i 4 k( M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT moved. as an addition to the amendment, that the parties indemnified should, on receiving their indemnity, formally renounce all pretensions contrary to the Charter. The proposition was received with general murmurs, and got rid of by the previous question. The whole law, la amended by the Chamber of Peers, was finally passed by a majority of 241 votes against 130. li'hen it was originally adopted by the Deputies, the majority consisted of 259, and the minority of only 124 votes. The decrease of the majority and the increase of the minority are both proofs that the measure becomes more unpopular on every fresh discussion. The Ebile, dated Monday, contains a long dissertation, the object of which is to show, that though there may not remain a battalion of Royalists in the late American Colo nies of Spain, her authority may yet be re-established ever them. The Spanish colonists, the writer observes, are not like the people of the United States, descended from puritans and dissenters, who hated all religious and political authority. The latter would, under any circum stences, have separated from England as soon as they bad the power, in order to throw off their allegiance to a mo rarchical government; but the Spanish colonists are the children of men who considered it as their highest boast to be Cetholics and Spaniards, and who, far from leaving Ce.ir country out of hatred or contempt fur its institutions, !ett it only to extend its glory and renown. The writer infers, that identity of manners, sentiments, and religion, se fit ultimately induce even the insurgents of Colombia to pace themselves—if not under the authority of the Mother Country—at least under that of monarchy and religion. It is no doubt a fact, that the people of North and South America are not more different in their origin than they are in their political and religious opinions and rational character; and by almost the lowest degree of wisdom or justice, on the part of Spain, this difference might have been converted into an instrument by which, if she could not have prevented the independence of the new States, she might have secured to herself snore advan testes than she ever derived from them when in subjection to her. But no sane man can believe, that after achieving their deliverance, and tasting its benefits, they will solicit t!.e restoration of the absolute government of FERDI NAND VII., which, in twelve months, would render their eeuntry one wide desert. The following are extracts from t`he Madrid Gazette:— We learn by authentic despatches from !Vanilla, that on the 13th November lied there appeared before that port a corvette of 2C guns, coming front Guayaquil to surrender to the government of the legirimate Ri-g. There was not a single Spaniard on boanl of this vowel, which was part of the revolutionary navy of Peru. The Goverr.mcer of the Philippines had given orders for the cor 'ware rn sail for Cadiz in the month of January, under the command of Don Benito Ortiz, an officer of the royal navy. Desoatehes have been received from the Ilavannah. dated the 24th rebruary. They announce, that on the 16th of the same mouth the expedition which sailed from Ferrol on the 7th of De cumber had entered that port tin the 16th of that month. The ar'val of the Royal troops, which are in the most satisfactory con ifition. has given the most lively satisfaction to, the inhabitants of Cot a. it was stated yesterday, on what was deemed good authority, that Count Caro DISTRI A would shortly be called to a seat in the Russian Cabinet. Every fresh po litical arrangement on the Continent gives rise to some ru anours of meditated changes in the policy of the Great Powers ; but, as experience should teach us the absurdity of ascribing too much importance to the official appoint ments, originating in most instances in the ordinary course of events, we are not disposed to repeat what we be lieve to be the groundless reports that were spread on this occasion. • We have received Calcutta l'apers tothe esti, of Decem ber inclusive. The following is an extract from the John Ball : " The despatches from Sir Archibald Campbell mention the evacuation of Pegu by its inhabitants, but are not so full on the cause of its desertion as we could have wished. Its male popula tion was perhaps in the ranks of the Bundoolah, and the women and children removed on the approach of the English, and, as cos to-nary, kept as hostages for the go,xi conduct of their husbands and fathers." As we yesterday anticipated, it was deemed necessary last night to postpone the consideration of two of the mea snres connected with the proposed removal of the disabi lities of the Roman Catholics. The Committee on the Relief Bill is appointed for Monday next. Mr. Secretary Pest gave notice of his intention to take the sense of the House again on the third reading of the Bill. The Right Honourable Gentleman will not offer any further opposi tion until that stage of the Bill; but be reserves to himself the right of making such suggestions in the Committee as he may think proper, with the view of lessening the dan ger he apprehends from the repeal of the disqualifications to which the Roman Catholics are now subject. Lord F. L. Gowsa's motion respecting a provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy is postponed till Friday. After these and come other matters had hem disposed of, Mr. LITTLETON moved the second reading of his Bill for Regulating the Elective Franchise in Ireland. The Hon. Member ex plained that his measure is not, as some of its opponents suppcie, intended or calculated to disfranchise a single in dividual. Its object is merely to regulate the exercise of the right of sufrrage prospectively. The character of the present system of the Elective Franchise in the Irish counties lie justly stigmatised, as being " presplant with perjury anil every vice," and tending only " to debase the people and injury the property" of the country. Mr. LITTLETON rested his arguments in favour of the Bill chiefly on the evidence given by Mr. LESLIE FOSTER and Mr. BLANC, before the Committee, on the state of Ireland. No better support could be had to any act of legislation. The extracts mail: by the Hon. Gentleman seem to us to be quite decisive of the justice and necessity of the mea