Nearly the whole of the time of the House of Com mons last night was occupied in proceeding' with the enquiry into the condnet of the Sheriff of Dublin.— Thix portion of enquiry led to the examination of a wit yes, named King, lately created a Baronet; now distin :',i.hed by the cognomen of Sir Abraham Bradley Nine, and Deputy Grand Master of the Orange Lodges of In laid. The torn which this examination has taken.' and its remaining still nneoncluded, would render it •tefair we think, imprudent we 'are •sure, to do mncb we're than give a mere statement of the fact..—They art shortly these:—" Sir Abraham Bradky King" was examined, in the first•instance, to a point not worth noticing ; hnt the examination travelled a Iztle from the enquiry in band, and produced a ques tion respecting a part of the ceremony of initiating an Orangeman. To this question the Baronet objected ; rot, on the ground that it was irrelevant to the business Woe?. the House ; hot because it willed upon him to eiselrom secrets of the Orange Society which be was honed by oath to preserve : and it may here be remarked in passing, that the trestles referred to some passage in .4-riptore, which the people of these Orange Societies are i. the habit of reading on the admission of a New Mem ''vr. The Baronet having refuse') to answer the goes tient, and Limi::g withdrawn from the bar, a discussion 'ol!nwed rather longer we think than necessary, upon •he point whrtlise this man's scruple of conscience, itt.er real, or pretended, should protect him against a irefttiun pat to him in the course of j.istice. The deci sion was, 'that it should not ; and pn the Baronet's still refusing to answer, the House proceeded to consider the mate in which his contumacy should be punished: hot the House by this time know very well that although they have the power to send people to prison, there are sometimes very urgent reasons for their not Rending them to prison. Accordingly they were much gisposed to make up the matter; and Mr. Plunkett ac teeny Wirt so far as to propose that the Baronet should is • ezain called in, in the hope that he would not per sist in refining to answer, but that be would meet the Muse halfway, and say /hot he could not remember the subject to which the qnestion pointed. The House however upon cotasideratior,did not stoop so low as this' end they recalled the Baronet; who, on being pressed to 'point out the part of Scripture referred to by the Orange p-oceetlings, al:veered the Old Testament! The majority ado. House joyfully, out to say gratefidly, received this • answer in full satisfaction, for his former disrespect ; and the !louse then began to discover, for the first time that all ! is questions as to the Orange Lodges were very irrelevant; :It this course of examination might to in carried no :11:11cr, and th d they ought to let Sir Abraham get oar It was hoped by some that the Heise would get them -elves out of the diffieulty ;'but Mr. Grattan and other !!e r•bers threatened to resume tl.e examination next week rd Mr. Brougham sold " be hoped the public would though be feared they sat old not view the pro ceedinge of the House with a merciful eve; for tha they now threw up their raps and flattered themselves. '• they had escape& the threatened discomfithre." Thns stands the ease at present, and our readers will -re, that we have eery goad reasons indeed fur forbear "leg to comment upon it. All that we will say is this, mss disgrace and discomfiture light upon those who • • sAalt appear to deserve them.

There is a great talk in the above capital, of a negociation with the Spa niards,but it is feared It will not have a favourable result, and that the war will be procrastinated. The Parisians are quite in the dark in regard to the operations of Marshal Monczy. By the Lisbon Mail arrived tbis morning, we learn the arrival of Sir Robert Wilson in the above capital, which has caused the Portuguese to believe that England is ring to join in_the contest.

The accounts from Vigo, which are dated the sth instint, are.also highly interesting. It appears that Sir R. Wilson, Col. Light. Capt. Erskine, and some French sod German Officers, arrived thereon the Ist, for the purpose of enrolling themselves among the Consiitational Spaniards.

