COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Aran. 17. viz WINO B. JAMES ?Mifflin. This defendant had been convicted at the last Sittings before the Lord Chief Justice, upon an indictment found ed on the Statute of William the Third. which charged that he, being Captain of a ship, had unlawfully refused to bring horse two seamen, named Morris and Clarke, who hail gone out with him on a voyage to Genoa. The Statute imposes a certain punishment of three months imprisonment. The Sotretvon-OstetnAL now prayed the judgment of the Court; and The COURT, on ler all the circomatances of the case, remanded the defendant for a week, in order to give him an opportunity of making some terms with the unfortu nste turn aggrieved, and thereby place himself before the Court in such a situation as would entitle him to some favour. The case was ordered to stand over for a week. Tea WINO e. ALIMINDER MOIL, !SQ. This was an application made last Term against the , r;•fenilant, a Gentleman of forune in Lancashire, for a criminal information, at the instance of a gen tleman named Wilson, formerly an Attorney in the borough of Southwark, but now a neighbour of the defendant, for writing certain letters tending to provoke the prosecutor to fight a duel. The misunderstanding between the par ties had arisen is consequence of a promise made by Mr. Wilson to procure for Mr. Noel the Manor of Hartiegton, in Yorkshire, with a view to the game. Mr. Wilson had, in fact, procured a conveyance of the manor in his own behalf, and thereby broke his promise to the defendant, who thereupon wrote the angry litters which were the subject of this proceerl;ne. The Court, atter hearing Mr. SOLICITOR-ORNRRAI. and Mr. llttouutiam for the defendant, and Mr. Scan tan for the prosecutor, made the rule absolute. At the Old Bailey, yesterday, Ellis Needham, insurance broker, was put to the her, on an indictment, charging hire with farging and uttering as true, a certain paper writing', purporting to he a bill of exchange fur 661. 18s., and to be accepted by Jeremiah Stamford, well knowing the saute to be forged and counterfeited, with intent to defraud John Kinnear, of Norfolk-street, Strand, on the 21st of ()arbor last. A' the details of this case here re cently given in our Marlhorough-street Report, we shall only observe, iha' afters long trial the prisoner was acquit ted. He ss as then arrsig nets on four other indictments, but no evidence being adduced he was of course discharged; the Recorder having, aoltuonished him as to his future course •of life, and warning. him to beware how he lent himself to persons to send nut 0.% the town bills to such an ex tent, without the leas means of taking theca up. A dreadful archivist ot;coured on the llth instant, in a coal-pit near Valenciennes, by the explosion of an in-' flammable gas, called iu Ciat part of Fr..nce.ftcc gri.tme. Nineteen of the stockmen were killed. The state in which the bodies were found aggravated the melancholy nature of the spectacle, for it is stated that they coold not be identiti-d. Their li mhs no longer reset:aided what limbs are in !grit natural state; they were shrivelled, and their parts drawn together. • • .4.• • ,Ile TIBI LATIN KIWOCIATIONS. Lord KING said he bad a motion to make relative td these negociations, the parties conducting which seemed to Lebow under what Divines called a frustration of under stpoding ; and he conceived that, instead of having employ ed such persons to negochte, it would have been bettor to make Bishops negociators, and *wheel the Ministers tato Bishops. It appeared from the papers on the table that the Noble Duke who bad beet seat to negociste at Paris and Verona, had been completely duped by the French nageels• tors. First he was duped with regard to the Cordon Saxi• tiah. the real object of which he did net seem to corners, bend. Then, after the Noble Duke went to Verona, saf whet the object seemed to be whether war should he made against spate, he did sot knew any thing abost the asstrest, sad gale be toast seed bane to have the advice of his GO• verausent on the salthret. lle week, Ask if-sitver a befoul beettermt to..fte• =beelike••-oe. se plus instil he bad drat consulted his Goverstandth Ms Lord referred to 'event passages in the poverty. SSlhe how meth theNobje Duke had been duped by the floarboftg sad their Ministers; and he eoncieded with mooing for an I weenie( the extraordinary expenses that had both incur red by the missions to the late Congress of Vereas.