The cool and prudent French aud Spanish as* that a cries was approactime. and wished to bring the multitirde to reason. The Queen of Etruria and Dun Eianeieco wished to go to Bayonne. The Grand Duke of Berg attempted to rescue them. He was surrounded on the id, as be was going to the Palace, and defended himself long, but "'aeon tl-.e point of falling, alien ten grenadiers arrived to bis relief. At the same inoinent a second officer was wounded by another crowd. The great street of Aleala, the Sun Grate, and the great Square, were crowded. The Grand Duke gave the alarm, and flew to his post ; and a battalion of the French marched to the l'alare with cannon, where the disturbers hail assembled. A 4riug took place from two ranks, and in a short time the 'multitude were disperses!. General Grouchy was ordered to disperse the crowds hi the streets of Alewle-30 pieces of caution, with grape shot, and arharge of caralry, clewed all the streets. Vet the insist geets, though they Lied front the erects into the houses, tired from them upon the French soldiers. Generals Cinillott and Ilanbrin hreke open the doors, and all who were found with arms in their bands were put to death. General Demesne! made two charges with cavalry in the square, and had two horses killed under him. The Insurgents made for the arsenal. to seise the er:na and cannon; they broke in, but General Lefraeu arrived in time to sere the arms. All who were in the uncurl were pat to death. The Trench garrison of Madrid were close engaged iu this affair. When the tiring of mantel was braid in the ramps outs de the city the troops marched immediately. When the Emperor receiera the tidings of the shove business. be went to King Charles. and met hum rousing fret,. the Empress's, where he had dined, and on telling him the news, the King said —" I bare foreseen this evil—these who set the populace ea thick they can restrain them."

Furniture and pro perty Itelotiging to the Corregidor, and other per son, of distinction, were burned and destroyed.— Ths..e disturbances continued all night, uud next mottling the Staff of the Corregidor was taken, and carried about ih u procession, with a flag affixed to it, ott which was the portrait of the l'rince of As turias. The mot afterwards proceeded, under the direction of two of the most worthless young men of the town, to the great plain, where they erected a statue of the Print aof Asturias on it throne.— They then directed their course towards the Coun cil House, where the Cardinal and the Infanta calve to the windows, and endeavoured to restore tran quillity. The insurgents. however, still kept up the cry of " Lnag lire Ferdinand the &Tends !' and compelled the quiet citizens to join them. To wart6 the night they attempted to attack other houses, but, fortunately, at last, soave ,Hererend Churchmen and brave citizens presailed on the rab ble to disperse, and passer was restored ; but it was necessary to patrole die streets night and day.

During the last throe years a litigation has been pending between the Rev. Mr. lull, Archdeacon of Limerick, and the inhabitants of the newly-built parts of Limerick, called Newtown-Pery, See. in which the former seeks to lzvy from the latter an as sessment of one shilling iu the pound upon the an_ neat value of their houses. By the statute (Irish) of 17 and 18 Car. '2, the Lord Lieutenant and Priry Council are empowered to issue Commissioiel, from time to time, for the valuation of homes and buil/hug within the city of Dublin, end the liberties thereaf; also the cities of Cork. Limerick, Waterford, &c. &c, and toasseu °fie shilling per pound upon such valuations, to be paid to the incumbents haring cure r:f The object of the Act was clearly to afford gra dual angtueutatiotio to such iucumbents, io Fr4pur tion to env iscv-ase of itoturs anti it,:.lll,itants, and coastcreittly of duty, within the di. triers described. hi 603, Archdeacon llill obtained a Cetamis -sion for tiic valuation of those new bititdiugs,for which Limerick is eo much admired, and ou tLe return of the valuation, applied for the order of imiessment. In the tneaq time; the inhabit-3as. apprised of this Clandestine frioceediog, and dreading *this now mess:neat of nearly )0001. u-y car, oir e o-syll it before the Privy Council. Much expense has been i nen rred, thrui Counsel, Attorneys, Sr. 