AT .SDI TII4D OF BEING ENLISTED IN IT, AND BILIPORE TAKING tin OATS OP Fl Citizens,--I am not in the habit of speaking the Spanish !enemies, but it is necessary that I should make the attempt on this occasion to ex; fess my sentiments in the best manna. I am able. " I am persuaded that you will regard the expressions of my heart rather than well-chosen words, which come merely from the lips. The moment is come in which 1 am to take the oath to the Constitutional King of Spain. to his Government, and to the Spanish Nation, during the war which it has to maintain scainst the French Government, not against the French us tiou, in defence of its Independence, and of the rights of all free men. For this I have left my country, and what is most deer to me, and suspended my duties as a Member of the British Parliament. Yes, my companions, we have come to combat at your side, and to shed our blood, if ne cessary. in defence of a common sod so noble a cause. Let us hope that our example will have some indite on on the erring children, unworthy of belonging to Spain, who are waging a sacrilegious war against their mother country, to impose on her the most disgraceful chains, through the slave of slaves. All the English anticipate your hopes and senti ments. This will not be the first time of my eombattiog on the side of the brave Spaniards. In the last war of inde pendence I had on various occasions many thousands of them under my command, and In the field of Margo I learnt to ap preciate the rare and illustrious qualities of this invincible nation. In the war, pretended to be in favour of the inde pendence of Europe, I gained the insignia which I wear, and which are not due to the favor of the Allied Sovereigns, nor a reward for servile actions ; I and meny others have been deceived by them, sines, Instead of being the liberators and protectors of European independence. they have become un just and despotic Sovereigns. I have placed my insignia over the uniform of a Spanish soldier of liberty,to sbewtbat it is not I who hare ab.andonail my principles; but that it is they who have violated the obligations contracted with their subjects, with their. Allies, and with the whole chi liz..d world. , "Now, in the sacred name of my country. in the pre ',nee of oiv God, and before those Banners of Liberty, I re quest his Excellency to receive Iron me and my compa nions the Oath to defend them." The Etoile (Paris paper) of Filthy has also arrived. hat contains nothing more than what we had previously received, except some doubt respecting General Sanchez having set out for Seville on a diplomatic mission. " VICO, MAT 5. " On the Ist instant arrived the Hell packet, St sinner, bringing Sir Robert Wilson, Col. Light, Capt. Erskine, two French, and two German Officers. all for the purpose of joining the Spaniards against the French. They were received with euthusl.s:n, and a discharge of artillery from all the ships and batteries; at night they were sere naded according to the Spanish castont, and the town was ,illuminated. On the following day they attended, by particular request, at the Convent of St. Francisco, to hear alms, for the souls of the massacred at . Cadiz, af -1 ter which the winded the troops were ordered out for the inspection of Sir Robert.' Ou the 4th (Sunday) the English °dicers, (the French and German having gone to Corunna) were regularly admitted as Spanish soldiers, and after a speech from Sir Robert in Spanish, at the head of the troops, they fell into the ranks with musket and bayonet. Sir Robert was in the Spanish uniform, decorated with all his Orders. Thr e hundred troops marched off immediately for actual rer vice. A dinner was afterwards given in compliment to the English. Sir Robert, with the Political Chief on his right, and the General (Govelobr) on his left, we placed under a canopy formed of the English, Spanisl., l and. Portugnese colours; many appropriate toasts mere i drank, followed by discharges of artillery. national songs, &c.; after which the company, alto ncled by the band, marched through the streets, serenading the houses of all the principal inhabitants. " Nothing can exceed the -exertion of the people at this place, and they have a very respectable force here ready for service, besides what bare already been sent off. Every man throughout the country is a soldier, hnt they are in want of arms; every horse has been given up for the nee of the army. . " CORUNNA.

The above adds very little to the information we had previously received and comdriunicated.

Front the falling back of .Abisbal's detachments, it follows, as was long ago announced, that the French will be allowed to enter Madrid without opposition. lint that, point, we ;is confidently expect, will prove their sae plus ultra.—. 'Their arrival in the capita), there is reason to believemill be to theM, nor, as it ii to invaders in general, the tenni nation, hut the commencement of their warfare. In the mean time, if an: reliance can be placed on the following article, it would appear they are not averse to avoid the extremities they have provoked. The intimation is thus given in the dogma! de Paris :—"We have this day. seen a letter from Burgos, dated the 10th of May, which slate', that the Constitutional General Sancbet, who was made prisoner by otichroops at Lotgrono, hadobtalised sotto. r rity of the Prince Generalissimo to Oroceett It was reported at Burgos that thii General is charged with the transmission of a reply to the propositions made by the Government of Seville, in consort with King Ferdinand." Excepting the mere advance of the head-quarters, the Duke's army can boast but of little success. The intelligence commnnicated about 'some prisoners and cannon taken from Ballasteros, and about his continuing to retire on Valencia, had been before related again and again ; and only proves that the country through which the French are passing, is as barren of laurels, as it had been rendered bare of re spectable population, or necessary provision. The news Irespecting Moncey's army is equally scanty. The Mar -1 sisal seems to have been engage' in collecting his forces which had been scattered in the hope of intercepting Mina ; and the pursuit of Mina Is now reduced to an attempt of a feu chosen men to trace his march! After all, it is evident that up to the 15th instant, the real oourse of that alert and skilful commander bad not been discovered, though he bad passed in the rear of a pow erful army. all the divisions of which bad been moving in different directions in order to arrest his steps. All thatcan be said of him is, that, according to accounts that had been received," it would seem that be was retiring upon Barcelona by Montserrat." By this it was admitted that be had gained an essential point; he could effect at pleasure a junction with General Milans.
