TROY THS PARIS PAPIIIIS or' THIS HORNING. M. Juan de Erro, Minister of Finance of the Regency established at Madrid, writes to S. ()straggle, banker, at Paris, as follows : Hering omitted In my last, of the 30th alt., to icrforin you that-all the hypothegues which guarantee the Loan made by the Cortes, will be appropriated to that which is going to be raised by the Government, 1 beg of you to mate it known on 'Change,because all the debts contracted by the pretended Con siltutlottal s Government bare been declared null android. PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY. The second reeding of the Bill to repeal the Spite!fields Acts, is fixed by the House of Lords for Friday. We have said much steady upon the subject ; but it is one of so much importance, as it may one day affect the peace of the metro. polls, that while there Is the barest chance of preventing the measure from passing into a law, we should fail in our duty If we did not oppose it to the utmost. We therefore call most earnestly, the attention of our legislators to the follow' leg remarks, from a recently published work, upon the mis chief sustained by the labourer by the various laws against be necessitous : "The law protects the masters against the journeymen: This is most vicious—the law, if it interfered, should support the weak against the strong; therefore it should defend journeymen against masters. Yet this is neither agreeable to English law nor English equity; for we scarcely find an Intimation in favour of the working classes, except the 2d and 3d of Philip and Mary, which begins—''Whereas the rich clothiers do oppress the poor weavers,' &c.: and then the clothiers an ordered to pay them so much a year. A few other laws may be added, as that men are to be paid in money, and not in goods —that children shall not be worked at night, Ike., which shows a good, but in my mind a meddling disposition. With such paltry exceptions, the whole cods tends to confirm the strong in their strength, and to cripple the enfeebled. " The reign of George the Illd, multiplied vexations tent this kind. In 1768, a great want of provisions compelled the labouring population to demand increased wages; yet they were foiled by the law, and the magistracy. Many penal laws have been enacted against the poor combining to raise their wages ; but nose against combi nations to depress wages, though every rich man is in himself a combination. In 1810, the journeymen print ers of the Times newspaper were convicted of a cowl 'piracy, and sentenced to two years' impritonment is Rewrite. Thus, lately, Justice Bailey said that ' cos. Oblation was worse than many -kinds of felony.' And Baron Wood, in passing sentence on James Wood, de. dared that ' conspiracies were very mischievous; and, if they were allowed,there would be no commerce.' Cambia. lag either way is merely a contest between wagesandra fita,t The rich and strong are the employers, vb. new Oder that low wages are their gain ; and the legisla— tors and magistracy join the strong. Thus Government trickles to underling tradesmen, and the bondman has 'changed his name, and not his condition: Rich wenn • "'ways command the Poor titan's work--the poor man Mkt eat, and his wages are his means of living." Or**ere be any truth in these remarks, surely it is too Ansi to take away any advantages enjoyed by e the weavers if Spitalfields ; when those advantages have bees a hundred .fold repaid to society, by the peace, content; and good Order, which have resulted from them io kalety. Sir Gerard Nod appeared in the Hoke of CoMmons last night as the Chaiploo of Olive, Princess of Cumberland. The grounds he took were:—" Either prdve her antelopes'. " jar, or attend to her claims." Mr. Secretary Peel went into some assertions which appear to destroy all hoe.preten doss; bat it was a very ill:judged procedure to pretes t her from being hoard in the Courts. The Irish Trite Bill. mbaectlated of the only import ant proviso, that of compelling the Clergy to accept a fair commutation, continues to drag its dew and useless Length Over the.table of the House. As it can do no good, we are only anitioas that it should be refeoted alto gether. LeM Nugent's Bill In tardier df the English Amelia Ci tholice was read proforese, a second din t—bot there can hs as hope Of its passing the ordeal of the Ministerial bench, dace the redottbtable Champions of Corfe Castle, Mr. Betakes and his son, declared their deterMination to op- Pee it with all their