presented to • his Majesty by Slr. George ilibert, agent thr the • island, accompanied by Messrs. C Ellis, G. W. • Taylor, and W. Dickenson, members of the House of Commons. The petition represents in expressive terms, the state of which Jamaica, and the old British %Vest India colonies generally, are reduced by the inadequate returns which their staple com modities obtain at market, owing to the burtheit some duties oppressive regulations, am& to the advantages which rival colonies and possessions • enjoy, unfettered by the restrictions of our colonial : system. The prayer of the assembly is, that his • Majesty will be graciously pleased to extend to them that protection, both immediate anti permaneat, . which their earnest representations have hitherto fltiled to obtai'.. '1 he King, assisted by her Royal Highness the - Princ,:ss Augusta, will hold a drawing room, at the Palace of Buckingham-house, on the 2::t.1 of the - ensuing month. It is said, too, that his Majesty will . give a series of six several balls in the course of the season, at Carlton Palace; and that the invitations will be unrestricted by any political feeling. The army estimates tor the present year have been printed. The total number of men is 101,367, from which deduct 19,899, amount of rcgimenis serving in India, there remain, exclusive of corps intended fur reduction, 81 468; add to which, corps to be reduced in 18;:1. amounting to f 1,794, there remains to be provided cur, in the present year, 93,.26 . 2 ; the tout charge is, 6,643,9681 5.5.