—Tun motion aras agreed to. Lord HOLLAND said he had some questlerts to pot to eke Noble Earl opposite on points eonnected with the be. *editions. •First of all, he wished to know whether there VON say stipelation in any treaty with regard to Spain sad Valasa. by which it was providedthat the Crowns of thaw ;W. mseatries should never be united under one head. The emend vitiation was, whether our Government bad any 'lthowledge of a treaty between Russia and France, by which Igessia 'timed to furnish France with a large body of troops which were to he landed at Boulogne. The third and last, although the least important question was, in what capacity was he to consider the Duke of Wellington at VlN tees ; whether he was a seemlier of the Congress, or one of those composing the Holy Al lance. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that with respect to the Pleat qesstion, he was not able to satisfy the Noble Lord as is fiat existence of such a treaty as be adverted to ; but he (Lord Liverpool) had no difficult) in stating that the Crowns of France and Spat; were not to be ensiled. On the wan' question respecting the sending of Russian troops to Fraossr be believed that do such treaty was in existence. In as ewer to the third question, he would say that the Doke of Wellington had been sent to the Congress of Verona as bit Majesty's Plenipotentiary, to take a part in the thecae.; dons there on all points commented with the Government of Ms country. Earl OItEY• said he rose, pursuant to the notice he had elven last Tuesday, to put some questions to the Noble Earl; but io doing so it was not his intention to antici pate the discussion that was to take place on the subject of the lite Negociations. He must, however, first of all , ob serves that he considered the gumption put by his Noble Friend raktive to a noisy. of the Crowns of France and Spain as one of gent importance ; and be must say, than the answer of the Nobly sa ri Was sot at all stitiefiwinrf. That answer smagetetitesothing more Gummi opinion *bans tarifa of so formidelde a nature, which threat ened to overthrow the balance of power in Europe, ought to have been made the subject of a distinct aqd separate engagement. But from the answer of the Noble Earl, it appeared that he merely relied on the construction of treaties, and not on spy positive engagement. He should now come to the point on which he wished fur informs lion from the Noble Earl. It was stated in the despatch of the Noble Duke, that his Majesty's Government would not be a party of any interference that might take place in the affairs of Spain. This was not satisfactory to him; the Noble Duke at the same time observed, that there bad been no intimation that the affairs of Spain would become a subject of discussion at Verona. The Earl of LIVERPOOL interposed. He said his Ma jeKty's Government had not thought that the affairs of Spain were intended to be made a prominent subject of discussion at the Congress. Ministers, however, did ex pect that some notice would be taken of Spain at the Congress, and the instructions on that subject with which his Noble Friend proceeded to Verona, were the very same which had been previously gi:en to a Noble Friend of his, now no more (Marq. of Londonderry). Earl GREY proceeded. It wu not very material to the question whether the expectation alluded to had ex isted or not. In the treaty of Aix-le-Chapellb there was an article stating that no discussions respecting other States should lake place. Ile wanted to know if any communication bad been made to our Government on this important point. It had been nuilerstood that Tar. key was to be the prominent subject of discussion at the Congress; this, however, nits not the case, and after it had been announced by the French Government that the affairs of Spain were to be the prominent subject of discussion, be wished to know what di rection had been given to the Duke of Wellington on that question, and on what ground he was au thorised to appear as the Plenipotentiary from our Government. On this point he hoped the Noble Earl would afford a satisfactory explanation. Indeed,the Noble Duke appeared to he sgnorant of what was now going on, and of the grounds of complaint made by France against Spain. This was indeed a singular situation for Great Britain to be kept in ignorance of what was doing by &country with which we had been in a state of inti mate union. He wished then to know from the Noble Earl whether he could produce a statement of what had passed at the conference, so far as related to the designs of the French against Spain. To show that there hail been indications of such a design on the part of France, there was a reference to a despatch of the 17th of May, 1920, in which an opinion wss held out, that an inter ference in the concerns of Spain would be justifiable.