He was, moreover, disinclined to the m easure from a conskleration of the question from which it pro ceeded. it was introduced by his Honourable Friend the Member for Stafford, bathe apprehended that it was the manufacture of thee persome fee whose conduct and opinions he did not entertain en equal respect. It was painful Me him, as it was to any Gentle man, to diffir hewn friends he had oolong cultivated and cherished, but to use an expression wh ch was, perhaps, mmetimes used is an objectionable sense, ".o help him God," he would be satisfied to detach himself from the dearest friendships he had ever formed, rather than abstain from giving that vote which his CP U. sientirus duty to his country pointed out. (Hear, hear.) He would mune his Honourable Friend he had not made up his mind Oa hasty consideration of the question ; his conclusions however were made up, and he was one of the last men who would surer himself to be brow-beaten nut of them. Mr. BROVOH AM appealed to the whole House, and even to his Honourable Friend himself (Mr. hambton), whether there was anything in the tone of his address that could be construed into so intention of brow-besting his Honourable Friend : it was con duct lie was incapable of adopting towards any person, much less his Honourable Friend, whom lie had addressed in the language o r r omeetful anti affectionate remonstrance. In opinion he agreed still with his lion. Friend, and had nut altered the view he had 'heady taken and expressed upon this question; but that ass not treason why he PhOtlld vote against another question distinct from it, and which he thought was just and good in itself. Mr. JAMES said that he did not consider it inconsistent with his conduct upon the question of Pulismentary Reform to support the present measure; 6,r, front the evidence before the Committee, on the state of Ireland, it appeared that the forty shilling free- bidders had only the shadow and not the substance of the right of I vying freely in Ireland. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill— Mr. Nicoi.sow CALVERT in the Chair. Mr. LITTLETON rose to propose thie the Bill and its amend. moos should be committed pro . firtna (to till up the blanks), and that it should be re.conamitted on Thursday. The only object to be rained by this was that the Bill should be printed. Mr. V. FITZGER ACD could not consent to the proposal fur printing the amendments.

The Paris Papers of Saturday are without interest. The dihate on the Budget of 1826 was concluded. On Friday afternoon the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND arrived in the French capital. The preparations for the Coronation are matinued with the greatest activity. The Presidents of the Protestant Consisturies of Paris, Nismcs, and Stras- Ltugh, have been invited to attend the ceremony. The ifaniterr contains nothing official, and neither the f:ioile nor any Escning Paper has been received. The new three per cents., it will be observed, are quoted still "el', while the old reruns are rising. FIPNCH FUNDS.—PAIIIII. MAY 7.—Five per Cents. opened at IYIt . 35:., closed at 101 f. 4k.

Last night At received New York Papers :to the 17th, Philadelphia and Baltimore to the 13111, and Boston to the 13th ult. hr. lit ETV! liana. of New Fork, is, appoi n t e d Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary . to Great Britain, itt place of Mr. Eusit, appointed Secretary of the Treasury. . . The advice* from Caracas, in these Papers, reach to the 16th of March, inclusive. The French squadrons were still hovering on the South American coasts, in a very suspicious manner, and interfering on several pretexts with the local authorities ; but the most singular intelligence relates to the overture made in the name and on the :art of the King of FRANCE to M. President tiottvAs, 004 him to assume the sovereignty of Colombia. We hardly know how to believe the fact, though it is apparently stated on the best authority. Bottv•a has sent to the Colombian Coup - ess a renunciation of the Presidency, and applied for leave to retire from the country. It is not probable that they will consent to either of these requests. By the extract we subjoin from the Colombian°, it seems that the proposition of the French Government to Rouyn& is regarded as proceeding from the Holy Alliance. The recognition of the independence of the new States is sup posed to have been accelerated by the knowledge possessed by the British Cabinet respecting the designs of France and her confederates. Several circumstances are pointed out as indicative of the anxiety felt by the British Go vernment to frustrate these machinations, and encourage the new States to defend themselves against all their European enemies. The news from Mexico is in the highest degree satis factory. The entire territory of the Federation was in a state of perfect tranquillity. A petty band of malcontents in Nicaragua had been subdued without resistance. The factious Bishop of SONORA had attracted the attention of the Mexican Congress, who were considering the propriety of urging the executive authority to take measures against him. We are glad to observe that the influence of the Roman Catholic Clergy is not so powerful as to be dan gerous to the public safety in the new American States. Wherever the priests have abused the power confided