P .. i"T" ~~ SPITALFIELDS' ACTS. 1N,., The debate on the third reading of the Silk Manufac tnrers' Bill, to repeal the " Spitalfields' Acts," was re sumed yesterday, in the House of Lords, as *ill be seen a by our Parliamentary Report ; and' it was read a third time and passed ; but with so many " amendments" that very few words of the original Bill remain. Besides striking out more than two-thirds of the Bill sacces • 07.1110 n, iftei the title and preamble, both of which are al tered, there are several sentences and words reiecte4 ; ' ,-,And then these are three entirely new clauses. They are . to enable the masters to employ men out of the district, &c. Thus the Bill assumes a completelynew complexion, • and though the Bill on being returned to the House of Commons this day, will tonic to have the " amendments" 'adopted, those amendments are so numerous, as may be imagined from the previous statement, that to discuss them will be to re-open the debate on the whole Bill.— All the present Bill, in fact, consists of " amendments" . made by theLorde ; and we may repeat, what we stated a day or two ago for the information of the thousands interested in this measure, that the Commons, on the Bill going back to them, may discuss the " amendavents."— The tirst and second reading of them may he dispos ed of at enc sitting ; they are not required to be pre poised on different days like the different " itages" of I Bill. The crowds assembled round the House were about as nnmerons as on any former occasion; and they conduct ed themselves with their accustomed regularity: They dispersed rapidly. hat not very contentedly on learning th,tt the Bill had been read a third time ; but they have hopes that the amendments will occasion such delay in the Cotnmons, as to compel the Parliament, at all events to postpone the Bill till the next Session, as the period for the prorogation is so nearly arrived. PARIS PAPERS. (FROM VIZ JOITRNiI. DRS MOATS.) PARIS, JULY 15 INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN. liesD-QUARTLRS, MADRID, JULY 9. (Rg. a Special Mceseagsr.) Major General the 31arquess de Margnerye, command ing the blockade of Santona, has sent an account to his Royal Highness, that on the 2d instant the garrison of that place made a sortie, disembarking from 5 to 600 men on the point of Sable, opposite Colindres. The eremy advanced in three columns, anti forced our ad vanced posts to retire.; but their progress was soon stop ped by two companies of the 35t11, and one of the 21st line. The engagement became very brisk, and the ene my, protected by the fire of tit: forts. maintained his position for some time. The vigorous attacks of our troops at length compelled him to abandon them, and the Spanish General Valero having arrived from Laredo with another company of the 2lst, and h'aving imtne• diately engaged the left of the enemy, thelatter retreated in the greatest disorder, succeeding with difficulty in re-emba rking nailer the fire of all the batteries of the fortress. which fired grape shot upon our troops. The• ererny's loss may he estimated at about 50 men killed end wounded. We hare taken some' prisoners on our side, two men of the 35th were killed. and we have eight wounded, amongst whom is Lieutenant Archias, of the 21st regiment. After expatiating in praise of the troops engaged on this oecasion, the bulletin proceeds to state as follows: " The expeditions to the Ast,trias being terminated, Lien'enantlieneral Bourck commenced his movement on Galicia. His advanced guard, commanded by M. de la Roetejoquelin, bas been for sonic time at Astorga. One °fills reconnoissances fell in with a detachment of the enemy at 3lansanale and Torre, on the road to Lugo, hill:a-fix men, and took an officer, three privates, and tem " General Murillo, who commands the Constitutional try ars in Galicia, beim:- indignant at the conduct of the tortes towards ; the King.or Spain, refused to recognize the Regency which they created on their departure from Seville. A complete schism has taken place between him and Qiiiroga.. The consequence is a very great Lesitstion among the troops, which cannot but favour opera;:ons in Galicia. General Bourck was expected to arrive at Lugo on the 10th of this month." . Other letters from Madrid, dated the 9th. state, that Bourck was, with his division, expected to arrive at Corunna on the 15th. The French cruisers, it was paptetad, would stop the resonant of the Constitutional forces who may attempt to escape by sea. Tie same letters speak of the division betweeß,Morillo pod gairOga, respecting which so much contradictory rumour has been circulaied. • In consequence of that dif fererce, the French troops would have entered Galicia, and footed no more oppoiltion than in theother provinces. $t was considered wertatalhat 31orillo bed renounced all idea of resistance, and that he would retire as D'Abiabal lad done. • . ihRON A, JULY' 7.—The head-quarters of the Marshal, Commandant-in-Chief of the 4111 corps, Tatted Gemini on the 4th inst., to proceed to Arenis de Mar. beyond Ma. taro. Troops continuitto arrive, and every thing is pre ?whiz to blockade by land the town of Barcelona, which as already clese:y blockaded by sea. It is only the militarv.head-quarters whichhave quitted Gerona. . The Civil A . iiiiiiithdrations remain there, and • not rejoin the Marshal until he shall be established at SI two. Nothing more is said of Mina. It is affirmed that be returned to Bareelona in a very bad state of health. (FROM TIM, CONditilaitli/ifi.) It may be possible that the importance of the objects that were tr+tted in the conferences which the Morgues' al Ilas'ings held with our Minititers, induced hinato bastes tit • I.:indent to make a report himself without delay to his Go -1,-riment ; nor is it, perhaps, at all improbable •that his has been charged with a mission which will bring : back shortly to the Continent.

