APRIL 26, 1623. .........C21.... Front the Paris Papers of Saturday we learn that on the pre ceding day the Law of Indemnity, with the amend ments of the Peers, was laid before the Chamber of D e puties. After some debate on the question, whether the Clamber should immediately proceed to vote on the amend ments, which was strongly opposed by M. B. CONSTANT, at contrary to the standing orders, it was resolved by a considerable majority, to defer the debate on the amend ments till the following day. The Efate, dated Sunday, gives only the following shcrt notice of the sitting of Saturday : "At the opening of the sitting, the debate on the amendments, trade by the Chamber of Peers to the Indemnity Law, was began. M. Vuplessis de Cat nedan spoke against the amendment to Art. I. The speech of the Honourable Member excited violent murmurs, and he was frequently interrupted by cries of ' Order, order !' The Minister of Finance then made a speech in reply to the pre ceding speaker." The other contents of these papers are of little interest. We have given such extracts as we could make in another column. The French politicians hive observed, that the Enzlish Ambassador, Lord GRANVILLE, was not invited to any of the diplomatic dinner parties of Prince Murria- SIM The Austrian, we suppose, thought it becoming his dignity to mark by this studied neglect his aversion to the niforeign policy of the English Cabinet. He may be as rgry and as dignified as he pleases ; the policy of Eng d will remain the same. Tn the Quotidienne it is represented that M. CO•arx in tends to take up his residence for some time at Bayonne, the general rendezvous of the disgraced Ministers of the Peninsula. The Etoile gives extracts from the debates in Parliament a the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. It particularly nem mods the speech of Mr. BROWNLOW to the consideration trite medal'. While the apostolical junta of Mont Rouge m making these zealous efforts on behalf of the Roman Utholia of Ireland, the French people are growing more vlgnant daily, at the scandalous excesses and insolent plosion:3 of their clergy. By our extracts from the Con eutoutel it will be sees that a pr't.st of Darnetal has bra charged by a great number of the inhabitants of that own, fathers of families, with having corrupted the morals tr.::e youth under his spiritual care. The particulars of mr:meation are too shocking for the journalist to repeat. Vim-General refused to listen to the complaint, he said, was only a Jacobin conspiracy, but the have been since laid before the civil authorities, and prosecution commenced. At Rouen there has been a 1 .malt arising from the interference of the Cardinal Arch 'whop, whose tender regard for the character of his clergy to not suffer the 2'artufe to be played within his diocese. 1 The French will, perhaps, bear any oppression patiently, - • - tat that which deprives them of their favourite amusements. faricx Ft:ans.—Pasts, A THIL 23.—Fin per Cents opened it 101 1 .

The second reading of the Bill for regulating the Elec tive Franchise in Ireland, was postponed yesterday, till this cveaing, for the purpose of enabling its authors to in tr,,!tice some alterations, calculated to render it more prualy acceptable. In another column we have pub tishelthe Bill entire. In consequence of the delay of this measure, F. BURDETT, on the suggestion of Itlr. l':usztrr, also postponed, till this evening, the Coln tittee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Lord F. L. Gown's notice also stands on the order book fur this 11 "ening, to move a resolution, " to enable the Crown to pint pro v i s i on f or t h e R oman C at h o li c Cl erg y of Ireland." MI these subjects can hardly be well considered on one 4 evening. They will each respectively occupy much time. The details of the Relief Bill will pass slowly, el with much opposition, through the Committee. A Ter! important occurrence connected with this question teak place yesterday in the House of Lords. The Duke of Yaks, on presenting a petition from the Dean and Cmpter of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, declared him telf in the strongest terms to be as decidedly hostile as ever boy further concessions to the Roman Catholics. His kinal Highness read over the Coronation oath, and