Before the year 1792, the whole revenue Irdand was hereditary, and as the House of Cont. .ons could exercise no controul over the diposal of .he Pension List rose to 126,0001. Several inef. f.,s; nal attempts were made to procure some arrange ment on the subject, until in 1792, when a great many gentlemen, inimical to this state of things,. In the Irish Parliament, the Ministry of the tiny were induced to come to an accommodation on the subject, and a Bill was brought in and passed by which his Majesty waved his right to the hereditary revenue during his life time ) and the Pension and Civil Lists were limited,—the former to 80,9001. Whether or no this bargain were advantageous it was difficult to prove, and should be esteemed binding on both parties. The Crown had been now accused of de- parting from it, but this accusation had never been brought during the existence of the Irish Parliament, and should not, without enquiry, warrant the adop. tion of the present tlause. After some further conversation the clause . was negatived without a division. Th e other fo nd. Ae cletits were agreed to, and the Bill ordered be read a third time on Thursday next. The other Orders of the I.)ty were disposed of, and the House adjourned. P.

The business began in consequence of an official dispatch received by the Cortes from the Secretary for Grace and Justice, who, by order of the Re gency, transmitted three representations froth the I Capitalar Vicar. The Ecclesiastical Council and various Parish Curates, stating the incOnveniences wl:ich would arise from reading, for three successive Sundays, the Manifesto of the Cortes.

'Senor ZUMATAL A !MUGU! condemned their not having carried the Order of tha Cortes into execu tion, imputing their conduct to their own private opitiens rather than zeal.

Senor CALATRA YE said the proposition should be approved, and that too quickly, as the good of the coo ntry demanded it.
