By Madrid papers which have come to band to the let instant, we learn that on the 30th alt., when the King went to prorogue the Session of the Cortes, an attempt was made by the enemies of the constitutional system to excite a commotion, and that a First Lieu tenant of the Beards was killed in the affray. The neat day, however, tranquillity was restored, and pre cautions were taken to prevent the malcontents from •xeentieg their purposes. Pails papers to the 7th instant Kos fresh reports stspecting the negotiations between Huai* aod Tur key. It is now said that the Porte, inspirited by the support which It has received from the Members of the Holy Alliance, and by the sodden cheer in the tune of the Emperor Alexander, requires that the Cs bloat of St. Petersburg should disavow the conduct of Cdoot Strogonolf at Constantinople. It is added that the arrival of a new Russian Ambassador at . . Constantinople, is made the gime gig son, without which the Turks will not allow the evacuation of W.llachia aid Moldavia to be completed.

IN Tag Loans —Then was nothing worthy of par ticular amiss. In Via COYMONII.—The earaltoote Bill was read a third time and passed. There was a petition against this Bill by Mr. FIRGVSSON, of Newlin's-street, Ste reotyper. It appears that this Gentleman bad sub. !bitted a plan to the Habit, which he says would have completely prevented the crime of forgery. He pray ed the Howse to reject any Bill tending to increase the issue of Bank notes, until it was suertained that the Bank had done every thing that it could to prevent forgery. Mr. Hums differed with the petitioner as to the propriety of issuing small notes. He thought it would be for the general convenience osidadrantage of the public, that mall note* should be pat is circulation. Pray, Mr. Hums, are not sovereigns as convenient as small notes ? Will you bo so kind as to inform us what Mace we can derive from taking a rag which we have to carry to an inspector before we kaow whether it be good or baa, instead of a sove reign, the quality of which we know by the jingle? We ander:toed you very well, Mr. Huun I and we decidedly differ with you in opinion. and have great satiafactisa in knowing, that this scheme will answer airy little purpose. even though it is a part repeal or Pass's Bill. Mt. Bums blamed the Bask (r not having another sort of note. Ile said that the inunel of preventing forgery were &fore their eyes. Alr. !luxe forgets that the Bask Directors are not blessed with neva sight. Mr. Names said that the Bask had done every thing in their power; that they had found that they conic' get no note more difficult of imitation than their owe; that they had spared neither tronble nor expence; and that all the specimens produced were less fFitesilttif imitation thaw the present note. This we believe; for we have bees well assured, that every specimen produced was imi tated with the greatest facility by the artists of the Bank. Away then, goes all the scheming; all Mr. Dartstliorm's Royal Commission; all the butterfly oberebant's contrivances, and all the schemes imported from America by those famons schemers Penal:vs and •Co.; that brace of celebrated Yankees, discovered by their countryman Sir Isaac : COTIFI s, who bas inch a partiality for smock frocks as a dress for the Itnglish farmers. Hot we can tell the Bank Directors bow to hid when Psratxs and ork. and when we read that' I hey had touched I caner, we then said that ing, and pledged our note (if they made Bat we tan tell the end to forgery. -_Let effect, tha4 is the way to mall note Bill. Falfil _ promt Return to " our ancient and healthfel state of cuireney " Clumsy, undignified and foppish as the phrase is, do the thing; and tZiere will be as end of forgery. The present Bill will necessarily revive forgeries sod ..11 those horrors sod that disgrace, to get rill of which was one of the principal declared objects of Paces Bill. Bus BILL-Mr. F. Bt.yrox wished to know from his Friend Mr. BROUtiIIAM w►en be intended to. bring forward this Bill. The other having answered, Mr. Burrow declared, that he would oppose the Bill in every shape Goa iapriaeiple and detail. Bless us! This must be a very bad Bill, then; for this is that humane gentleman, who has taken such pains about the morality and comfort of priroos. It does not strike us, indeed, how there can be any thing wrong in suffering people to deal in Beer as freely as they deal io Bread. It does not strike as that frere would he either immorality or cruelty in suffering beer to be sold at Chandlers' shops, or other places. It does not strike as that there mould be any immorality or any cruelty,, in diminishing the monopoly of public brewers. But, we must confess that we speak with diffidence on such a subject in opposition to Mr. Buvrox, who is a professional gentleman ; that is to say, a public brewer, and who mast, of course, under stand such matters a Crest deal better than we do. Ititvnaux-wout Petition was presented by Mr. Honmousx from some men in Devonshire, who bad been taken before Magistrates charged with a breach of the revenue laws ; who had been committed to jail to answer such charges as might be brought agaiast them ; who had had no charge brought and no