— He sidled to know if the Noble Earl would have any ob jection to produce that document. There was another point to which he conceived to be of greater import ance. His Majesty's Ministers condemned the princi ples on which the Nene!' Government acted in attempt ing to compel the Spaniards to alter their Constitution, as being inconsistent with the rights of nations. In the papers of_ the late Lord Londonderry the came principle was disclaimed ; but lie (Lord Grey) resisted that in the case of Naples, because a mere disclaimer was not suffi cient when the thing was done. Something I;ke this now appeared in the correspondence before the house ; the principle of interference wee disclaimed ; but the advantage of that disclaimer was done away, when advice was given to the Spaniards to make certain modi fications in their Constitution. He understood that re presentations had been made to the French Government on the subject of interference; but he could not find in the correspondence any thing like a direct condemna tion of such interference. Ilere the Noble Earl quoted a ptssage from one of the Duke of Wellington's et spatches, to show bow coldly his Grace spoke on that point; and it was with grief and shame he must say, that the honour of the. country had not been upheld by the Noble Duke in the manner it ought to have been. — e quoted other passages to show that the Dake of Wel- lington had ark no such represention to France, as the character and honotir of his country reqiiired•him to db. The Noble Duke had said that he app . reciated the for. bearance of the Allies in regard to Spun ; in all this be Went bierely on the principle of expediency, and not of right. On the whole lie mast say, that the Noble Duke had sot consulted the honour and character of his coun try. The other point on which he asked for information was this :—The Noble Earl stkted that be had 'belle received the most amicable aseuraoces from Preece; but so far from any assurances bein.' made by the Freak Goveinenent, be found in every gespetch e direct avowal of the Monarchical principle, by which people in chum and slavery were never to seek relief, except at the will of their legitimate Men. There was not, in the Pa pefi, any expectation of peace held oat be the French Oevernmeet; but the Monarchical principle beld oat is all its odious forms, by the French Minister, in his de spatch to Mr. Canning. This Minister talked of public opioloo is Prime, bet he hoped in Gov that the opisien of the French people outs not that of the odious 01111ein moat welhib wow •asieted b that country. On the fats of thPeerrempondence It was. ,that the Beebe lam* wee *templets* cinpee so of 'bribes/or •eietionwthat bad brew nrrletleen. • , The Earl of LIVERPOOL ihserved, that if the Noble Lord had coshed kiessef ti a mere motion for pipets, he (Lord Liverpool) would be able to produce them in lase than 111 halo, if reel: papers did exist. But iostead of that, the Noble Lard made a speech which embraced a great part of the question the House was to disease on a future day. Therefore he felt himself in a state of emberrassmeat, be cause he could not let the Noble Lord'. statements go forth without some oSservatlon. He must say. that he never heard a sore unfair representation of the eoedeet et his Noble Maid dining the segociations, than that which was just am& by tin Noble Lord. No mystery had been observed by his Mejeety's Government, either in their conduct or In tM expreeelon of teen sentiments towards Spain. The first Jostles taken of the changes in the Spanish Government in Ike month of April, IWO, did not come from France, but iVont Russia. Our negotiator was blamed for not having made strong remonstrances sesinst the interference of ,Frasee. But at that time nothing was said of putting a question respecting the recall of the French Minister from ItriZThe paint was purely a contingent one , and his Friend was not called on to go farther than he did ; sad the breekiag of a diplenisticlutercourse, he contended, WIN so cause ef war. At the time alluded to, the Weiler item by force ef arms was not called In question. He was sathilled that ail the information which could he required was mutilated in the papers before the House, and that no mM mould read them without feeling that every thing bad beet done by Ministers which could be done to prevent the 'aelorhetween France and Spain. Here the Noble Earl read Mae dominate, to show that the British Government had petted to hope, some time ago, that the late negwelations would lead to the preservation of peace between France sad Spain. As to the papers asked for relative to communica tions made previous to the Congress of Verona, he wished 'to have time to make an iaqpiry respecting them. There was another point. It had been the decided opinion of our Government that the Congress of Verona should not take ,ip the affairs of Spain at all. But the strong ease of the llovereigns was, that the King of Spain was in a state of defeM. The Confess, however, tenses, op without an en gagement that