IMPERIAL PARwmatir. "..,........ Proust OF etwillirele.P4T. JAI'. Si. The Earl of C& L 'AIM* of the Irish it 'Pram. tative Peers, was swing. and took his seat. Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved the second main of the insolvent Debtors Amending Bill ; it was accordingly read a second time. and. on his Lordship's motion, committed for tn-morrow. A number of Naturalisation Bills were intro duced, rood a fit st time, ittsil ordered for a second reeds* • • Seemed arranensellts were made with respell to itomaig of Appeals. nik.Wi tto oars, from the Commissioners of Naval bo l er o j a p aisch reeented the 'Ninth Report of that Com • was ordered to lie on be '!'able. • - - Ser. Jenesoe, from the Secretary of State for itliend's Once, presented the 27th, Seth. 211th, OS Seth Reports from the Commissioners of Na iFit ' lima Accounts In Ireland.—Ordered to lie on the Tilde- ROMAN CATHOLICS. i 1116 Earl of SUFFOLK called to their Lordships' resonation the notice he had given last Sessions of se intended motion on his part, early in the present, ivistive to the sable& of the Roman Catholics of Isoleadt. His sentiments on this important suhjetl Mlllelbell the same; but their Lordships well knew, that, in the interval, a change of circumstances had tales place, which naturally should have some in fante* CM his mind, as to the course of proceeding he tbtsld take. He alluded principally to the ac pesioa to power of a Minister, who, to a certain de rv'. stood pledged with respca to the Irish Catho lics. This change, with reference to the measure alluded to, would, he hoped, operate favourably for this country, for Europe, and more especially for Inked. As the thing stood at present, he wished, as far as was praßicoble, to ascertain the intentions of Government on :hat important point before he 'bold proceed farther, or to see what steps the Ex ecutive Government should take in the business. Another consideration with him would be the result of the deliberations on the part of the Roman Ca tholics in Ireland; and, should there be no petition from that body. it was his intention to bring forward a motion on the subjeß. His Lordship again ad re ted to what he seemed to consider as the pledge sorer. by His MAjesty'a present first Minister to the nawrian Catholics, and without which, he observed, perhaps, that Minister's favourite projeCt of a union could not be elk3uated. MILITARY LEVIES. Th: East of DARNLEY stated his intention to move for an Aceoti, tof the number of men raised soder the provisions of the AR of last Stssioro call ed the Aildidonol Force Ad. He deemed it import sot that Intel information should be given; and re quested to learn from the Noble Secretary, whether be had any objection to the predation of such an Account, as such answer would oeorroine him as to the tirpe be should bring forward his Motion ? Lord HAWKESIII:RY replied, that, as he had so °Nation to the produßion of the account re quired, it must be a nootor of indifference to him, when the Motion was made. The Noble Earl could draw it up, and provese it immediately, if he thought proper. MR. MisTICE FoX. The Marquis of ABERCORN formally pre sented a transcript of the Petition presented last Session from Mr. Hart, of the County of London derry, in Ireland, complaining of certain parts of the judicial conduct of Mr. Justie.. Also a Petition from certain Jurors and others of the county of Fermanagh, in Ireland. And a Petition from the then High Sheriff of the county of Fermanagh. These %ere in sub stance similar to those presented by his Lordship last Session, and were ordered to lie on the table. The Noble Marquis then preiented his Articles of Charge against Mr. Justice Fox, founded prin cipally on the allegations of the Petitions before their Lordships. Respeaing these, his Lordship Merely observed, that the Third Article of the Charge contained matter in addition to that com prised in the articles of complaint which he pre sented last Session. The matter contained therein was selverted to by him in his speech at the time, theup he had not then sufficiently methodised it tar regular introduElinn, and two if the Articles in the former exhibition were not included in this, for reasons assigned ; btu which, lions the tone and di.- • retion of his Lordship's voice, we could not dis. badly collect. His Lordship concluded by moving that the House do resolve itself into a Caimmttee on Thursclny next, to consider of the prryer mode of pi irk eeding with respect to the Pettlio..s A:id l'Jpers ni.w presented. Atter putting the Question; Toe LORI) Cl I ANCELI.OIt (pitted the wool sack, and observed, that on such an occasion as the present it was important their Lordships should know what it was they should have to take into cos aeration on Thursday next ; it was merely, AS ex pressed by the Noble Martytis's motion, to consider of the best mole of proceeding with respe& to the petitions and peen; just laid upon the table, in re ference to parte( tbe conduit of one of His Majesty's Judges in Irelaask The case, fortunately for the countries, was a novel one ; since the Ail took place, the provision► of which they were to