The former petition was resisted on the ground that, after the petitioner's conviction a forged pro tection 11311 been found among his papers. This statement wee denied in the present petition, the object of which was to call for certain documents rela.ing to the petitioners case. The lien. Gentlemen opposite might consider this case as itifro etivindere, but he (Mr. Dunn) regarded it as one of the hardest could be iniagined. After a life spent la his country's service, In which he had lust oceans, the petitioner now found himself in danger of perishing for want, and In ins (Mr. Home's) judgment. on a fair and cool consideration of the whole question, there could be nu doubt that the petitioner hail been the victim of a conspiracy. Mr. CHOKER said that this petition, on every . account, de. owed the attention of the House.

Of this the treaty of Java afforded evidence; and in the late treaty the Grecian Archipelago had been quite shut out, and a monopoly of the trade it afforded ceded to she Dutch.

If so, shy keep De merara Mini them, and the other places lac appropriated to our selves:' Surely Demerara was of more importance to them than it was to us. The treaty ofJava, In his opinion, wasenteted into with an utter ignorance of the interests of England, otherwise it would not have contained the conditions, and provisions which were to be found in it. It was the grossest blunder of diplomacy which had °c areered fur a lung time. 'Die conduct of Government towards the Faterlialt settlements In the East Indies was only to be compared to the manner in which we acted towards Ireland ; In the one Instance, as in the other, we sought to establish a power and influence. not by what the interests of the community suggested and required, but by a brute force, which was remedy resisted, and remtlin unpopular and unacceptable.

Thk thquisition of Sincapore was not, n•his opinion, by 1"Y means an etiuivalent foe what we had sustained in substantial lees by the =soh of Bencoulen, and the other advantages which this treaty gave away.

We insert, to-day, some further extracts from the First Report on the Districts in Ireland, which are subjected to the provisions of the Insurrection Act. It is the opinion of many that, without the continuance of this Act, there is no hope of tranquility to Ireland ; while others are of opinion, that it can never be effected through this means, mul that this desirable object must be sought through other, and very different, measures. The two opinion!, however, arc perfectly consistent, for they both imply that the Insurrection Act alone can never put an end to the disturbances which agitate the districts over which it ex tends : and in this we perfectly concur. We consider its continuance as essential omen!' putting down the medi tated mischiefs of those leaders try whom the peasantry in these parts arc inflamed and Misled. but were it enacted is it would never do more 'than repress the open display of disaffection : it nosy prevent its breaking out in violowe and bloodshed ; but the general principles of good government, and their practical application, can algae pro duce that spirit of faithful and willing obedience to the laws, and that heart-felt attachment to the Btate and its rulers, which is the true foundation of the prosperity of a country. It is impossible to find a substitute for these in the watchfulness of a police, or in the act city of per.il The (Altman (Mr. I'OURTENAY) said, that would be tha business Maxparate Committee. Mr. CAN:UM! said, that when • ease could be made out, it would be tints enough to movide compensation. Alter a few words Irma Mr. Wyssx and Mr. BwtouT, the Bill wee reported without amendment, and ordered to be read • third time this day. statutes. • Such resocrces are in their very nature tempo rary. They,piay answer the purpose. till the proper remedy v in e d, but to have recourse to them as the remedy is an error,which uo somitl Statesman can fall irto with his eyes open. It may be, that in the vreseut efill:3 of in Ireland you can do nothing frdhont the Insurrection .let ; but to expect to tin every thing relit it—no man in power, giving his understanding fair play, can so impose upon himself. 11 . 1iile the n,ass of legal disabilities which gall and afflict the Catholics are suffered to remain, how can you hope to cure the hostility nivel dis affection that grow out of them ? You Lrep up the causes (fence, and provide an Insurrection Act to keep down the consequences! Nothing but absolute insanity can excuse such a course of proceeding. Give the Catholic his constitutional rights as a British suture', and if after that he does not give you, in teturn, a etnistitutional obedience to the laws, punish him as he will well deserve, and as your own conscience then may well approve and justify. But do not excite him to take part in the troubles of his country, and then punish the rebellious feelings you pro ' yoke. To do so is not humane, nor generous, nor just. Is ' Ireland to look forward, in its endless generations, to the continuance of the convulsions which have so long and so grievously afflicted it ? Look steadily at the state of this, line and fertile country, and reflect on its condition at this enlightened era, and after a lapse of six centuries of civil government ! Can proof beyond this be wanted to show i that the purposes of civil government have been perverted? Ireland, happily for itself and the United Empire, has at I present a Lord Lieutenant nest disposed to yield to this perversion ; happily, too, there are several members of great weight awl lead iu the Cabinet, who fully concur with his Excellency in carrying the spirit of the Constitution into the Sister Kingdom, and in making the public force effectual to the maintenance of public order, as combined with the political existence of its Catholic subjects, and the fair enjoyment of their natural and motel/ rights. The public conduct of Loan IVELLESItY has throughout evinced, that his anxiety is not merely to govern in Ireland, but to govern well, and in the spirit of equal justice. In reading the following evidence given before the Committee, we paused—as the reader will do—to reflect on the practical benefits which would long since have arisen to that ill fated country, had former Loan-LIEUTEN•NTS been go-'i verned by the same spirit, and guided by the same views— Whenever any doubt has arisen in point of law, have yon found an anxious desire on the part of the Lord Lieutenant to give the benefit of it to the prisoner ?