they could desire would not add a sixpence to their in com►_perhaps for years it would leave them without any at all. Na; Gentlemen, there will he no rebellion—do n•hat You ran, you will not extract Martial Law from the (iov►rnment—for though you may wish it, they do not. Tbongh the Insurrection Act has hitherto failed in Cork and Limerick, it is impossible not to admit, that to a cer tain ex'ent it has succeeded in that I•ith-rto most refrae t.ory county in Ireland, Tipperary. It harisuesteedeal, weed, in every other comity of Monster. with those two exceptions—and thong]) we are not disposed, by any means, to lay the stress on its operation, which its'Atlvo tees choose to do—though we think it will he ultimately "sees•, as to permanrnt tranquillity, we do most r-lnct antly admi►, that while the present state of things conti nue. Government have no other alternative. The People of Enpland,ltowever, or, at least the Press of England imagine that this Country is on the brink of Rebellion. In one of the leading papers. The Morniag. Chroitide, we find the following paragraph The private letters received ells morning from Ireland, are filled with the most gloomy apprehensions for the future security of that most interesting part of the Empire. A general rising of the people was anticipated, and it was fewred that it would prove more formidable than any of the former Efforts, for wretchedness and discontent were at a tearful height amongst them. The success of the French i t Spain increased the religious bigotry of the lower orders of the people, with a part of whom it was even Humoured that the Court of Rome was conducting a private corre sionlence. The affttctions and respect of the Irish must he rainPri. and that quickly, for one thousand bayonets cannot retain the Country in tranquillity, unless something be done to amend the grievances, and to alleviate the miseries under which its inhabitants at present suffer. French bigotry has produced the greatest calamities to the Peninsula, and the tame 1 tolerant principles may find their way into Ireland, end create a furious ant Religious contest forsuperiority.— Surely private interests should give way before the due Ad ministration of justice in this part of the British Empire, and exertions should he made to render the labour of the people produrtive. and to secure to them the enjoyment of the fruits of their industry." The greeter part of this paragraph is trash. it sapposea Volt the upper ranks of the People, or rather of the Catho lics, are delighted with the Bourbons and the invasion of Spain. Nothing can be more contrary to the truth. They I•iolt upon the conduct of the French with disgust, and pray most cordially far their utter nnnihi:ation. With respect to the Court of Rome, who would imagine that a liberal Jour otitis would era tuitously broach such a mischlevoes false hood ? The Court of Rome, or rather the Nee of Rome, is only in correspondence with the Catholic Hierarchy, and, if ttere be any other class of men so spotless in character, so anxious to promote the well-being of their Country, and who have acted so religiously in preaching obedience to the itstituted Authot hies, we should be glad The Chronicle would have the goodness to point them out for our edifica tion. We would only rsfer The Chronicle to Doctor Doyle, the Catho,ic Bishop of Leigh' in's Pas'oral. Rut, indeed, the whole paragraph is a tissue of folly. The disturbances un happily continue, but they are chit fly confined to two Coun ties. But, as to Rebellion, there is no more idea of It here then there is iu the United States of America. THE ETON MUNTEM. The Scholastic Jubilee, known by this title, which has misted from time immemorial, and is celebrated every third year, took place yesterday, with the accustomed so lemnities at this classic spot, and Irmr it not for the 'un f •rtnnate absence of Royalty, the whole would have gone oir with a joyous magnificenre scarcely ever witnessed on any similar occasion. This is a tribute to juvenile talent, whirls forms a remarkable trait in our national charac ter: and it must excite no common share of interest, when one considers that warriors, legislators, and states men, in embryo, were among the actors in this introsing seen!. There has always been a numerous attendance of roblesnen an I gentlemen of fortune, relatives of the Eton scholars; and the number yesterday was greater than, ;tether, was ever witnessed before. During the whole of Sunday and Monday, visitors from London and all parts of the surrounding country continued to arrive at Windsor and Eton. The crowd on Monday evening was so great, that the inns and private lodging-houses were all occupied ; not a decent bed could be had for less than a guinea a night; and many persons were obliged to re. pose upon chairs or sofas. Meanwhile every coach that arrived from London brought a cargo of boxes, filled with the splendid new dresses which were to be worn by tae scholars; with whom study and discip li ne were ea t:rely snopenJed. Their amusements