stated tan in his judgment the language of that solemn obliga tion necessarily precluded the Sovereign from giving the Rolkl Assent to the measures before the other House of Parliamer.t. The emphatic words with which his Royal Highness concluded his short but memorable speech, will be read with the most intense interest by all who have t ki:ell part in the discussion of this question. If, con ikt:ng the known disposition of the Peerage generally, and the lofty station of the Illustrious Speaker, his dada ! ruin do not absolutely extinguish all hope of success amongst the Roman Catholics, it is certainly deferred to a P:ned considerably remote. The cotAuding words of his Royal Highness were to this effect:— .. ----- " I hare for the last twenty-five years considered this subject with attention, and every year boa convinced me more and more teeegh. that nothing has occurred to indttee me to change the ' , 1 "" i hate formed, and which opinion, in whatever situation "naY be placed, 1 will never filter—So help me God." flat important subject, the Corn Laws, was yesterday, 13 some degree, under the consideration of both Houses of Parliament. No subject of Legislation is environed with I ° . Puny and such serious difticulties. The fairest mode to patties, and that which would be least open to fraud, ir4 tild be a protecting duty ; but it is obvious, that there L IY be seasons of dearth when no fixed rule could be r 1-rained. The system of averages, however, is so notoriously defective, that we believe there will be no ob jection on either side to its removal. Mr. HosxtssoN an nounced that it was his intention, at an early period of the next Session, to bring the entire subject before Parliament. On Thursday evening, on Mr. W. Wit tvmon c's motion, it is the intention of the President of the Board of Trade to state the considerations that have influenced him. In answer to a question from Mr. T. Wit sou, he stated that he should persevere in recommending the abolition of the prohibitory duties. The Right Hon. Gentleman also made known his intention shortly to propose that the corn which has been under lock for several years should be admitted into the market. Mr. GOOCH made an attempt to sound the trumpet of alarm, but though he concluded with a quotation, be failed in arousing the sensitive fears of the country gentlemen. It was gratifying upon the whole to remark the friendly spirit in which the Members repre senting the two great interests of the country expressed themselves towards each other. The only Gentle man who did not figure much to his advantage in the discussion, was Mr. Cat.caarr, who, in his anxiety to find something blameable in the conduct of Minis tera, reprehended them sharply for not giving notice of what they did not intend to do. The Order Book is sufficiently crowded with notices already. We know not to what length it would be extended, if all that Go vernment does not intend to bring forward were also en tered upon it. error, Mosnal• EvExtwo; This also is a Holiday at the Rank and Stock Exchange.

Yesterday morning early, the Duke of York arrive) at his late residence in Stable-yard, St. James's, where his Royal Highness alighted, and remained a considerable time. Yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia, and the Duke of York, visited the Princess Augusta. The Duchess of Kent gave a grand dinner on Sunday to Princess Augusta, Prince Leopold, and a select party, at her apartments at Kensington Palace. Divine Service was, as usual, performed on Sunday to the King's Household, at his Palace in Pall-mall, by the Rev. Dr. Blomberg. Count Munster had an audience of the King . yesterday.

LORD AND LADY CLANRICARDE.—The young Earl of Clanricarde, and his lovely and accomplished bride (the only daughter of the Right Hon. Secretary for Fo reign Affairs,) attended by a numerous and splendid suite, landed at Howth yesterday, from England. The car riages and servants of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, who has long been the attached friend of the Countess's father, were in waiting to receive and convey the noble pair and their attendants to town. They are on their way to Portumna Castle, the ancient and magnificent seat of the Clanricarde family, in the county of Galway.—Thiblia Freeman's Journal of Fr iday.

