HOUSE OF LORDS—WcwagoAv, MAY 16• The Wine Duties Bill, English and Irish Loan Bills, Militia Officers Allowance Bill, with Cune ton's I.:state Bill, and other private Bills, received the Royal Assent by commission. The Commis sioners present were the Lord Chancellor, and Lerd* Hawkesbury and Walsingbam. In the appeal, William Greive o. Lieut. Colonel Francis Cunningham and J Ames Gtey, Mr. Hominy and Mr. Warner were heard for the Appellant. The ferther hearing was adjourned to Friday next. The minutes of the Committee on the Aylesbury Ele&h.ri were brought np from the Commons, and presented by Mr. Alm:ander, in consequence of their Lnrdshi ps' message. Two private Bills were brought from the Commons, and read the first time. A Petition was presented by Lord Walsingham against tie Aylesbury Eleaion Bill, signed by cer tain Eleftors of that Borough.—Ordered to lie on the table. The second reading of the Bill was post poned till that day fortnight. Adjourned to to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS The Speaker and several Members attended in the House of Lords, and heard the Royal Assent given by Commission to several public and private Bills. Anion- the public, were the English and Irish Loan Bi lls, the Wine Duty Bill, the English Militia Officers Bill, the Bill for making a provision for reduced Subaltern Officers of the. - English Mi litia, the Statue .)uty Composition Bill, the West India Dock Road Bill, &c. Mr. YORKE reported from the Committee ap pointed to try the merits of the Petition of Thomas Sheridan, Esq. complaining of an uvulae eleainn aid return for the Borough of Liskeard ; that the Committee had determined that William Huskisson, Esq. was duly eleaed, and that the Petition of Mr. Sheridan ass not frivolous or vexatious. Mr. FOSTER brought up a report from the Irish Exchange Committee, which was ordered to be printed Certain Accounts were presented at the Bar. from the Commissioners of Excise, and Commissioners of Customs in Scotland. Some accounts were also brought up from the Secretary of State's Office. Ordered CO be printed. Mr. ROSE brought up the Report of the Commit tee appointed to try the merits of the Petition of William Huskissen, Esq. complaining of an undue Return, &c. for the Borough of Liskeard ; and he said the Committee had direaed him to inform the House, that they had come to a Resolution, that William Huskisson, Esq. only should have been re turned as a Burgess to serve in Parliament for the Borough of Liskeard. And they had also come to a Resolution, that John Damon, the Under She riff of the County of Cornwall, in annexing to the Writ returned to the Clerk of the Crown, the In denture complained of in Mr. Huskisson's Petition, had aged contrary to his duty as Under Sheriff, and in violation of the Privileges of Parliament. Mr. SHERIDAN said, he should just beg leave to trouble the House with a word or two on this subjeO. It was far from his intention to find fault with the Resolution which the Committee had come to. He believed it was a very proper one ; but as Mr. Damon had, on a former occasion, been charg ed with gross corruption, he was glad to see, by the present report of the Committee, that that charge was negatived, because be was convinced no such thing could be made good ; and he had no doubt but that if Mr. Damon was allowed to be heard be fore that House. he would be able to prove, to the satisfaaion of every Member in it, that his condua did not arise from any deliberate intention of viola tingthe privileges of Parliament. Mr. ROSE replied, that the Committee had made that report, which it appeared to them to be their duty to do. As to Mr. Damon having an oppor tunity of being heard, he must inform the House, that his condua in the business in question had been defended by very able Counsel before the Commit. tee, and therefore no opportunity was wanted, by which be could have vindicated h mself. The Com mittee, upon considering the whole of the case , made be report in quesuon, under the impression that the House would adopt some proceeding in consequence of it, and consider whether it might not he proper to order a prosecution to be earned on against Mr. Damon. The Committee were certainly of opinion, that this man had tided in the manner he did, wilfully and knowingly; and whe ther he had aaed from corrupt motives or not, his condua was the same with regard to the effeft it must have had upon the public. Mr. ROSE then moved, that the report of the Committee, which had just been made to the House, be taken into consideration on this day fortnight, and that the minutes of tie evidence taken before the said Committee, be laid before the House. Ile also moved that the Clerk of the Crown do attend to-morrow, to amend the late return for Liskeard, by taking from the the the indenture sent by the Under Sheriff of Cornwall, and purporting to be the return of Thomas Sheridan, Esq. for the borough of Liskeard. The Committee on the Westminster. Court House Bill was put off to this day st'nnight. Mr. DUNI)AS brought up a Bill for preventing the Sale of Liquors by unlicensed persons in Scot- 'Aid. Read i fiist; and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. 1 The Bill for apprehending Criminal Offenders passing from one part of the United Kingdom to another, was, on the Motion of the Attorney Ge neral, read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted for Friday. Mr. STEELE presented a Petition from certain Linen Merchants in the court!, of Kent, against certain Petitions from Ireland already presented to the House, respeEting the Linen Trade. Ordered to he referred to the Committee on the other reticions. Sir JOIIN NEWPORT gave notice that, on to morrow se'zinight, he would bring forward a Mo tion on the subjea of the Property Tax, so fir as it regarded persons from Ireland who were o'uliged to have a temporary residence in this country. A new Writ was ordered to be issued for a Com missioner to serve in Parliament fur Sutherland, in the room of the Right Honourable William bundas ' who, since his eleflion for the same , h ad vacated his seat, by accepting the office of Secretary at War. Mr. WILBERFORCE put off his Motion which stood for Friday next, relative to the Slave Trade, till to-morrow se'nnight. Adjourned. This Day—Princess of WA Lteg BiabAlay—lioliday at the Public Offices.