chiefly consisted of :vitae excursions; and in the evening there was a grand towing match, which excited considerable interest. A party of young gentlemen front Oxford, who came to vi sit time a cue of their preparatory studio', where bold ad venturers disdain the limits of their little reign, entered the lists with a party of their former comp anions ; two sisemred fannies started about five o'clock from Eton bridge, one of them manned by the Oxonian., the other b) the Etonians ; and after a sharp contest of three miles sip the titer and back again, the race was won by the lat ter, in the presence of a vast concourse of spectators who acre sexted on each bank. At an early hour yesterday morning, every thing was in a state of preparation for the grant procession to the favoumitr mount. Near 300 young gentlemen, some of neon splendidly attired in scarlet military dresses, with s our& and Field Marshals' hats, and many others in glittei ing silks and turbans and feathered •caps, such as are worn by the heroes in Asiatic Melodramas, were all drawn up in the principal square of the College. Abiut ten o'clock they partook of a sumptuous breakfast set out for them in one of the great rooms. .By this time two military bands arrive 1, and continned playing several 11{1.1t 11 it airs. The square and ell'the avenues leading to time I ()liege were cron deal by persons of all descriptions ; by tar alme greater number, 'however, were biFhly respect able in appearance and elegantly dressed Ihe 'females %rrr by far the mast numerous. All these were in cowl mai mothen until half-past one o'clock ' • soaretparties of them meshing into, and some oat of theColl-ge- and it often happened that the opposing crowds blocked up the gate io sttelkiense bodies that for half an hour at a time mut rest' and egsess became impracticable. A laigr party tit the bglt blistered gentry, who had come down from London for tha.purptne, took advantage of this confusion, and lighted several gent lemen of their purses and watches. This ntifortainate state 4f things was chiefly o •cosiont at by a want of precaution on the pert of the prim tipals of time 1:-Ilege, in not procuring some vigilant police-officers from London, instead of whom, they employed parties of soldiers, who might hes well hare uttesuptell to s•orm the fortress of St...Sehastian, as to defeat the niannmeres of Loudon thieves. About half-past one, all the scholars, healed by the blareschal, Mr. Thackeray, and their Captain, Mr. Bar nard, and preceded by the military hands, were drawn up in the meadow in military array, and proceeded on their march through Slough, ad Monteta. Many hours be tore this, young gentlemen in splendid dresses were sta tioned at al time entrances leading to Etun for the pur pose of coßectint salt. In other words, they stopped every passenger whether on foot or horseback, or in car- , liege', anal made them deposit a sacs of money in their 1 large purses. Bach contributor received a small ticket with the words, Nor pro.lege —rivet Re.r—" Custom for lea—lung live,theArisg ; —and those tickets stuck in the hats of the.men, or in the bosoms of the women, served as pupils against future demands. All persons walking tairou4h theGullege or ti.e vices were aegosted in the same manlier by the salt b , who even kouck ed at every door tp demand. money. The procession to wards Salt-bill wasielipwed by a line of carriages more numerals, than werstaver seen here before. They °emu pied a line of about tap -miles and a half. One-third of them were the betouclies‘and chariot. of Noblemen, awoag which we observed thole pf the Duke of Devon- THE STATESMAN shire and Lord Ilartington: the others belonged for the most part to prieate gentlemen. There were some bun deeds of gentlemen on horseback, and thousands of pe de.trians. Tlderoads atill fields adjacent to Salt•hill were insufficient to c dtrain them. %Viler: the young gentlemen arrived at the destined spot, their Ensign, Mr. Ihmsey, ascended thesnmmit. and there before intent:enable ap- I'Ltuding . Fp^ctators waived and furled his flag in a most dexterous manner. Widen this ceremony was concluded, the young gentlemen immediately repaired to the great len near the Itlount, and partook uf a dinner, which had he-n previodisly prepard for them. Many of them, as usual. in lulled rather more freely in their devotions to the jolly god than was suitable to their tender yeare.