fairs of Ireland with more ability and integrity than the pre•• sent Government. The Right lion. secretary, with reference to the subject of debate, was disposed to congratulate the House on their,escape from what he considered a perilous dib e►tßsion, likely 'to excite animosity ; but which, from the tem , per then apparent, would lead to a d►fferent result. The Hon. and Learned Gentlemen had been informed by his Right Hon. Friend, that the measure. required to be brought in, was re solved on before the present motion was announced . ; but.al - though it, was desired by Government, it was considered best to defer it until heat and animosity subsided. The' Govern .. ment entertained the hope of seeing very soon, some symptoms of abatement. The discussion which had taken place that night would lead the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen to believe the in • tended measure would give him satisfaction, and perhaps be an inducement not to press the motion to a vote. If this discus . .sion should, end in the temper in which it was likely to end, and the Ron. and Learned Gentleman withdrew his motion, the ,-House would get rid of a conflict which none could wish to see Mr. ABERCROMBY, in reply, said, if the Right Hon. Gentleman entertained all the feeling he had expressed with re spect to the discussion, he could assure him it had been in his power and the power of any of hisllaj . estY's Ministers to arrest the discussion. if any of his Majesty's Government had communicated, before the discussion that which had since occurred, the Hume would have spared what he. had been under the necessity of Stating. The principle object he had in view was to procure, a law with respect. to secret so ' ' cieties and oaths, and in case he had been informed, it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to intro duce a Bill, which he understood they would bring in early after the recess, be never should have made the motion. The Right Honourable Secretary for the home Department mace a wrong statement of his feelings, if he suppo se d he (Mr. • Abercromby) was capable of making a contest when he had ac. complished his object. His desire was, that the law should be ef. fectual in its operation against Secret Societies bound t o get h er by unlawhil oaths. In all he had expressed on the subject, he bad the satisfaction of receiving the concurrence of the Right Hon. Secretary. Ile was quite persuaded the points he had brought forward were not so much the subject of legislation as of Ministerial influence. He trusted their influence would • be exerted when it was known there had been an opinion in the House against such Societies. Although he should readily relinquish his motion, he could not feel he was not justified in making it: He was assured the effect of this discussion would • give • satisfaction to a large portion of the community of Ireland. Having obtain e d w h atever o bj ect b e h a d in view by making the motion, he wished, with the concurrence of the House to withdraw it. The Right Honourable Secretary considered it right for m e n t o b e united in the same Cabinet who differed on so grave a question, but-he could not feel that such a Cabinet could have the confidence of the coun try. Ile was hound tobelieve one who said the Catholic Ques tion was one of thegreatest importance to Ireland. lie was also called upon to believe another Cabinet Minister, who said con cessions of the Catholic Question would be subversive of the Constitution. How such men could hive the confidence of the country lie could not say. Mr. CANNING explained—He had only referred to the " historical recollections" of former Cabinets.--(A laugh.) The lion. and Learned Mover was then permitted to with slraw his motion. CHARITABLE SOCIETIES (IRELAND.) Mr. B..RICE deferred his motion to amend an Act for the Establishment of Charitable Local Societies in Ireland, to a future day. MILITARY OUTRAGE OF DUBLIN. Mr. ELLIS had given notice that he would on this night move for papers in the possession of the Irish Government, re -1 ting.to a military outrage at Dublin on the 28th of November last.