to them, or endeavoured to seize more than was entrusted to them, they have been promptly dealt with and punished. The town of Boston, in the United States, was visited on the loch by one of the most destructive fires ever wit nessed there. A number of stores were destroyed, con taining property to the amount of 600,000 dollars. The fire was supposed to have been the act of an incendiary. The real estate destroyed was estimated in the last tax valuation at upwards of 300,000 dollars. Amongst the property consumed was a large quantity of British goods• The claims on the insurance offices arc calculated at about 330,000 dollars. The Philadelphia Gazelle of April 13 has the following notice of the late speculations in cotton : " In one particular it is evident that the British speculators have been mistaken in their calculations--that is with regard to the amount of our cotton crop. They seemed to 1)1'14 supposed that it would not be more considerable than it was last year : and it ap pears, in fact, to be much greater." New Orleans Papers to the 22d of March state, that there was no change of consequence in the market, which was rather dull. About 130,000 bales of cotton had• been received the present season, being 47,000 bales more than had arrived at the same period last year. The town of Baltimore is rapidly increasing; at the date of the last accounts upwards of 3(0 buildings were erecting there. Philadelphia also appears to he extending its commercial importance; 6,000 tons of merchant shipping and 3,000 tons of ye:sails of war are said to be on the stocks there. The following are the extracts to which we have referred : [From the Nero York Natiowai Gazette.] MEXICO. _ We have in our hands a series of the Mexican Gazette El Sol, dawn to the sth of March, inclusive. Intelligence of the determi nation of the British Government to recognise Colombia and Mexico, was received in the Mexican capital on the 4th March, fmm papers brought to Alvarado by a British vessel. Information was also received of the entire pacification of the beautiful province of Nicaragua, in which a party of malcontents had taken up arms. They surrendered at once to the troops of San Salvador. In the Mexican Senate. on the 25th February. a Member moved that an estate worth 100,000 dollars should be voted to General Vicente Guerero, who has done so much for the independence of Mexico. He cited as an example, the liberality of the American Government to Lafayette. The:het:ion was opposed on the ground that there was no real parity in the circumstances of the two cases; that the Mexican Treasury was not rich, he. The Senate refused to entertain the motion. A National Bank is projected by the Mexican Congress. The House of Representatives, on the 211th February, referred to a Committee the subject of urging the Exe cutive to take immediate steps against the Bishop of Sonora, an enemy to the independence of Mexico, who was incessantly print ing seditious writings, and endeavouring to pervert the people politically. [from the New Fork 3frreaneile Advertiaer.l COl.O 51 BIA . A passenger who arrived in the schoorer Elizabeth, at Baltimore, from Laguna, informs us, that a French 64. and a 11 gun schooner, toucheti at Liguira about the 15th Illarch, forint answer to the de mand relative to the Spanish brig Roma Libra. General Merino informed the French Commander that he had made it representation to his Government on the subject, and must wait their instructions from Bogota, which would require about three months. The vessels 1 , did not anchor. a: d on receiving this answer steed to art. [Firm the Caroms Coliquiluna ' of March IG. The intelligence lattlypeceived from Bogota, announces two very important events—the one being a proposition made under autho rity of the French Government to his Execlimey the President and Liberator, to establish a 31onarelly in Colombia, and place the Crown on his head : the other a renunciation of the Presid:ncy ou the part of his Esc Ilene'', and an application for leave to retire from the country. With regard to the former proposition, it need scarcely he awed, that General Bolivar has met it in a manner worthy of himself, the country, and the irsitlious object which it cloaks ; and therefore, we should doubly regret the loss of such a man, at such a moment. The presence of General Bolivar is as necessary to us at home, as his name is a tower of strength to us abroad, and so far from sparing him, we deem his presence in Co lomhia essential to her salvation. There is a singular train of circumstances connected with this proposition on the part of France, which it is highly interesting to examine. The object of Spain seems to be, through the me ilium of France, to distract and divide us; and tltat England is aware of this plot, and resolved to prevent it, can scarcely be doub•cd, from the sudden recognition door independence at such a woltent. It furnishes most satisfactory evidence that, however pledged she may be to neutrality, as relates to Spain, she will not suffer its to retrograde front the point at which we have arrived, through the machinations of the Holy Alliance. When we bear in mind thedembofEcial assurances made by the London Courier huniediateli before the recognition of our inde pendence, that that event was still distant, we may Carty conclude that it has