tion of the papers would break in upon justice. After all, the information could not affect the motion of the Member for Armagh. Lord A. HAMILTON concurred in what had fallen from his Hon. and Learned Friend. The . Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman had not made out a case for refusal of the . papers. It was said an action might be brought against the Magistrates. If they had done their duty why fear an action ? The Noble Lord supported the motion. - Mr. S. RICE did not consider the piOduction of the papers at all applicable to the motion of the Hon. Member for Ar. magh. The great question at issue was, whether Parkament would rescue 'lreland from the faction which had so long de stroyed the tranquillity . of that country. If the House wished to encourage conciliation, they would not allow the evidence to be produced. • Mr. GRATTAN supported the motion. The more public the facts were made, the better every one knew how Ireland was governed. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland was of one opinion, the Attorney-General, Secretary, and Solicitor-General of another; and the only wonder was how the Government went on. He thought the Attorney-General had done much good for Ireland, in opposing a party which had so long dis turbed the peace of that country Dr. PHILLIMORE conceived the questiOn before the House to be without a precedent ; he would therefore oppose it. Mr. LAM BTON said, if he could consider the question turn ed on the opposition to his Majesty's most gracious intention, he should not vote for the motion ; but that was not the ques tion. , He did say that a prima .pcie case of unconstitutional conduct had been made out against the Attorney-General for Ireland. He should be happy to find him exculpate himself. With respect to the improbability of the story, of the intent to murder the King's Representative of Ireland, it was remark able that the bottle had not been thrown with more violence.— Since the affair, several bottles, by way of experiment, had been thrown from the gallery, and not one remained whole. The bottle said to have been thrown with a murderous intention was to be seen unbroken. The Attorney-General had acted uncon stitutionally beyond all precedent. Lord HOTHAIII supported the motion.—Colond TRENCH also spoke in support of the motion. Colonel BARRY, in reply, said, he was anxious to see Ire land governed by equal laws, but it certainly could not pro mote the peace of that country to run down a party because Popular clamour imputed to them motives to which they were strangers. He wished to see Ireland without Orange Societies and United Irishmen. The House divided, when the numbers were : For the Motion - • - - 32 Against it - . - 48 Majority - -16 Colonel BARRY then moved that there be laid before the House copies of the recojnizances entered into by the pc.-sons arrested in consequence of the late riots in Dublin. Mr. PLUNKETT said that these papers were matter of public record, and therefore at the command of the House.— Ile had no objection to the motion MILITARY AND NAVAL PENSIONS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that in the motion he was about to make he should not detain the House at that late hour with any observations, other and more suitable occasions would arise to make whatever explanation might be necessary. He should only move for leave to bring in a Bill to confirm the agreement made under the act of last session be tween the Bank of England and the Trustees of Naval and Dlilitary Pensions, for the call of part of the annuities in them Tested. !Iir:BARING said that he would not enter into any dis. cussion at present on the merits of the Bill, but reserve the ex. Pression of his dissent for another opportunity. Ur. GRENFELL said, he should likewise oppose the bar. gain altogether.' Ur. BARING inquired whether a bill of this sent ought not to originate in a Committee ? The SPEAKER said, that as the contrast, whether good or bad , wa s not for the current year, and therefore not a question which ordinarily-went into a Committee. Leave was accordingly given. MR. PARKINS. Ur. HUME presented a petition from Joseph Wilfred Par kins, praying for an extension of time, he not having complied With the order of the House for entering into securities to_prose. cute his petition against the return of Thomas Reave Kemp,' Esq. for the borough of Arundel.. Mr. Hume said that the pe titioner had attended at the proper time, but one of his secu rities was missing, and he had not been able to find him. The petitioner ascribed his absence to some unfair means. The hour (12 o'clock) for presenting the petition was past, but per haps die House might see cause for interposing in the allegation of the petition. Some remarks were made against receiving the petition by Sir Thomas Baring and Mr. C. W. Wynne. Air. HUME said, that of his own knowledge lie would state no one fact respecting the petition. The question was put for receiving the petition, and carried, in the affirmatiye.—lt was ordered to lie on the table. lIIILItARY AND NAVAL PENSIONS. 111 r. fIERRIES brought up this Bill, which was read a first time.—Ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The other orders of the day were disposed of. The SPEAKER then discharged the order on the petition of ?Ir. Parkins.—The House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock.