—The name of the Hon. and Learned Member was fre quently called on by the Speaker, but Mr. Ellis did not declare his intention either of abandoning or adhering to the call for information upon this subject. The House adjourned, on Mr. LUSHINGTON*2 motion, at Half-past EleVen o'Cloelc• POPISH INTER FKItENCE At the Late ELECTION Ar DUBLIN COUNTY. I Eatract from the Petition against Lids Return, from the Votes of the House of Commons, Feb. 25, 1823, page 60.1 "That several of the Clergy of the Roman CathOlic per. suasion, in divers parts of said County, acting in some cases under the directions of their superior Clergy, were amongst • the most sealous agents of said Lientenant-Colonel White, and were particularly active in endeavouring to procure his re turn, and :to defeat said Sir COmpton Domvile ; and several of said Clergy did make use of the influence they possess, by means • of the rites and tenets of their religion, over the consciences of their flocks, in order to induce F ree h o ld ers to vote for sa i d Lieutenant-Colonel White, or to withhold their votes from said Sir Compton Domvile, and did threaten such Roman Ca ' tholie Freeholders as should vote for said Sir Compton Domvile "with the penalties of excommunication', and did represent to such Freeholders that said Sir Compton Domvile was an ene my to their religion, and that to vote for said Sir Compton Dionvilc would be an impious act, and an offence against reli. glen, and did from the altars of their chapels harangue the congrer.!ations assembled for public worship, and did p erm i t and stiffer said Lieutenant-Colonel White, and his friends and agents, from the same place to harangue said congregations to the like effect ; and soma of said Cler g y did attend at or near the Polling-booths during said Election, and did then and there interfere with the Roman Catholic Freeholders about to give their votes for said Sir Compton Domvile, and did en. devour to practice and work, and did practice and work, upon their superstitious fears, to induce them not to vote for said Sir • -Compton Domvile; and by such undue unworthy, and un , .eonstitutional means, the freedom of election was violated, and many of the said Roman Catholic Freeholders were in 'feint:need to give their votes to said Lieutenant-Colonel White, and many others to Withhold their Votes, and to refuse to vote for Sir Compton Domvile."

()n hearing this threat the servant and the boy took to their heels; leaving „Allis Disney in the hands of the robber, to whom she d e li vere d a morocco pur se w i t h 28s. and - a bun dlei containing oranges, lace, &c. on the receipt of which the robber made a precipitate retreat. When Miss Disney arrived at Raddlscoe, the circumstance had become pretty generally . known from the servant ana boy, and several people were about to hasten to her assiStance. The Yarmouth Morning Star coach coming up shortly after, information of the rob. bery was given to the coachman, and on the coach's arrival at St. Olave's-bridge, he was hailed by the of p!iblie-ho use there, and asked if he had room lan for d a lord female the to ._ z armoutli, to whi c h he replied in the affirmative. The .le male then made her appearance, and it immediately occurred to the coachman that she must be the robber of whom a description . was given him at Iladdiscoe. The coachman very Properly ' placed her i ns i de, and requested a friend t o get in also, and take - charg e o f her, but not to make his suspicio ns k nown . O n the arrival of the coach at Yarmouth, Pratt, the Mayor's offi cer , `Was sent for, and took he r to his own house ; wh ere , on cumin ' All the, bundle she had with her, it was found to contain the . v ery articles which had been stolen from Miss Disney; and, ' on a further search, th e purse , w i th its contents was found beneath her 4tays. On Saturday she was brought up for examination before the Magistrates for the county, assembled iit the Feather's Inn, Market-place, Yarmouth, when the pri linnet was fully committed to Norwich Castle, to take her trial .for the offence at the ensiling Norfolk Assizes. The prisoner Is about 18 or 19 years of age, and ' her name is Durant; her • rends formerly lived at Reedham, and have seen better days, 7 4 t In Present are in reduced eircurnaanees.—(Enex Herald. ) Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday are re ceived. Their contents relate almost exclu. sively to the proposition for expelling M. MA. NUM from the Chamber, the particulars of which we have saintly given in Monday's Paper. The subject is discussed in every way that the inge nuity of the several Editors can suggest, and in the sense of their respective parties. Private letters from Paris, dated late on Mon day evening, have been received in town. It is stated that the Sittingsof the Charnber of Depu ties began at half-past one o'clock. NI. MANUEL was not present. The Report of the Committee, proposing his exclusion, was taken into consi deration.