-t( r some observations which fell from his Hoe. an tile early- Lof the c‘e,nie l i.lis Honourable ent hmi.stated, that the only remedy for .ecuriug_the tranquility or the country was peace ; and he had furJrer said, that those very disturtiers of the public peace, the, objects of the present Bill, would cheerfully bear any burdens, preividedthey were satisfied that mea.ets bail.been taken by Government to bring the war to . a conclusion. At that assertion he had smiled, and his Hon. Friend expressed his surprise. The smile was excited because he recollected past times, when his Hon. Friend, expressing the same seeti ruents in opposing the measures of everyAdministra-' and-in recommending" to them to make over tures for peace, had, when those overtures failed, always said that the offer of our Government had not been a fair one.—The smile was naturally called up, because the declaration of his Hon. Friend was a perfectly safe one to make. With ,respect to the disturbers of the public peace, lie hoped-and trusted that when they were awakened from their delusion, and had a proper sense of the -valuable-blessings which-they enjoyed, they would return totheir duty like true Englishmen. There was- one other -topic upon which he would say Vt few words, and that was- the calumny _which had been heaped upon the Magistrates. When be recollected that so much was due to the Magis tracy—that the happiness of the country so much, depended upon phem, he could not avoid expressing his regret, that the Honourable and Learned Gen tleman should declare, that the legal profession hadan unfavourable opinion of their conduct, ge nerally speaking. He believed that very few of theleal profession would agree in the opinion of the. Honourabk and Learned Gentleman. To be sure that opinion applied,principally to the Magis trates of Lancashire, for . his Honourable and Learned' Friend had not uttered a word against those of Yorkshire. __ln what situation were the Magistracy placed by the opinions of his Ho nour: 41. e Friend (Mr. Whitbread) and the Hon. and Learned Gentlentait. At one- moment; Isis Honourable Friend reproached them for being too supine, and the next morreint for being too active ivOthe discharge of their duty—the gra tuitous disehnrge, be it recollected. Wear , bear !) - When it was known that these Magistrates were threatened with assassination for discharging their duty, and then were to experience such treatment from the House, was it likely they would act ? The Honourable Gentleman then stated his oh j,e7.tions to the clause for searching for arms,which, he was afraid, would be ineffectual. Persons . who dare no. give up their arms would certainly, after the passing of the Bill, make that a sort of pre tence for getting rid of them, but the delinquents could conceal their arms. Otte of the additional reasons for supporting this Bill Wasin orgy to protect the character of the Magistracy: . A MEMBER (whose name we could not learn) observed, that the censure of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman could not apply to the whole of the Magistracy, for only two were named as blamable. He condemned the conduct of the lion. and Learned Gentleman in affixing so foul a name as vermin upon them. F The IlouFe then divided— " For the second reading - • 131 Against it Majority • The Bill was then read a second time, and com mitted for to-morrow.

BUOI•TAPARTE'S Address to his Army has reached tovn. It is violent and bitter, and denounces the fall of Russia. The ,Opposition writers are so. anxious to find fault with the measures 'of Government that they seldom stop to investigate facts, or even to under stand the subject about which they take upon themselves to declaim. One of them has ton trived, in a paper of this day, to. display, in a paragraph of about twenty lines, more misrepre sentation and more ignorance of the subject, than we believe were ever before condensed in so small a space. The paragraph in question relates to a no tice served by the Crown Solicitors in Dublin, upon a Mr. FITZPATRICK, calling upon him to skew cause before the ATTORNEY GENERAL, why " a Criminal information should not be filed against him, for printing and publishing a false and se- , &lions libel, entitled it a Statement of_the Penal Laws which aggrieve the Catholics of Ireland, with commentaries."—Upon this subject ,the. Paper in question say s—" This is a mode of proceeding hitherto_•unknoWn in England, and indeed almost • withodt precedent in Ireland."