Night. Mr. Peel and Mr. Wethe rell also declared they shoed be found decidedly against permitting the Bill to pass ; so that Lord Magma must make up his mind to hays the Bill " licked" In the Com. WMe to the Ministerial standard of beauty, or it will be certain to be dismissed as altogether ineapedieot and unsafe: Mr. James, the independent Menhir for Carlisle, startled the Honourable House a little last night, by natio, that be should today present a petition from Newcastle upon Tyne, against stavery—not the black slavery of which so much bad already been heard, but against white slavery! " Order I Order exclaimed the Honourable House! Aod with great reason, for if white slavery were abolished, there may be men in that House who would not think the loss of their caiiies any compensation for the loss of the profits of wearing them. Necessity, it is said, brings a man acquainted with Strange bed-fellows; and habit as assuredly reconciles him to strange customs, and many of oar groat men SING fiend slavery sos pleasant, that they have not even 1$ however fine their fetters, or esisheisig they wore only slaves with tins (su , . is, at boot. THE STA' A Spanish Cabinet Messenger arrived last night in I c on don. He was dispatched by the Mock Regency at Madrid to •Mr. Canning, and we know that the letters which h brings for the British Government, dated the Bth last:sat are for the purpose of requestiag that England will ache**. ledge the Regency, according to the example given by the Courts of Austria Prussia, and Russia, together with their underlings of Naples, Sardinia, and " ifi genes mane." Now, then, it is to be seen whether Mr. Canning will lay the honour of England prostrate at the feet of a French General and his traiterous associates, the Spanish Regener. We shall see whether our neutrality is astonest as Mr. Canning boasted, not two months ago. Neutrality commands that the messenger should be immediately sent back with a pe remptory declaration, that England cannot consider the French-Spanish Regency in any other light than as a parcel of traitors against their King and country. (Morniagpaper.) The farthest point yet attained by Bordesoult Is Baylen, about half-way, or 150 miles from Seville. If the time which he had spent in the first part of his march be a fair criterion of that which the second will occupy, instead of reaching the Andalusian capital, on the 20th inst., as it had been announced, Bordesoult, even supposing him to meet with no greater interruptions than he has yet done, will not approach it before the second week in July. Meanwhile the example of Mina, which has already roused Ballwin)* from his lethargy, will have exerted the same beneficial in fluence over the rest of the Spanish Chiefs. On seeing how much this gallant and active Commander has effected against forces five times greater than his whole collected army, they will know what It is in their power to do against the com mon enemy, and they will do it. The Allgemeine Zeitung says, notwithstanding appear ances, the new Ministry at Seville is labouring hard to effect a reconciliation with France, in which they are very essen tially aided by Sir William A'Court, the British Ambassa dor. Even quite lately, it is added, Sir Charles Stuart gave assurance to the French King, at Paris, that great hopes were entertained of the negociatioas at Seville terminating favourably. The King is now so well as to be able to ride on horseback. His Majesty was accompanied on Monday by Lord Cleaves, the Marchioness and Lady Elizabeth Conyngham. He rode upwards of three hours, and re turned in his favourite little phaeton. The Duke of Cumberland returned to town at a late hour on Tuesday night, from a visit to the King at Windsor. The visits to his Royal Highness yesterday were again very numerous. Yesterday being the anniversary of the battle of Wa• terloo, the Duke of Wellington gave his annual grand dinner at his house in Piccadilly, to the General Officers engaged in that victorious event. The different ser vices of plate and china presented to the Noble Duke upon the occasion were used. The band of the Royal Artillery, in full uniform, attended, and played during the evening. The Marquess of Lonionderry is returned from Vienna, last from Paris. During his Lordship's short residence at the !atter place he lost his Star of the Or der of the Bath, and all the exertions of the Police to make any discovery respecting it bare hitherto proved in vain. The Journal de Paris