11 i ~; , PAALLIMEIVTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF COMMONS, SATURDAY, Jura 6. The Speaker took the Chair at four o'clock. • IRISH CORPORATIONS. Mr. BROUGHAM applied for leave to bring in a Bill to amend an Act of Geo. 11. callel the Irish Corporation Act. The Hon. Gentleman observed, that in past times many of the inhabitants of • towns in Ireland had been disqualified, either on account of their conduct or opinions, from becoming members of corporations, and the consequence of such exclusion had been the introduction of non-residents, who was not otherwise qualified, according to the charters, as members. Of late years, however, many of those dig-, abilities had been removed, and the object of his Bill•was to con.' tine the right to become members of Irish corporations to such as were properly qualified. Leave having been gives, the Bill was brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Wednesday next. COMBINATION LAWS.

We have received a private letter from the French capi tal, dated the rd instant, which contains the following notice 4the health of Louis XVIII.:— •' It is repotted this morning that the Sing is better; but he it Let OA to leave the I' thee." Dutch, Hamburgh, end Flandets Mail., brought ns last rAtht Papers from Berlin, Copenhagen, Hamburgh, BrusT ails, and other places, from which extracts of any political , intetvit will be found in our columns. At Berlin, it ap pears, the proceedings against all secret associations of every sort were carried on with undiminished rigour. Twostu • dent-. of medicine, of the names of Kohler and Sachuse, had ju•,e been condemned, for no other crime, to six years' incar,tration within the walls of a fortress, and were imme diately sent offto their melancholy destination. Frederick Nt"il!istn had also issued& proclamation, prohibiting all his subjects from studying, in the Universities of either Basle cr TuLingcn, in Switserlaud, frost what he ails the perni cious tendency of doctrines taught in the Univerity of Basle, And prohibited associations and dangerous intrigues that suit at Tubingen. It'hat must that govern'. ent be, which eso cnly be maintained by such decrees u these?—From the Hague, under date of the Yd of this month, it is stated, that the Second Chamber of the States-General bad re- 4.-rived a message from the First Chamber, stating that it had approved of the Treaty with this country on the affairs of India.—Frankfort Papers, to the Soth of May, detail strong sensation through 'out Germany, particularly among the Catholics of that ex tended empire. The Government of Wirtetnbcrg, it was affirmed, had suddenly caused the arrest of the Baron de Keller, Bishop of Evar, and his imprisonment in the fortress of Hohenasperg, for having corresponded with the Pope. Nothing relative to the nature of this cor respondence was known, and it was most probably occupied solely with ecclesiastical affairs. This prelate's character is said to be must respectable, and his arrest at present ap pears to be a most arbitrary act.—The Frankfort Papers state, that letters from Smyrna, to the 12th of April, say, that the plague was raging furiously at Cairo, and swecpipg off in its fell progress, more than a hundred persons daily. —Under the head of Brussels, to the 21 of June, the speech of a M. Beclaerts, (luring the debate in the Cham ber on the late Treaty between the Netherlands and this country, rclativlt to India, is given at some length. From its marked allusions to the Cape of Good Hope, the Dutch have strong hankerings after this valuable colony ; but it is indisaolubl: united to Great Britain. BERLIN. MAY 25. The Committee of Inquiry yesterday publicity t the following monitory notice f-- "In the inquiry instituted against the student of medicine Kohler, and the Prirate Secretary Sachuse, it has been judicially decided according to law, that each of them is to be punished by six years imprisonment in a fortress, for being concerned in secret forbidden associations. This sentence, pronounced by two supreme tribu nals, is hereby published by command, as a warning, and the per sons are already sent to their punishment." MAY 29. The State Gazette and our other journals of yesterday contain a Royal Proclamation to the following effect : Considering the pernicious tendency of various doctrines taught in the University of Basle ; and considering it is proved by authentic documents that prohibited assueiattuns and other dangerous intrigues still continue in the University of Tubingen, his Majesty has been pleased to prohibit all his subjects from studying at these Universities, on pain of being declared incapable of lillmg any office, and of subjecting their parents or guardians to being fined."

The Second Chamber of the States-General has received to-day a message from the First Chamber, giving notice that it had ap proved of the Treaty with Great Britain on the affairs of India. JUNE 3. The Second Chamber has discuweed to-day the project of law re lative to the regulation of several financial affairs of the kingt!om, which gave rise to considerable debates, and great difference, of opi nion, so that the law was only passed by a majority of 47 to 42.