keep in contemplation, while considetisi the very import ant subjea before them. He alluded to the Aa tor securing the independence of the Judges, and which authorised the removal of any st them, in conse quence of an Address from Parliament. He was glad that the Noble Marquis had changed the title of the articles exhibited by him against the learned Judge in question. Last Session they were styled " Articles of Complaint." As it was questionable with bins, whether such, proffered by an individual Pear, was sufficient ground for that House's proceed ing in the way adverted to on former occasions; as the case now stood, their Lord , h;ps would have to consider whether any further proceedings should be adopted in consequence of what appeared before them; and if so, what line of proceeding such should be. The Articles, as the case then precisely stood, /were, he thought, to be regarded as certain aver . mtnts in the Speeches of the Noble Marquis, embo died and thrown into form. At present, the consider ation of the ease was not at all entered into : whether that notice should be transmitted to the party ac cused, or, with reference to the final result of that part of their Lordships' pleesedialp, the concur rence in an address to the Threes apes ibe subjea, he held it proper, *at dolt Lordthips should be fully aware of the satiate, dte step then taken, and what properly should lie the =Ned of their deliber ations to the C,oninsittee on Thursday next. The question was then put and carried, as was a Motion for summoning their Lordships for Thursday next. The Karl of DARNLEY resumed the projett of the levies under the Additional Force Aft. Ile stated his wish for the same information with respell to Ireland. Lord HAWKESBUItY observed, the Noble Earl might, if he thought proper, include both the objeds in ape Motion. The Earl of DARNLEY replied, that the case with respet to Ireland was different. There it ope rated more in the nature of a tax, and in a propor tion, perhaps, different from what was authorised by the Ael'of Union. The Noble Earl then reduced his propositions as above, to the shape of Motions. The questions were put, and the accounts ordered to be produced according l y.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF 4.ILAISAIONS The SPEAKER informed the House, that he and the House had been to St. James's, to present the Address of that House, in answer to His Majes ty's most gracious Speech from the Throne, to which His Majesty had returned the following moat gra cious answer. He then read the answer. Sir JOHN ANDERSON presented a Petition from the Coal Fatlors of the city of London, pray ing to be indemnified for signing their initials in stead of their names at full-length, as required by Alt of Parliament. _ _ _ Mr. JOHNSON, from the Secretary's Office for Ireland, brought up a return of Officers employed ir. certain Departments, pursuant to an order of the House, made the 9th July last. Lord MARSHA M stated to the House, that it was his intention to fix on to-morrow se'nnight as the day for taking into consideration the report on the Middlesex Election. The SPEAKER said, that in order for his Lord ship's Motion to be regularly introduced, the best way would be to have the Resolution of the House passed last session, read pp) . brina, which was ac cordingly done; the substance of which was, " that it being too late in that session, to proceed with the business, it was resolved to take it up in an early period of the present session." It was then, on his Lordship's Motion, ordered, That the I louse will, on to, morrow se'nnight, take the said report into consideration. MAIIRATTA WAR. Mr. FRANCIS rose to make the motion for pa pers; of which he gave notice on Wednesday last, told expressed his satisfaction that what he had to sty would not take up much time, as he could not see any reasonable ground of objection to produce the papers he wished the House to be in possession of. The case was shortly this: In the last Ses sion of Parliament, a variety of papers had been moved for, and ordered, relative to the war then carrying on against she Mahratta Chief. Scindea, and the Rajah. Before the Session was over, the House WAS informed, that that war was terminated ; nevertheless, it appeared, that very soon after the close of the last session, advices were received of another war having commenced with the Mahratta Chief, called Holkar ; and to this war it is, that the papers now intended to be moved for relate. war, he said, had already been attended with many disagreeable circumstances, amongst which, he beg ged leave to mention one fait ; that, in a certain part of India, called the Buldercund, which had been ceded by the Peishwa, a whole party of Sepoys and artillerymen had been surprised at their post, and cut to pieces by Holkar's cavalry. As to the Sepoys, it was true they m'ght be easily replaced ; but, he could assure the House, that artillerymen in India were valuable, and the loss a truly se rious one. He wished to have the whole report of the present Mahratta war before the House, and, en this ground, his Motion was founded. There was another circumstance he wished to