By the debate of 'be not :couceive that-all had hero gained to whielo'he and his friends were entis +4l; but lie considered that they had, by that he. hale. tomed one tioint-411ey'liad at least prevented the, Right lion. Gent. (whoinfie was very far from sir.pecting oT sloth. a deliberate intention) from further infringement of the Act of Union. The ground upon which lie had stood upon that even tog had been the Act of (Joint', and the Act of Uilion only. He had argued that by that Act the liish distiller had as much right to bring masnifac. tared spirits into the British market as the English manufacturer had to bring torts or shoes, or any other commodities, into the Irish market. He ar gued on the great source of danger that it would be to Irish manufactures and trade army infraction ' of the terms of the Act of Usiion should be at tempted. It might no; be of any great import ! ante just at present, because there was very little commerce of any kind stirring; but if circumstances should alter so as to offer an op portisiiity fur reviving the trade of Ireland, such a disposition to infringe the principles of that Act must bring injurious and ruinous consequences to the whole people of Ireland. He hoped, therefore, that the Right Hon. Gentleman would not Kotler himself to be induced to tusks any such attempts from the representations of persons who were either inirresteil, or otherwise prejudiced upon the ques tion. •Adverting to the preview debate, he thought that the Noble Lord (Castlereagh, had asserted that it should not be required of the lrislj distillers to reduce the strength of their spirits to 9.2 degrees below proof, as reqnired by the Bill. He thought that the Noble Lord had declared in substance, if not in terms, that they should have the Act of Union, and nothing short of the Act of Union. He complained of the injury inflicted upon Ire land by the Spints Intercourse Bill, which con tinued the only objectionable clauses of the 54th Geo. 111. Ile complained also of the injustice inflicted by the effect which the Bill would have on all spirits extracted before the 9th June last ; he was sure it was now too late to apply a remedy. There were two modes by which Ireland was in jured-by restrictions imposed on the admission of spirits here. or by regulations at home. The ,first wa. 'initially repealed, but he was sorry to say that the other seemed to be attempted in the prin ciple of the Bill before the House. He would object to it its every stage as a measure most un just, and he hoped that not only this, but all other impediments to a free trade, would be removed early in the next Session of Parliament. Lord CASTLEREAGH explained his observations upon the debate of the 12th. He intended it to have been understood, that in his opinion the Act of the Union ought to be given coapled with the English Law as it then stood. As lie understood the question, Irish whiskey had never been allowed importation, lint at the reduced rate of 24 degrees below proof. Undoubtedly if the law was cramped by the Act of the 54th. that might be a fair subject fur discussion in the next Session. A legal proce dure, which was then pending. had been alluded to, and the decision had been referred to as a mean of determining the question, whether the reduc tion of irish spirits were legal and necessary or not. If the decision on that case were still unsatisfactory. on account of the existence of the 54th Geo. 111. perhaps the best way would he to repeal so much of that Act as related to distillation and the trade in spirits. and, then wait the result of • legal pro cedure.. by which a decision might be obtained as to the fairinterpretation of the Act of Union. The SPEARER then left the Choir, the Bill passed the Committee, and the Report was brought up and agreed to. Mr. ettletiEsTrat pressed-the necessity of grind ing full time fur the parties interested to petition the House. if they should deem it necessary, against the Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER signified his evillinguess to give time for the Irish Members to consult their constituents upon the Bill. Mr.-CuicilisTEA suggested that the farther con sideration of the Bill should be postponed for that purpose s till after the Christmas recess. The CnAlit ELLOR of the EXCREQVIR said. that Its bad no wish' to proceed with the Bill, till the nowise should by fully prepared for the discus -1 sion. Ile would therefore move the further consi derelict!' of the Bill on that day three months. The Report was ordered accordingly to be taken Into further consideration that day three mouths, and in the mean time to be printed. The Small Stills Bill went through a Commit tee, and the further consideration was postponed to the sante period. The Licensed Stills Bill went through the same stage, and the Report was referred to the Ivillle petted. ....A Atemage from the Lords announced their op tical. after several amendments, to the Insolvent Deno& Bill, and the bolt Court of Chancery Bill.. , . PETITION FROII TIIE CITY OF DUBLIN. Lord thtScatcvott presented a l'etitiou from certain Inhabitants and Freemen of