any step should hats Meg takes with regard to Spain ; therefore there was an ty for Our • Mil ~14 to have made any remoteness mimeses . • Lord HOLLAND expreseed hissisrprieethetthe Nei& Earl could feud any difficulty in giving information as to the papers called (or hy his Noble F riend ; and he must say the Noble Earl hail given a most unsatisfactory an swer to the questions put by his Noble Friend. His No ble Friend wished to know what pretests were made against the principle of interference ; awl then - he "was referred to the paper of the Noble Duke, than which a more unsatisfactory . statement he never read. A most horrible crime was on the point of being commit ted, and the subject was merely spoken of as a mater of expediency. Suppose a gang of robbers in Ireland had conspired to burn the houses of some neighbonring squares, and that they disclosed their deetgli to a Catholic Priest. Then, suppose the Catholic Priest could say to them "Oh ! don't do so ; for if you do, it will be a very unjust thing, and it may subject yea to great risk." If a Priest were to use such language as this, would he not be considered almost as bad as one of the conspirators ? and was not the language of our negociator somewhat like this ? He hoped the af fairs of this country would no longer be left to the ma nagement of men who had so little notion of maintaining its honour and character. The answer of the Noble Earl opposite to the question of his Noble Friend, relative to the Crowns of France and Spain being under one head, was by no means satisfactory: for it was evident that no security existed against such en event. Among the Sove reigns of the Continent there was what they called a princi ple of legitimacy, which was similar to what in England had been called Divine right. And when this was coupled with the insatiable ambition that had always distinguished the Bourbons, would any mad say that an attempt would not be made to unite the Crowns of both countries? in ease the infant Duke of Bordeaux were to die, Ferdinand of Spain would he considered as next heir to the Crown of France by (Milne right; and no doubt au attempt would be made to unite both Crowns. It never could be for the inte rest or safety of Great Britain that the two Crowns of France and Spain should be united. It was not now too late to get from Spain a recognition of the principle that a Bourbon should not be on the Thrones of both countries. He conceived it necessary that the House should be in pos session of all papers containing complaints, on the part of the Government of Spain, of the conduct of the French Obvernment towards it. The Deka of WELLINGTON made some remarks with a view of justifying the language he had used is the ;sego eiations. Lord ELLENBOROUGH gave notice, that on Thursday next, he should move that the conduct of his Majesty's Government, during the negociations; should be Wm; into consideration. The Marquess of LANSDOWN said he should move for some explanatory papers; and among others for any com munication that might have been 'made to the Duke of Wel lington, respecting the quarrel between France and Spain, from the bath of October to the 12th of November, during which time the Noble Duke was said to be ign nant as to the designs of France against Spain. He would say some thing more on this question to-morrow. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he should move for papers, showing that the French Government had disavow ed all ideas of aggrandisement. At Half-past Seven the house adjourned. CATHOLIC CLAMS. Mr. COKE (of Norfolk) presented a Petltibi; alerted by 67 of the Clergy in the diocese of Nortek+, in favour of Romeo Catholic Emancipation. The Petition wee read at length; said on the question that it do lie upon the the table, Sir F. BURDETT addressed the Speaker, and said that lie rose chiefly to express his approbation of a peti tion so honourable to the parties whewe'cause was to cowe before them that night, and so creditable to the liberality sod justice of the petitioners. It Was honourable to them, when placed. in contrast to the intolerant and bi Rotted avowal of a learned body, and to their desire to keep from others the freedom of opinion *which they themselves enjoyed.