[FURTHER EXTRACTS.] PARIS, MARCIE 22.—The Viscount de St. Priest, Mujor-General and gentleman of honour to the Duke d'Angouleme, arrived at Strasburg on the 15th instant, from Vienna, and resumed his route on the same day for Perpignan. From the Ist day of April the Army of Spain will be paid upon the war footing. The Moniteur of yesterday contains the follow ing Royal Ordinance, dated the 19th inst.:--- " Lous, &c.

His Royal Highness will then return to Carcassone on the '24th, and arrive at Toulouse on the 25th, whence he will not set out for Bayonne until the 27th. [From Le Pilote.l Yesterday, at eight o'clock in the evening, a diligence, appearing to contain a dozen military men, came in through the barrier de I'Enfer, and passed through the rue de la Harpe, escorted by gendarmerie ; it was taken to the Prefecture of Police, of which the gates were immediately closed. Au hour afterwards the diligence came out. The persons contained in it were lodged in the apartments of the Prefecture. It is believed that the manifesto which is to contain the declaration of war of Trance against Spain will be published between the Ist and sth of April. Lieutenant-General Count Guilleminot, Chief of the Staff of the army of the Pyrenees, is busily employed in collecting information on the internal situation of the country which it is proposed to invade. This information agrees but little with that which Generals Quesada and Baron d'Eroles gave at Paris. Commerce is already in great stagnation. We saw yesterday a manufacturer of the capital who, two months ago, afforded employment and sub sistence to 200 workmen, and who has been forced within a fortnight to discharge 150; yet war is not commenced. Lettters from Lyons state that one-third of the workmen a re discharged. The ordinance of the King, which declares that M. Mercier is struck out from the list of the National Guard, was published yesterday in all the streets of Paris. It is asserted that a great number of sub-officers of the National .Guaril intend to give in their resignations. Yesterday, at nine in the evening, the Sieur Raillard, grenadier of the Ist Legion of the Na tional Guard, was crossing the wooden gallery of the Palais Royal to go on duty at the Pont Neuf, when he was set upon by 1,5 or 20 fellows, who maltreated him, crying, " Here is another Mer cier, we must drub him." The gendarmerie, who witnessed the insult, collared no one, and the grenadier only delivered himself from the fray by his own presence of mind and courage. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING or MAncu 21. On the opening of the sitting, M. Reveliere !tppeared at the Tribune, to make a report on petitions the majority of which, he stated, were from the merchants an d others, connected with maritinse commerce, residing at Havre, Bordeaux, Lille, Rouen; Morlaix, &c., who expressed their fears that war would be in jurious to the commercial interests, and their desire for the maintenance of peace. The Commission recommended th e Order of the Day, which, after some debate, was adopted by a large majority. SITTING OF SATURDAY, MARCII 22. M. Bourrienne presented a report upon the Budget, in which the Commission have proposed various reductions and modifica tions. The Chamber decided thit it should be printed, and fixed the discussion thereof for Monday. PORTUGAL. CORTES. Lrsnow, Martell s.—ln the sitting of the Cortes of the 6th inst. Senhor Moura, though out of the regular order, wished to submit to the Congress certain observ at i ons connecte d w i t h t h e public safety. A general wish to hear him was expressed, and he proceeded as follows : " The intelligence lately received from England, viewed on one side, is very favourable, particularly when we consider the interest which that g reat nation manifests for the institution s and the fate of the Peninsula. It is favourable to the extent, that there appears no longer any reason to doubt that the Elm lish Government must necessarily unite with the two Peninsular nations, in case it cannot prevent a rupture with Franc e by means of most active negociations. In another respect the news is unfavourable, because we are info r m e d, th at t h e corrupt i ng gold of Fr a n ce begins to be scattered in handfuls in Portugal. The emissaries who arrive from France, and the correspon dents which the French Ultras already have in Portugal, re ceive their bills of exchange, some payable here, others at Ma drid. Information of indisputable authenticity confirms what I have stated. The Government has received notice of those machinations, and is following the traces of some agents; but its efforts will be vain. It is necessary by other and indirect means to oppose a barrier to the influence of this dangerous corruption. No vigilance is sufficient to guard against the agents, anti the corruption itself must be attacked and nulli fied. Who is not convinced that the insurrection of Tras-os- Alontes is a part of a planned system ?