SPAIN 142031 THE DIARIO CONSTITUCIONAL DE LA CORUNA OP • lUNDAT,JULT 13.] CORONNA, Juhr 12.—General Wilson, having on Lis arrival at Corunna known that the new Regency of Se ville hvd, on his arrival at the Isle of Leon, restored to ' the King all his Constitutional authority, wrote to the Coma of Cartherna, (Murillo) to inform him of the even', and to desire that as he was charged with distri ,st:lig aid to the patriotic Spaniards defending their Ctrstitition, they in;glit unite to secure the internal peace of the province, whatever might be the opinion of the Cortes as to Legislative measures, so as to oppose the foreigners invading our country. "Ehe Count of 'Carthagena did not acceptthis propttsi. lion, but on she contrary suggested to General %%Use° to counsel the Spaniards in general to submit to the enemy; aid, notwithstanding the restoration of authority to the King, to disobey the Cortes. General Wilson having received this answer, transmitted it to (len. Quiroga, wit►: the following letter:— " SENOR GENERAL-A have the honour to tend- your Excellency copies of the correspondence which has passed between the Count of Carthagena and myself. " Your Bacellency will see that 1 took advantage of an opportunity which appeared favourable to penetrate the views of the Count of Carthagens, and to re-establish tt , e harmony and union so desirable, and on which de l:ells the general safety. -7; g--~ -- , . all sacs►._ which a straeger can snake, and which honour permits; 1 spallAlsra)4l be ready to offer in behalf of the generous Bpastish people; but, in the present state of things, and in the situation in Which 1 am placml, I can do no no more than reyeat my determin‘tion to suffer the same lot as the Spaniards, be it what it may.

The Expresses from Paris have brought the French Funds, 91. 5., and Spanish 36.. There does not seem to be much doing in the French Scrip, which is 2 premium. The Foreign Funds remain steady this morning:— Spanish opened at 33, and are now 321, Russia, 811.—Colombia; Ml.—Prussia, 85k. We have received, this morning, by Evpress, Paris Papers of Wednesday, of which the following are ex tracts : NEWS FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN. Extract of a Report from Baron Eroles : All our marches are made with continual rain, and very often without provisions. A great number of our soldiers are without shoes, owing to the wet weather, and we have not means to replsce them: but the order of the Chief Officers and Soldiers is such, that it has caused no other effect than to lesve them barefooted. I was informed that Mina was matching on Llivia. He ar: rived there at nine o'clock at night, and left three hours after. The moment 1 kucw that the enemy bad arrived at Llivia, 1 judged they would go by the way of the mountains to Urge!. (The above Report has no date.) VALLADOLID, JUNE 26.—1 t is said that Villa Campa and his Armyhave refused to acknowledge the Regency of Seville, and that the General nes resigned, and the command has been given to another. ARMY OF THE PYRENEES, 4th CORPS. MOLINI DEL REY, JULY 9.—Despatched from Mar shal Moncey.—The first operation of the Blockade of Bar celona was executed on the Sth and 9th of July. On the Sth of July the division of Dennadieu occnpied Saba dell and Sentinel. The division of Curial took a posi tion on the Besos, and the Ripollet. Milan has two battalions on the left side of the Llobregat, before Molins del Rey. Lloberm; oceopies with four battalions the frontier of Martorell. The three regiments of the line, on approaching Moline del Rey, were received by a smart lire. They immediately attacked the enemy, and reputed them. General Achard and the 18th regiment of the line, had to fight with about 4000 men in a strong posi- I tion,which this regimentearried with great bravery,during the operations of the block aby the division of Curial. The enemy made a sortie composed of two columns, one by Mount loni, and the other by Barcelona. They attacked the brigade of General Vasserot at Espuglas. but they were vigorously repulsed on all sides. The firing lasted 3 hours. The first column re-entered In disorder. The' second re turned to the Village of Sans under the fire of the place.— Our losses in the various combats are 13 men killed, and about 110 wounded- I cannot as yet give the enemy's loss, I only know that at rtorell they lost abont 130 men killed and a great ■umber wounded. Their loss at Molias del Rey was less eousiderable,because they threw themselves on the mountains. MADRID, JULY 11.