Mr. Huskisson has very kindly consented that the ship-owners shall be heard on Monday next, against the bill for the destruction of our maritime superiority, called by Ministers the " reciprocity of Duties Bill." Mr. Hume enquired whether Prussia would take off the higher duties imposed on British vessels, if the present bill passed into a law ! We have arrived at a strange point of save/greeteess, indeed, when it could be necessary to ask such a question. The British enquiring what Pres- Ma will do, u a recompense for the destruction of the British Navy, by British Legislators ! A State that has not a single vessel of war—that was never known in the records of a naval nation, dictates to Britain that she shall tommit an act of suicide upon her navy ! in order that she may purchase the privilege of entering a Prussian Port some hrthings cheaper! Good hearts can scarcely hold from a breach of good manners, to see such a nest of barterer' in the national temple! Bat, this is not all our degradation. Prussia not only persists in her present rate of duties, unless we destroy our maritime code ; tot Mr. Huskisson, without a blush upon his cheek, and without being silenced by the spontaneous indignation of the assembled Senate, wanted us that the Prussian Minister accompanied his declaration of a readiness to meet us upon equal ternu, (kind soul!) with " a denunciation that if we did not ." act upon this principle, the Prussian Court would " impose upon English vessels extra duties upon a still " higher scale l" We are literally amazed at this into. knee! There was a time when the man who could stoop to be the herald of such insulting language to a British Senate, could not have remained Minister for a second after he had degraded himself, and insulted the country so far! But " every ass may kick the lion now!" His teeth are drawn, his claws are pared ; his joints are stiff with age, and be is ready to barter his ancient honors, in the hope of preserving a little longer, an ex istence worthless to others, and burthedsome to himself! . Still to threaten a *tarn-out lion with the vengeance of a mouse, which the move of his paw would annihilate, is a gratuitous accumulation of insult. We are in some fear that the ship•dwners have not placed their opposition to this fatal measure upon the firm and national ground they ought to stand upon. We perceive that they require compensation, if their national advantages are to be taken away—but they Should remember the.t they hold their advantages in trust for the lECURITT of the BRITISH NAVY: What compemutiost _ _ _ _ _ can the nation receive for the admission of a princi ple whica will operate upon it like the dry rot upon buildings, and moulder it into dust, while it ap penile) maintain its orighial aspect, until the day of 641 comes, and it is found to be bat the shadow of its former self. Wind are odr sea-ports about. May we mot parody the lines of Shakspeare, and ask—" What is become of Bristol; where is Hull ? Are Liverpool, "and Glasgow then no more ?" In war, the Navy is the protector of commerce. In peace odr merchants should protect the principles of our national Davy, that they may find protection when' they need it. When British Commerce ceases to be carried on by British seamen, in British Shipr, the British Navy exists no longer; and though commerce may gain something in a pecuniary Cew, it will lose all, by losing the security, without which the largest possessions are worthless, and nomi nal owners become mere tenants upon contingencies. . Two curious granti were made last night by the House of Commons—one of 50001. for the propagation of the gospel in the colonies, where the Ministeraadmit L'hristianity must not be taught, lest the slaves should discover they have a right to liberty— and another of 15,0001.f0r promoting emigration from the South of Ireland to the Cape of Good Hope and the Canadas ! The cost of removing a family to either of those dun tries, would be sufficient to enable them to live comfortably where they are, under a good system ; and any attempt to assist Ireland, by taking away an in. significant portion of her population, while the great mass, if left under the barrow of oppression, is quite ridi= culoas, as affecting the great question.. The grant is called an experiment ; but in that sense it is contempti ble in amount. It will not remove 500 people, under Government auspices; for every step taken by a Govern bent Agent costs as much as a day's journey to those who expend their own money. All these matters are mere jobs. They certainly benefit those who have the advantage of them ; but the benefit is bought at too dear rate, and is paid for by those who receive none of it. The Church of Ireland ought to End the fund for the removal of those whom it helps to starve at home. We should suppose the present Chancellor of the Ex. chequer has a taint of Hibernianism in his blood, from his conduct on the lottery question. Some time ago, be told as that he meant only to have one lottery more; and last night he came down to propose it ; but instead of one lottery, he moved for one of 60,000 tickets, and said it was to be divided into three Lotteries of 20,000 tickets each, the usual number of tickets in one lottery. This is making as much as possible of the dead ass. Lord Nugent has obtained leave to divide his proposed bill for the relief of the English Catholics into two bills —the one conferring upon them the elective franchise, which the Ministers are disposed to let pass ; and the ether admitting them to the Magistracy, which will be opposed. Mr. Bankes, Mr. Wetherell, and others, how• ever, oppose both objects ; and success of either measure Is yet doubtful. IRELAND. A Morning Paper is chagrined that the " Catholic Ann elids& " of Ireland is about to assume the title of the " Nation' Association," by what it calk an act of oat lawry of the Protestants ; while it ought to be aware that In *iteration is mods with the view of including such Pro• testaata as ire kOnest enough to think that Ireland ought to have a national feeling against the faction which exhausts its natural and artificial advantages, and deluges its streets with blood. The "Catholic Auociation " Is also blamed for having addressed the Lord Lieutenant against the per mission of Orange processions on the 12th of J u ly, as such ain will perplex the Irish