the City of Dublin, cosuplairtiog of several acts of military yip lente*perpetrated by the horse police, and part of the civil force, during the late election. The Peti tionera•stated the proceedings, as they have already gppeored in oar Paper, and more particularly de scribed the classing of the Sessions-house, mild the • arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Robert NVilliarus fur endeavouring to allay the tumult. They com plained that these acts were committed to aid the pretensions of site of the candidates, viz. those of 1 T. Elks, Esq. Master in Chancery, and to intimi date the friends of the popular candidate, Henry Gretteu, E. from appearing at the hustings. The Petitioners eamplented of these proceedings as vio lations bf the freedom of election, and besought the House tis 'take such steps is. were calculated to remedy the grievances complinied of, inid prevent their recurrence. On the motion that it should lie on the table — Mr. ABERCUOMBY suggested • doubt as to whe titer It most tint be considered as an election peti tion, iii which case it was too late to receive it. It eerteinly contained other allegations ; but it was ed of military outrages. independent of its ailega lions respecting the election. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. On the motion that it should he p►inted-- Mr. TIERNEY mid, that it would scarcely be possible to mime a day for taking it into considers. lion in the present state of Parlisinent ; but he hoped there would be a distinct understanding that it should be taken up on some future occasion.— The House were bound to examine into the matter. to decide which party was tight and which wrong, and to which the discredit of party violence did really attach. The CHANcELLoR of the EXCHEQUER doubted whether the Petition, being an election petition. could be received. Mr. TIERNYY knew that in all matters relating to elections, lietitiorss must be presented within 14 days after the dose of the election. lint that sure ly ought not to prevent the Home frogs taking other serious matters coutained in the Petition into consideration. Mr. V. FITZGERALD thought the l'etition en titled to consideration. The Petition was ordered to be printed. . Mr. Alderman Wouu held in his hand a Peti tion signed by one individual, nn beliilf of the town of Birmingham. It was , the -Petition of one Ed munds. Ile knew that he could only present it as the Petition of an individual. It was very long, but he had not had time to read it. Ile under stood it stated many grievance% especially against the last Parliament. • He could not pledge himself as to the character of its language, though Ise bad reason to believe that it was respectful. If read, the House would be able to determine for itself if the Petition were fit to he received. The Cita:scil.t.oll or the EXCHEOVER suggest ed that the lion. Alderman lisd better withdraw the Petition, acquaint himself with its language and contents, and if he thought proper present it again to-morrow. Mr. Alderman WooD was not aware that the House were to meet to-morrow, or lie would not hare troubled it now. lie withdrew the Petition. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, that the House do agree to the Lords' amendments to the Insolvent Debtors' Bill. Mr. AnettcaostitY thought it hard that the House should be at once called upon to agree to these amendments, without an opportunity of know ing in what they consisted. Fur aught the House knew, they might seriously affect the principle of the Bill ; therefore, lie judged it proper to sue that the House, by agreeing to the motion, did not pledge itself to tlie-vvßitual 'approval of these amendments, and that the subject would be n pre per one for the consideration of Parliament, next t;ession, if it were necessary. Mr. THOMPSON also objected to the hasty man ner in which the House was called on to agree to the ameiiiiments. The AvVousi ET-6 FNMA f. ellpfeligelil his belief that the aineudinents slid wit go at all to the prin ciple of the Mll, but merely to the details ; and he thought that sonic of them bail been adopted old that day. He had made the motion because he wished that the country should nut be lett with out an bisolvelit Debtors' 11111. The subject would be open I'r the consideration of Parliament in the ensuing SCIO.IIIII, but certainly in the niters val. some Bill was better than none. Alter a few words from Mr. W. S3IITII, Mr. W. CouteresiaT observed, that so for as be understood the amendments, they did not go in contravention of the principles of the Bill, bet merely to the mode of currying them into effect. He looked upon the Bill, as it 11(41, PLUM to be an improvement of the law, rod that it was too much to say that the :imendinents were a complete alter*. tiun of the B•l1. Mr. CAkcaser haeingsat on the Conmaittee ott whose Report the Bill bad been founded, could not but say that it was too much to expect the llouse to pass the amendments without knowing the na ture of them. But tokens for truth the statement e For the House p a determine. if those respecting the Made by the non. and ten Centlellob.