infor mation preferred against them ; and who, when es petting to be set at liberty, bad been taken en board a tender to be compelled to serve as sailors : This is pretty work. LUSUINGTON, the Secretary of the Trea sury, said the officers most have acted under a miscue ceptiun of the Act ! What seditious and blasphemous rascals those must be, then, who can pretend to be lieve that this is not the envy of surruundiag nations and admiration of the world ! IRIELAND —The parish officers are going round in England to raise money to be scoffs) Ireland to as suage the femme there ; and the House of Commons was last night engaged in a Committee upon a Bill which subjects people in Ireland to be compelled to remain in their huts, hovels, or houses, front son set to son rise ; and renders them liable to be trans ported for disobedience, by Justices of the - Peace. and a King's Serjeant at law, without trial by Joey ! The argument in support of this 0111 was the old ar gument ; necessity; an argument always at hand in such cases, and very cogent it is.—Sir Bonaire WIL SON moved, sato instruction to the Committee, to take into consideration :he means of restoring tranquillity in Ireland without resorting to the present measures. This motion, as well as one made by Sir Join( r.:ER • PORT for shortening the Act, were lust by very great majorities; and thus the Bill will pass, and will be In force until August next!—Sir ROBERT WILISoN drew • strong picture of thefloggings which be him self witnessed in Ireland; and, with the exception of some fulsome compliments to the WELLESLETS, made • very good speech. Ile dwelt upon the evil of tythes in lrelsis. ; and did it very well. (lave an• other good blow at this thing, which is now receiv ing blows from every quarter ; and if Mr. Mit.i.s publish a pamphlet which he has prepared upon the subject, there will be little more wanted, we be lieve, to prepare the way for a very quiet settlement of the affairs of the l'rotestant Church in Ireland.—Col. Dawes concurred in the indignation imp d against the Ministers for their want of exertion to remove the causes of misery in Ireland ; and, (strange to re late), said that the principal cause of the distress was, " Me frightfully redundant pops'ation, which was " increasing at ancb trenscndons RATIO then, If this be the principal cause of the evil, why do you, Colonel Devise, express your indignation against the Ministers for their want of exertion to remove the cause of the misery? We can entertain and express indignation against the Ministers as well as you; and, when the business is to pick a hole in their coats, we shall not, we trust, be found to tern our backs upon • any critics in the kingdom ; but, we would fain give the Devil his due if we could ; and famous as we have been rendered, by the cuckoo cry of "inconsistency ;" we yet did accuse them of neglecting to remove the cause of an evil, and in the same breath, trace the evil to a cause, which, from its very nature, is not removable! What would Colonel Dart's have the Mini do-? How would he have them go to work to put a stop to this frightfully in creasing population ? There are but two ways in a farm yard. One is to kill a portion of the living, animals: the other is to perform certain operations opals those which are intended to live. Does he accuse the Ministers of having neglected the Ammer? Pr, does he, in good earnest, wish them to use the latter? Al•LTiit:e's plan. that brutal plan. trill not do is Ireland, mind ; for there there are no poor low What, would Ire have the ern do? Let him go and ash Shavons, who seems to have turned his head with his RATIO. Oh ! no!— Colonel Davies; it Is sot the frightfully inermssiag Istrilatleit of Ireland; foe that has not iscreased at , all, let reliant-makers say or s.tear what they please; hot it is the frightfully laereasiag population of Co lonels. and of other tax-eaters ; it is not the Ia• reuse of those who labour ; bat the ;scream of those who do not labour. We dare say that the wish of Cilonel Davies to oppose the &Misters - , was perfectly si but his arguismot. or, rather. his lion, was the best possible thing that could be said in their &- react. Mr. Piansestr, adverting to what Sir ROBERT WILSON bail said about the tythes, ob observed : that the position that tythes were held by a tempi different from that of the lands, and might be resumed by the Governnient, might be turned firer against the land proprietor. and then against the fundholder, and would orniettle all Me rights of pro • perty. No, no. Mr. PLUNKETT. No, no. You do not understand the thing ; for, the Parliament ; that same Parliament that passed Six ACTS for which yogi were an advocate, that same Parliament which quashed the qul tam laformatious against the &TOO' Clergy, though laid agreeably to the very Act, which settled the rytbes opoa the Church ; that Parliament that has passed an Insurrection Act fir Ireland ; that Pakiattgent which can rightfully shut your country men up io their houses from sun-set to san-rise, and transport them, without trial by jury; that Parliament which made the Protestant Church ; that Parliament which ordered the churches, the glebes, the tythes, and all the other immense