Government. It is, bow ever, perplexed enough alreade ; and has to determine at once whether it will put down the Orange faction, or be it self put down. The Catholics offer their assistance to the Government, and with good reason . on their side. They are I tired of insult and oppression. According to an account received by a Jamaica paper. as extracted from a Bogota Casette, of the proceedings of the Colombian Congress, on the 12th of April, it would seem that the Colombian Loan contracted in London, will not be acknowledged. The Colombians justify the refusal to ratify, by asserting that the power with which M. Zra was invested, was for a political and not for a financial object ; and that the contract he made for the loan was at an exorbitant rate of interest. As it appeared to them, however, that some portion of the money has been appropriated to the purchase of vessels, implements of war, warlike and other stores, as well 'as received into the Treasury of the State, it was resolved that all such ships, implements and stores shall be valued, and the sum or sums of money received into the Treasury shall be ascertained, for the purpose of repayment to the agents of the Contractors. This account was given as from the Kingston (Jamaica) Chronicle. A correspondence took place yesterday between the Contractors and M. Re venge, the Colombian agent here, with a view to remove the doubts they entertained respecting the authenticity of the intelligence; but M. Revenga had received no ad vices through the channel that conveyed the acconat, which could allay their anxiety. The paper in which the account originally appeared has, this morning, cor rected one particular in its statement :—it now states the intelligence to have been copied not from the Kingston, but from the Cornwall Chronicle, pa blished at Montego Bay. A Brazil mail arrived this morning,whieh brought the fol lowing article, dated Rio de Janeiro, March 21 : Lord Cochrane took possession to-day, at dye o'clock in the afternoon, of the port, as drat Admiral of the Natioaal Brazilian navy. He hoisted his Admiral's dad for the pre sent on board the Pedro I. The lag was immediately sa luted by the whole squadron with a discharge of 21 guns, and the acclamations of the spectators. The squadron is preparing to put to sea with all possible expedition, so that it will now remain bat a very few days in this port—bat it is not known at present what is its real destination. The subscription to a fund for improving the Brazilian Navy proceeds rapidly. His Majesty the Emperor hes sub scribed 960 monthly shares, and ordered the payment of the amount of three years to be made in advance to the amount of 7,200 millions.—Diario do Govern° of Rio Janeiro, to 1 27th March. These papers are:6lla with addresses from various towns, expressive of the unbounded attachment to his Majesty the Emperor. Bayonne papers to the 16th instant have been receiv ed this morning. They coefirts the accounts of deser tion in the Army of the Faith before Pampeluna, to the amount of one hundred and fifty men who bad become tired of military service and returned to their homes. Col. Campillo, with 1,800 men, entered Santander on the 10th, and Bilbos was threatened by the Colonel's troops, who bare occupied Orduna for some days, and cut off the com manications of tbe French; it is believed that the block ade of Santona must be raised fok the second time. There has lately been some parleying between the French and the Governors of Pampeluna and St. Sebastian : they have not led to any result, and the garrison of both places con tinue to fire at every thing that approaches the walls ; the sieges are continued, but without vigour. The Constitu. tional guerillas are represented as greatly on the increase, and when harvest is over, it is expected they will multiply still more. The Empecinado has 2000 foot and 300 horse ; his plan is to attack Valladolid, and his point d'oppii is Zamora, whence he communicates with the Portuguese who occupy Miranda with 600 men. Work men are employed in fortifying Cuidad Rodrigo, and a division of 3000 men is organising at Zamora. The districts of Segovia and Avila being so near the capital. are pretty tranquil, though alarmed by the guerillas left by the Empecinado ) which increase in numbers.— At Madrid several persons have been arrested and some exiled. The same system prevails in other places go verned by the Army of the Faith. On the 6th at Sara gossa, nine ladies accused of liberalism were arrested; among them is the Marchioness de la Roos. Paris paper! to the MI Inst. have brought us the following Telegraphic Despatch, which had been received at Paris on the 22d " THi mAtot-szNzaAL OF THE ♦!HT IN SPAIN TO TEI MINISTSI of WAIL. " The second corps, after having forced Battistero, to raise the siege of Seguntum, entered Valeacia on the 13th. " The Royalist Chief, Don Ramonehambo, took the Castle of Tortosa on the 12th, and expects to be soon master of the rest of the place." Other accounts state the progress of the army toward, Seville. General Bourmont, seems, had arrived at Ma judos on the 13th, and on the 14th General Bordesoult oc cupied the City of Cordova. It is alleged that the Constitu- Uonal garrison were forced, on the 12th, to quit the latter place, as well as Jaen, and to retire in the direction of Se. vile, in consequence of a popular movement ; but it is more probable they took these steps on the approach of the enemy, in order to join the troops collected in front of the Andalusian capital. In consequence otitis occupation of Valencia by the French, the force under Battistero, may be expected tosarch through Grenada into Andalusia, and may be in time to enter and garrison the Isle of Leon. It is in timated in the Telegraphic Despatch we inserted yesterday, that the French troops, on their arrival at Seville, would immediately move on Cadiz: But, as the Coastitrstionxel observes, it will not easily be conceived how, with only 12,000 men (the collective amount of the divisions under Boarmon t and Bordesoalt), any attempt should be made against such a city as Cadiz, fortified as it is both by nature and art, and rendered still store strong by the numbers and the seal of its population, salmi whom the Spinish Re vo l ut i on h a d i ts birth.—Tbase mars. though they Contain details respecting the motesissiof Woo, present nothing new.