--Now the (We ~ rence that prevails in the practice, respecting In formations in England and Ireland, is simply this, that in England the Attorney General files his in formation at once, whereas in Ireland the defen dant ,is called upon to slim cause why it should not be filed, and is, therefo,.e, so far in 'a better situation than the defendant in England. Bat the passage ,which contains the most deter mined misrepresentation, or the most extraordi nary ignorance, is the following " There seems, indeed, to be a determineol intention to suppress all disCussion, if a new Conit is to be instituted in the Attorney-General's Chambers for the trial' of informa tions, of which he is to be both the Author and the Judge." Is the writer of the above paragraph really so grosSly uninformed, as to suppose that the filing of the information is the trial of the case, and that all further discussion is suppressed ? Does he not know that the filing the information is only one mode of commencing the prosecution,--that the Defendant against whom an information has been filed, is substantially in the same situation with the Defendant against whom a Bill' has been found by the Grand Jury, and that the trial takes place afterwards in 'both cases exactly in file saw* manner ? But then, it is said that the Irish ,l' TORNEY -GENERAL has filed this Informfition against the Defendant for "reprinting the Penal Sta tutes,"' and that " this charge is contrary to hnrhan reason." We do nuts - .ppOse, that any of the readers of the Pciper in question are stupid enough to believe that the ATTORNEY GENERAL Would pro secute a than for . 'reprinting the Penal .Statutes ; but, indeed, the writer to whom we are alluding haS given an answer to his own assertion by un warily printing the notice, from which it appears that the information is not filed against the De fendant for reprinting the Penal Statutes, but for printing a'statement of the Penal Laws ;which aggrieved the. Catholics, with conmentarics.. If the ease were not likely to undergo legal inves tigation, we would lay before our Readers a spe cimen of du: accuracy of this statement, and of the spirit in which there Commentaries are made. THE THEATRE.—Miss JOHNSON, from York, last night made her first appearance in London, at Covent Garden Theatre, in the part of Isabella, in The Fatal Marriage: Considering the great and peculiar excellence of Mrs. Sinnoxs in this cha racter, ,it seemed a bold attempt in the new candi date for public favour, but,--far from imputing it to confident vanity, we are disposed to think that Miss .10qN5ON conceived - it to be a character which she could best perform, and thereforeyery naturally adopted it. She is rather below the middle stature, and ha:: What. is, •tcrined a good stageface, without being handsome. •Her eves are dark and ' - e.qressive. Her voice is clear and strong. Her performance was not marked by the higher order of merit . but it was respectable, and demonbatrated judgment a's well as feeli4ig. if ap plause is to. be deemed the test of merit, she had fa!k reason to be satisfied with her 'reception, which was. very Elo•_Tal and encouraging.• BARRYMORE .perfo.rmeLl the part of /3,roir ricv, , YOUNG, who was prevented from appearing by a domestic loss, and 'supported very ably; CITARLES KEATBLE'S Car los was an"excellent specimen of.acting. • JAMES TATItiGAY, Esq.--This Gentleman,' who was long conspicuous as qßarrister; and who ac quired a considerable fortune by his talents as an Advocate, died on .

British Commander on the occasion was most emplary. A eircuinstantial ; and, we doubt note a correct account,:is contained in the following letter, dated Charleston, May 25 : A report' has prevailed here for some dar past, that an engagement had taken place at the mouth of St. Mary's River, between a British; brig of war and several United States gun-boats- We have taken some pains to ascertain the par' tieulars„ which are as follow :—The Spanish ship Fernandina, which arrived in this port On Tues day last, Was laying at Amelia Island, where she had ' taUn on board a carp of dry TcoodS belon'. lug to a Merchant in this city. This ship, it i** alleged, Was formerly au American vessel,., but having violated the first embargo law, and a - sumcd the Spanish flag it appears that Commo dore Campbell.had giv'En orders to the officers of the Dun-boats on that station to take possessing of her, if she should leave the Spanish waters: the owner of the ship knowing that such order were issued, applied to Hayes O'Gready, Es t• commanding the British Wig Sappho, then lying in the River, for protection and convoy. The British Commander, after inspecting - ai e papers of the ship, and finding her to be a legs', timate Spanish vessel, and his orders requiring bini to render assistance and convoy to all Stictl vessels, agreeably to the treaty between Englall' and Spain, took her under convoy,and gave iier sailing orders. On Friday morning., the 1 41 1 itystant, the two vessels got under weigh, al:IL' dropped down the ltivier. The American g un- , boats,.. fi;e in number, one of them ..chooner rigged, got under weigh at the same time, .04 stood down the river with them. In the course of this time Captain O'Gready had communiOtei with the commanding officer of the schooner, anF" informed hini that the ship:was under his convoYf aud he could not suWer her to be molested. Afie' the vessel had crossed the bar, the schooner r 9l up near to the . Ship, and discharged hei large WO , loaded 'With grape shot, into her, Which fire RTC' repsted several times.