EVACUATION AND DSIRNING OF RIO OR LA HACHE BY TH-E.INDEPENDEN By the arrival of the vessels on Thureday twirl yesterday from Rio tie Is Noche, we have been furnished with some accounts of the movements of tlor Independents on the Spanish Continent. it appears that an erizsgement took place on the 45th ult. between the Royalipti. mid the Independents, the former commanded . . by Colonel Sandie's de Lints, and the latter by Colonel Montilla After having been warmly engaged for two hours with an army of ‘2,7013 men against 700, the Royalists ►r. treated to 'Morino, with the loss of 1/30 then. The Independents lost 30 men in killed and wounded. At the terrninat►on of the above contest, the officers of the Independent force. applied to 11 for their pay, lost he did riot comply with their dr• timid, and being afraid that they would continue against him, he embarked than, after having pre. vionsly taken sway their arm., cu board the bri gantine Lord Rodney, schooners Enterprise •and Cordelia, and sloops Dosh and General Drum mond, and then sailed from that port. The town of •Rio de la Ilache war set fire to m► the night of the 4th instant, and the fort blown rap on the following day, which is *appalled to have been done by the orders of Bruin at the time he was preparing to proceed to sees. Ili% destination is not positively known, but it is conjectured that he has gone to St. Uonriu go. The town of Alvoirs„ near Rio de la Ilache, was set fire to and burnt on the 15th tot. by the lode dendents. The troops evinced a good deal of in sethorditastiou, and all commouicatiwn was cut otl with the interior. Colonel Moutillo went on board the Andinetta (Brion'. flag-ship). on the 4th inst. and Captain Chitty acted as Flag-Captain in that %asset. Colonel Montilla, after the action of the 2511 t ult. harangued his men, and endeavoured to per suade them to march against Santa-Martha, pro wising them lull pay, as soon as the town was Wirt', as hr expected remittances from Jamaica.— The soldiers, however, would not agree to this proposal. It is stated that a most disaracrful scene or plun der took place at Rio de It liache, and that every thing of value was carried off by Brion and his fol lowers. The principal part of It was petit on board the schooner Kate, and it is said that she proceeded fir St. Domingo, as well as the sloop Putty, which vessel left Rio de la fiache with the intention of re , tun ssss to this island.

RAY, RECENTLY •REI%F.D AT BAISTO " As this island is near to the Main, I expected I should have frequently received information of what was passing there, whilst I remained here, by vessels going to and returning from Angostura; however, it appears that the Royalists have berii alarmingly successful in capturing vessels in the Oronoco, and the mode of payment practised to Angostura, per force, being only in mules and other cattle, is so very unsatisfectury, that there vs no trade carried ou by any merchant in this isl ind with that city, consequently Ito news comes bete direct, and it is very probable it mss reach Englicol as soon as Toissided !

The Royalist force in the interior of the country is not very numerous; they appear to be careless of the interior towns, and tot be well satisfied with keeping pososesaion of almost all the important ports on the coast wherein they are supposed to have about IG,OOO well orgstoosed soldiers, " The Independent forces are estimated at about the same number, the one-half of which are said to be gond soldiers, and to be provided with every article that is necessary; hot the other half are poor tniserable devils, unclothed, excepting a sob. simian: for the lig-leaf; very few of them are armed. or have proper accoutrements; they but seldom get rations served out to them ; and for food, they almost entirely depend on their success in catchinK wild bullocks ?! !