CRY TF. n Arai'. 21.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the celebration of his Majesty's Birth-day, the same was observed here with demonstrations of rejoic ing. A number of flags of various nations, and other emblems, were displayed at the Royal Old Well, in the delightful Long NI alk of Elms, leading to the celebrated Puny-Room, under the management of Mr. Chambers. The flag at the church steeple was also displayed. The bells rang a merry peal during the day ; guns were fired at intervals at the Royal Old Wells; several dinner parties took place to celebrate the event. The town is now fuller of company than ever was known at this season of the year; what is called a good house is not to be obtained ; about 300 houses in and about the town are erecting, and such is the rage for building, that sufficient workmen cannot be procured to proceed with the buildings now in hand. The Plough Inn and the Imperial Hotel and Boarding House have been so full, that families have been turned away. Liddell's, late Fisher's boarding-house, is also full, and the present proprietor bids fair to be well supported by some of the first families who resort here. A new road to Gloucester has lately been completed ; it proceeds close to Mr. Thompson's Montpelier Spa, by the King's Old Well, in the front of the Crescent, branches to the right, and enters High-street at the back of the Colonnade. The annual Festival of the celebration of the King's Birthday was observed by his Majesty's Honourable corps of Gentlemen Pensioners dining together on Saturday at Freemasons' Hall. CONGRESS AT MILAN. —A letter from Turin, in the Journal Belgique, states, that " it is generally thought that the meeting at Milan will have two objects; the first is the general policy of Europe; the second, the interests of Italy in particular. The last naturally excites the curiosity of the Italians. Everything is in motion around them and at a distance. Representative Governments exist in France and the Netherlands. Several German Princes have also set an example, by introducing into their States that li beral system to which Great Britain owes its prosperity." Letters received yesterday from Paris state, " that such part of the French army as is not wanted for the reinforce ment of the garrisons in the fortified towns retained in Spain, will return immediately into France. On the 13th inst. the 17th regiment of chasseurs, forming a part of the troops to be withdrawn, arrived at Bayonne. They would be followed by the artillery of the 12th, and other regi ments, to the extent of about 8,000 or 10,000 men. The whole were expected in that place by the 20th inst. The General commanding would have his head-quarters there on the 22d." iVe have received papers from the Ci.pe of Good Hope to the 23d December, but they contain no intelligence of any importance. By their total silence on the subject, we arc led to believe that the inroads of the Caffres on the boundary line of the colony have ceased. Letters have been received by a merchant in the City from Trieste, confirming the account of the earthquake at Algiers. The letter states that upwards of seventeen thousand persons perished, of whom more than two thou sand were Jews. The Jews in Warsaw have been subjected to new and petty vexations. By an ordonnance dated the 91st of March, they are commanded to remove from some streets not mentioned in the preceding ordonnances, by the Ist of May, this year, and to reside in the most remote part of the suburbs. The splendid mansion of a Noble Marquis, in Piccadilly, which, from the splendor of its furniture and the spice dor of its entertainments, is denominated the Guildhall of the west end of the town, is not likely to become a fa vourite residence of the noble proprietor. It is a somewhat singular circumstance, that although he has expended many thousands in furnishing and completing this elegant mansion, he has not, since its completion, slept a single night under its roof, from a supposition, we understand, of the unhealthfulness of the situation, which arises from the closeness of the lane, and premises in the rear of it. The entertainments of the Noble Lord are given theme, and he retires every night to another town establishment in its vicinity. MM161.1 THE BRITISH PRES S . FASHIONABLE INTE L LIG E.VCE.