had mentioned, some days ago, that Lady Burke, Lady Oxford, and Mrs. Hutchinson, had received an order from the Police to leave Paris as soon as possible. As a sequel - to this intelligence, one of the Paris papers received yesterday says, "We are as eared that the revocation of the order for the dismissal of the Countess of Bourke from Paris, was applied for by the Foreign Ambassadors, and that they obtained from the French Minister its indefinite suspen•ion. As to the Countess of Oxford. and Mrs. Hutchinson, the decision is adhered to, notwithstanding the represent*. lions of the Ambassador of England ; and these two ladies are to leave France immediately." What offence the ladies have committed is not atatedj The Royal Literary Society held its first general meet. ing on Tuesday, and was numerously attended: A pa. per was read, which gave a general view of the objects of the Society, and a Council and Officers were appoint ed for the ensuing year. The Bishop of St. David's is President, and among the Vice-Presidents are the Lord Chief Justice and Sir James Maeintosb. Yesterday morning, vast numbers of persons bared to Hyde-park, expecting that the Guards would be re viewed in commemoration of the glorious Battle of Wa terloo ; but after waiting till past ten o'clock, they were oblige to return home, it having been understood the announcement of the review was only a hoax. The Guards on duty in St. James's were drawn op as usual on the parade at the Horse Guards, and they had a fine military appearance; such as had been at the Battle of Waterloo were distinguished by wearing sprigs of laurel in their caps. After having gone through the usual evolutions, they were marched off the ground in divisions to mount guard in the places for which they are destined. It is un derstood that on or about the 24th inst. previously to their annual change of quarters, the Foot Guards will be re viewed by his Royal Highness the Duke' of York, the Duke of Wellington, and other distinguished Field Of ficers. It is also said that the Life Guards are to be re viewed about the same time on Hounslow Heath, when several of the Royal Family are to attend. Tits LINEN TRADE AT BARNSLEY.—SiIIet we last adverted to the deplorable state to which this staple trade has been reduced, in consequence of the obstinate and unrelaxed contest between the masters and workmen, re lative to the abolishment of feats, we learn from autho rity that upwards of 14,00 weavers have taken their de parture. the majority of whom are now in Lancashire; about 400 have found employment in Rnaresborough, the trade and property of which this misunderstanding has materially promoted. Two hundrrd have procured work at Newark, and some have gone into Scotland. There remain about one thousand in the neighbourhood; prim: cipally with families, or otherwise restricted by domestic and other ties from pursuing their avocations oo a morn genial soil, who are actually . suffering under the most acute privations rather than yield to what they consider a despotic confederacy, or surrender what, in their esti mation, is a custom equal to. an hereditary tight, and . which no organised combination shall userp from them, In consequence of so many, peratives having struck, the publicans, retail tradesmen, &.c. in the town, are under the most alarming apprehensions, from the great defal cations they have experienced in their returns for the past six weeks, poverty having, pervaded id such an ex tent the unemployed, who are deprived of the benefit of parochial aid.—(Sheffield Iredepadent.) New Cinema Gazenwicn.—The ceremony of laying the fi rst stose oeSt. Mary's Church took place on Tuesday, by the hands of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Matilda. The fineness of the day drew together an immense assemblage of persons of the first respectability. The place in which Me Lburch is building is on the north side of Greenwich Park, taking in a portion of the Park as well as the ground behind the College School. The eerembny of laying the first stone of the new Church in the Waterloo Road, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, will take place on Monday,the 30th inst. ANOTRIR VAN OVIRTURNED.—This morning; about one o'clock, the Bristol Van, we are informed, upset in its passage through Slough.. The occasion of this accident, we hear, is supposed to be, " not the bad state of the pavement," but the weight of the lading as the wheels were crushed. We have not learnt bow the dri ver escaped; but we are concerned to add that the guard was understood to have been seriouslyllisared. MOST DREADFUL Accinutter.