By the course of proceeding proposed, the House would be precluded from examination on oath. Another course of proceeding would bring the matter to the test of practical examination. A month ago, the Right Honour able Gentleman stated his intention to introduce the dis cussion to the proper tribunal, but circumstances which oc curred made it impossible to commence the prosecution. The charge was an imputation of gross misconduct on the part of the Sheriff's of Dublin, and the obvious course of inquiry, in order to avo id t h e inconveniences which must attend the in vestig,ation in that house, was to refer it to the proper tribu hunal' where the quest i on o f i nnocence or f au l t m i g h t b e ascer tained by evidence given on oath. If the House should con clude upon a case prima Acie, that the Sheriff's were guilty, they must then send the individuals to their ti ial with the weight of the authority of Parliament against them. Could any man Ray they would have a trial without bias against them. Ile did not dispute the high powers of that House as the grand Inquest of the Nation' but having the comp e t en t regu la r tr ib u n a l to re sort to, he should resist the inexpedient course. Mr. BROUGHAM was not willing to send any man to trial with a Mill -stone about his neck. If there was danger in sending the Sheriffs improp er ly to trial, God forbid ! he said, he should be an advocate for the proceeding, but if it were dangerous, hoar came the Sheriff to request the course might be taken which the Hon. B aronet proposed ? In answer to the Sheriff's request, it was, however, said, don't, listen to the party—he doetlinow what be, wants—shut your eyes against him. It was also said the House. had often got into difficulties by such inquiry, and that it was better to trust to the Attorney-Ge neral. He was not so little learned in the functions of that House as to be taken in by such doctrines. lie considered the sam e a delusion practised in the fourth year of the reign of AlaiestY• The charge against the Sheriff's was packing a °LIT'', and subv ert i ng t h e administration of justice for . party sake. The character of that party had been collected from his Right H on . and Learned Friend. The party was described to consts t of persons disposed to discharge their duties fairly, but they could not depend on those under them. This was the state ment made by the first Law Officers of Ireland, whom he really could not consider acquitted of the charges made by the Meinber for Armagh. With respect to the Right Hon. Gentle man, he stated openly that he saw nothing liktiorriipt conduct. It was, however, indiscreet and unwise. Hialtight Hoo.

LEME are established at Vittoria. We have rea son to believe, that the determination of the commanders of San Sebastian and Pampeluna, not to surrender those important fortresses, causes considerable disquietude to the war-party at Paris, and that the passage of the Ebro will not be effected so precipitately as, according to the Drapeau Blanc, the Didassoa was crossed ; unless, indeed, the facility with which the French Army have hitherto proceeded should embolden the Duke d'AxnouLEmE to advance without delay. Then events will crowd upon us more quickly, and the plan of campaign laid down by the Spaniards will begin to take effect. With BALLASTEROb on the right flank, MoauLo on the left, MINA in the rear, and the Conde del ABIsBAL with VILLACAMPA in front, the French will repent of their iniquitous enterprize.

We have made two hundred pris4ers (among whom are two Colonels and ten officers), and captured live pieces of cannon. " His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme is well. We are assured that the enemy has evacuated the fort of Pancorbo, after having spiked tho cannon, and that he abandoned Burgos on the 14th, where the French army was expected with impatience. " We receive everywhere the most flattering reception. [From tha Journal des Ddlats.] NEWS FROM THE ARMY OF SPAIN. " VITTORIA, APRIL ]6.—The further our army advances, the better it is received. " The division Obert occupies Logrono, and a brigade of the division of Molitor is at Tudela. " The Marshal Duke de Reggio has orders to take up a position at Breviesca and Pancorho. " A brigade of the Guards is to march on Miranda, and General Valliu is to occupy Burgos with the advanced guard : this last town was evacuated on the 14th by the troops of the Cortes, and his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme is expected there with the greatest impatience." PA His, APRIL 21.—0 n the 23d, as we be fore stated, Marshal Moncey is to make his first movement. [The Journal des Debuts cditradicts the re ported capture of the French frigate La Guerriere, and says, that she returned to Brest, on the 17th instant.—The same Journal mentions a rumour current at Brest, that the Jean Bart, a French 80 gun ship, commanded by Rear-Admiral Meynar de Laforge, had captured a Spanish merchant ves sel, laden with two millions e piastres for the Spanish Government.] [From the Drapcau Blanc.] The head-quarters of the army are still at Vittoria. We continue in this position is order to give time to Marshal Moncey to pe netrate into Spain, and to wait the result of the attack by the corps under General Molitor against Ballasteros ; as well as to facilitate and expedite the arrival of the convoys which our precipitate passage of the Bidassoa left unpre pared. The communication between Santander and San Sebastian is kept up by the Spanish line-of- I battle ship the Asia, and the frigate Arethusa. A Spaniard, who quitted Pampeluna on the 6th of this month, says that the Commandant I appears determined to defend the town vigorously, that a numerous artillery had been placed on the walls of the town anti - citadel, and that the magazines were well provided with munitions of war of every kind. But the inhabitants did not appear disposed to run the risks, and expose themselves to the hardships of a protracted siege. Upwards of I'2oo had quitted the town at the time of his departure. ( From the Journal du Commerce. ) It is reported that the Trappist having ill treated some Spaniards devoted to the Constitu tional cause, the Duke d'AngouMme placed him under arrest. his Royal Highness has directed that our Allies shall not pass beyond a fixed point. Pampeluna appears disposed to m a k e a de termined resistance. Some persons who quitted it on the 13th say, that 1,700 men had arrived there with a large convoy of cattle. It is rumoured that an engagement has taken place between the Pastor and the 23d regiment of the line, between Villareal and Tolosa, but no details are given.