His Majesty having signified his intention to honour this Theatre with his presence last night, for the first time this season, the Kings box was fitted up with the usual splendor, and the private boxes on the same side were set apart for the accommodation of his Majesty's attend ants. Proper regularions hail been made at an early period of the evening for the preservation of order, by stationing peace officers, under the !direction of Sir Richard Birnie and Messrs. Halls and Minshull, in the vicinity of the theatre. A guard of honour, under the command of Major Bentinck, attended in Prince's-place, in front of the Royal Entrance, at half-pa st fi ve o'clock. At ten minut e s before seven o'clock his Majesty entered his carriage, which was in readiness in the court-yard of the Palace, Pall mall, from half-past six. The Royal cavalcade, consisting of five carriages, including his Majesty's, and escorted by a party of Life Guards, proceeded at a quick pace by Charing-cross, St. Martin's-lane, Long-acre, and James'. street, to Hart-streets The streets and houses on the line of the procession were thronged with spectators, who welcomed the Royal cavalcade with loud expres sions of satisfaction and respect. His Majesty was re ceived, on alighting from his carriage, at the door of Royal entrance, by Captain Forbes, and Mr. Kemble, attired in court dresses, and was lighted to his box by Mr. Fawcett, the stage-manager, and Mr. Gardner, the Groom of the King's Chamber. A party of the Yeomen of the Guard lined the entrance hall, and the passage and staircase were covered, with MAI laid dawn'-- +. sion. '1 ne doors of the theatre had been opened at six o'clock, and Cie pit, gaPeries, and upper boxes were filled at the first rush. His Majesty, attended by his suite, entered the royal box at a few minutes past seven : he was dressed in a blue uniform, similar to that which he wore at the last levee, and decorated with the insignia of four splendid orders. The reception which awaited the King on hie en trance was of the most enthusiastic description, which his Majesty acknowledges' in his usual condescending and dig nified manner. " God save the King" was sung by the whole vocal strength of the Company, and the applause at its conclusion was vehement and protracted. His Ma jesty looked extremely well, and paid particular attention to the performance throughout the evening, frequently ex pressing his approbation, and beating time to Weber's music more than once. The applause on the King's retir ing from his box was equal to that which welcomed his entrance. His Majesty was in excellent spirits, and ap peared to be deeply impressed by the warmth and enthu siastic loyalty of the audience. FUNERAL OF HENRY FUSEL', ESQ. R.A. The mortal remains of this distinguished artist and scholar were deposited yesterday in a private vault in the Cathedral of St. Paul's, close to that of his great friend and admirer, Sir Joshua Reynolds. The funeral, although private, was sufficiently attended to show the deep interest in which the worth and genius of this highly-gifted man were held. His acquirements in literature and science shed a lustre upon the arts, and dignified the institution of which be was a member. The funeral was conducted by Messrs. France and Banging, Pall-mall, and the outer coffin, inclosing the leaden one, was covered with rich black velvet, and the plate bore the following inscription:— " Henry Fuseli, Esq., Master of Arts. Royal Academician. Professor of Painting. and Keeper of the Royal Academy of London, died A pril lei, 1825, aged 86 yearn." The procession proceeded from Somerset House, about eleven o clock, and arrived at the Cathedral, a little before twelve, in the following order : Pages bearing funeral feathers, with attendants.

Dust..—A duel was fought on Saturday morning at Earna-court, Kensington, between Captain II- and Mr. W—. Captain H. fired in the air, and then de manded of Mr. W. to retract the words he made use of, which he declined to do. They then reloaded, and, in the second round, Mr. W. received Captain H.'s ball in the left arm, just above the elbow. The seconds now in-' terfered, and the business terminated. The quarrel :arose from some disrespectful language used by Mr. W. con cerning a young lady who recently eloped with Capt. H.

They were met by some of the stewards of the Anniversary Dinner, who invited them to dine with the friends of the Institution to morrow, at the City of London Tavern, when the Duke of Glouces ter will take the chair at half-past live. They very thankfully ac cepted an invitation to dine with a cousin of their great father, King George, and promised to attend in full costume. .- -- .T - - FRENCH PAPERS.

A great number of i n h a bi tant householders PAßlS APRIL of the town of Dsonetal (Seine Inferieure) have lately signed and sent to the Pro sereur du Roi a complaint against M. Lefebvre, Cure of that town, 'awn they accuse of corrupting the morals of their youth. We have a copy of this complaint now before us, but decency prevents us making any extracts from it. The subscribers to the complaint wishing, concerning matters of religion and its ministers, to avoid notoriety of aby kind, at first applied to the ecclesiastical authority to have the Cure dismissed; but AL Lesur, Vicar-General, now so celebrated, answered, that M. Lefebvre was a zealous and virtuous man, and that it was nothing more than a conspiracy framed by Jacobins. There are, however, among the signatures those of eight or nine members of the Municipal Council of Ihmetal, and several of the principal manufacturers of that industrious town. The complaint has in consequence been sent tip to the judicial authorities, and is before the