been precipitated by a discovery of this design on the part of France ; and that thus the two Cabinets are at issue on the subject of the Americas. We are further borne nut in this opi nion by observing the remarkable celerity with which the presence of Colonel Campbell in Ilarbadoes followed the recognition of In dependence. tat if to encourage our resistance to the views of the Holy Alliance ; henez. too, the hostile appearance of french ves sels on our coast, and the interception of the fisherman Richards at sea, to ascertain whether the mine had been sprung, or, in the words of Captain de Trestle, where General Bul4ar ergs. The present proceedings of the French Government afford ample materials for reflection. The great aim ma nifestly is to establish the omnipresence of the Catholic priesthood, by bringing all the concerns of education un der their exclusive management, and permitting no other instruction to be. given to the rising generation than such as tends to forward their designs, and to bring the great body of the nation once more tinder the dominion of their councils. They are advancinx step by step, and there is, apparently, no stretch of guilt that will deter them from their purpo3e. It is the general opinion in Paris that the recent assa•>instion of Parr. Lot. is Col 1:1La was tIT deed of some agent of the jesuitical faction, as be had just finished, and was about to put to the press, a work in which all his powers of raillery and sarcasm were known to be employed, against them. They stood - in awe of his talents, and of the bold and frank tone in which he deli vered his sentiments. They had not forgotten the „effect produced by his publication of last year, which is now lying befpre us, entitled, " Pamphlet des Pante/els." There is a passage in it, which, read with reference Mirk sudden usattsination, is remarkable : it seems written in the spirit of prophecy e airline write we s'etablit sacs martyrs, excepts' celks peen • nips' Brelide.

It was known that he had gone to Tours for the purpose of sell ing this property, intending afterwards to settle himself for the remainder of his days at Pasta, and to devote himielf wholly to the development, and dissemination of political truths. It were superfluous to pursue the ground/ of suspiCion further as to. the agents of his murder. In Paris it is considered as a secret which the faithful among alone fit to treasure. The conduct of the Catholic Church in France and Spain show that her spirit is unchanged—that her ambition has the same seducing motives—that her bigotry has lost nothing of its venom—and that she is prepared to wage war against heretics with as much cruelty as ever. The most revolting pretensions are openly put forth with an ait of spiritual ' supremacy that brings back the *orst times of papal in tolerance. Many Frenchmen, we learn from authority, have been heard to declare that they will never enter a Catholic Church, lest if accidentally they should gape at the moment of elevating the Host, they should be accused, under the law of sacrilege, of making a grimace; others say that their only resource is to turn Protestants. The fact is, the ordonnanee obliging the marriage ceremony to be performed first in the Church, and then at the Municipality—the threat of excommunicating all mothers who do not baptize their children within ten days of their birth—the rejection of Protestant sponsors—the insisting on the production of confessional certificates—the difficulty of obtaining Christian burial—all these form a mass of tyranny and oppression from which the people will sooner or later rescue themselves ; it cannot be otherwise. W e learn from our Pails correspondence, that to give an appearance of anxiety to discover the assassin of Coe sera, a poor unfortunate peasant, lately a servant of his, has been arrested on suspicion ; the real culprit, how ever, is no doubt by this time far beyond the hands of justice. We have heard that the statements we have lately published respecting the negotiation for a Spanish Loan, have in some quarters been treated as connected withh jobbing specula tions. It would be well, perhaps, if the parties to whom we alluded would take the trouble, before they impeached our integrity, to look back at the whole of what we have stated on this subject, and see how far we have already proved to be correct in our information respecting facts which now admit of no doebt. All that we have said that could be confirnted, has been since acknowledged to be true by the very parties who at first denied it. We have regularly and faithfully narrated the progress of the nego tiation. Several times it has been reported that the Loan was, or would be, abandoned. At one time we were told that FERDINAND would rather abdicate his crown than pay oft' the bends of the Cortes; and therefore not only there would be no Loan, but no intention had ever existed on his part to borrow, unless the transaction could be accom plished without the admission of the bonds. At another time it was said that indeed there had been a negotiation, but that the fall of M. UCIARTE, or something else, had put an end to it for ever. On each of these occasions we re newed our assurances that the negotiation was not intorno • ed, and we showed why the circumstances supposed to have had this effect had really had no influence whatever. 