sure. An animated debate, however, ensued. The oppo sition to the Bill proceeded entirely on that confusion of terms by which the burden of suffrage imposed upon what are c alled the Freeholders in Ireland, is represent e d as a beneficial right, Ariz : a by the wretched individuals pos. ceasing it. Mr. BROL:G eta NI availed himself of the oppor tunity to deelairn at large on all the topics that presented themselves to his vagrant itnsginatimn, seasoning his de fence of electioneering perjury by disorderly ono personal attacks of unusual and repulsive crossness. The House condoned sitting till nearly three o'clock this morning. On the division the Bill was carried by a majority of 48 votes, the numbers being 233 against ISS. The Bill was ordered to be committed on Friday. ;ITT, TUESDAY Evrxma. The transactions in the Money Markets to-day were extresndy /Ignited. In the English Funds, Consols for the Aecount were a shade better in the early part of the day, but towards the elate they retrograded to the quotation of the Private Bargains on the Royal Exchange yesterday. The fluctuations of the day were, 93, 921 and for Money, 91 E. In the Foreign Alarket the little business that was doing in South American Securities was nearly upon the same terms as yes terday. Mexican Scrip was at discount to par. and Colombian Bonds to 9U. There was no real bargain made, that we beard or. throughout the day, in Brazilian Scrip. Mulish Scrip was coo siderzhl; lighter; it was done at 14 1 discount. Greek Bonds were rather languid ; they were at 514, and the Scrip at 4 f. The Old Stoutish Besets were 944, and those of 1823, 19. In the Share Market also business was very ilull; the only quota. firm that i. not mere) nominal is in Anglo-Mexican Shares, which varied from 95 to ltd. I THE DUKE OF YORK'S LEVEE.

Yesterday arrived at Spithead the Portuguese frigate Princess Royal, bringing his Excellency Count Palmella and suite, Am bassador front the Court of Portugal, who, with his Lady and a retinue of officers, landed this day at noon, under a 'salute from the Platform battery, as well as from the Portuguese frigate. His Excellency was received at the Sally-Port by Admiral Sir George Martin. and all the principal officers of the ships at the Port, the staff of the garrison, and a large assemblage of spectators, whom curiosity bad attracted to the spot. The Count Palmella being thus flatteringly received, proceeded, attended by a guard of honour, to the Fountain Inn, opposite which the band of the royal marines played some Portuguese national airs. A guard of honour is posted at the Fountain Inn. Lady Martin paid her respects to the Countess Pelmetla soon after they landed. To_morruw the Count intends visiting the principal ships of war at the port. Hie Excellency will not leave Portsmouth for London until %$ ednesday. The Victory (the flag ship of Admiral Sir George Martin) has had the Portuguese standard hoisted all day, in compliment to the Portuguese nation. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

Solicitor, Mr. Lindsay, St. Thomas's -street, Borough. His Majesty has signified his intention to visit Drury lane Theatre on Monday next. His Majesty intends to visit the Opera House after having been at both the Winter Theatres. We have received letters from Mexico to the 15th of March, at which time everything was perfectly tranquil. We have received a file of Cape Town Gazettes to the 16th of January. The reports of the present harvest were so favourable, that the Governor had permitted the Export of fifteen thousand muids of wheat. The Gazette of the 15th announces the intention of communicating with India by steam. The steam vessel, however, was not com pleted; but it was expected would be launched in a few weeks. By the Bluelirr 2 from St. Domingo, accounts are re ceived of the fatal eff,cts of the late rains in that quarter. One-third of the Cuiree crop is destroyed. The excessive drought in the Nest Indies appears to have been suc ceeded by torrents of rain. . . An elegsnt dinner was given at the Assembly-rooms on Thursday last, by several of the merchants of this town, to Mr. Edward Hurry and Mr. J. D. Powles, of London, as a mark of their respcct towards these gentlemen, both as merchants and as private individuals. Mr. Fowles ' on his health being drunk, entered into an elaborate and highly pleasing view of the present state and prospects of South America, and particularly of Colombia. The number that dined was 74, in the small Assembly-room ; James Losh, Esq. in the chair, supported by William Clark, Esq. and Matthew Plummer, Esq. as Vice-Presidenta.—Newcastk Chronicle. We are requested to state, that the Resolution of the General Committee of the British Catholic Association, to postpone their Open Meeting, was not carried unanimously, there having been one dissentient voice ; the word " unani mously" was inserted by mistake. COMBINATION LAIVIL—A meeting was held at the Exchange, in Dublin, on Thursday last, at which the Lord Mayor presided, to consider what measures it might be necessary to adopt to defeat the formidable combinetions which have disturbed that city. From the statements made by the several masters, it would appear that the operatives have gone the length of systematically writing letters, threatening death to those who refused to con spire with them—that the objects of their malevolence had been pursued by " hired assassins," and that no fewer than " twelve deliberate murders" had actually been committed since the repeal of the Combination Laws. Mr. Finlay addressed the meeting as Counsel for the opera-1 tives. He stated that the outrages which had occurred did not afect the conduct of more than six trades out of sixty, and that the remainder were wholly innocent of them. It was, however, contended, on the other side, that all were implicated, as they had formed a general union. Several speakers pointed out the injurious consequences that had re sulted from the misconduct of the journeymen, and showed, by reference to facts, that it had, in rations instances, driven capital and employment from Ireland to places where those possessing the one, or desiring the other, might find security. Resolutions were passed foe opening a subscrip tion to defray the expense of prosecuting future offenders, and it was agreed to petition Parliament on the subject.