Procureur.lieneral, along with the proofs, and the investigation of the case has already been entered upon. Tumult and confusion were on the 20th of this month renewed at Rouen, upon the occasion of the shutting the theatre for the season. The play bills had announced an ordinary piece, and the public had called for Tar Mire with greater warmth than ever, but as on the preceding evening and the evening before that the call was not satisfied, and for the third time, it became necessary to call in the Garde Royal, to maintain order without the walls of the theatre, whilst the gendarmerie ejected the audience and shut up the theatre, without any piece at all having been performed. It was said in the town that M. Lesur, the Vicar. General, has departed for Paris. J.4IIfAICA_PAPERS. We have received Jamaica Papers to the 13th ult. They do not contain a single paragraph of political intelligence; but we extract from the Kingston Chronicle of the 14th the following account of the first celebration of divine service by the new Bishop of Jamaica : KINGSTON, ;Italics' 14. yesterday morning, s lsy a very nu licrolifl i'mt - tt:iptctittnerrakiewas non, in expectation of hearing the first sermon delivered by the Lord Bishop of Jamaica; and although every pew was crowded to overflowing, still the greatest decorum and quietness prevailed throughout the church till half-past ten, when, on the entrance of the Lord Bishop, attended by the Rev. Mr. Campbell, divine ser vice was commenced by the latter. The Communion Service was read in a most impressive manner by his Lordship, who afterwards ascended the pulpit, and gave as his text a portion of the 23d verse, 20th chap. of St. Matthew's Gospel, "But to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it s h a ll b e given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father." The orthodox and erudite style in which his Lordship illustrated and explained the words of his text, fixed the attention of all present; and added to the clear, fuU, manly tone of his voice, enhanced by a pure pronunciation, and an easy, unembarrassed, and graceful delivery, altogether pro duced an effect on his hearers which can be better felt than described by those who possess and can appreciate the delicate aceoracy of an Lnglish ear. His Lordship's manner and delivery are certainly models, which the inferior clergy may safely emulate, and we trust that God may long preserve his health, and prosper his endeavours in the furtherance of true religion anti genuine piety. COLOMBIA. In the Colombian Papers received yesterday, by an ar rival from Jamaica, we have no later intelligence than we had already in our posacasion. Bolivar, it appears, had sent to the Congress for leave to resign his authority, which they had unanimously refused. The whole discus sion consisted of testimonies of affection and gratitude to the Liberator. The victory of Ayacucho was celebrated at Bogota by three days rejoicing. The following are extracts:— (From the Devitt Constititeionai of Jan. 29.1 LOSS OF THE ARMY OF COLON/HA, ON THE SD AND 9TH OF DECEMBER.

The General-in-Chief, in consequence of the gallant behaviour of General Cardon in the battle of Ayacucho, took upon himself, in the name of Colombia, the Liberator, the Congress, and the Government, to promote him, on the field of battle, to the rank of Lieutenant-General ; and he has likewise promoted General Lars to the same rank, foe his distinguished services during the earnpai-n. In tie same way the General-in-Chief has apportioned the re. wards to toe Chiefs of the Army, until • report of the privates, captains, and subalterns. who have distinguished themselves, be properly made to him, in onler that the promotion and favours to which they have entitled themselt es may be granted them. "TILE GENERAL-IX-CHIEF TO THE UIIITED MUST. " Soldiers I—On the field of Ayacucho you have brought to a completion the enterprise most worthy of you. Six thousand warriors of the Liberating Army have sealed with their con stancy and their blood the independence of Peru and the peace of America. Fourteen thousand Spanish soldier, who for fourteen years have conquered in this Republic, are now humbled at your feet. " Peruvians !—Vou are the chosen of your country. Your chil dren, to the remotest generations of Peru, will remember your names with gratitude and pride. " Colombians !--From the Orinoco to the Desaguadero you have marched in triumph. Two nations owe to you their exist ence. Victory has destined your arms to be the guarantee of the liberty of the New IVi.e.J. " ANT. JOSE DE SUCRE. " Head-Quarters in Ayacucho, Dec. 10,1824." Letters from Rio of the 3d March confirm the triumph of Bolivar. Generals La Serra and Valdez had arrived there on the 2d instant, in a French vessel ; Canterac was hourly expected in another French ship. Callao had not surrendered to the Patriots. The Governor's wishing to make some private personal arrangements, is the only cause assigned for the delay. 