Sroca Excnctroa, 12 o'CLoca.—This being a Hell day, the Benicia closed ; but, the Stock Exchange and Foreign Market remain open. Consols opened It 81f4. at which price they remain steady. Letters from Paris of Sunday state, that some private bargains were done in Spanish Bonds on that day, under 36e but, these letters do not bring any political information. A great dearth of intelligence prevails in the City this morning, and very little business is doing in the Funds. The Public are anxiously waiting the arrival of the Mails from Lis bon, to be informed of the extent of the Revolution in Portugal. FORZIGN FUNDS.—Colombian stock still keeps droop ing, although the statements respecting it require con firmation. Spanish Bonds opened at 32, and went up to 321 i, with scarcely any business transacting. New Spanish, 321—New Prussian, 841—Russias, en— Danish, 891—Neapolitan, 78—Uolowbian, 48. Seamen SUBSCRIPTION.—We perceive the names of some of the friends of freedom in this city among the subscribers to the Spanish cause ; an effort is, we under ' stand, making to establish a local Committee, and when the arrangements are complete, a public meeting will he held. As this cannot be considered a party question, we trust the amount of the local subscription wilt be worthy the raOk which our City holds in the Empire.—(Bristol lisrenr)t) The Doke of San Lorenzo has signified to Mr. Wel tberstone his intention to attend Sir Robert Wilson's an niversary dinner. Lord Erskine has given a similar promise. The Spanish Courier, who brought the despatches from the Regency at Madrid on Wednesday night, ac companied Mr. Williams, the King's Messenger, late on Saturday night to Pees, on his way back to Spain. We understand that a meeting of gentlemen will be held at Dempsey's, Sackville-street, on Monday next, at half-past three o'clock, to consider upon what may be done io this city, by public meeting or otherwise, in aid of the Spaniards.—(Dublin Morning Post.) It is asserted, that the person sent to this country from the new Regency at Madrid, was dismissed from the Foreign-office with a mere receipt for the despatches which he delivered. He also waited on the Spanish Mi nister, Admiral Jabat, to deliver despatches from the Re gency, but was dismissed with a declaration, that Jabat knew of no such body, and could not receive the commu nication which he tendered. A letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 19th after describing the assembling of the Cortes on the 17th, states that the oath taken by the members is contrary to all principles of liberty, inasmuch as it professes entire obedience to the will of the Emperor. The oath is said to have been drawn by the well known Antonio Carlo, one of the late deputies in Lisbon, and brother of Jose Bonifacio. It was intended, under the plea of certain errors and omissions in the journals, to propose to the Brazilian Cortes the establishment of a censorship on the press. By the arrival of the Osborne Packet from the Lee ward Islands, we have received Antigua P a p ers t o th e 28th April. They contain a proclarnation, dated oo the 21st of that month, announcing the appointment of the Hon. Paul Horaford to the office of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, vacant by the death of Judge Atbill ; also of the Hon. William Musgrove, Esq. to be Attorney and Advocate-General ; and of Richard Musgrove, Esq. to be Solicitor and Procurator-General. These Papers are entirely barren of political news. On Saturday se'onight, as Mrs. Tilly, wife of Mr. J. Tilly, publican, of this city, was returning house in a car from Pensford with her eldest son and five children, they Ipd not advanced two miles, when the horse took fright, and set off at a gall 9 : the son leaped out an& endeavoured to stop the furious animal, but his efforts proved unavailing. Mrs. T. dropped two children from behind the vehicle, who escaped with slight bruises ; the other three and herself were harried on regularly through the turnpikes, and the car was not stopped till they cam e to the Saracen's Head, Temple -gate, into which they woe conveyed, considerably bruised and alarmed.— (Bristol ifercury.) COYCNT GARDE:Y.—We have a very serious complaint against Mr. Macready; and though we are sorr y to urg e any thing against a gentleman of his talent, and charac ter—we must say it is barbarous on his part to draw tears from so many fair eyes, and with as little apparent remorse, as the Urand Turk would order a few hundred heads to be taken off. Nay, the man absolutely endea vours to do this, and succeeds so wonderfully in making folks miserable, that one is tempted to ask by what right be thus tyranizes ever our feelings, and changes us into "other creatures than what our nature and the gods designed us." This Virgheiss, last night, was one of the most powerful and affecting performances that we have ever seen. Commend we also the Dentate* of Mr. YAM, and the lovely Virginia of Miss Fbors. ELoentsrer.