—Who does not per. ceive that it has in part been defeated by the decided declare tion of the public spirit of this heroic people, by the attach. ment to the constitutional system, and the enthusiasm ma nifested in its f avour b y t h e peo ple of Oporto, by the Con. stitutional Chambers, and, finally, by all the military corps of Beira, Minim, and Alentejo, who have on every occasion shown themselves determined to maintain the cause of public liberty ?—Who, then, can doubt that corrupting gold has been employed to instigate the defection of the three regiment s of Trasos.Mont es ? However, though I think it impossible that brave men should yield to direct corruption, I know that it is easy for the agents of corruption to gain ground. What prompt measure ought we then to adopt? I declare, Senhores, and I declare it after mature reflection, that it is necessary we should all arm ourselves, for it will then be impossible to corrupt us all. [The Deputies, and the citizens who crowded the ri leries, all exclaimed s i mu l taneous l y _' Agreed ! agreed P Separate corps may be se d uce d an d corrupte d . It is there ore necessary to form - one corps inaccessible, in consequence of its senti ments an d i ts magnitude, to all corruption.—( Loud cries from every side---' Agreed ! agreed V] There must be National Guards ! Senhores, let the National Guards be from this moment decreed.—[The cry of Agreed ! agreed !' was again repeated with enthusiasm.l,—By this day week I wish to appear in this assembly dressed in the national uniform, which is that of the constitution. The aristocrats are arming against the public interest. They want to bring back arbitrary power and the Inquisition ! Let us, as true patriots, raise our arms against that base faction ; let us all arm to combat the enemies of the constitution, and let us all here swear to die in its defence." Senhor Moura here stretched forth his hand to take this oath. All the Deputies, as if by inspiration,_ immediately rose, and enthusiastically r e p eate d t h e same oath, amidst the acclamations of the citizens in the galleries who, with 'patriotic energy, loudly exc l a i me d — " Th e Constitution or Death ! 'Death to our enemies !P—The Deputies reiterated these cries, and the appearance of the Congress formed one of the most impressive political scenes ever witnessed, and which could only be produced by the overflowing of free hearts devoted to the holy cause of liberty. Senhor Mourn then said—" j have not yet concluded.._.. It is time to speak, Senhores, not only to the Dep ut i es o f this Congress, but to the peopl e in the galleries. It is time to take advantage of the noble patriotism and the ardent enthu siasm of which they give the mosi brilliant proofs. We ought to hold the Cortes in the Terreiro do Paco, in order that we might all hear our constituents. Our present circle is too confined for the action of so much enthusiasm. Let us, Senhores, all swear to die in the ran k s aga i nst t h e enem i es of our coun try. [Here the oath was repeated with increased enthusiasm.] I move, that the Military Committee do immediately withdraw, and prepare a plan for th e f ormat i on of National Guards ; that the said plan be this day presented to the Cortes ; that it be de clared urgent; that it be immediately considered; and that on its being adopted, it be executed without any delay ; that we shall all, Senbores, be incorporated in this corps inaccessible to corruption." [Here repeated plaudits proVed that Senhor Moura was now, as on former occasions, repres en ti ng t h e true nat i onal feeling.] The Military Committee withdrew, and within an hour after reported the plan of a decree. Its consideration was declared urgent, and after being twice read, it was ordered to be printed. A Royal Decree, dated the sth of March, deprives the Conde de Amarante of all his titles, honours, and emoluments. On the 4th the King addressed a . proclamation to " the Poi.. tuguese people," warning them against seductions, and express. in g his indignation at his name