— Between six and seven o'clock they marched back to Windsor, and went upon the. Terrace, where ey pl eaded for some time with the bands of music; and finished the revelries of the day by retiring to the College. . A great and general disappoin►ment was experienced in the lamented ahserdce of his Majesty, and the still more lamented cause of that absence. lint the Sovereign was not unmindful of those to whom his liberality had been "%tended on an many former occasions; he sent his. usual purse of 100 guineas; and Mr. Canning—once the most distingnishedl Mumner of this ancient Seminary, was the bearer of it. _ _ _ The diy was nnentnmonlv fine, and rendered doubly gritteftil in consequence of some refreshing showers which had fallen during the preceding night, and early in the morning. It tv,.s the general feeling of all the visitors, that a more delightful Montem had never before occurred. Mr. Barnard, the Captain oldie Scholars, will receive all the money that hes been collected, end is immediately t enter the University upon the foundation. The, grand father of this young gentleman was once Provost of Etun College. SILK TR .1)E. A general and crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Christ Church, Spitalfields, took place yesterday in the spacious vestry room of the parish church, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of opposing 111.: Bill now in progress through Parliament, for repealing the existing law relative to the wages of those engaged in the manufacture of silk. . . By eleven o'clock the vestry room was filled to inconveni ence by certainly one of the most respectable and orderly classes of operative mechanics in the metropolis. when Mr. WILLIAM GALE (a treutleman well ';sown for his se-. tive and useful exertions in the promotion of the best inte rests of ►he weevers) being called to the Chair, a series of Resolutlotm were moved,secanded, and carried unanimously, in furtherance of the object of the meetine. A petition to both !looses of Parliament (of which we sub join a copy) having been then reed and agreed to, was sign ed by those present. To the Honour able the Commons of the United Kingilam of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament asset': Th • fumble petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the Parish of Christ Church, Spitalfields. Sheweth :—That your petitioners view with great anxiety the measures now pending in Parliament for the repeal of the Act of 13 Geo. 111. c. for reguLiting the wears of Journeymen Silk Manufacturers. That it appears to your petitioners that the Act in ques tion is found-d on the sto iet principles of justice, whereby the journeyman is secured the fair and just value of his la bour, and during a period of SO years that have elapsed since the passing of the Att,the numerous population of this neigh bourhood,whieli consists principally of journeymen weavers, hate advanced considerably in moral improseinent. That duriug the period alluded to the master has in no instance experienced the baneful effects arisiter from illegal combina tion, and the journeymen has felt secure in the enjoyment of the fruits of his industry. That the Act occasions no impediment to the ap;liestion of the use of machinery, it being well known to every per son acquainted with the silk trismulleture of London and Its vicinity, that the use of machinery has never been so exten sively applied in this district vs at tnespresent time ; and by no means establishes a fixed prig fir bbour, as the rate of wages may be altered fru:u time to time, ne - mr,ling to circumstances. . . That It is the opinion of your petitioners that the mode of regulating the rate of wages of journeymen weavers has proved, from long experience, to be wise and good ; and that a national benefit woMil result from a general adoption of its principles in the silk manufacture throughout the king dom. That your petitioners cannot conceal their apprcl.ensios that, if the proposed repeal shall take place, tar (line will come when the journeymen weavers of this neiulibourhood will experience the same redaction in the price of wa(cs that has taken placa at Coventry and other places and, in short, that the journeymen will be obliged to eke out a tniszrable existence from the poor rates. That many of the master manufacturers have removed from this neighbourhood into the City, lensing their jour. neytnris still resident here; those masters tarrefore will re ceive all the advantage of the poor man's labour, and this parish milt have to contribute to his maintenance. The evils therefore that your petitioners anticipate are, an alarming increase of p..uperism, and its usual demoraliz ing effects atnongst a class of society.whose unexclationable conduct and demeanor deserve the kind attention of those around them. Your pet iiinaers theretoe humbly pray your Honourable !base, that the Ilia now pending in Parliament for the re peal or the above-mentioned Act may not be allowed to pass into a law. And )our re itioners, as In duty bound, will ever pray, &c. Psntan or DROADWATZR.—Stat«ment, shewing the amount of expenditure on account of the pour, progripia of population, a.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1823. The House of Conrnons will meet this evening ; and see shall, from time to time, resume our Commentary on the important proceedings of the, as well as the other House of Parliaruest. But when we say important pro csedings, we mean those in which the public at large have really an interest, and not those which are brought forward to indulge personal feelings, or gratify the desires, of a Faction ; no matter to us whether that faction be in, or out of power. For example; there are two m tions expected for this evening; one to be made by Mr. Sykes, for the repeal of the duty on candles ; the other, a loud and sounding Motion to be made by Sir James Macin tosh for softening the Criminal Code. To the first we shall direct our attention ; for it relates to the repeal of a Tax; an 1 what may be said on this subject, will be really seri.its and important. 