—M. de ST. AULAIRE opposed the pro position, as destructive of the rights of the Cham ber. M. Roua COLLARD urged similar arguments with great eloquence against the motion of M. de la BOLIRDONNAYE; and after M. HYDE de NzuviLLE, General SEDASTIANI and others had addressed the Chamber for and against the prop position, M. HYDE' DE NEUYILLE moved an amend ment proposing the exclusion of M. M %NU Er, for the Session. The amendment was adopted by the Chamber arter, a long debate, which lasted till half -past seven o'clock. Great heat and vio lence' were nianireSted , during the whole Sitting. The Cortes of Portugal, like that 01' Spain, is calmly and deliberately adopting the necessary measures for maintaining the independence of the Peninsula, while the legislative preparations for war, on the part of France, have been suspended, by the furious zeal with which the internal war respecting M. MANUEL has been carried on in the French Chamber of Deputies. If a few more Members of the left of the Chamber can succeed, like M. MANUEL, in exciting the head long rage of the Ultras, they will operate a most powerful diversion in favour of Spain ; and by utterly paralyzing the functions of the Chamber as a deliberative body, might even succeed in still preserving France from the unjust and peri lous contest into which she is ready to be plunged. The Report of the Committee of the Portuguese Cortes, on the motion of Senhor MounA, for the adoption of measures for the defence of the kingdom, declares that an invasion of the Penin sula for the purpose of subverting ,or modifying (lie political institutions of Spain, ought to be considered as an invasion of Portugal, and proposes that the first line of the army shall im mediately be increased to at least sixty thou sand men,—that the Portuguese Militia shall be raised to their full complement, and organized,— that a national guard shall be formed at Lisbon and Oporto,—and. that the whole of the military force shall be immediately assembled, and post ed in positions properior resisting any foreign aggression. All the Members of the Cortes who spoke oil the propositions of the Committee, agreed ' that the invasion of Spain must be considered as an aggression against Portugal. These spirited proceedings of the Portuguese Cortes have in censed the insignificant party in England, which i s daily contending that Great Britain should remain neutral during the conflict which is to de cide whether Spain shall be really an in dependent State, and as such a firm and natural ally of this Country, or whether she shall he again prostrated at the foot of France, bound in the chains of French pre dominance, and for ever ready to support France by sea and land, in any future war between that restless country and Great Britain.— A. miserable attempt has been made to argue, that as Portugal is utinecessarily Iden tifying herself with the cause of Spain, Eng land is absolved from all obligations to afford her assistance and protection. But to this it is re plied, Ist, That. the co-operation of Portugal with Spain is not unnecessary, and that on the contrary it is indispensable to her own security'; and, 2dly, That Portugal is bound to slim that she is disposed to exert all her energies in her own defence, before she calls upon Great Britain for assistance. Frankfort Papers came to to this morning, from which we extract the following : 44 'TRIESTE, FEB. 12.---Letters from Constan tinople, of the 26th of January, say, that Corinth has surrendered to the Greeks by capitulation. The seat of the Government of the Morea is now fixed at Napoli di Romania, the fortifications of which are putting into a good state of defence. " VI ENNA, 18.—The Arcllduke Francis, second son of his Majesty the. Emperor, before he goes to Italy, will marry her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Bavaria, daughter. of the King, and twin sister of the. Princess Amelia.— His Imperial Majesty has been pleased to confer on his brother the Archduke Louis the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Stephen, as a public testimony of his particular satisfaction, and in vested his Imperial Highness with the Insignia of the Order, with the accustomed solemnity. " Letters from Bucharest of the lst February, say, that it appears evident, from a circular letter w hich Kavanos Sade Nassau Bey has lately sent couriers to all the Commanders of Turkish fortresses on the Danube, how much the Porte desires the restoration of perfect tranquillity and securities in the Principalities." SUN OFFICE, Half-past One o'Ciock.--it is rumoured that the following important inform ation has been received this morning from Paris :—Notwithstanding the exclusion of M. MANUSL from th e Chamber of Deputies on Monday, h e repa i re d to the Ch am b er on s Tuesday, and t oo k hi s seat, in s pit e o f t h e violent tumult which was created on the right by his presence. The National Guard was called in to turn him out, but refused to execute the orders of the Chamber, upon which a detach ment of tro o p s o f t h e line with great di f fi culty succeeded in causing the obnoxious Deputy to retire from the Chamber.. The whole of the left side rose, and, having entered into a pro. test against the tyrannical conduct of the majority on the right,"quitted the - Chamber. During these pror.eedino, the Chamber was surrounded by a ‘ great and violently zigitatod mob:—We lay the foregoing rumours before our Readers, with out, however, being able to youth for their au thenticity, though they are far from being im probable. [F RP NI A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EX CH ANG E, HUY:Via Theive &Clock.