A person hail been sent down to Warwick to inquire i if thete existed any recolleetion . of such a pe r s o n . The nfor ,mation With; which he returned Was 'rather startling: namely, that a . ninriber of persons recolleeted Dr. Adder, who was'very • intimate at Warwick Castle. On further inquiry, however, it tarried out. that the real name, which the good people of Waisv irk pronounced "Adder," Wits " Haddow ;" being that of a Scotch gentleman, who having taken his degree at. St. Aorlrew's,lived afterwards at Warwick. Was it neeenarY for him to: say any niore ?---( Loud cries of no, no !)-- , --He really diouglit the Hon. 'Baronet himself must be quite satisfied. Still, - hOwevd, if the'lltm. Baronet were determined to per , severe in•this Lady's cause, 'there was another claim on which: he llllr. Peel) did not wish to throw the slightest' discredit. He held in Ids hand a Manifesto to the people of Poland, in which her Royal Highness the Priness ()live of Cumberland asserted her right as the grand-daughter and heiress of Augustus Ilanislaus, to the high Royal, and ecclesiastical dignities of the Sovereign of that State. Thus it appeared that this Lady had'tvid strings to her bow. With her claim to he a Polish Princess belted not the.slightest wish to interfere, satisfied with having shewri that she had no pretension to that rank in. England. Sir r. NOElk had not before been acquainted with the facts stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he thought they ought; all to be told again to a Select Committee. Assertion was ,no, proof; and what the Right Hon. Gentleman had said required to he established by evidence. Thellon. Baronet seemed to be at first determined to press the House to a division, but he afterwards declined doing so, and the motion was instantly and loudly negatived. MERCHANT AND FACTOR. J. SMITH - obtained leave .to bring in a bill to amend the .14aw 'of Merchant arid Factor. ENGLISH CATHOLICS. 'Lord NU(IENT suggested that the bill relating to English Catholics Might be advanced a stage without debate, in order to RelrepOt its being lost for want of time. t M,GOULBURN said that he was bound in honour not to give Way to the Noble Lord, as lie had given the Hon. Mem ber for Code Castle reason to suppose that he should not do so, who had left the House upon that assurance: Afteia feW further , 'observations front r Lord NUGENT and Mi. Sec. Gator iwG, the House went into a Committee upon the IRISH TITHE COMPOSITION BILL. The remaining clauses of the Bill were then gone through, most of them were agreed to, and a few were postponed. • Mr. GOULBUR N said it was his intention to move that the Bill as altered should be printed, and afterwards recommitted. The house having resumed, the Report was ordered to be received to Friday. ENGLISH CATHOLIC BILL. Lord NTJGENT moved the second reading of this Bill. It was not his intention to offer any observation upon the prin ciple ofit until a more advanced stage of it. Sir GEORGE HILL said, he understood 'many •of his friends were disposed to let this Bill pass unopposed, because it was hard that the English Catholic should not have the same benefit as the Irish one had at present. He, however, de cidedly objected to the principle of the Bill ; and he thought it better to State as much, lest his 'silent vote might be under stood as an acquiescence in that principle. Much mischief had emmed since the elective franchise 'hod been conceded to the Irish Roman Catholics. He warned the English Gentlemen against pasting this measure; It would rouse the known energy and ambition of the Catholics. Ile should not press for a di vision, but he objected to the Bill. Mr. W. BANKS opposed' the Bill. lie had no objection to admitting the Catholics of England into the Magistracy, but 'he opposed granting them the Elective Franchise. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Bill went to re lieve every person from taking the oath of supremacy. It did not confine the concession to Catholics. On this ground he should oppose the Bill. Besides'there were many offices which ought to be acepted from the Bill, even if the principles of it were sanctioned. Mr. Secretary PEEL said be should have several objections to make to the details of the Bill. He could not consent to abolish the Oath of Supremacy. The exceptions too were very unsatisfactory. The Scotch Judicial Bench had not been excepted—the Governors of Colonies.had not been excepted.— ' lie admitted that these objections were capable of being refine. died in a Committee, but he thought it fair to state them. Ile would consent to put the English Catholics on an equal footing with those of Ireland, but to nothing else. Mr. BANKES said the bill embraced a wider principle than 'that upon which the Noble Lord had obtained leave to bring it ' in. II e did not understand the 11111 as it was now framed. It stated the word 4 ‘ franchise," which was a word of large in.. port, and should be properly defined ; as it now stood, it might extend to the corporate as well as the elective franchise. .