—(Hear, hear.) It was not merely. however, to express his concurrence he the sentiments of the Clergy of Norwich that be 'rose, it was to state his own Ihelings on the subject, and his most unqualified dig= approbation at the repetition of that farce (hear, bear) which they bad been called epos, year slier year, for a 'tenth of time, to go through, and which could not tend le Wood or profitable result, but was likely to spread unite widely the seeds of distrust among a large portion of the community, and reeved merely to promote danger to the safety and peace of the country. Since they had heard the Chief Member of the Cabinet declare, on a late occasion (it was the eloqoent Secretary for the Fo reign Department to whom be alloded),—since he had repeated then the declaration which had dropped from him before more than ,once—that, often as the case of the Catholics of Ireland had been submitted to that House, there was at present no chance of their petition being carried, he (Sir F. Burden) considered that the Right Hon. Gentleman was but practising a deception upon the House and the country, holding out hopes and exciting feelings which would become bitter from dis appointment—as hope lung deferred would be converted into despair.—(Hear.) For what possible object this miserable policy was pursued, he couldnot possibly ima gine, unless it were to catch a . gale of popularity for the semblance of liberal feelings, in chin way or manner at least.—(Cheers.) It was not prudent to create soother discussion on the subject, when it was well known how fruitlessly and hopelessly all means to give it -a favour able termination had proved, and svhich had only ended in the destruction of hopes rashly, and, unfortunately, too much excited. He considered it a• little extra ordinary that the same farce should he ngain brought forward, that the time of the House should be again west. ed in useless discussion—(Hear, hear,) and the people of Ireland should be again plunged into despair; to see again their own grievances painted by the eloquence of the Right Hon. Gentleman in colonts of the brightest bud —to find their cause again hopelessly pleaded for by him with all the apparent fervour of sincerity, and in a speech unanswerable, no doubt, in point of arg meat. It was too much for a country to be thus trifled with. Far better would it be for England and the Catholics of the sister country, that the same unbending system which once disgraced Great Ihitain,had not been relaxed. Far better would it.bave been that hopes had never been held out only to be deceived; that the least -concession never W.s granted, and the narrow and bigotted syitem of what was called Protestant ascendancy, that curse of Ireland, was still maintained in all its (Lettish and unsocial severity: That system, the consequences of which be feared were not yet ascertained, but which were likely to bring ruin some day upon the country. It was better even in a bid cause not to relax at all,than to make partial concessions, and incur clanger from the uncertain feelings of bOth par ties. Quante coat:len:tie etiam la meta, preetaatiur sit. If such he a maxim for the conduct of an individual, hbw much more impolitic was it for a country to,pursue it ? It was to him a subject of extreme surprise that the Et. Hon. Gentleman, who so forcibly depicted the conse quences to the Irish Catholics for denying them relief, could come into office with those who declared they could never agiec with hint. It was strange to see him unable to reconcile his colleagues to the question, and to heat him publicly avow the utter impossibility of an Adininis nation being formed, in which the claim of the Catho lics could not be admitted. Was that then:tanner in which a question should be treated, when the peace and salvation of the United Kingdom was at stake ? If such were the Right Hon. Gentleman's opinionsoftheimportaice of the subject, it would have been more Debit to have separated front cacti an Administration, and give up office; to retai• which he tSir F. B.) belle, ad was the c.ase of that ciao promise of the public safety'.—(Cheers.) In the Administra tion of Fox the Cabinet were divided on tite same question. The nrsjority were in favour of Catholic emancipation, and 'they were not content with a tnock support; they brought in a measure of pectin! relief—(near) ; bat they failed in their views from I disap pointment pf support on w:,ich they hat calculated. lie felt that ennobles was ne cessary to be done to restore pence to lettan'a, *era <lowa as it had been with misrule and ditiOnsiori. that epuidrer was at that m tmnent seen the efrect of diet Pepotent sod scandalous temporising policy parsae.l by public teen, from convietion, but from the ilsn.ree of losing their places.

(Mr. Pkoketi), to him HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tnuasokr. --- - In conserpieoce of the notice of a motion fee a call of the House this day, the gallery was not open till near four o'clock. All the avenues to the House were filed, from an early hoer, with a e,oucourse of strangers seeVing admission. At the time the Speaker took the Chair the crowd was ex cessive. The order for the call of the House, we under stand, was then discharged, and the gallery door's being I thrown open. the rush of strangers was more violent than we remember to have witnessed.