't here were no accounts of the Asia. Letters from Carthagcna de Colombia, dated the 27th February, mention the arrival there of Colonel Campbell on the g3d. He immediately proceeded for the capital with the despatches. Accounts from Egypt state, that several unpleasant oc currences had taken place between the crews of English merchant vessels and the troops in the vicinity of Alexan dria, and in consequence the Puha had ordered two circu lars to be addressed to all the European Consuls resident at that place, detailing the circumstances, and complaining loudly of the conduct of the Europeans. It is reported that the large sums vested as Rest, will be appropriated to building a testimonial to the King, if Ca tholic Emancipation takes place.—D.s in Paper. ENGLA.VD AND THE HOLY ALLIA.VCE. in The f o llowing h:cl iitap letter pea is aed from ra as e ih tra e e mo t mi th nimit e in C n Oni (if t l'at rower,. Frondent in London. The information it professes to give bears such a character of vetisithilittide that he do not hesitate to lay it before our readers : " It is said that the conferences sihich have taken place at Paris, under the auspices of Prince Metternich, have OCCILSiOied communication to be made to Mr. Canning some few daps ago. it is asserted that it Is written in a milder and more conciliate." etre than the preeeding ones ; a strong desire may be seen in it httto displease the British Cabinet. It ia added, that there may be aka perceived in it all the fears which are entertained of the English in. ffuence, ably directed, on the Continent of Europe, if too much resentment was shown for what she had done in Amelia without the consent of the Holy Alliance. " This communication, it is said, 'elates to three distinct odlets: . the emancipati o n o f A merica, the Orally tf Greece, at,d those or Portugal. With regard to the first, it was propose to acknowledge its independence, on condition that the European Powers would, in concert, exert their influence to have placed legitimate Princes on the thrones of the new American States, so that monarchical prin ciples may be upheld, at d, as they say, a great scandal avoided. It has been calculated that the answer of Mr. Canning has been decidedly negative, on the ground that IT WAS TOO FATE; and that besides En rand had r.at to reproach herself, for she had not ne glected, whilst it was yet time, to endeavour to reconcile the in terests of all parties, but that unhappily her warning, inspired br fore&tght, had only met minds either prejudiced or seduced by fatal illusions. " With regard to Portugal, it was begged of the English Cabi net not to undertake anything.which might compromise what had been done for Spain. This proposition seems to explain the silence which has bren preserved fee some time past upon the overtures made at 31adrid concerning the amnesty. Upon that head the answer has been simple. Mr. Canning, et itt said, contented himaelf with de c l ar i ng that fzreat Bri.ain could not, without committing a breach of honour, and manifesting a total forget`ulnem of QM connections and of the faith due to tree._ ties, cease to prove her friendship and p..rticular good will to Per tugal, whose most si ncere so d f ait hf u l Ally she had always Picen but that the King of Portugal should not be obstructed in any thing that he might think necessary to the happiness of his people. in consequence of the promises which his Majesty freely made then) in the months of Msf and June, 11:23, that is to say, at a period when the British influence was certainly not of great weight in the Peninsuia; besides which, the question of the independence of Brazil was too ,intimately connected with the general question of the emancipation of Spanish America to be made d separate discussion. " 6 Lastly, with regard to Greece, the Allies do not intend mop pose the triumph of the holy cause; but that they ehould wish a Continental Prince to be placed at the head of that ancient nation. " It is asserted, that the answer to the last point has bees as pithy at it is noble; the English Government has, it is said, an swered ;bat the Greek Government must be left at liberty to take that course it should judge agreeable to honour, to dignity, sad the interests of its regenerated nation ; and that it wonld be unjust to refuse her the right of enjoying the fruits of the most 'enemas, most constant, and most heroic efforts, to conquer their liberty and independence. Such an answer seems to demonstra'e that Greet Britain does not forget that Corfu is the key of Greece." ELEC7II7 FRANCHISE (IRELAND) BILL. A BILL TO REGULATE THE tttncisx OP TUE ELECTIVE !Law-.

It was confidently expected that there would have been a promotion in the navy this day ; but we are assured from good authority that no promotion will take place at pre sent, as the Lord of the Admiralty conside: the adoption ofthe measure would cause an increase in the expenditure of thirty thousand pounds per annum. We are likewise assured, by the same authority, that the brevet in the army will not take place.—Southampton Ifennld.