---On Tuesday last, as one of the Baggage Waggons of the First Life Guards, was coming from Windsor to London, the Taylor-Major of the regiment, on going to alight, stepped on a box„ w hi c h fell with him under the bind wheel of the wag gon, and the wheel passed directly over his fate and chest. He now lies at the village of Upton, near Slough s in a very dangerous state. .- THEATRICALS. Harmanecam—An amusing trifle, almost too light to he called a farce, was performed here for the first time last night, called, " Mrs. Smith ; or Me Wile and Wi dow.' The story is simple, though the parties are sadly perplexed about it. M rs . S m ith, th e w if e o f M r . S m ith, who, for distinction's sake, may be called the Jealous, is in possession of a p ar t men t s i e a b oar di ng -h ouse . Irs. Smith, the widow of a Mr. Smith, takes apartments in the same house; and a young spark who is about to be seduced intomatrimony with the widow, is mistaken by the jealous Mr. Smith, as paying his attentioos to his wife; who, fortunately, for the furtheranceof the busi ness, has before met and danced with the gallant at a ball; in consequence of Mr. Smith, the jealous, not having had a dancing education a hint, by the way, for all husbands having handsome wives, either to learn to dance with them, or not take them to balls. The husband and the lover meet ; words run high between them, and a challenge is given. The husband retires; and the widow Smith entering, an amusing jealous scene ensues; the lover taking it for granted that his supposed rival is really encouraged by the widow Smith. Both the ladies expect the arrival of an uncle: but only the uncle of the widow Smith ac tually arrives • and, unfortunately be encounters the jealous Mr. arrives; who, speaking of his own wife, complains bitterly of her conduct, and enrages the un cles against her want of feeling, and fatal Inconstancy. The uncle enters warmly into his feelings, and promises to become his second in the duel. An interview then takes place between the widow Smith and her uncle, who heaps upon her the charges of the jealous Mrs. Smith. The finale is brought about by a dispute respecting the presence of Mts. Smith, who is as serted by her husband to have been refusing to come to her 'nide, while the uncle insists that he has seen bee.— This produces the two Mrs. Smiths, and the matter is ex plained. The language is easy, and pointed. A remark of LISTON, in his complaint of his fashionable dress, that he" looked as if he had gone naked to the Congress of Verona, and that' every Ambassador hid thrown some thing at him—for he bad a Russian coat, French waist coat, Hessian boots, Cossack trowsers, and a Dutch hat" —produced much laughter. LISTON was the husband, and Virrixo the lover ; Mrs. ORGIR the wife, and Mrs. CiIATTERLIT the mistress; Wm/tails was the uncle; and the author owes them all his thanks for their success. ful exertions in his behalf. We forgot to add oar thank, thSt the piece is a short one. The certain fell conside rably before twelve o'clock. A new singer appears this evening in The Marriage of Figaro.

VAUXHALL—A grand military fete took place at these Gardens last night, in celebration of the anniversary of I lthe Bade of Waterloo. A more than usual display of brilliancy was exhibited upon thit occasion, the effect of 10,000 additional variegated lamps, arranged in va rious appropriate devices. The music, during the even ing, was principally martial; and 1 songs and glees were sung, which were composed expressly for the night. Besides the numerous sources of entertain. meet prepared on ordinary nights, there was a handsome piece of mechanism displayed, allegorically representing the Sun of Britain's Glory irradiating the Duke of Wel. lington's various scenes of victory. Its effect was very fine. The ballet, however, seemed to constitute the principal attraction. The piece was Cinderella, and was perform ed by the juvenile corps, in a style not often surpassed at the prinepal theatres. The fireworks were unusually splendid; and Mr. Blackmore, when half way up the rope, in the midst of them, stood for some time on his bead—a feat, the difficulty of which cannot well be ims. glued. The Gardens, upon the whole, displayed an ex tremely interesting and delightful appearance. ' SPITALVIRLDS* ACTS.