'f he other is to enrage what is called a act debate; or, in other words., a Hum bug- ; and our readers, and the public, will be humbug ged, if they be induced to give it the least notice. iire can tell our readers what will be the course. Sir James Macintosh will mike a long, a very long, speech about this softening of the criminal code; but, (and we beg our Readers to mark it well), he will take care to say very clearly, or leave very clearly to be inferred, that by " criminal code," he does not mean Six .lets. He does not mean to condemn the laws respecting " political offences" as he calls them. No, No. This he declared in good round terms on a farm. r occasion. He sees no objection to the laws which authorize the infliction of BANISHMENT upon seditious libellers; which abridge the right and almost destroy the power of peti tioning. lie wishes to soften the punishmert upon housebreakers and forgers ; but he cares not a farthing for the effect of Six Acts. In that, lie will do nothing to commit himself or kis party ; and it is our firsts cons ic lion that if the Whigs (as they are facetiously called) were to get into p.lwer immediately, they won's' not Imo pose the rrreal of any one of the said Six Acts. This motion is to be mere!) a political juggle; and every one who is ever so remotely acquainted with par liamentary tactics, is fully aware of this circumstance. Ministers care not a single farthing, as Ministers, for the !notion ; and indeed why should they? If the punishment of lasuaehreakers and forgers is really too severe, and is rosily impolitic and unnecessary, as Sir James will say, andaltnost asecar that it is, what possible interest can Mi nisters Imes in wishing to continue that punishment ; for they have no more dislike, or particular hatred to house breakers and forgers, than Sir James has himself ? No one knows this better than the lawyer. But then, the motion will gain him popularity among the canting and the unthinking, and particularly among the quaker:; these very men who, while they pretend to he full of hu manity and clemency, are actually endeavouring to ob tain a law to autisorze the conviction of torn in cases of life and death, upon their bare affirmation. In short, the whole affair is a trick; and it shall not be our fault if the public do not understand it to be so. The motion which Sir James Macintosh will make this evening, will give no (fence to any one; and this, too, is Kell known ley Sir James. Let him stand up, and clearly, distinctly, and seriously, move for the Repeal of any one of that Collection of the Statutes, called Six Arts; and then, and not till then, shall we believe him to be se- r:o is. In the mean time, we repeat that the subject., for this evehing, upon which the public should really fix their attention is that relative to the proposed Itaral of a Tax. It is here that 11/inisters will be really pinched. Here they will be serious, and will count every vote with the greatest anxiety. The motion of Mr. s)k.-s, is for the Repeal of a fax. Oa that account, and that ;dorm it is des• ruing of attention ; and, whatever may be the result, Mr. Sykes will be entitled to the thanks of the country for his endeavours. We feel a Nausea at returning to the farcical, humbug. ging motion of Sir James Macintosh, though we say again, and foe the last time, that Ministers care not one bran farthing about it; any more than we do ourselves. IVe have this morning received Bayonne papers to the 14 h instant. They mention a mini.% that had been circulated, by a ComtM.ssary of Police there, of Mina having been abandoced by his soldiers on the eve of a battle io w hich be was forced to engage, and delivered to the French tr. ots. Notwithstanding the confidence l‘ith which this was related, it is observed, that thestory met %in no credh, and sceptics would i ns i nuate that it was merely a piece of poliry to throw a ve il over some intelligence of a less welcome descriptio n . I t was gen. - rally believed, that there hid been some ac ti on b etwe.n Mina and Marshal Moacey, though they were ignou nt of the regal'. It hal been reported in the army of Marshal Monet..., that General Monitor was coming to join it, an d t i nt on the way lie bad defeated General Bal'uterus, and taken from him 5,90 prisoners. But it seems certain that Ballastrros, far from having been drfeatel , i. of all the Spanish Generals the one f:ons whom the must is to be apprehended, because he has no fired position, an.l may suddenly appear at a point in which it would h e easy for him to do muck injnry ; this has induced General Mollitor to move upon Piocia, by