having been employed to excite rebellion. He observes,—" In the happiest periods of' the Monarchy, the authority of the Kings, my predecessors, never was absolute. There were then always Cortes, and through them the King learned the will of the people. I have accepted and sworn to maintain the constitution, which has re.establish... ed those public councils improved in the manner most favour able to the representation of the whole nation." A report read in the Cortes on the 7th states, that Amarante had abandoned Chaves with the intention of entering the pro vince of Minh° ; but that he would be anticipated, as General Rego had previously sent troops in that direction. Rego* had his head quarters, on the 2d, at Lanhoso : Brigadier Correa was expected to be in Villa Real on the 4th. From the move ments made by the insurgents, it would seem that they expect ed aid in the province of Minho ; but General Rego writes to the Government that the troops and the people are there most firmly attached to the Constitution. PROCLAMATION., Addressed by Deputies in the Cortes for the Province of Tray Oi Monies to their Constituents. " Transmontanian Citizens, who still remain faithful to your sacred oaths, who have not wished to descend from the noble dignity of Freemen to the vile condition of slaves, it is to you alone that we now address ourselves ; for we never will be the Representatives of those who raise the standard of revolt, and stain the political regeneration of the Monarchy, by in. suiting the King, betraying the country, and perhaps obeying the orders of the Holy Alliance, by furnishing them with pre texts they had not before, to invade us, to declare war against us, and at the same time to divide our forces in order to con quer us, " Who, beloved countrymen and ourconstituents, could have thought that the constantly loyal province of Tras Os Montes, which has so much reason to pride itself on having been, in 1808, the first that shook alit foreign yoke, and the second that in 1820 broke the c h a i ns o f despotism, should have nourished in its bosom so vile a monster as the leader of the rebels ? He has, however, appeared—he has already vomited forth the most terrible venom against his country, It is, therefore, our duty to put you on your guard, and to rend the veil that covers a horrid futurity. Know, countrymen, that no doubt any longer exists of there being a Regency . in France, composed of degenerate Portuguese, in the pay of ,the Holy Alliance, of whom the leagued tyrants intend to avail themselves, by sub stituting them in the place of our adored King. They seek, through the medium of so vile an instrument, again to rivet our chains we so gloriously broke asunder, shut our ports against British trade, by re-establishing the Continental system. of Napoleon, to revenge themselves of England —a free country like ours ; they wish to erase us from the listof nations, deprive us of our troops, spill the blood of the repre se nt a ti ves o f y our sovereignty, as they did with N a ple s , an d di v id e our l an d s , as they did with Poland. As, however, they know what Portu guese valour is, as they have already seen our bayonets pass the Pyrenees, and as they know that an united nation is invincible, they endeavour to excite distrust in the constituted authorities ; they intrigue and calumniate, by availing themselves of hir e d agents. In the w a t ers t h ere ately was a vessel that came with the money intended to purchase your blood and ours, and the French coin already begins to appear on the Exchange. Re fict, dear countrymen, on the sudden appearance in this Capi tal of a nuniber of incendiary papers soon after that of a French General, sent here by Louis XVIII. Observe, that they all spoke the same language, and that they increased in proportion, as did the army intended to invade Spain. They insulted the Cortes and the Government, the men most con spicuous —those who have laboured most for you—these were the victims they had,in view, whilst the wick e d, w h o oug h t to have been driven fro m their country ; were eulogized.