A singular event is talked of here, which will affect all the Catholics in Germany, at least if the facts are such as they are re lated. It is affirmed that the government of Wirtemberg has caused the Baron de Keller, Bishop of Evora, to be arrested, and conducted to the fortress of Holiensaperg. He is accused, it is said, of having corresponded with a foreign Sovereign, that is to say, with the Pope of Rome, but hitherto nothing has come to the knowledge of the public relative to the nature of this donee. The Bishop of Evora is in all respects a man of highly respectable character. Letters from Smyrna of the 12th of April say, that the plague which had broken out at Cairo since the late terrible Le, carries off above 100 persons daily. STUTOARD, MAT 29. The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of yesterday, resolved unanimously, on.the moron of M. Cotta (first modems the 24th), that the interest of the public debt shall be reduced from ft to 4i per tient. It deckled, by a majority of 84 to 46, that to e ff ect this re duction, a general invitation shall be addressed to the public cre ditors <except those with whom there are special conventions, fixing the period of re-payment) calling on them to declare whether they will be content with 4i per cent. or whether they 4oprefer being repaid. The Chamber afterwards rejected, by a ma ity of 61 to `.91, the proposal to authorize the admini stration to none notes payable to the beanr, in order to preserve the sums ne cessary to pay the dissenting creditors. Setuiveleausurt, 114 T 19. The Duke of Calvello, Envoy Extraordinary from the King of Naples, has sent official letters to each of the Canonical Govern tnenta,to inform them that he is furnished with full powers to enter immediately into negotiations on the conditions of the military Ca pitulations; he again makes offers in the nameof his Court to all the Cantons, both to those which have already declared in favour of the capitulations, and to these which have rejected them. At the same' titae he declares, that the commercial advantages which the Neapoli- ' tan Government proposed to grant to Switzerland, and in favour of the productions and manufactures of that country, will be conceded to these Cantons only which shall take part in these capitulations. Baussitzs, JUNE 2. We have said, that in the debate on the late treaty of London, M. &leers wished the Cape of Good Hope bad been restored to us. The following is an analysis of that part of his speech : This calory was founded 150 years ago, by the enterprising spirit of the Dutch ; it was at first a mere station to afford refreshments to our ships, and being afterwards augmented by the industry and hospitality of the Belgians, became in the 17th century an asylum 1 for numerous French, driven from their country by religious per. aecution, who brought with them, and communicated their agricul tural knowledge, particularly relative to the culture of the vine- es well as arts and trades, in the Southern promontory of Africa, This colony more resembled a province of the Netherlands, than any other of our foreign possessions, RI its population ,1 language, laws, manners, and customs. It is more attached to the Netherlands than to any other power. I witnessed this: during my residence at the Cape. I witnessed it In 1811, when 1 the incorporation of the Netherland with the French empire was known there--when a remonstrance to the English Govern ment was signed. I was commissioned, in the name of the chief inhabitants of the Cape to present this memorial, the object of which was to desire that the Colony might be assigned as a krefuge for those Belgians who should wish to quit their country now that it was unhappily effaced front the list of nations. I saw the same thing in 1814, when the news of the deliverance of the Netherlands was received with transport by the Africans, who con sidered this event as the forerunner of their re-union with the Mother Country ; and 'lastly I witnessed it in 1815, when the news of the victory of Waterloo, and of the convention concluded at London was renewed; hut these transports were soon moderated by 1 the 'cession to Great Britain. Had it been passible to include in the exchange this Belgic colony, which is but little known, and neglected and disregarded by others, we should not only have re-united with us a country which every way resembles ear provinces, but have afforded great satisfaction to a po pulation of 100,000 souls, most of them descendants of this kingdom—we should have given new life to our commerce and our marine, and found ample compensation for all the expenses of a garrison, he. In conclusion, 111 r. B. expressed his desire that circumstances or events may one day restore this colony to us.