—On the evening of Thursday, the 12th instant, a young lady, a ward of Chancery, e ossessed of a handsome fortune, and who bad only attained her ft/ teeath year on the Sunday preceding, eloped from a re spectable ladies' seminary, in Swansea, with a Clergy man of the Established Church.—The lady, to elude the vi g ilance of her Governess, pretended to r e ti re t o her room for the night at half-past nine o'clock, and shortly after contrived to escape from the house. About ten the same evening it was found that she was not in her bed, and search was immediately made for her in every di rectioe, but withoot success; it hai, however, been since ascertained, that the fugitives embarked od board of a small vessel, lying in a remote part of Gower, in Glamor ganshire, but whether for Scotland or the Continent, re analog a matter of conjecture.—(Brieto/ Mercury.) Yesterday the infant daughter of Mr. and Lady Louisa Leighton was baptized at their house in Cleveland-row; the Dpke tif Sussex stood sponsor, on which occasion an elegant entertainment was given to a large party of dis tinguished friends. Besides the ruins of Kelso Abbey, those of the magni ficent one of Jedborgh are now undergoing repair, which, it is to be hoped, will long preserve the remains of that splendid edifice from destruction.

He ct' a hearty light supper, went to bed, and started again at twelve o'c;ock. lie performed twenty-six miles in five hours again, as on the first day, without stopping, a short distance from Henley in Arden. He continued at the rate of five miles an hour to three miles past Birmingham (20 other miles), when he halted an hour, and took refreshment and rest. Our info.- Tuition leaves him, at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, travelling two miles on the other side Wolverhampton. Ile proposed reaching 152 miles on Sunday, and go to sloctford Bridge yesterday morning to breakfast.

The pedestrian fell lame on the ninth day. and on the lOth day his legs were swollen to that degree that he could not proceed past the thirty miles. ROWINO EXTRAORDINARY.—On Sunday last, 22.1 inst. the gentlemen of the Albion four oared cutter, rowed from Vauxhall Bridge to the Ahnterdans at Oraresen•l, to breakfast; started again up the river to the Eel-pyo - house, Twiekenhatn,to dinner; from thence down again to Vauxhall Bridge, where they first started to tea, being a distance of 106 miles. The whole was accomplished withic 13 hours. A man, who has been for some time reinarked in Olon cester for his excellent skill on the bugle, was taken from his station at the back of the Traveller coach, on Wednesday. as be was about to quit that city for Bristol, eiarged with desertion from the Derby militia, (td the staff of which he had been attached for about 17 years,) and sent, under a pro per escort, to the head quarters of the regiment now lying at Derby. A gentleman in the vicinity of Southampton had his horse stolen on Monday night. On the Tuesday morning he came I to Salisbury, and, just as be was entering the gate of his inn, the thief arrived with the stolen horse ; he was imme diately taken into custody, and the gentleman rode home on his recovered property. ST. Aninazw's, Jura 18.—Surmise is busied regard ing a visit we last week received from a distinguished bard and novelist, accompanied by several friends, seem ingly hecog. Our gossips, always fertile in conjecture, presume that the once celebrated ecclesiastical metropo lis may afford an ample theme for the prolific pen of the author of Waverley. PERTH.—In the first Division of the Court of Session, a case was recently decided, of some importance to those corporate bodies, here and elsewhere, who stand upon their exclusive privileges. A person named Moodie eulistd in the Royal Perthshire Militia ai a substitute, and three years and six months, during which time the Regi ment was twice in Ireland. He was discharged in 1802; and he soon afterwards claimed the privilege of exercising the trade of a mason within the borough. This was misted by the Wright Incorporation; and the Sheriff of Perthshire at their request, granted an interdict, and found Moodie liable in damages,—applying to his ease the statute 42 Oro. 111. cap. 69, which was not enacted till after he had been discharged. The case was advocated to the Supreme Court; where the Lord Ordinary reversed the Sheriff's judgment.— The Incorporation petitioned the Inner House against On decision; but, on advising the plaVings, the Court alßrmed the judgment complained against,rith the whole costs of suit.