—. Our enemies and their agents, like the nightly assassin, se crete the dagger with which they seek to stab our hearts. Refined hypocrites—they feign to be religious, after just is.. suing from the clubs in which the butchery has been planned, that is to takti place 'as soon as they have deluded you. They have their eyes intent on your degradation, and your riches of which they intend to strip you, whilst at the same time they whisper to you that those men have no religion in them, who have so much labo ure d to susta i n i t, an d w h o only see k to at. tack abuses. " Beware of seduction. Listen not to the infamous Procla mation of that ungrateful Ex-Count. So badly written is it, that any other man than a traitor would' be ashamed of it. And on what is it founded ? Does it not insult your Repre sentatives; does it not insult you who chose them ? Can the situation of a magnanimous King be said to be compulsory, who came a distance of 2000 leagues to throw himself into our arms, and who so readily and spontaneously swore to our social compact? Remember that he, out of goodness and love to us, did all this, and that he now requires our united efforts to sustain his Crown, which is destined by the Arbiters of Europe for the head of another, God knows whom ; for our Monarch is not a Bourbon." GERMAN PAPERS. German Papers arrived this morning.—The following are extracts :-- 44 WEiHAR, MARCH 11.--His Royal Highness on the 9th opened the new Session of the States in the great hall of the Palate in this capital.-- His Majesty the King of Naples and his Majesty the King of Bavaria are expected at Dresden in the beginning of April. 44 FRANKFORT, MA UCH the Universal Gazette of Augsburg, of the 15th, we have the following statement According to accounts from Constantinople of the 10th February, the piece which Lord Strangford 'has 'caused to be translated into Greek, to have it circulated through Greece, is the Circular Note from Ve rona of the 14th December.' 66 Accounts from Constantinople, of the 10th February, mention, that the war with Persia con tinues to bpcome very alarming for the Porte. However, it is satisfactory that there is no war to be feared from Russia, the assurances of Lord Strnngford leaving nothing to be desired. ,, _ (Allgemeine Zeitung, March 15.)

We have received, by Express, the Paris Papers of Sunday last, of which the following are extracts :-- [Frans L'Etoile sy Sunday night.) Yesterday an extraordinary Council of Minis. ters was held at the house of M. de VILLELE, in consequence of the arrival of a Courier from Mad rid. M. de MARTIGNAC, Commissary Extraordinary for the Army of the Pyrenees ) sets out to morrow. We hear from Limoges, that the Duc WAN. GOULEME arrived there on the 17th inst., and proceeded on the following morning towards Toulouse. The sentence of death, passed upon Rooms, has been commuted into twenty years of hard labonr. An English Courier, from Madrid, has just passed through Bayonne with Dispatches for Lon don. We learn by this means in a positive manner that the King of SPAIN, the Cortes, and the Government, were nut •to quit Madrid till the 17th or 18th, and that Sir WILLIAM A'CounT, the English Ambassador, was to follow the Go. vernment. The Cortes have adjourned the read. ing of the Reports of the. Ministers upon the situation of the Peninsula, which was expected every moment to take place. The 2d and 3d battalions of the 6th Regiment of the line, 1014 strong, have Arrived at Bor. deaux from Metz, on their way from Bayonne. The Ist battalion of the same regiment has arrived at Paris. Two battalions of the 4th regiment of light infantry, three of the 17th of the line, and about 150 mukts a bats (baggage mules), have passed by Montpelier towards the frontier.--We expect the 4th regiment of horse artillery, of 160 men and 167 horses, in the same direction. Three battalions of the 2d and sth Regiments of the infantry of the Gardes Royale, each corn. posed of 760 men, arrived at Agen, on the 14th and quitted on the 16th. The same day the three battalions of the 3d and 6th regiments of the same corps, of 700 strong' each, arrived at Agen, and set out on the 17th. The ..eigenese seized this occasion to manifest their sentiments in the eyes of the soldiers. : The day before yesterday the Police arrested in the Bour n e-la-Reit:o the Bordeaux Diligence, in which were several military men going towards the South, with false passports, and under false names. General PIAT is' named amongst the Officers who have been arrested. Many reports on this subject are in circulatien in Parts, which the future only will explain. It is said that a great number of papers, trunks, &c., which were, forwarded by the Diligence, have been sealed up. It is difficult to believe that these proceed, ings of the Police have not been provoked by important indications. It will not be long' be. fore the intentions of these travellers, who were' so solicitous to