mention to the House. In a province of India, called the Guzze rat, which lies to th• N.W. of Bombay, a certain portion of territory had been ceded to the India Company, by a Prince called Gwicowar, ohich, it was generally understood, had been ceded for the purpose of paying the expences attending the war. Out of this fund. he said, it had been cycled, that some payment would be made ; but, instead of pro ducing that advantage, he understood it had been attended with great expence, and that the Bombay Government had actually advanced 260,0001. on ac count of it. This appeared to him very extratirdi nary, and he thought it deserving the attention of the House. I 1 then moved. " 'nut there be laid before the /louse copies or extracts of all dis patches and correspondence between the Govern ment of India, and the Mantua Chief. Holkar ; and also copies or extrafts of all letters, Inc. liom such persons as have carried on a sceret corre spondence." Lord CAS ILE R F.AG H assured t►e House he had no obsidian to the produltion of the Papers moved for; but he thought the Honourable Gentle. man, in making the Motion, might as well have ab stained from alluding to circumstances which, in his opinion, had no relation to the subject at this mo. ment. With respell to what had been said of the advance of the Government of Bombay, that was a subject which would be fit matter of observation on the next India Budget ; and, as to the surprise of the post alluded to, it was only one single disastrous circumstance in the course of / war, and ought not to be mentioned by itself. To the Motion, how ever. be had no objection. The Question was then put and agreed to. Mr. HUSKI,SSON moved, that the I louse re solve into A Committee of Supply, to consider of a supply to be granted to His Majesty, which was Ac cordingly done. Mr. Wat.t.Aea in the Chair. He then moved that a supply he grained to His Majesty, which was agreed to, and the Report or dered to be brought up to-morrow. Mr. HUSKISSON gave notice that lie would, on Wednesday next, in the Committee of Supply, move for an additional number of seamen for the servi-se of the present year.—Adjourned. - THE BRITISH PRESS LON DON, TUESDAY, JAKILIAT 22. A Lisbon Mail arrived in town yesterday morn ing, brought to Falmouth by the D/0 , 44 packet in seven days. The letters are dated the loth instant. The only interesting intelligence they con tain is, that a Memorial had been transmitted to the Court of Lisbon by the Prince of PE ACE, the objeCt of which was go induce that Power to shut its ports against the English. At the date of these ad ♦ices, no answer had been returned. The New foundland fleet, under the convoy of the Camilla frigate, had put into ;he Tagus to repair the da mages which it had sustained during a heavy gale on the passage. The Camillo had captured, and sent for Gibraltar, a Spanish vessel, bound from the Havannah, with a very valuable cargo. It was expelled at Lisbon, that the expedition preparing in England was destined for the protec tion of Portugal. Preparations for a foreign expedition are carried on at Southampton with great aaivity. Orders were received there on Saturday night, for four troops of the 15th Light Dragoons, quartered in that town, to be ready to embark this day. Upwards of thirty transports are now in Southampton river, and 100 more, it is said, will arrive in the course of the week. One thousand artillery are also expeaed there in divisions, to embark from that port. The reports respeeting their destination are various, and contradiaory. Portugal and the Mediterranean have been both mentioned with confidence. The Ist battalion of the lath, or Royal Irish Regiment, which was embarked at Dover on board some small craft, are safely arrived in the Downs, and are now on board the Cesar, E.reter, and Olive Brooch, trans ports, but their destination is allowed to be Jamaica. It will be seen in our Parliamentary Report, that Mr. Husaissos gave notice, yesterday, of his inten tion to move to-morrow for an additional number of Seamen for the Navy. We understand the dispatch of the East India fleet, which was expelled to have taken place yes terday, has been postponed, in consequence of an accident which has happened to the Warren Mein., Captain LA nit ; this ship, on Friday night, in violent gale of wind, in the Downs, drove from her an chorage,and ran foul of the Edda f Alarovenny East Indianian; the damage sustained by her is mate rial; her quarter-gallery was carried away, the stern gallery much injured, and the poop unshipped, with some injury in the gun-deck ; the only damage sus tained in her rigging was the loss of the driver. boom : it is not expeSed that she will be able to proceed to sea in less than a fortnight, as it will be absolutely necessary for her to go into har bour to repair. She will, most probably, go on to Portsmouth ; but whether the dispatch of the remainder of the fleet As ill be delayed till the Warren Maim:, is repaired is uncertain. The other ships which compose the fleet were last night in the Downs, but the wind being fair, it is supposed they have proceeded to Poi tsmouth,whence they will he dispatched.