—The bill professed to copy the Irish Art; but it was copied 'very strangely and irregularly, and there were many omissions. No Colonial Governor 'was excepted from the bill ; but surely 'those who represented the Sovereign should be bound by the 'same oath as that which bound the sovereign himself. He should not divide the House on the question for the scconil reading, for there were a few of the provisions of which he approved. Mr. WETHERELL said, that as the Bill was at present framed, he was inclined to oppose every line of it. Upon the principle of the Bill, however, he was very much disposed to agree with his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Peel), and he hoped to sec the Bill favourably altered. The Bill was then read a second time. • Lord NUGENT said, he would now be tempted .to enter in. •to a discussion of the principles of the Bill. fie had endea voured to make it a copy, as near as possible, of the, Military Hill of ,1816. The Hon. Member for Corfe Castle had asked 'llia several questions, hut he would ask one of that Honour. able Member. , If the Hon. Member should ever think of sell. • ing the Borough of Corfe Castle, would he pUt the Oath of :,upremacy to the hrtended , purchaser ? Mr. BAN KES said he thought the question put to him by the Noble Lord savoured'Ver7 much, cif rirdeness and personality, - . He supposed it arose from 'a mistaken opinion of the Noble Lord, that he (Mr. B.) had offered a frivolous opposition to the hilt. He would, however, answer the question„, If he were ' ever inclined to part with property supposed to convey political power, he . should think he deserted his duty if be sold it to 'persons who.he thought would abuse it.—(Cheers.) Lord NUGENT explained. He feared he had, indeed, put tint queltion too abruptly; and he must. admit that the answer • showed. the Mt!. Member to be consistent in his opinions. The Bill ivas then ordered to he committed on Monday. DISTILLERIES Bl I.L. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the second readingq of ii; lhyiillery Bill. - • Lord A.IIAMILTON complained that the Commissaries of Scotland .Bill had not been brought under discussion.

THE BEACON NEWSPAPER, Yesterday there was an appeal before the House of Lords that excited a good deal of curiosity, connected with the Beacon Scotch newspaper, and the bond given by Sir W. Rae, the Lord Advocate, Mr. Hope, Sir W. Scott, &c. to support such Jour nal on certain terms and with specified subscriptions. It will be recollected that a gentleman named Gibson brought an action against Stevenson and Craig, the printers of the Beacon, to recover compensation in damages for a libel on him that had appeared in such newspaper. Mr. Gibson afterwards split his action on account of some formalities, and went into the Scotch Jury Court against Stevenson, the printer, and obtained a verdict—Damages, 500/. Mr. Gibson then commenced his action against the bondsmen, Sir W. - Rae, &c. as publishers and proprietors of the Beacon, and that action is the ground of this appeal. Sir W. Rae and the other defendants resisted the proceeding Wive the Lords of Session but such resistance was ineffectual, and the Lords of Session sent the case to the Scotch Jury Court, where the defendants Were called upon to put in their answers. In this stage of the business, Sir W. Rae ap pealed to the House of Lords to stay further proceedings, Mr. Gibson having already obtained a verdict of 5001., and having thus procured redress for his wrong. The ATTO xY-Gr.NERAL supported the appeal, quot ing the 55t1t and 59th of George 111., Acts for creating and regulating the Scotch Jury Court, to show that there was the power of appeal. In this case Mr. Gibson had obtained redress ; he had appealed to a Jury ; he had obtained a ver. diet for 500/. k and be now sought to proceed against other parties to receive redress, for that wrong which a JUry had al ready remedied. Mr. nu otraliAM spoke strongly against : the rappeal. He did not deny that the Acts which had been. quoted . gave the power of ultimately appealing against the detisions of the Scotch Jury Court to the House of Lords; but denied that the Acts gave the power of appealing on a case in its progress to the Jury, aftct the Lords of Session had warranted the proceed ing. Here the case was in Its Frogman to the Jury. Objections of form hail been overruled by the Lords of Session. There had been no verdict, and it was on a verdict only that there could at last be an appeal. The case was of vast importance. It was entirely novel in its nature; and if it succeeded, a most dan gerous power would be given to those who desired to delay or intercept justice. The Loan CHANCELLOR said that the case Was of so much importance that he would take