—The Extraordinary Gazette which appeared, contains the following : Government are informed that up to the 6th inst. their Majesties continued in good health. The French Nita. drop took on the sth several vessels laden with provision, trying to enter Cadiz.. On the above day two persons were arrested at port St. Mary's, coming from Cadiz, bringing letters bf importance. The French squadron has set at liberty, several odor. mate persons who were sent from Cadiz to Cents. On the above day there were seen going to Seville, 32 officers of the Spanish guard. Head-quarters, Gerona, July 9. The (lead-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ith Corps is at Allele, between Barcelona and Illataro.— Thu investment of Barcelona is finished. Since yester day tbis place is blockaded by sea and land. A few days before the blockade a great number of persons- lef t the towh. GZRONA, JULY 12.—An Eepress has arrived from Jo seph Morales from Head quarters, announcing that on the 9th, at night, the Royalists made themselves masters of Cardona, and the Constitutionalists retreated in din. order. The firing of the Carlson which was heard from the fort of Seu, was a diversion. About NO men es caped from the fort. • MADRID, JULY 10.—A letter from Cad's, of thia2d states that the last sessions of the Cortes was boisterous. The question was agitated to submit, and the individuals who opposed it, and the militia of Madrid, cried, " Bring 'halos." It is added, they causcd them to go out, and :.~. the Isle of Leon. part gone to Giiiraffsitc t . eitiotity leiter of the 3d 'states, that the people are greatly *Rated in favour the King. It appears that the troops have joined the inhabitants. , A letter from At4orga announces that Generals Boarck and Morillo have unite.l, and march together oo Conmssa, and that the Spaniards form the advance guard. A letter from Hatauros l Za Hankie, states that Quiroga received from Oen. Morino - a passport; with 40,000 reels, to go to England. CADIZ, JULY S.—The Infante, are in the greatest grief. The Prince and Princess do not cease to pray ; they have transferred them to the Hospital. We are assured that the Prince Carignan has demanded to visit the Queen, in the name of his _father, and a Portuguese vessel has come to reclaim the Princess of Ikryra, and her son; but her Royal Highness wished to remain with his Ma jesty. _ (FROM TBC QUOTIDTCNNC, JUT 16.) MATARO, JOLT 11.—We this instant received import ant news, that General Sarfirld Las given himself ap a prisoner to one of' our Generals. In the Gazette of Madrid, of the 10th of July, is a long T'roclatnation from Morillo, dated Laps, July 3, to the inhabitants, and troops of the 4th corps of the Army. We have received this morning Bayonne papers to the 11th instant, of which the following are eatracts BAYONNE, JULY, Io.—As there is no Mail from Madrid to-day, we have no news to communicate from that capi tal. The following statement respecting the Governor of St. Sebastian is, however, interesting, as it shows that lie is still disposed to defend himself :—A French Officer with a flag of truce was very lately sent to the Fortress to Inform the garrison of the events that have taken Place in Catalonia, at Madrid, Seville, &c. and especially of the submission of Morino to the Regency. A propo sal nas made to the Governor of St. Sebastian to send one of his officers to Madrid, that be might be able to convince himself of the truth of the facts that were stated to him. The Governor replied to this that all he wished to know to guide his conduct, was. the actual 'state of ,the garrisons of Santona and Pautpe lona. The French Government not having thought fit to allow him to have any communication with these places, the negotiation was broken off as quickly as it was began. It is said that our soldiers, that thinking an accommodation was about to take place, iw prndently approached nearer to the fortress, and were immediately saluted by a volley of grape shot, the garrison at the same time making a brisk sally ; by which we sustained some loss. Letters from Sara gossa received to-day, assert that little bands of Con stitutionalists become more numerous, so as c.nsidershly to harrass our troops in ArragOn and the flank of our as my in Catalonia. People here talk of a great person age being soon to arrive here from Spain; and they say, but without affirming it, that it is the Duke of Angou leme. A Courier from Madrid says, that one of his companions has been sfopPed and plundered; the heat which has set in late is, lie says, now excessive, and our army has many sick in the hospitals. Numerous wag gons with provisions and military stores continue to go to Spain. We hear that M. Ouvrard has ceased, since the first of this month, to be the Contractor General. We have heard the whole day a brisk cannonade in the direction of St. Sebastian. This, it must be confessed, does not look like a suspension of hostilities. - 7" Brussels papers to tLe 12th of July have also arrived to day. They conaln an article from Zante, da ed the . 