'We have pledged ourselves to the correctness of all the in formation we have published with relation to the Spanish loan ; and as we have been unquestionably right hitherto, we claim and expect to be absolved the serious itnputa don attempted to be fastened upon us. A short time now will settle the question. Meanwhile we beg again to assure our readers that we have not sent forth one syllable for which we have not the very best authority. Whatever doubts may be felt or affected as to our statements, no body will now venture to contradict them. The slight depression of the Greek Scrip yesterday was attributable, we believe, to a report circulated with much confidence and activity, that another landing had been effected in the 3forea by the Egyptian troops, and that Patras had been relieved. This report was founded on some vague statements in letters front Smyrna, the focus of all the false intelligence we have ever had respecting Greece. It is needless almost for us to add that we utterly disbelieved this pretended news. The Frankfort Papers, received in the course of the day, completely exposed its falsehood, and turned the tables on the parties who had given it currency. Letters front Augsburgh, Inspruck, and Munich, confirmed the accounts of a victory gained by the Greeks over the Egyptians, and represented the ex pedition of Imca x PA( lIA as having failed totally in his attempts to penetrate into the Mores. The French Papers of Saturday give the details of this intelligence, which will be found in another column. It appeals that the advance of the invaders was checked at Neocastron, by a general and spontaneous insurrection of the people. The Moho moans were afterwart!s attacked in thiir position, and totally defeated. Four thousand of them perished on the field, and had not the Turkish garrisons in the vicinity opened their gat s,to receive the fugitives, not one, it is stated, would have escaped. The Egyptian vessels are blockaded in the port of Modon by S.\crotms, who waited only fur a favourable wind to destroy them with his fire ships. The siege of Patras has never been interrupted for a moment, and the President, Co xnu Riot. Tk 8, with i 000 Peloponnesians, has set himself down before Lepanto, with the reolution to take it by assault, unless the Turks will speedily capitulate. Last nigl.t, in the House of Lords, after the presentation of a great number of petitions,, chiefly against further concessions to the Roman Catholics, one of which was laid on the table by his Royal Highness the Duke of YORE, who repeated his cordial concurrence with the sentiments of the petitioners, the Order was read for the second reading of the Game Laws' Amendment Bill. The Earl of WEsTstont AND opposed the Bill, on the ground that its enactments were tyrannical and its principle ads- • . chievous. It would, his Lordship contended, only serve the large proprietor, and deprive all others of amusement. The Earl of MA LM ESSUIIf also objected to any alteration of ,tbe existing law. He considered that it would discourage the residence of the gentry on their estates. Ile doubted that rendering game saleable would diminish poaching. , Deer were yet exten sively stolen, though the sale of venison was legal. Lord Dacus, the "Uri O. - n ARNLICT, Lord' Ciiiviioart, and Lord Su rriatn supported the Bill. These Noble Lords were of opinion that the Game Laws were a disgrace to the Statute Book, and the fertile source of misery and crime. On the division the numbers were—Againat, the Bill, 23 ; for it, 38. It was consequently lost by a majority of 1.5. In the House of Commons the Roman Catholic Relief Bill was reported,. and the third reading ordered for this evening. Mr. LITTLETON then moved the commitment of the Irish Elective Franchise Bill. Mr. llnuE, by way of amendment, moved for the appointment of a Select Com niittae to inquire into the fraudl .and abuses in the elective franchise in Ireland. The House rejected the amendment by a majority of 115. The Bill wts then committed pro forma, ordered to be printed with the amendments, and recotnrnited on Thursday. CITY, blowttat Eltrwixo. The business on the Stock Exchange this morning was of trifling interest, compared with that which was transacted during the past week.

South American Securities rather improved from Saturday's quotations. Colombian Bonds were 881, and Mexican Scrip 11 Brazilian ditto was premium, and Danish Scrip 21 discount. The Share Market was by no means lively; the chief business in it was in the Pasco-Pgruvian Company, which may be quoted at 121; In the new Potosi at 4j; and in the General Mining Com pany, which has lately attracted conkiderable attention, the Shares have been as high as 10 premium. There were no prisate bargains, that we heard of, in Mincing lane to-day. The prompt payment day, last Saturday, went off exceedingly well. The King will have a large dinner party to-day,at Carl ton Palace. That Palace has recently undergone extensive surveys, and it is ettd that it is very likely to be pulled down ; the preparation of apartments in St. James & Palace, for the temporary residence of his Majesty when in town, is talked of. The Princess Sophia, the Duchess of Kent, accompa nied by her infant daughter, the Princess Victoria, and the Princess Feodore, visited the Princess Augusta yes terday.