We think this news premature, as all previous accounts give us reason to suppose that the army of MoNcEy would not break up before the 22d or 23d ; besides the French Government had ample time to be informed of the occupa tion of Puyeerda by its troops before our Ex press left Paris, and would not suffer so im portant an event to remain unknown.

BA YONNE PAPERS. BAYONNE, APRIL 15.—The occupation of Bil bao by the French troops was at the request of the inhabitants, who feared that the Army of the Faith would be guilty of excesses, and a line has been drawn which the troops of the Faith are not to pass. Advantage has been immediately taken of the occupation to send by sea from our city provisions, ammunition, &c, of which the army is in very great want. Several vessels have al ready sailed for this purpose ; bit, if we may believe reports that seem to be well founded, armed vessels are going to be sent from St. Se bastian, which may pick them up by the way.— The fact is, the voyage is so hazardous, that adventurers cannot be found to insure against capture. Among the multitude of reports, we may no. tice that of a serious engagement said to have taken place between Villa Real and Tolosa. The Pastor is reported to have placed in ambush on an eminence near a difficult road, and to have done much mischief among our troops, especially the '23d ; and it is added that General St. Ililiaro lost his baggage. St. Sebastian holds out, and it will probably be ne cessary to besiege it in form. What most embar rasses us is the want of horses for the artillery, &c. A considerable number is required (9,000 for the army alone.) it is true that 6,000 are said to have been purchased in the interior, but when will they arrive An officer of Engineers arrived yesterday ex press from bead-quarters, to hasten to the depar ture of a train of heavy artillery. Pampeluna is very tranquil ; we have spoken to a person who left it the day before yesterday : they expect the French with firmness, especially .since 1700 men have entered the town bringing cattle with them. This place will stop a part of our troops longer than was expected, and will disappoint those who expected that they should go in a body to Madrid, and even to Cadiz. It seems that a diminution of the force of our army is foreseen, from the necessity of besieging some places and leaving garrison in them ; for it is said that 80,000 men are to be taken from the corps of Marshal Moncey to form a sth, which will pass this way. This reduction of INloncey's corps would give room to Mina, and enable him the more easily to execute his purpose of suddenly attacking us in the flank on the river. Ballasteros acts with the same circtamspectien, avoiding every kind of engagement till the pro per time shall come. The great news which makes all the adherents of the Faith tremble with indignation, is the arrest of the Trappist, by the command of the Prince, for having vio lated his orders by illtreating the Constitu tionalists. FLANDERS MAIL. FRANKFORT, APRIL 13.—Letteis from War. saw. again contradict the reports that a Russian army was going to march to join the French army in Spain. MAYENCE, APRIL 10.—All the letters from Vienna still express hopes of peace, and it is generally believed there, that negociations will be immediately renewed between France and Spain, and that England will act a great p ar t i n them. The last Note of Mr. tiordon to Prince Metternich contains a declaration of the Cabinet of St. James's, which considers the difference between France and the Peninsula, as a dispute between those Powers only shows that England would not be inclined to suffer other Powers to interfere, unless in a pacific view, being herself determined to take up the defence of the weaker party, if a certain Northern rower should pre tend to take an active share. The Court of Vienna is said en tirely to coincide in all these sentiments. We this day insert the whole of the additional Diplomatic Papers submitted to Parliament, of which we laid an Abstract before our Readers yesterday. It is gratifying to learn from these documents, that the Duke of 'WELLINGTON was instructed by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, a short time before his lamented death, to consider a rigid abstinence from any interference in the in. ternal affairs of Spain, as forming part of the fun. damental policy of the British Cabinet. In the last paragraph of the confidential minute, addressed in May, 1820, to the Courts of Austria, France, Russia, and Prussia, by Lord CASTLEREAGH, we find the following pas sage :—" 'We shall be found in our place when actual danger ;ne naces the System of Europe; but this country cannot and will not act upon abstract and speculative principle 4 of preeaation." If Lord CASTLEREAGH meant by the " System of Europe," the integrity and independence of its respective States ! ' and the preservation of the balance of power, it is notorious that the European System is not only threatened, but directly attacked and endangered by the iniquitous invasion of Spain. England, it is true, still maintains her own place ; but the question is, whether she is not unwisely permitting another European Power to be thrown down under the foot of France, and is thus suf fering the Political System of Europe to be ex posed to the greatest dangers. The question is, whether existing and imminent perils, and not mere abstract and speculative principles of precaution, do not nt this moment call upon Eng land " to act," and to put forth all her energies and power, for the resistance of those projects of injustice and aggrandize ment, which are at present notoriously in pro• gress toward their completion. THE THEATRES. kmo's THEATIIE.—Tite new opera of Eliza e Claudio was substituted last ►►ight for La DOMUI del Lago, in consequence, as stated, of the ness of Signor REINA, and Madame RoNzA BEGNIs. A Morning Paper, however, intimates that the real cause was the elopement of Madame VEsTats to Paris. We can hardly suppose that she would fail so much in duty and virtue. The house was well attended. DRURY-LANE.—The Castle of Andalusia wasp again represented last night. It was powerfully supported in the musical part by BRAHAM, HORN, SMITH, Miss POVEY, and Miss STE:I'M:NS, and BARLEY and KNIGHT were not less effective in the comic characters. ROYAL Conuno THEATRE.--The represen lation of The Siege of Sarragossa at this Theatre test night was productive of an interesting effect. The Duke of SAN LORENZO was present, and on his entrance was greeted with an enthusiasm of applause, which, we rejoice to say, exiiiessed the feelings of our countrymen, and of all friends to national independence in every country. "Oh France, France, thou shalt shed tears of blood" as spoken by Mr. H. KEMBLE, excited a strong emotion, and so did every passage which testified respect for the Spanish cause. The Duke was again greeted with the warmest applause on his departure. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