— Brussels Papers, Jame 5. Nuremberg and Vienna Papers to the 48th May reached our office last night. The former are almost wholly occu pied, in the article from Greece, with.unmingled regrets for the irreparable loss of Lord Byron. His death appears to have produced the most heartfelt sorrow throughort Greece ; his memory is now dwelt on with the most af fectionate and devoted attachment. " The Senate of Missolonghi (this article says) will preserve, as a sacred treasure, Lord Byron's heart, whose last pulsation was for us." The great poet's life was devoted to the cause of liberty, and he perished in the glorious effort. NUREMBERG. MAT !M. The:Gazette of this city has the following article frOm Greece:— " There is no doubt that if the life ofLord Byron had bees moliingeil, he would have doise incalculable service to the Greeks, by his enthusiastic zeal and his extensive connections. Not only his own countrymen in unexpectedly large number, but other foreiFn ers from all parts of Europe, were called together under the iLgis of his much-respected name. The differences which were likely to arise between the Porte and Great Britain, from the connection of a man of so much importance with the Greeks, allowed us to hope for events, in the course of which Greece might perhaps all at once have &Nuked a tranquil existence, have completely organised its internal constitution, and her fields, drenched with the Wood oilier children, would have rewarded the peaceful labours of the hus bandman. The loss of this magnanimous Nobleman is most deep ly felt. At Missokinghi, the inhabitants of which had the best opportunity of seeing and admiring the extent of his activity, every body is plunged in the most proloend afiktion. if we had lost a great battle the grief at such a misfortune would not have been so general : our country has still sons enough to repel the invading enemy ; a defeat would sully animate them to new victories; but this loss is irreparable, and the animating spirit of a man like Lard Byron, whom fortune, and perhaps his own previous mode of life, had placed in a state of mind, in which lire hod no charms for him, unless enhanced by something estraordinary—such spirit dwells in very few men, and in them perhaps not to their own good. The Senate of Missolonghi wiU reserve as a sacred treasure Lord Byron's heart, •ho s e last pulsations were for us. The body will be sent to England. However we have no reason to despair of the success of our cause. We hay, lately received by N. E. Bisquiere, the mitt of fifty thousand pounds sterling, as the first part of the loan negotiated by the house of lanughnan and Son in London. The report of Colocatroni's sentence was false ; he lives retired at Al issolonglil. The filmier Bey of the Maetinotel, Peter 31auromichaelis, was tried by a Court 3lartial, but acquittep. Niketos. Colocotroni's nephew, amen of honour ar.d a brave soldier, went to Thertnorybe In the beginning of April, to cover the siege of Negropont, which Odysseus has undertaken. The Turkish garrison of that place is reduced to the most • dreadful distress by 1 famine and the plague, so that we may hope soon to be in posses sion of that fortress, ;bleb will ensure us a firm footing in Attica. VIENNA, ?lAA- 23. Ilia Highness Prince Metternich set out yesterday — afternoon for Tyerntee, where he will make only a short stay, and then go to his estate of Johannisberg. We understand that his Highness is expected here in Frankfort by :he 6th June.—Fraakfort Paper:, Mee!: SO. The last accounts front Ptinama, of the 24d of March, contain intelligence, which, if true, as we trust it is, would be decisive of the independence of Peru, without any fur ' ther contest. Canterac, who commanded the Spanish troops opposed to Bolivar, is known to be a decided Con stitutionalist. Ile had asseinbli. d his officers, it is stated, and held a council of war on the state of affairs in Upper Peru. The result was an unanimous resolution, not to acknowledge the absolute Government across the Atlantic, should the Constitution be overthrown. The fate of Spain was not then known in Peru. They had sent a message to the Congress of Peru, the purport of which was then no: made public, to which an answer was given, that no decision could be come to by the C'ongress, until the proposition was submitted to General Bolivar. The message was generally supposed to contain overtures to wards a negociation between Cauterise and his Officers and the Peruvian Government. The British Consul had ar rive4l at Lima, and was received with every possible mark of respect. Every thing at, the date of the last accounts was perfectly tranquil in the Peruvian capital. The greater part of the troops were stationed at Pativilia. The financial " projet" for the reduction of the French funds received its death-blow at the meeting of the Upper Chamber on Thursday. M. de Villele's plan, so long depending, and which attracted such general attention throughout Europe, was rejected by a majority of 120 to 105. The scrutiny took place on the first paragraph of the project of the law, and it was deci sive of all the remaining propositions which were minor and dependent. The other para,graphs were for mally put to the vote also, and as successively rejected. the Peers, for the purpose of conforming to the scantling orders of the Chamber, then proceeded to vote on the final scrutiny, as to the entire project, which was also nega tived. The Upper Chamber, after this important decision, adjourned, without appointing any day for a subsequent meeting. Before the first anti most decisive scrutiny took place, the Minister of Finance (the Count de Villele) ad dressed the Chamber, to explain the intentions of the Go vernment with respect to stockholders of less than 1,000 francs (or 401. British) animal dividend, whose situation, under the proposed reduction, appeared to be a leading motive for the opposition to the law. The Minister of Finance declared, that the intention of the French Minis try was, without admitting any present exception to the law, to propose hereafter the creation of an establishment, in which limited annuitants, of this description, might find a certain investment, at