Mr. Secretary Canning's health continues improving ; the Right lion. Gentleman retnains at Coombe Wood, and takes an airing every day in his carriage or on horseback, and frequently pays a visit to the Earl of Bristol, at his seat at Putney Heath. On Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. Secretary Peel and family left town for Brighton, in consequence of Mrs. Peel and children being slightly indisposed. The letters and papers brought by the Lisbon mail which arrived yesterday contain no political intelligence. Indeed the previous arrivals from that capital were so satisfactory, as to leave us nothing to expect from that quarter until Sir Charles Stuart bas reached his destination at Rio. Despatches, dated the 15th March, have been received from Sierra Leone. Every thing was going on well. The last letters from Spain state that the rejoicings of the Royalist party, at the departure of the French troops, were not confined to Vittoria. At Tolosa, Alava, and throughout the entire province of Guipuscoa, the mob, at the instigation of the priests, pillaged the houses of the Constitutionalists, and sacrificed many lives. The monks of Catalonia, in order to keep up the zeal of their adhe rents, have established a society called the Society of the Exterminating Angel, the members of which take an oath to enforce the necessity of exterminating the race of Negros (Constitutionalists). This association already has branches in most of the large towns, and the horrors which are per petratal under its influence arc said to be numberless. Letters were yesterday received from Gibraltar, dated lath ult. The exchange had advanced - greatly, within a few weeks, from 48 to 514 and .52. There had been a great demand for specie for Madeira and for Egypt ; dol lars sold at a premium of three per cent. These letters communicate no political intelligence. Extract of a letter front the Agents to Lloyd's, at Val paraiso, dated 27th January : " The Chacabuco, Chilian sloop of war, arrived yesterday, in 20 days from Quilca. She brings a confirmation of the defeat and sur render of the Spanish army in Peru.

The amendments of the Committee eonsist of two clauses introduced as regulations respecting the intercourse between the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom and the Pope, and the securities to be taken for the loyal and peaceab!.... conduct of the Bishops. The enactments of the Bill on these subjects stand thus : Two Commissions are to be issued by the Crown to the Roman Catholic Bishops in Great Britain and Ireland re spectively, who are to certify the appointment of each Roman Catholic Bishop and Dean, and their belief that the person appointed is a loyal subject. The person 56 certified is to take the oath prescribed by the Bill for Catholics, instead of the oath of supremacy. Before these Commissions also are to be laid all Bulls or other Metro uterus proceeding from the See of Rome, and the Com missioners, if they find in any instrument submitted to their inspection any thing " which shall appear to them to twin any way injurious to the safety or tranquillity of the United kingdom, or to the Protestant Establish nent in Church and State," must transmit it to his Majesty or the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as the case may be : and the Commissioners are bound by oath to do so faithfully. It is stated that the Duke of Richmond has become fa vourable to the Catholic Claims.—Dublin Paper. Edmund Burke offers the following opinion in a letter to Sir Hercules Langrishe, on the propriety of admitting the Roman Catholics of Ireland to the enjoyment of equal rights, consistently with the principles of the Constitution as established at the Revolution : " Before we take it for granted that the King is boimd by his coronation oath not to admit any of his Catholic subjects to the rights and liberties which ought to belong to them as Lnglishmen (not as religionists), or to settle the conditions or proportions of such admission. by an Act of Parliament, 1 wish to place be fore your eyes that oath itself, as it is settled in the Act of William and Mary. Will you to :he retinae of your potter maintaim-Ist. the Issas of God-9 d . die erne profession of the Gospel—id, the pm. testant Reformed Religion, as it is established by law-4th„ and will you preserve unto Bishons and Clergy, and the churches committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law do, or shall appertain to them, or any of them? All this I promise to do.' " Here are the coronation engagemosts of the King. In them I do not find one word to preclude hi. Majesty from consenting to any arrangement which Parliament may make with regard to the civil pritilegea of any part of his subjects." den. FRENCH PAPERS.

The Chief Baron delivered the unanimous opinion of the twelve Common Law Judges, on the questions submitted to them upon that part of the will which related to the nomination to the ecclesiastical pre ferments, and which were directed, by the will, to be ex ercised by the eldest male lineal descendants of each of his three sons in turn, and the first question was, whether a grandson of George Woodford Thelluson (through a daugh ter, for It had not a son), came within the description of " male lineal descendants." On this point, the Judges were of opinion that such grandson was exeuded, " male lineal .descendant" being confined to an uninterrupted male heir. The other question was, whether a grandson under age could present, and the Judges were of opinion that he lawfully might. A correspondent complains of the great delay and incon venience experienced by witnesses who are required to be sworn at the bar of the House of Lords.