The Anthony Sterry, from the South Seas, was on shore on the Shivering Sand yesterday, and half full of water. The Marquis of WELLEsixy has written to the Secretary of State that his expectations re specting restoring tranquillity in Ireland hate been disappointed ; and that he finds the system of outrage has been almost completely organized. Ile concludes by expressing his con viction that the wisdom of his Majesty's Govern. ment and of Parliament, will not delay the 14.. newal of the Insurrection Act.

'MelDuchess of Gloucester visited the Duke and Duchess of Clarence yesterday. MgßcANDurri.—As it was doubtful whether this Lady had really entered into the Hymeneal bands, we feel pleasure in stating that a letter has been received from Mr. GRANT, the Minister of Banff, who performed the ceremony. The worthy Minister contradicts the report, inserted in a Morning Paper, that he had received a hun dred guineas " for his trouble," declaring that he " neither received nor expected fee or re ward," and adding, " I am otherwise paid for doing my duty. I never consider that duty as a trouble, and am always and equally ready to do it at the call of the Peer or the Peasant." This is a modest and manly avowal suitable to the sacerdotal character. Yesterday an Inquisition was held tit the De vonshire Arms, Devonshire -street, Lisson Green, on the body of Elizabeth Cavil, an infant, eight months old, who died sud denly on Sunday last. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Baldwin, who nursed the deceased, that on Saturday evening the child's father came to her house, and on his leaving, said he should call on Smutty morning and. ive the child an airing ; the infant then, appeared perfectly well. Witness did . not to bed until two o'clock in the morning, and at that time had taken the child out and suckled it ; she then retired to rest, and on waking at five, observed one side of the child's face blaek, which so alarmed her that she instantly took it up, called to her landlady, and rendered the deceased - every possible assistance %bailout effi!et. She was positive the child had not been ovry having placed it at the further part of the . bed from her. Another witness fully confirmed the above testimony, adding, that Mrs. Baldwin paid the greatest attention to the influn while it Wad been under her care. The Jury being perfectly satisfied, returned their verdict.—" Died by the Visitation of God."