a competent rate of interest. M. de Villele mentioned the " Caisse des Consignations," as an institution applicable to such a purpose, and stated that the associated bankers would be easily induced fo renounce their commission on this portion of the " Rentes." Such an arrange:nein, while it secured to the reduced an nuitants the power of receiving undiminished dividends, to the Ist of January, 1626, would also enable them to await, without loss, the. moment when an establishment might be created to receive their funds. This proposition, however, of the French Minima, formed, as he conceived, to disarm the powerful opposition arrayed against the mea sure, was without effect ; and the law so long agitated in every possible shape, is now no more. The rentes, in con sequence of this unexpected decision, at once fell more than ;two per cent : they opened is the morning at 104 franc, 25 cents. and as soon as the decision of the Upper Chamber was known, fell to 102 f. 10e. Paris on Thursday and Friday was inundated with rumours the most contradictory : it was con fidently asserted at one time, that the Count d'Villele, the author of the defeated "projet" would quit the Ministry altogether; another report was prevalent, that he would merely resign his Wee of Minister, retaining that of President of the Council of Ministers ; while a third re port was as confident that the defeated Minister was still determined to bold his place, and that his failure in the l Upper Chamber was a species of coinprimise between him and his opponents, by which he secured his permanence in the Cabinet, and preserved his lead in the Finance Department. The public feeling was that of high exultation at the rejection of the measure ; and lavish praises were showered on tht i najority who defeated the measure, in the different "Ca " where stock-joebing is 1 I carried on. It is clear that the composition and proceed ings of the two Chambers have completely disappointed the expectations of the French Ministry. The prorosed law only passed the Chamber of Deputies after violent opposition and protracted debates, and it has been extin guished by a majority of the Peens. Whether this deci sion has originated in personal feelings, from many of the latter being large ft:nal:alders themselves, we cannot now pronounce. The measure we alga thought a just and wise one, and perfectly warranted by existing circum stances. In fact it took its rivalrous the great financial reductions effectei in our own funds. If the decision of the Chamber of l'eers wax caused by their reluctance to interfere with the public creditor, sod from a knewlcilge of the heavy presser.: the proposed law would bring with it to the humbler orders of annuitanp, who are numerous I throughout France, the rejection *vends highly to their Ilionour, and must raise the publ . reedit of France in the eyes of foreign nations. It i trange that the reetes, which fell which fell when first important r e d uc ti o n was proposed, should fall again on its final rejection ; but such are the mysteries and inconsistency of the Steck Ex ; change, whether in Paris or this great capital, where these vacillating transactions are so much mom extended. Mr. Brougham, after almost a total silence during the previous part of the Session, brought forward, oil last Tuesday night, his agitating ra tion rcsrcting the unfor tunate Mr. Smith, the Dei,ana Missionary, the ad journed discussion on which stands for next Friday. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, with the discrimination that masks his character, thus seized on a subject that has aroused strong feelings out of doors, to make one striking effort before Parliament was prorogued, and close his career with distinction. The Dissenters are a powerful and a zealous body; they unite large property to great in telligence, 'and a ceaseless perseverance to both. They come forward on every question that deeply interests them with almost decisive effeet, from .their union. On this memorable occasion they wanted an impression to be made, and selected Mr. 'knight= to had their battle, in preference to Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Buxton, or Mr. Bankes The Dissenters In the northern alunties, composing Mr: Brougham's circuit, are numerous and active; their in fluence in Westmorland, which the lion. and Learned Gentleman means to dispute on a new election, is also considerable. Mr. Brougham, by his eloquent and im passioned appeal on Tuesday night, has now conciliated the entire body. They are attached and energetic friends, and will swell the ranks of his supporters when he can vasses Westmorland again. However peaceful their pursuits, they arc of necessity often obliged to come into our Law Courts, and their friendship will not diminish their great advocate's professional income, either in his circuit tour or in his increasing practice in IVestininster hall. Mr. Brougham lost nothing of his high reputation by his address on Tuesday night. he arrayed his charges with consummate art ; he left no topic untouched that could inflame the passions of his auditory; and during a speech of four hours, omitted nothing that could control or agitate a mind of any doubt. In the fervour of his in dignation he described the proceedings under which the Missionary sunk to his grave as " a violent breach of legal protection, a daring violation of justice, and a gross out : rage on all those ordinary forma of justice by which law and