conceal their names and their journey, will be discovered. We shall lay before our Readers the result of the judicial informs. tions, or any new details which may arise. They write to us from Toulon on the 11th of March, " This night at half-past two o'clock, we were awakened by the alarm gun, and by the bell 'of the arsenal sounding the tocsin. In an instant the whole garrison was under arms, and persons both civil and military went to their posts. The cause of this alarm was a fire which had just broken out in the middle of the arsenal in the place called l'lsle, and precisely where there was a quantity of ,combustibles. By prompt efforts the fire was extinguished in a few hours, and the total destruction of the ships and the arsenal prevented ; had the wind blown with as Much violence as the night before, nothing could have saved the great and small range, at a little distance from n here the fire broke out. The tranquillity- of, the city was not disturbed for a moment. Vs ant the Journal de Paris.] The Baron d'EttoLEs yesterday left Salanque for St. Laurent de Salanque, where his head quarters are established. Cantonments have been given to his troops, which consist of 5055 men, and which receive pay and rations as French troops. The twelve hundred men left at Campredon by MOSEN ANTON having received news that General MILANS would shortly establish himself in that village, have judged it prudent to retreat into France. Seven hundred men, intended to be organized by the same chief, passed yesterday under the walls of Perpignan, directing their course to St. Laurent-de-Salanque, but a counter-order which they received on entering the city compelled them to retrograde. [FROM A. CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCHANGE, Twelve o'clock. ---Th e Eng lish Funds and the Spanish Botids have experienced this morning a considerable improvement. Con sols opened at 744, got up to -t, I, with a Market looking up for a further advance, which it is sa id i s owing to an Exp ress f rom Paris which left yester day morning at one o'clock, bringing accounts from Madrid of a late date. It is said that on the 17th inst. there was a change of Ministry in the. above capital, and that the KING had demanded to delay his departure until the 20th inst., which was granted by the Cortes ; also that General ABISBAL had entered Madrid with the forces under his command, and was immediately ap pointed Political Chief of Madrid. By the delay of the KING'S departure, it is imagined through the interference of the new Ministry he may yet for some time remain in his Capital. We also understand that the Public aro great Bears in Spanish Bonds ; yesterday there was given 25, to borrow 1000 till this day. FOREIGN FUNDS.—There has been this morn ing a rise of If per cent. in Spanish Bonds, which opened at 26 to and are up to this hour ( 27,;!, with a brisk Market. We understand from authority which we deem undeniable, that the discontent is so great in France, particularly along the coast, that the women and children at Calais, Boulogne, and the environs, continually cry out— " d bus les Bourbons !"—down with the Bourbons! and frequently add, we will get rid of them. We have heard this from a Gentleman of the first respectability, who is constantly going to and returning from France in an official situation, and who has no doubt that very strong measures must be resorted to, if a revolution is. to be pre vented.

THE GREEKS.---It Will give pleasure to every friend to the independence of nations and of man kind to learn, that a Committee of Gentlemen has been formed to forward the cause of the Greeks. The meeting was held at the Crown and' A nchor, Strand, and is to resume its sittings from time to time as occasion may require. Mr. HUME was in the Chair,—and from the inde fatigable character of that Gentleman it may be inferred that no zeal or labour will be wanting to promote the object of a Committee founded for so meritorious a purpose. Yesterday afternoon the Princess SOPILIA ViSitel the Duke of YORK for about an hour. Tho Royal Duke afterwards walked out in the Park. An Extraordinary Gazette was published last night, containing some omitted details of the operations of the armies in the East Indies, and extending in dute from January, 1817, tolanuary, 1821. They have long lost all interest, and present nothing remarkable but the fact that their communication should have been so long delayed. Instructions have been given for ensuring great( r regularity in future.