—Yesterday the Lords' Committee assembled in the Old House of Lords on the Silk &tamale -I terers Bill, to relies' those regulations called the " Spital kids Acts." There were only seven or eight Lords present, -birds Auckland, Eilenborough, Bexley, &c., possibly owing to their Lordships meeting earlier than was generally itpectad they met and proceeded to business at twelve o'clock. Lord Bexley was called to the Chair, Lord Liver pool being unable to atteod. Mr. Harrison, Sm. attended as Counsel for the Bill; and Mr. Adam and Mr. Wild, appeared on behalf of theiourniiy den Silk Weavers against the Bill. The Counsel against the Bill applied for some time to bring fOrward their witnesses, as according to the Standing Or ders, eddbnce bias not received until i Bill bad been read second time and referred tO a Committee. This Bill had no }eon read a second time, therefore they did not expect to be . called upon for evidence in the present stage of the prooeedlet. They desired that the business might be post poned till this diy week. The Lords, after some consultation, agreed to report to the House that it was expedient to receive evidence after the Bill had been read a second time; after which the Lords' Committee agreed to adjourn to Wednesday nett at noon, 'when Counsel and witnesses were desired to attend. Lord Lauderdale appeared in the Committee when this I report bed been agreed epon ; so that it was too late to remind their Lordships that the Standing Orders had been waived so as to admit evidence on the Bill previously to its second reading. There were again a good many Weavers In attendance ; but the Streets were not so crowded with them as on former occasions. Besides Cornmittees and Deputations, it was understood that there were forty witnesses in attendance, had their Lordships persisted in calling evidence. Committee adjourned at half-past one o'clock. Eft/J.6 FROM Tax 801101101 COMPTIER.—WiIIi4M Mason, one of the prisoners committed to the Borough Compton., on suspicion of robbing the Cranbrook waggon on St. Margaret's-hill, of Country Bank notes to the amount of 1,0381-, and Whose attempt to eseepe by boring through the prison wall in concert with his coefederate Henry Walsh, about a fortnight since, was noticed in ill the papers, effected his escape yesterday afternoon about four o'clock, by selling the outward wall by the means of a water-sprint, and throwing himself down nearly sixty feet on the other side, and made clear off. Yesterday a detainer was lodged against him at the 'Cost Hall, on oath; of his having been tried at the Old Bailey in September 1816, for feloniously stealing in a dweilimphouse, and sentenced to death under the names of William Mason alias Morgan, which 'intense was afterwards changed to transportation for. life.

JOHN COLES WARREN THE BEACON NEWSPAPER. Yesterday there was an appeal before the House of Lords that excited a good deal of curiosity, cosinest , it with the Beacon Scotch newspaper, and the bond given by Sir W. Rae, the Lord Advocate, Mr. Hope, Sir W. Scott, &c. to support such Journal on certain terms and with specified subscriptions. It will be recollected that a gentleman named Gibson brought an action against sat:- Jerson and Craig, the printers of the Beacon, to rec ryer compensation in damages for a libel on him that had, ap peared in such newspaper. Mr. Gibson afterwards spit bisection, on account of some formalities, and went into the Scotch Jury Court against Sanderson, the printer, and obtained a verdict—Damages, 5001. Mr. Gibs to then commended his action against the bondsmen, Sir W. Kyr, &c. as publishers and proprietors of the Beacon, and that action is the ground of this appeal. Sir W. Rae and the other defendants resisted the proceeding before the Lords of Session ; but such resistance was ineffectual, and the Lords of Session seat the case to the Scotch Jury Court, where the defendants were called upon to put in thrir answers. In this stage of the busin 'as, Sir W. Rse ap pealed to the House of Lords to stay further proceedine Mr. Gibson having already obtained a verdict of SOU: , and having thus procured redress for his wrung. Tlhr ATToftwev-Gsrseaat. supported the appeal, quot ing the 55th and 59th of George li L, Acts for et-maid, and regulating the Scotch Jury Court, to show that there was the power of appeal. In this case Mr. Gibson had obtained redress ; be had appealed to a Jury ; he had ob tained a verdict for 5001. ; and he now sought to pro ceed against other parties to receive redress fur that wrong which