possessions to he en joyed by that same Church that Paella i.ent can surely resume those possessions, sell them. and cause the amount to be applied towards a reduction of the debt! So, that, you see, Mr. Pt.ostaxrt, there are two views of this mat t*. Yon ha,e got one, aid we have got another. And we really do think that out• view of the matte! , will, in the end, be found to be something about the mark. If, however, the project of Mr. Hume, that is toaay, for suff,ring the present iacutubents to po for their lives; if this project were to be adopted, it would have a great fault; and that is, that it would be insincere. Sir Romney Witson (as, indeed, Sit Jolts Nawrour did before) spoke plain sense upon the subject. He said that it wet necessary and just that the tythes should be a:relished. and that a new dis tribution of the Church property should take place. lii, words were these: " the abolition of tythes and " new regulation of the nes of the Church were " indispensable." That's very true. Bat we beg leave to suggest to Sir ROB'S? WILSON that 'yaws are only another sort of rents; anti that it is impos. sible to Om!, that the one is more oppressive to the comment maple than the other. The parson is only a Amor wrielothe landlord. The footing to put the thin 'upon is this: that the things called the Church property, are, in fact, public property; sad public property which it would be wise •n.l jest to apply to purposes othes than those to which it is sow appiied ; s for instance, to the reduction of the debt and the diminution of taxes. This is the fooling upon which the matter must stand, or every proposition for the 'abolition of tythes must be roues sod locapable of being sustained. FAMINZ IN IRELAND....-BJME one said that there ought to be a large grant at once by the Parliament fsr the relief of this famine. The Ministers contended that it was better to wake the grants from time to time. Mr. iYoart.ey objected to the mode of exact ing taxes from door to door. Mr. Benner took occa sion to object to the begging from door to door, and said that the Irish had a claim of right, as much as Yorkshire or any other county would have in a !igni ter case. We wholly disagree with bit.. BONNET : We are convinced they have no claim of right ; but are quite willing that grants of the public money should be made, on account of the over-ruling necessity. But still. we say, as we bare said once before, that, if we were Ministers. (which God forbid ! exclaim all the faction.%) we would employ. if nothing else would do, eves the troops in Ireland, to Itch food from the parts where it is pleuty, to the parts where the people are carving. .}Ve would keep the peace if we could; bat, at tiny -rate. the people should sot . They should not receive the extreme unction by whole parishes, while whole ship loads of food w, re daily coming away from that country to this.—As to the collections from dour to door, we agree with blr. Sruaav WOK ILI ; or, rather, that Gentle man agrees with us, his opinion of the wetter being precisely that which war stated in Oils paper Some days bark. The Collectors at Kensington have nut yet called upon Mr. CUUOSTT. The answer which he intended to give them speaks our sentiments on the subject, and we, therefore, here insert as an answer to Mr. BENNET as well as, to the Churchwardens of Kensington. " GINTLEMEN —I am not disposed to question the au thority by which you make this application; but, I know, that there is plenty of human food in Ireland; because corn and meat, to great quantities, are daily brought from that country to this. I am convinced, that the famine in unhappy Ireland. which I deplore as sincerely as you, arises (rpm watt of money amongst the labouring classes, and that that want is occasioned by rents and tythes, spent, in great part, out of. the country and by the heavy taxes raised on its people. I receive none oh those rents, tythes, and taxes; and, should thigh it unreasonable as well as unjust to give my money, to make up, in any degrer, for what is taken away by those rents, tithes and taxes. I pay ungrudg ingly towards the legal maintenance of the poor litre; and if I have any thing to bestow in the way of cha rity, it ought, in justice, to go to those jsufferiug objects in my own neighbourhood, whose peculiar distresses excite an extraordiaary degree of compassion, and from whose labours, in their better days, I u.sy possibly have derived some benefit. if there had been poor-laws in Ireland, this famine could not have taken place; be cause. then, the overseers would have taken • part of that food which is now daily brought front that country to this. For the want of Nine just and humane laws, which are founded in the first pnnciples of civil society. this horrible famine has arisen. But, if the owners of land and of tithes do not adopt such, laws in Ireland, it appears to tue to be unreasonable in the extreme to come to come to the people of England for temoey for the re lief of the Irish ;m.0.; which is, under the present cir. cumst • , neither more nor less, than money to be sent to Ireland, to be given to the owners of land and tithes, in order that they may, in exchange for our money, give their own starving tabu u food.