'fin both sides. The inhabitants (nude: the . des4nation'of tic parishioners of St. 11liciate.l's, Limeriek.) object. I. That their parish is not within the city of Limerick, though within the bnbarlo or liberties thereof. and tli.: therefore t►ey err not umier the litre of the Act, 'bleb eltargcl the libertit s ofNue alone. 11. That it is not a parish with care of souls, tLero being no pnrih4 Chnreh, but merely a Chard of t 111. That this and other parishes have been appended to the Arehdeaeovry, merely iu order to support the dignity, nut fur an incumbent with cane of souls, as by t►e letter oi the Act. . I V Thal this parish WS, from time immemorial, paid t) dies, ansl Ought not nun tube charged with Miaister's 'sooty. V. That this assessinrut would he • surprise, and almost • fraud upon those who have thin espended their property upon improriu; and beautifying the city, and that its pro duce it to he paid to a dignitary who wiU do no duty, and is not hound to do oily. That •re also some less objections. The Privy Council, who alrme hate juri , dict;on under this Act, have twice beard this can:c mom points of form, once in the Duke of Bedford's and again last year ; and both times they loase an nulled the Arctidcacon's Commissions, for irr,gu tority—The merits have not yet been tried. However, lie now returns to the contest—an in come of 20001. o-) car is in view—a Protestant ad ministration governs. The Archbishops, especially he of Dublin, are zealous and diligent in attend ance. The incumbents of the sartarhse/ parishes of other improving cities and towns look forward to a precedent for the industry of new build ers. The Archdeacon has come interest by family ant connection. A blustering Canonist at the Council Board to, guide their deliberations, when the clergy and such subjects are concerned, and to bully the Counsel, who are to be employed on the laity's part, against another Commission, will be a great advan tap to the opposite party ; and it is at this moment the Duke of Richmond has thought fit to recom mend Doctor Duigenan as a Privy Couissellor-- the most odious act that any Lord Lieutenant has, perhaps, ever done in Ireland, and that is say ing much--every body in Ireland exclaims against the impropriety of the Irish Judge of the Pre rogative holding any ►cat in Parliament at all.-- It is attended with monstrous inconvenience to the public, for his Court is shut tip during his absence, and no contested cause is proceeded its. —Last year, it was from ,this cause shut up fur seven montlis,fran February to September; during which time no will could be proved, nor any ad ministrator appointed, in any case where any body chose to enter a caress ; the consequence was, that various expensive suits at law and in equity in the Temporal Courts were necessarily postponed, at immense expense and injury to parties. The same complaint is now very general. Another curious practice of his—being Judge of the High l'rerogative Court, Vicar-general in the Consistorial Court of Dublin, Vicar-general of the Metropolitan Court of Armagh, Vicar-general of the Metropolitan Court of Cashel, Vicar-general of Elphin, of Leighlin ■nd Ferns, ice. &v.—he yet takes fees as a common Counsel, reads ease-. gives written opinions, and directs proceedings iu the very causes which he is afterward. to deter mine as Judge !—A shameful traffir ! The late unsuccessful proceeding in the Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns's name, against the Rev. Mr. Synge, was entirely promoted and directed by him. .11ostv suppose • suit in the Diocesan Court of Elphin —he decides that as Vicar-general there— an appeal lies to the Prerogative Court—he is there again ; hears the appeal from his own deci sion, and dismisses it. The next step in appeal is to the Court of Delegates—there he is also as one of the Delegates. if he succeeds in dismissing it there too, the last resource left to the a orn-ont suitor is to apply to the Chancellor for a Commis. ',ion of Review, which is rarely granted. Tile Commissioners are generally the three chief Judges, who, in this country, will be apt to take forgrauted that all was rightly done. In that late case of the Bishop of Ferns against Dr. Synge, Dr. Duigenan, as Vicar-general of that diocese, passed sentence of deprivation against the . Defendant for non-resi dence. Upon appeal to the Prerogative, lie oil finned his own decree—upon appeal to the Dele gates, it so happened that they reversed his decree : he got the Bishop to appl:; fsr and obtain a Com mission of ReviPw, ■nd the Commissioners last 'seek a4reed ia cootinning the reversal of his decree.