which he ha s in some measure cut one corps in two. There is no news from Pampelnna, to besiexe no steps whatever are taken. It is the same wits St. S 4: bastian, the garrison of which makes frequent sallies, which always cost some killed and wounded. The place continues to increase its stock of provision% so that it will be able to bold out a long time when it is regu• larly besieged. The mail from Madrid which arrived, just before the ar counts were published, brought absolutely nothing new— the letters are of the 7111 4 they speak of the tranquillity of the capital arisi chiefly from the absence of almost the whole of the respectable part of the population. The news from Catalonia says, that Mina, after qni - ting Visit and Olot retired in the direction of Barcelon a: that he was not attacked, and only his rear exch inged a few musket shuts ; it was supposed to be his intention of joining the corps of General Ballasteros. Paris papers to the 20:11instant have arrived, with the fogowin; TE LEG RAPIIIC DESPATCH PARIS, MAY 19. COPY OF A DESPATCH FROM ADANDA. " On the 15th the head-quarters of his Royal Highness arrived here. General Obert is to-day at Alin izan, and to morrow will be at Signenza. lie is perfectly well recrise4 everywhere; he communicates with Rossieres, who has taken two hundred men, two hundred muskets, and four pieces of cannon from Rall , steros, who is retiring towards Valencia ; he ►oses considerably by desertion. " Marshal Oudinot was on the 11th at Valladolid, where he was received, if possible, with more lively enthusiasm than in any other pace. Tao vanguard has proceeded to wards the Doero. " Intercepted letters and various reports announce front all quarters the weakness of the Constitutionalists, and Vie good spirit of the Royalists in the Provinces." By this despatch we find the Duke d'Angoulerse had made another step towards Madrid, but to his movements little importance is attached, for let him reach, when he may, the end of his march, his arrival will have little effi cacy in putting an end to the contest. The movement of Obert is of somewhat greater consegnence, as it has fur. Dished occasion to mention Dessieres, for the first time since the entrance of the French army ioto Spain. The position stated to had been taken by Ondinot at VaHark. lid has probably hem chosen to guard against the woe:- menu; of the combined Portuguese and Spanish forces under Rego and Morillo. In no lung time these points may be highly interesting ; hut at present none we have hitherto noticed excite the interest felt in the relative po sitions of Moncey and 31ina. On the 10th inst. according to the Paris papers of Saturday, d'Eroles had intituatcd to the former that he bad announced to the Count Curial and General Donnadiea his opinion, to harass Mini until he should be totally destroyed; and he assured Mousy that if he and they vigorously pursued the Consti tutional General during eight rl Is, the want of ammunition and provis!ons would cause his de atruct!on. Tire Journal des Debuts of Sunday, con tains a statement under the head of " News from the Army" which is dated Gerona, and comes down to th , 14th instant ; but thong!' half of the time had dared which d'Erules had al:as:ire I for Mina's destrucrioc, the ads ices only announce that nothing was really linawn of Slimes movements, except that on the Pt!, Ire hart approached Cordora. It is evident, therefore, that he cisnnot be so closely followed up, as had been represented; for if either Eroles or Curial were within a Ila)'s march of rtn, the direction of his march would he ascertained anti in fact the maitre of his plans. therefore, that the pursuit has been literally given up, or, that having beaten his pursuera, that bold and skilful chieftain is ow ranging free over the con ntry, and raising the people in every mountavt district against the invaders. The other contain kite's from Per pignan and Bayonne, the details given in which con firm what has been stated rtsi ecting the success of Mina's operations. One letter from Perpignan soya— " A considerable convoy of provisions which had left Prats de Mollo has received counter-orders. IVe know not whether the enemy has advanced upon Oiot, or in tends to make some attempt on our frontiers, which are now quite unprotected in consequence of the smith* departure flow St. Laurent de Cerdans of the 3d batta lion of the IS' h of the Line, which setont last nig'tt (ths 10th) in all haste fur Olot." T he communications of General Donnadieu with the French frontier ar acknos• !edged to be completely cut off by the dexterous movement of Mina. The prefect of Perpignan has addressed a circular to the Mayors and Sub• Prefects of his department, on the subject of the " alarming news," and the " false reports," by which he says malevolence endeavour to mislead public opinion. It is rather sin gular that the French Government should, antinst all the success of which it boosts, be so afraid of alarming news. Are the false reports believed in preference to the bulletins ?