a Jury bad already remedied. Mr. Snowmen spoke strongly against the appeal. He did not deny that the Acts which had been quoted, gave the power of ultimately appealing against the decisions of the ScotchJary Court to the House of Lords ; but denied that the Acts gage the power of appealing on a case in its pro gress to theJery. Objections of form had been oscrruled by the Lords of Session. There had been no verdict, and it was on a verdict only that there could at last be an appeal. The ease was of vast importance. It was entirely novel i a its nature; and if it sacceeded, a most dangerous power would be given to those who desired to delay or intercept justice. • The LORD CRANCILLOR said that the ease was of so mach importance that he would take time to consider it ; but he should be prepared to give his judgment on Fri day next. Lords' judgment postponed till Friday accordingly. sm IHE LAN D. DREADFUL AFFAIR AT MAGRERA. (From the Dublin Morning Post of Tuesday.) We have this day to lay before the public, an sccovt of one of these horrible scenes of blood, which are of pe riodical recurrence in this miserable country. On the fair 'day of Migbera, in the county of Londonuerry, (we be lieve it was Saturday,) some of the Orange Yeomen of that district quarrelled with the people at the fair: it has not been stated to as which party was in fault. The Yeomen being fewer in number than their assailants, retreated td the barrack, in the town, where some regular troops were quartered. • The Commanding Officer refused to admit the Yeomen into the Barrack; but had the men called out to afford them protection; The crowd in the meen time preseed forward, and assailed the military as well as the Yeomen, with a volley of stones, which hurt some of the soldiers, and the Commanding ORcer himself was straek,it is stated—be, however, prevented the men from tiring, until every effort proved unavailing. At length, the Yeomanry having been furnished with fire-arms from the barrack, the orders to fire were given, when 1 vollles were fired amongst the curers!. The carnage and confusion that ensued need not bt described. The crowd having taken to flight, were followed by the Yeewien and Military, and some of the houses entered and sacked in the wadi. The numbers killed and wounded are variously stated—hom 8 to 12 are said to have been killed, and from 40 to 80 Wounded. The streets were covered with blood. This shoe/dog affair isnot& matter upon which we are posed to make any comment until we shall have frill and au thentic particulars. a:4omm! ACCOUNT. The foregoing is the substance of 1 private letters which wit have seem One other letter differs as to an im portant fact. fa that letter it is stated that the Yeomanry, followed by the crowd,acteally entered the barrack by fore% and supplied themselves with arms, and a quantity of batF cartridge, belonging to the moldier!. Ste HARCOURT Liz's CANNON.—The Cannon which Sir H. Lee alleged, in his Address to the Orangemen, t i have been in possession of the insurgents of Ireland, turn out to have been two old ship guns, which belonged to a vessel wrecked some time ago near Kinsale, and which the persons who lately discovered in the water, had with great difficulty raised, and were carrying in a cart to Cork, to • sell as old iron, (the pieces being hooey. eansbed and useless,) when the tart broke down. and the appestat:cis of the cannon, made some blundering or cunning Orangemen in the neighbourhood, believe or affect to believe that the pieces (which, together, were not worth a single blunderbuss), must have been raised for the purpose of rebellion. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—At the Meeting of the Ca tholic Association in Dublin, on Saturday lest, Mr, Porde moved as an Amendment on Mr. O'Connell's proposi tion respecting the eligibility of Catholic Clergymen as Members, without payment. that they should be admitted as visitors to the rooms of the Association without the annual subscription necessary to constitute a member of it. Mr. She'll seconded the Amendment. Mr. O'Con nell, Mr. Costello, and Mr. Lanigan, opposed it. After some discussion on the 'subject, the amer , iment was put and negatived. The original resolution was then car ried, after which the Meeting adjourned to Thursday. The Barony of Clontisk, in the King's County, and the Barony of Ballinacor, in the County of Wicklow, are by Proclamation issued from Dublin Castle on Wednesday, placed under the Insarreetlon Act.