—Afoet andoarbiedly. In tug case it was agaismi my opinion. I reported the cue to his Excellency after the trial. The Attorney-General for Ireland was not there at the time, and I consulted the Solicitor-General upon it; and I reported to his Excellency, that the Solicitor-General concurred with me, that it came within the Act of Parliament. I saw his Excellency shady afterw l ards. Ile told me hr had pardoned him. I told his Excellency I regretted it very much ; that ho was an ' extremely bad member of society, that be had made an attempt to murder a near neighbour just before. " Probably his Excellency might have a constitutional Adis'', that bad character ought not to convict a man of a aims, As facts not coming strictly within the Act' Yes. exactly so. His Excd lency said—' His being a bad character would not justify his con viction; and in which I dare say theSolicitor-Uencral and you are right ; but it comes so close to a case of acquittal, and the Act ism penal, I thiak it would be improper to let the sonviction stand.'" It la 'refreshing to observe authority thusexereised—to observe it exercised in the /Sighed quarter, to controul what ever would lead to injustice even towards the lowest and !tint protected individual. There is a yowler means of re form open to Ireland :--remove gradually, and by a mild and generous system, thee* legal diashititiniPhich destroy the bond of civil union—which embitter private society —which divide the interest, of public men—and which split the kingdom into parties, ready everywhere for con tention, and ripe at all times for,hostility. To the means most effectual to this end, it has been the earnest aim of Loan WILLCSI.ZY to give effect ; and the success which his perseverance—in spite of all counteraction—has al ready obtained, will draw upon him the blcming of his own day, and of posterity. Two series of papers, on the subject of the slave trade, have, within a few days, been laid on the tables of bout Houses of Parliament. The first series of these impor tant papers comprises the correspondence of Mr. Secretary Canning during the last year and the present with Sir William A'Court, the British Ambassador at Madrid ; with Mr. li'ard and Sir Edward Thornton, at Lisbon ; with Sir Charles Stuart, our ambassador at Paris ; with the Earl of Clancarty, at the Court of the Netherlands ; besides that with Mr. Chamberlain, the Consul-General at Rio Janeiro, and of Mr. Stratford Canning, the British Ambassador at Washington, which includes the interesting correspondence between the latter and Mr. Quincy Adams, the American Secretary of State, ou the proposition of the mutual right of aearclt by hoth nations, and the resolution subsequently adopted to make the traffic in slaves piracy. The second aeries of these papers comprises the coalman'. cations of Mr. Canning with Messrs. Gregory and Fits. 'gerald, the British Commissioners at Sierra Leone, respect. ing the continuance of this nefarious barter by the subjects, of Spain, l'ortugal, and the Netherlands, with the Right Honourable Secretary's correspondence with the British Commissioners at the llavannah, Rio de Janeiro, and 941= rinam. This voluminous eJrrespondence with our Ambas sadors at almost every Court in Europe, and with the Commissioners and Consuls of Great Britain throughout' one half of the globe, thews the unwearied efforts made by Mr. Causing to extinguish, by all the power and influence or Great Britain, the remnant of this infernal traffic still preserved by the different powers of Europe. The atten tion of the Right Honourable Secretary to this important subject Las been ceaseless. Amid the multiplied con cerns of his high station, the sacred rights of hu manity have never one moment been forgotten ; they have always been uppermost in his mind. Loud and repeated complaints have long been made, of the way in which France, Spain, and Portugal, disregarding the solemn treaties they had respectively signed for the extinction of the trade 'in inhuman victims, still suffered this iniquitous traffic to be sanctioned by their flags, and Africa to be desolated by the inhuman barter. We find accordingly Sir Charles Stuart, in May 1t4.23, remon strating strongly with M. Chateaubriand on this out rageous violation of the rights of humanity, and laying before him unanswerable documents from the British Go- rernor of Sierra Leone, with the deposition of an Eu ropean inhabitant of that settlement, spewing—" That the trade was them carried on to a greater extent than at any former period—that no less than fourteen French vessels had completed cargoes of slaves at the Gaines within the short space of four months—that every port along the coast, not actually in the possession of treat Britain, was frequented by vessels under French colours, employed in this trade; and that their undertakings were encouraged by the natives, under the pet suasion that the trade