One of the objects of this Association is to remove part a/thew. employed agricultural labourers of Great Britain and Ireland, tit the Settlements of the Association in South America, and to teaks dish them there as independent Farina's. For this purpose a sufficient capital is raised, and ;erratic:* and arrangements are tusking, to enable the Sett'ers to enter seen their work, tree from the impediments and hardships to Stith ald 14 grants, without proper °gemination. are exposed. The first removals will be to the Settlements in the purl/Tee of Entre Rios ; which commence within a few miles from the Vali In Concepcion, and at about one hundred and twenty miles is a (I. rest line from the City of Buenos Ayres, and two hundred miles from the City of Monte Video. These Settlements octant s tun. siderable portion of the finest part of the Peninsula. Tory Ire re. closed by the two great brine tea of the Rio de la Pls•a, viz. the Uruguay and the Parana, which effectually protect the Preriant from the predatory incursions of the Indians. - Vessels of when. tired and fifty tons burthen, navigate both these riv;rs to theism of the Settlements. The country is undulating and diversified sift rood ; the soil is a rich black mould, of which the Association res. seas upwards of a million of acres, ready to receive the r0..n0 oat any preparation. The climate is similer to that of the &lath of France. Both soil and climate are favourable for th; runt ei wheat and other grain ; but the natives are averse to griesitsrel labour, and procure their supplies of flour principally from disant countries. A certain number of young farming men. of god charades if healthy and strong, with their wives, if married, rind rot clarc:sg one child with each couple (unless at their own cost), Mil los on veyed to the Settlements, and the expenses of their voyage cli to advanced by the Association.

ANT SOCIETY far the PROTECTION of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, held April 23, 18'23, • ROBEAT STEVEN, Esq. in the Chair. It was unanimously resolved, I. That this Committee perceive with regret, that the presents. tion of about twenty-five Petitions from persons calling themselves " Protestant Dissenters," against the Itill depending in Parlia ment " for the removal of the diaquahlications under which Ro man Catholics now labour," has involved the thousands of Con gregations of Protestant Dissenters in k;ngland and Wales in the imputation of indifference or hostility to those great principles of Religious Freedom for which their forefathers cobtended, and to which they continue ever attached. IL That the Society, by whom this Committee are appointed, and which includes enlightened and liberal Members of the Es. tablished Church, and several hundred Congregations of Protestant Dissenters of all denominations in England and Wales, have re peatedly declared their belief, "that the right to Religious Liberty is a universd, paramount. unalienable sight—that religious api. nions should not alone quality or disquality for public offices—that all restraints on their expression, by penalties or exelysions. are acts of oppression and of wrong—that the connexion of privileges and emoluments with particular opinions stray create hypocrites or martyrs, but that the unrestricted allowance of all religious opi. nions and diversities of worship, is essential to the rights of con science, favourable to the promotion of piety, and proprwus to the harmony and improvement of mankind." 111. That this Committee can never be unmindful of the need less, oppressive, degrading, and unjust restrictions imposed by " The Test and Corporation Acts" on Protestant Dissenters, nor cease to desire their repeal. But being convinced that the conces sions proposed to be made by the depending Bill will not live to the Roman Catholics in England or Ireland any political advan tage over Protestant Dissenters in those countries, they will not, as Protestant Dissenters, interfere in any manner that may prejudice or prejudge the Bill, but will leave the measure to the wisdom and justice of Parliament, on which, with confidence, the Committee rely.