— Although the Instructions of the French Mini ster of Marine, in Monday's Paris Paper's, appear to be very warlike, oar Funds have been' steady during the whole of the morning. Consols opened at 73f i I, at which prices they have remained to this hour. Four Expresses have arrived from Paris, bringing the French funds at 80f. 50c. A report prevails that a great tumult, took place around the Chamber of Deputies, and that the Guards were called out to disperse the mob. It is further rumoured that the Mike of, LINGTON is going to Spain; and- that the , Swiss Diet are determined not to suffer any foreign troops to march to the Spanish Peninsula through their territory.—The steadiness of our Funds is chiefly attributed to the scarcity of Money Stock. Very little business is doing. FOREIGN M ARK Er.—Spanio Bonds opened . at 30, 9.9-f," at which price they remain steady up to this hour. We are assured by a very respectable Corre spondent, rvho recently came from France, that political speculations prevail among the higher circles on the Continent of a deeper nature than have hitherto reached this country. It is con ceived, we understand, that the difference be tween France and Spain lies upon the surface, compared with the ulterior views of Russia. According to our Correspondent, whose con. nexions are of the higher kind, it is expected that the attack of the French Government on . Spain will lead to its own .destruction, and that an attempt will then be . made by the successful party in France to make use of the name of young NAPOLEON, in order to consolidate and establish its own power, in which case it. is Supposed that Russia intends to come forward with overwhelming array, and to endeavour to place the Prince of ORANGE on the Throne of France. We give this statement as we received it, and 41101 merely repeat, that it came from such a quarter as well entitles it to the attention, at least, if not to the confidence, of ,the British Government, and, indeed, of the rest of Europe.

( Extract of a Letter to a Spanish Friend of Madrid.) " I am glad to find that your noble and ex cellent relative, amidst the preparations for resistance to the threatened most atrocious aggression, indulges sometimes in your favourite amusement, Chess, in which many celebrated 'Generals have been renowned for their onco had the advantage over him, after an arduous contest, I may be permitted to observe, that, $ The King is very rarely to act offensively; he is to be put where he will be the least open to attack, and while a fatal one is possible., neither move nor take, but with a view to his own deftnee. The two points to which every thing else is to :deserve, are the giving cheek-mate to the ad versary's King, and the preservation of your own.' There is also a manoeuvre called castling the King, and is gerserall,y made in order to remote him into a more ardor situation, and to bring a most powerful piece directly into play.' Portland-place, Fulham, J. IL Feb. 15th, 1023. ORATORIO.—The chief novelty at Drury-lane Theatre last night was the introduction of select passages from the Poem of Palestine, set to music by Dr. CROTCH. The Poem was.written by the Rev. REQINALD HEBER, the newly appointed Bishop of Calcutta. The work is written in that legitimate style which entitles it to rank among the higher compositions of the British Muse, and is wholly free from the poetical quackery of the day, which,, like other tem porary fashions, will have their Rogue, and then sink into comparative oblivion. It displays a kind of hallowed character, admirably appropriate to the subject. Dr. CROTCH, whose musical geniu in early life procured him the title of the "ANT PRODIGY, .has entered into the subject with taste and judgment, as well as with profound science. The calm dignity of the Poetry did not admit of much variation in the Music, bu,t it may be said, that it fully corresponds with.the char racter of the Poem. It is said in a Morning Paper, that " the Author (of the Music) has contrived to keep it from the general ear with an assiduity rare among composers." This is a mistalee, 84 it was originally presented to the public in the Hanover-square Rooms, and has often been per formed in that and other places. Indeed we cannot.conceive the policy of such concealment. It was altog ether well perform e d l ast n i g h t, though it is o too refined a character to become popular with the public at large, yet is highly creditable to the Composer, and will remain among the standard works of the musical genius and science of this country. The Theatre was very well attended, and the Performers in general were much applauded.