6th ult., which states that the Egyptian squadron is at dieted by the plague ia a dreadful degree, so that it is supposed, that the , Flotilla will not be able to ail this Smuttier to aid the Turks. The , same scourge does not fail to appear in other places where the army makes any stay. Hitherto this army does not in crease, except in the bulletins of the partisans" of the .Porte. European Turkey, it is asserted, is quite ex hausted by the campaign of 1820, and 1822, in which the . prinapal Turkish troops were destroyed. In cores quence of the dilapidated state of the Turkish forces and finances, the Pacha of Scutari is represented as remain log quiet at his residence, an unconcerned spectator of the struggle between the Turks and Greeks. From these papers we select the followingextracts:— BRUSSELS, JULY IL IL the Duke of Gloucester . who arrived here the evening before yesterday, went rater. day evening to the theatre, with Her 'Majesty the Queen, end Prince Frederick, and Princess Marianne. His Royal Highness landed on the 6th at Calais, under the name of Earl of Connaught : he is going to • Spa to-day, 'an I will pass some weeks on the Continent. VIENNI, JULY 4.—Their Imperial Majesties will come here to-day. Sir 11. Wei Lesley, the new English Arnhem. dor, will have his first audience to-morrow. , The next day the whole Court, accompanied by the Archth;chess Maria Louisa, will go to litt•!eo. The King of Naples, with his family, will return to Naples on the 17th of this month. Ilia Majesty will go to Leghorn, where he will embark on board the Neapolitan frigate, the Syren. American papers to the 26th of June have come to hand to-day, from which we have only room to extract the follow ing. dated Curacoa, 30111 May:— We have had for severe) days eying rumours of the fall of Maracaibo, and the defeat of General Morales. By an arrival to-day from Aruda, Me have received the gratefu Intelligence, that the report 3 are true, and that Maracaibo has *Wally surrendered. The Royal George Steam Packet, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth froin Gorunna, which plAce she left on Sun day last, having thus completed her p tssage in three days across a sea considered peculiarly unfavourable to•a Vessel of that description. The persons on board rehtte Many circumstances calculated to encourage hopes of the final' success of the Spanish cause. A gentleman who passed through a French division of 10,000 men .whom he inspected with. a soldier's eyeotatea that they were a parcel of men boys, the oldest apparently not exceeding 22 years of age ; that there was not a veteran among them, or an individual who he could suppose had ever seen a year's service. This may , partly account for the inactivity and sluggishness of the Spaniards. An army composed of such materials, it is not necessary to meet with fire and sword. Left to itself, it will not fail to do its own work, and complete its own destruction. In the heat and bustle of a campaign, sickness is sot felt; hot, the campaign over, when the troops go into camp or can t o nments, mortality commences. That period is not now far distant; and when it arrives, those French striplings Some o. contemporaries. _ ..c. tnat Spait is completely subdued. They exclaim, there is no war— tbe people offer no resistance ;—but there is a great dif ference between acquiescence and non-resistance, The spirit is not dead, bat sleepeth. It is not because we hea r of po pitched battles in. Sp.aiPsiii9.SECOADIOSei of Into opposed to each other in the field, that-we are to conclude there is no war. Time and the climate Wrsi carrying cds a more deadly war than the French could encount.: in the field; and pestilence will sweep away those whom she sword has spared. But with whatever degree of justice other parts of Spain may be charged with apathy, the north-west• tern districts traversed