The great question of Catholic Emancipation ) has Men again brought before Parliament. Oa Wednes day last. Mr. Plunkett, in a speeeh 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 consider 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 mode Westminster-hall echo to the liberal joy 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 currying it through—which we know lie has the power to do, if he 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 Wa 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 govern meat would have been 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 properly be called " A GLORIOUS REVOLUTION. " •••••••••• Petitions pour in 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 manutltcturers on the Continent, curtails his means of disposing of his goods.—the agriculturist complains that the bounty of Providence fur succeeding years has been unproductive of benefit to him—for that by every exo tion and economy he is unable to pay his rent and maintain his tinnily—and true as these complaints are, to o what source can they be attributed but to the per severance in the plans of the " I - leaven-born mi nister" of the " Pilot that weathered the storm" to the prosecution fur more titan twenty years of "u just and necessary war" in which to take the first step, was a disgrtwe to the liberal feelings so COR• stantly vaunted by the English nation—a disgrace rendered indelible by her lung perseverance in it ; and what are now the resnit.-; ? Why, England is overwhelmed with a debt she is unable to niseharge, the interest of which can only be paid by the ex hibitionof the tax-gatherers' warrant to seize—such be your Tory triumphs! ,l r. Robinson has intro duced a Bill to amend the returns of averages ‘vhieli 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 u measure—while our mechanics are without suste nnace, much may be said in its condemnation—our vicious expenditure against the liberties of France has placed us in a dilemma, front which we see no means of escape. Tim LATE Don.—Another victim has been sacrificed upon the Shrine of fidsc honour—an amiable Wife has been deprived of an affectionate Husband, her young family of the protection of their tbnd Father, Sudety of an able supporter of liberal opinion►, and Literature of one whose per finmances have shed a lustre on the ago in which he lived !—Does the Duellist find in the Divine ondemnation of the NI IntnEnLa, any exception in favour of.fusleiottable slaughter, or does he suppose that at that liar where his arguments will be stripped of their deceptions, it will be admitted as an excuse for Murder, that he was compelled by his honour to break the command of his CltE.t run? —We are not friends to ezpact 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 J uries will hest do their duty by ceas ing to equivocate the oath they have taken—we would farther call upon the Government, in the event of every idoodlecs Duel to indict the parties capitally for " shooting at with intent to kill" in which the seconds would be included as necessaries, ar.d we feel fully convinced that the execution of the principals and seconds in one Duel, would do away with a practice which disgraces us as a nation, and which is in 'mint of fac, but a silade better than ASSASSINATION ! Official acesrnts have !ken received from Naples The paper called The Friend of the Com 'initial, says " We have now no alternative left—war is determines! npon : but such a war as has rendered the Spanish nation immortal 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 extraordinary,aceording to the Jinni pro scribed by the Constitution, and it was made known that the preparatory assemblas should meet on Monday, the 126, and by calling upon his Royal Ifiglinews to open on the 13th the Na tional Parliament Extraordinary MP • FEIRUAItY 13 —lt is impossible to express the joy which the extraordinary meeting of the Parlia liament has excited among the peopl. The great street of Toledo wax lined with detachments of the brave guard of'sa Tety, and of regular troops. Salvoes of ail "lery 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 for 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 addressed the members at very great length, to whom the President answered with professions of their devotion to their King, his family, their country. and their lib. , ties. 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,' and the grateful nation will know how to maintain eternally on the throne of the Two Sicilies the dynasty of Charles." At these words the hall resounded with fresh ac clamations, which accompanied 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 of the Foreign Ministers in reply to that of his Nl:jeFty, which had been transmitted to Congress. 2. The notes presented to the Prince Regent by the Foreign Ambassadors at Naples, with the Prince's answers. The notes of the British Ambassador at Naples, in reply to a demand of explanations with regard to the squadron of English men of war at anchor in the Bay. t. The note of the French Charge d'Affairs, in reply to a similar demand of explanation, touching 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, ehairman of the comanission, the Parliament adopted, without a dissenting voice, the proposed measures for the defence of the country. At the Levee on Ftitlay last, a petition from the • House of Assembly tt .Jamaica, was presented to his Majesty by Alt. Gorge Hihert, agent for the island, accAolipani:sl 'by Ale•srs. C Ellis, G. W. Taylor, and W. Dickenson, members of the House of Commons. The petition represents in expressive tet.ns, the state of which Jamaica, and the old lititish NVest India colonies 6 , •enerally, are reduced by the inadequate retains which their staple com- • inoditics obtain at market, owing to the but•then some duties oppressive regulations, and to the advantages which tivul colonies and pu.sessions enjoy, unlettered 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 prutection, Ixalt immediate and permarteut, tvhich their earnest representations have hitherto tailed to obtain. 'the King, assisted by her Royal Highness the Augusta, will hold a drawing room, at the Palace of luekingham-house, on the 32d of the ensuing month. It is said, too, that his Majesty wul give it suits of six several balls in tile course of the season, at Catiton Palace; anti that the invitations will be unrestricted by any political feeling. The army estimates for the present year have been printed. The total number of men is 101,367, tibia which deduct 19,890, amount of regiments serving in India, there remain, exclusive of corps intended for reduction, 31,463; add to which, corps to be reduced in 1821, amounting to 11,794, there remains to be provided tor, in the present year, 93,262: the total charge is, 6,6 53,9681. ss. 3d.