The other Irish appointments, we believe, are not yet finally settled. We understand that Louts the XVIII. King of France and Navarre, means to protest solemnly in his own name, in the name of the BOURBONS, and particularly in the name of the French nation, against the elevation of a foreign usurper to His Majesty's throne under the title of Emmaus, by certain individuals, calling themselves the Senate and Tribunate of France, and falsely arrogating to themselves the power to dispose of His Majesty's rightful crown and dignity. In this protest, His Most Christian Majesty calls upon all legitimate Sovereigns to defend their legitimate rank and rights; upon all Europe to defend its independence ; and upon all the world to defend the laws of humanity ; upon all civilised nations to resist the return of Vandalism ; and upon all Christians to unite in op posing atheism and immorality. This protest is said to be written in a spirited and dignified style. We hope we shall soon be able to lay it before our readers. men. We yesterday inserted a sketch of the eloquent Address of the Bishop Assizes to the inhabi tants of his see, which will be read with interest. The want of religion caused the French rebellion, has preserved the French rebellion, and continues the French tyranny. In the fashionable circles of many of the French nobility and clergy in 178 e, re ligion was seldom the subjea of conversation ; but when it happened to be spoken of, it was to turn it into ridicule. Among the mass of the French peo ple, ignorance and immorality walked hand in hand. Frenchmen went to church as to the play ; they kneeled before the Altar of Christ with the same feelings as thry applauded a tragedian upon the stage. The external ceremonies of religion, an.l the religious processions amused them in the same way as the decorations or processions of an opera; and they kft the mass a, they left the farce, enter tained, but neither improved r.c.r edified. The first thing, therefore., 1!e conspiring rebel , of the Constitutional Assembly did, for the de,•rudloo of Christianity, was to deprive religion of its lustre, and the clergy of their riches; and that they h ave completely succeeded, cannot be doubted by any one, who remembers that in I the French natiol l worshipped MA It AT and ROBESPIERRE ; in the Goddess of Reason ; in 179.1, the God of the Theophiluntropes was adored ; in 171)5, Atheit:n was preached ; in 1796, Deism was tasir;onahle, proscribed in its turn, in 1797, by the •)s Atheists of the Jacobin fadion ; in 1798, v.i!,n RoN P A urr led his army into the Mosques of M HOMET, in Egypt, and preached the tenets of pre destination, the Diredory pushed the French Re publicans into the bagnios of the 'llieophilanthro. pists, to hear the dodrine of fatality, proclaimed by regicides, rebels, plunderers, and assassins. After the Revolution. effected by ALT Bo oar Au rr., in 1799, he began to think of the Christian religion, which, his patrons and accomplices, for the eight preceding years, never mentioned but to proscribe, or calumniate. In 1800, the French emigrant priests were permitted to return. In 1801, a concordat was signed with the Pore ; and. in 180 Q, after the peace of Amiens, this concordat was, by a Senuties Comultus, declared a constitutional law. But it was more easy for BOSAPiIt TE to reseal the exiled French priests, than to restore religious principles to a nation, tormented for twelve years by the innova. tions of revolutionary philosophers, or trembling under the daggers of atheistical assassins. Most of the churches were, besides, sold ; and the sums of .1 money allowed for the salaries of clergymen. or for the expences of religious worship, did not amount to half of what was assigned to the national feasts and the opera. The consequence, In corrupted France, is evident, when thousands of Frenchmen are emulous to become aaors or dancers; none pre. sent themselves to take priest's orders, so, as the Bishop of Amiens expresses himself in the eloquent address to the inhabitants of his See, " The time will, perhaps, soon come, when in France the I Christian religion will descend into the tomb with its last preacher.”—From 1789 to 1800 (according to French authors), Upwards of six thousand four hos- t dred priests Live been murdered in France; teo thousand nine hundred exiled and proscribed, and eighteen hundred transported. What young Frenchmen, will, therefore, renounce the enjoy, ments of life and enter into holy orders, for the sake of baing insulted, beggared, and, perhaps, murdered, u Mout any probable prospect of doing any good, as all those Frew& youths of both sexes, whom the revolution over took in their first lustre, have never been taught any religions notions, whilst they have daily heard the blasphemies of Atheists, and witnessed their bar- I . barities ; seen their horrid triumphs, incomprehen sible successes, and dangerous impunity ? The crimes t of former priests who have joined in the rebellion, i as those of a Bishop TA LLILYILAND, an Abbe Sinus and G sitcoms, a friar Foucua, and others, have besides thrown upon the priesthood in France an odium. which neither the Concordats of the POPE nor BONAPI ST I'S SCUM COOSIIitIIS can re move. Ages are necessary to repair the scandalous abominations of some few years, and of some few On Tuesday, Mr. Witt' All Don Dad had the boi nous to kiss His Majesty's hand on his being ap pointed Secretary at War, and yesterday that gen tleman attended at the War °Zee, and masa:led, business.