justice are wont to be administered." This was s !sweeping denunciation against the whole board of Officers who formed the Court Martial. It imputed to them, and to his Majesty's Representative in Demerara, who assem bled them by his authority. motives the most prejudiced, and conduct as flagrant as unjust. But if the previous thigh character of Governor Murray, or that of President Wray, and the King's officers, who sate on Mr. Smith, Icould fairly subject them to such an imputation, what possible interest could they have in dooming the hapless ' Missionary to death ? They were neither planters tor slave owners—the revolt had brought with it no pecuniary losses to them—they were not enemies to the amelioration of the condition of the negroes, or opposed to the ultimate ex- tinction of slavery•, from long connection with the Colonies, or large property committed in the result. It is true that military law was proclaimed, and in place of a Civil Court, formed of incensed slave owners, the Missionary had to frolic the proceedings of a Court Martial. But such con sequences always follow in the train of insurrection. The unfortunate man had sown a fearful harvest, and he had ! subsequently to reap a portion of the dreadful consequences. We do not ourselves wish to sanction such tribunals in any dependency where British law prevails or British protection is extended: but the terrible precedent was far from being unknown. Does Mr. Brougham forget how many suffered, under the decrees of these Courts, at no distant day, in Ire land? Mr. Smith might have been brought before a Civil Tribunal in George Town, and have lingered for months in his prison, while its slow proceedings went on ; the evidence against him would have been the same, and his conviction have probably been as certain. Would this have been mercy to the unfortunate man, or is this the lingering torture Mr. Brougham dignifies with all the attributes of unspotted justice? The fact is, the Mis sionary was a heated enthusiast; his private journal, and all his conduct during six years that his ministry lasted among the negroes, clearly shewa this ; it was his tem perament; he soma to have inherited all the feelings of the Fifth Monarchy Men, who brought the First Charles to the block. The Missionary Society, whose disinterested labours have been so useful, cannot be involved in any criminality that rests on the memory of Mr. Smith. Had he followed the prudent instructions of those who lent him to Demerara, the evils that attended his ministry would have been avoided; but Ile had formed opinions of his own, and pursued them, reckless of all consequences. Ills Scriptural t •xts and allusions were unsuited to his sable auditory ; those passages from the Old Testament, which describe the bondage of the Children of Israel, and their deliverance from the land of Egypt, were applied by the negrocs to their own situation and sunk deeply in their minds. We admit that some of the precepts of the mis taken Missionary were beneficial; they stayed the scenes of blood that must otherwise have marked the first burst of the insurrection; few murders, happily, were com mitted by the negroes ; they remembered the admonitions of their pastor, and life in general was safe. The spirit of Christianity was so far triumphant. §lhlillli hra an oagurreoce which had created a " Emollit homines Nec sinit else feros." But bad the slaves been successful, how long would this moderation have lasted The tide of revolt would have rolled on, and swept off the Missionary in its progress. He might as well attempt to stay the wave of the ocean with his hand, as to quench by his single breath the furious fires he bad enkindled; plunder and conflagration would soon have succeeded this temporary moderation, and massacre and violation have raged throughout the entire island. For ourselves, we again regret that this agitating subj, et has been renewed ; the protracted discussicn can bring with it no good, and mast be attended with many dangerous consequences. Mr. Wilmot Horton's speech was a triumphant answer to all the declamation of Mr. Brougham. The agitation of this question will do little for the tranquillity of the West Indies.

COW'S, JUNS S.—ROYAL Y•CHT Ccus.—At a Meet ing of this dis:inguiahed Society at Cowes on the Ist of June, six new Members were added to the list by ballot. Two candidates were unsuccessful, from their qualifications being defective-86e yacht beiag and r twenty tone, sad the certificate of registry of the ether, bearing two names as owners, instead of one. The Ho.. norary Members were three Admirals and 18 Captains. The importance of the Royal Yacht Club, independent of the Royal and dignified names on the list, may well be es timated from the known fact, viz. that the aggregate tonnage of the Yachts amounts at this time to nearly 5000, and that 500 seatuen arc employed in navigating the sam.s.—The Pearl cutter, for the first time since her recent new outfit, with the Marquis of Anglesey on board, appeared in Cowes RoAdstead, in full plsoltuele of superior beauty and appearamv, basing all sails set, with a gentle breeze from N.E.

Her application has, however, been rejectest, but no reasan assigned why she is refused. This is strange and mysterious, and we think this lad called upon to explain what cause can exist to provoke such hostility towards her, or why she should be positively de nied a evillest and an appeal to public judgment, whil we cannot think unreasonable.