by our informant, are free from that reproach. From the preparations dishing in Gallicia, i t promises ere long to rival Catalonia in guerilla enterprizeF. By the Royal George, we also learp that the establishment of this safe Sod quick conveyance from England to Carmine, and the constant intercourse between the two Countries to which it affords such extraordinary facilities, hue given a new direction to-the public mind hi that part of Spain, end a strong Impulse to spietlelions 'of Internal Improve ment. Coruuna, Lisbon, and other towns are to he.lighted with gas, and plans are forming for the improvement of the road communicating with Madrid, and the establishment or mall coaches. We also learn that the Royal George is des tined to sail direct in future between England and Corunns, and that other steam vessels of less site will be built for the conveyaaCe of the passengers from that port to Lisbon and PARLIAMENTARY Cqt/MMENTARY. The question relative to the Weavers of Spits Mel& is now set at rest for some time. The master-manufacturers are to be allowed to 'employ their capital where they please, and the present regulations irefavour of the work men are to be maintained. We hope the trotter will rest here q although Lord Ellenborough sa" " if hereafter " the journeymen refuse to accept reasonable wages, it " may ha necessary to repeal the existing laws." • There can be no doubt but that workmen will always be ready' to accept of reasonable wages: Oh the point, the only question is, wko is to determine what those reasonable wages are; and if the j mrneymae is not permitted to judge, surely the employer is not the proper person to settle the matter. IVe have known manufacturers who would' drink three bottles of wine of.er dinner, and argue, during the period of their enjoyment, that sit shillings a week was quite enough for a poor man; and that mere made them lazy and luxurious! We are afraid this feeling fi not interdicted to oar atquairtance ; anti the time of the legislature wonid have been better empleyed in passing similar acts to those which regulate the trade of Spitalfields, to protect the woilts . pen of Birneslev, of Knaresborough, and other manufacturing towns. When Lord Harroterby objected to the repeal of the Spit:Melds Acts, because he did not wish the journeymen to he reduceffto the " deplorable condition" of those at Co ventry, the reason equally required that something should be done to mend that deplorable condition. In Bar nesley and Knaresborough there is now said to ,exist a combination against the journeymen amongst the masters, under the pretence that the Scotch masters undersell them in the market.' Such pretences can lover be vaned ;_liu't it is the business of the legislature, through the means of, the local magis tracy, to take care that the price of labour never falls below the means of purchasing the-necessaries of life. A branch of manufactures which can only he maintained by reducing the labourers In it to pauperism, is not a blessing, but a-marse, and ought to be abandoned. We were sorry to perceive Lord Caithorpe, whose good in tentions no ono can diapute, regret the loss of 04 Bill. " foamied as ft was, (as he said) en the strictest maxims 4. of political economy, and on the strictest rules of jos -44 tice and humanity!' His Lo-dship should remember that these are all relative terms. if there were no re strictions upon the labour of the jourdeyman, it might be consistent with a true political economy, to !cave these matters to regulate themselves. We say it migit he; for even then the labourer would often be stilkject to injustice and oppression ! But when a hundred different causes combine to orrate against the journeyman—when the laws forbid him to take his labour to where he email get a remuneration from it —and the taxes take from him one third of what he can earn at Lome—ivli-n a •rirg of statutes send him to prison for end, avouring to ob tain a fair compensation for his industry—while the twis ters are permitted to combine to reduce wages to the lowest ebb—the case is materially altered ; and both justice and humanity require that the legislature st ould protect the interests of the weaker party. We have long since abandoned every thing like true political economy in our system ; and must to the best we can u s i.le batch of expedients we have introduced into stead. , , • . • eV - _ L,, r . & sad, • . 4 Unfortunately the tiidelstrodier . . wo r n denial 'they were sent to ...