was lawful, because the respect due to the flag of France, caused the British cruisers to allow it to be carried on with impunity," A subsequent digpa:ch from Mr. Smectary Canning to bir Charles 'Stuart, dat.el in June 1523, trick-sea the copy of a ki te? from Mr. Parkinson, the British Consul at Ptrnsaitheo4, giving a fresh instance of the continuanc e of the !table. traffic, by the subjects of Frans., and ths unwar. rentable conduct of M. Lane, the Fretic4 vice Comml at that port, respecting a native of the lonian Isles, charg e d with assaulting the mate •of a French slaver. Thi, vessel, he Trident, Mr. Parkinson states, was built at Havre, and registered at St. Pierre, in Martinique; lee hurdle n was 75 tone, and the owner's name Armand, a re. silent in Martinique ; she was licen3cd in due form tote's:, but in the margin of the licer.ce a special permission tem tend her voyage to the Island of St. Thomas, was si geed by the Port Officer of St. Pierre. She made, it appea rs, di rect for Africa, and on quitting the River Botany, wh et , her slaves were purchased, Mr. Parkinson'e letter w ake the horrid fact, that one hundred and eighty-one bale were packed together within this wretched nons. estm schooner of 73 tons. The Muter of the slave skip (th e letter adds) had no reason to complain of having be ets re _ mired by his Consul as a violator of the laws of France, and the official register described him as corning from Mar tinique with one hundred and odd passengers. Th e French Vice-Consul, on being remonstrated with, declared that he had no official knowledge of the vessel hari ng brought in slaves, and that he bad no instructions how to act in such a case. This flagrant instance of connivaace lon the part of the French authorities at this iniquitou s hater, is only one out of the many ceaselessly occurring. The flag of France has long been disgraced by this tratc, and those of Srain, (Portugal, and the Netherlands, har e been equally connected with it. America alone has acted I with good faith and decision, though the jealousy of her maritime rights prevented the concession of the right of search. An Act of Congress of the 13th of May ISie, sanctioned the principle of considering and punishing the African slave trade as piracy; that principle has sins been adopted as the basis of a treaty between America and this country, each nation undertaking to urge the adoption of the same principle .upon France, and the other maritime nations of Europe, in the manner most conducive to its ul timate success. Nothing else can put an end to this she minable traffic, or redeem from violation the sacred rights of justice and humanity through the civilized world. The papers on this subject presented this Session to Parliament are a monument of the industry and abilities of Mr. Can ning; the eentiments they speak are honourable alike to his head as a statesman, and his heart as a man. A Brazil mail brought us papers yesterday from Ri o d e Janeiro to the 18th of April, and the ',dependent( GU *Maw ionil of Bahia to the 3d of May. They arc filled with details, which will be found In our columns, of the cere monies attendandant on Don Pedro and his Empress' swear. Mg to the maintenance of the Brazilian Constitution, on the Irith of March. The burning of the theatre at night is again repeated. The piece represented, it appears, us " The Life of the Holy St. Hermengild," and at the ma ment when the saint was about to ascend in a blaze of gloty, the scenery around caught fire, and spread so rapidly, that the crowd coll:cted had hardly time to get out. The dames bursting out on every side, the entire theatre was reduced to ashes in less than two hours. No lives, however, were lost, and the Emperor and Empress had quitted the dan gerous scene before the occurrence took place. The Em peror on that day solemnly swore to maintain " the Catholic Apostolic Borneo Religion, and the integrity and indivisibility of the Empire, and to cause to be observed, as the political Constitution of the Biazilian Nation, the ptoject of the Constitution which he offered, Amid which the Nation accepted, and requested that it might immediately be sworn to as the Comstitation either Empire ; (be sweets) also to observe all the laws of the Empire, and to promote the general welfare of Brazil is the utmost of his power.' At the theatre, Don Pedro, to assure general feeling as to his attachment to the independence of Brazil, was thefirst to ory " Long live our Constitution !" which he repeated several times, and was answered by the crowded au dience. The orchestra struck up the national hymn, composed for the Emperor, after which Don Pedro cried out, " Our perpetual independence," which was answered by popular shouts and repetition as before. A Decree of the Emperor's, dated on the .sth of April, &- clues, that considering the Constitution had been swan to at the request of the majority of the people, that it is therefore necessary to elect Deputies for a new Constitneet Assembly, as prescribed in the Decree of the 17th of No vember, the Emperor orders that Decree to be considered as of no effect, and ordains that the people should elect Deputies to the Legislative Assembly, according to the form of the instructions annexed to the Decree, which are contained in several papers that follow. Either Don Pedro Is sincere in all these professions, or he must be one of the most profound dissemblers that ever wore au imperial crown. A Dutch Mail brought to our office Frankfort Papc.s last night, to the 11th of June, and papers from the Hague to the 13th. They contain nothing of any pc- Mail importance worth noticing. Extracts of any thing of any interest well be found below. F AAAAA oar, 'rim 11.