time to consider it ; but he should be prepared to give his judgment on Friday next. Lords' judgment postponed till Friday accordingly. EAST INDIA HOUSE. • A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday at the Company's House in Leadenhall-street, which was made special, for the purpose of resuming the consideration of the East India Trade Bill. On the motion of the CllAlltitAN, the Court agreed to it dividend of si . per cent. on the, Company's Stock for the halt'. year commencing on the sth of January last, and ending on the 6th of July next. • Mr. it. JACKSON wished, before the Court proceeded to the business of the day, to correct an error which had gone abroad in a report-of what he had said at the last Court. Ile was made to say, when alluding to the attornies practising in the Supreme Court of .Calcutta, that many of them were persons without rank, fortune, character, or education. Now he would appeal to the Honourable Chairman whether he had so ex. pressed himself—and whether he had• not put the case hypo. thetically—in this manner • that as the same regulation did not exist in the Court at Ca lcutta,' as in those of Madras and Bombay, the want of such regulation would perhaps open the door to the adniission of improper persons ; he, at the same time, expressed the high opinion he entertained o f t h e eminent agistrate at the hea.d of that Court which precluded' the idea of any unworthy individuals being admitted. He un derstood, from very high -authority, that the Judges of that Court were ready to .agree to any regulation that the Hon. Court of Proprietors might choose to adopt. So far from ar raigning the character of any one of those Gentlemen: who practised in the Court: at Calcutta, he had no hesitation in avowing, : that he knew no fact on which he could impeach - their respectability. TheCtrainmax said imperfectly recollected that the Learned Gentlemen put the case-hypothetically. The CIIMAMAN then laid before the Court an amended. copy of the India. Trade and moved, " That the Court approve of the - said Bill;.". . Mr. Rims expreseed ; librepprobation of the general prin ciple of the hill ; but complained that the system of recipro. city between Epgland arid India wile :not complete. He cell- , tended that the Laiicar ou ght' to be. placed on the same footing 'with British 'seamen. • t • , Mr. Tocsin argued that, Mex.tend to the natives of India the privileges. of seamen; Would be useless, is India was not a merit:42e Country'rneither -was its population at, tubed to maritime affairs. Mr. B. JacKsow, in a speech of great ability, urged the necessity of securing the coasting trade of India for the natives. 'Phis Bill would entirely deprive them of' it. 'Mr. Gnaw Thad never, since 1813, changed his opinion with respect to the coasting tra de.i lie thought it was at that time. secured by law to the natives. But some Gentlemen on this side of the water, and certaitf.of the Company's legal officers abroad, had discovered that the law did not prevent the Met chants of this country . from partaking in that trade; when this was the case, he did not think the Directors could devise any re medy for the evil. : Mr. THANT viewed the measure as wise and salutary: should therefore support it. Mr. S. Ductile expressed his entire hostility to the admission of Lavers to the privileges of' British seamen. :Mr. RonEwrsow approved of the Bill, which' would not, in his opinion, injure the Indian population. in • - Mr. 14owwitEe repelled, strong terms, the proposition for placing Lascars, a crafty, deceitful, body of men, on a footing with the generous name of England. The motion was then agreed to.—Adjourned.

The following article ,is extracted from the Royalists Espagnot, printed at Madrid :—" It is very painful for us to have to speak of the state of destitution of the depot of Spanish soldiers who have abandoned the enemy. Whence comes this disorder in the supply of subsistence ? Is it true that there now exists less resources at Madrid than when the indefatigable genius of l'Ahisbal raised millions for the equipment of his division ? Undoubtedly a system of finance does not yet exist; but it is certaiu that many taxes are now received, and that there are great quanti ties of articles in the Royal magazines. Atten tion to the defenders of the country is an object of absolute preference, and the least fault in this respect; is inexcusable. Such is the exposition' made by the Spanish General, and we earnestly desire that he may. be satisfied whether we are to share our bread with his soldiers." [PRIVATE C ORRESPONDENCE.I PERPIGNAN, JUNE 8.--The Marshal, after having visited Manresa, has returned to Grenolles.

The 4th, there was a talk of making arrangements with two merchant vessels off Mataro, for carrying away our magazines ; but whether there was not time, or the conditions were not agreed to, the arrangement did not take place. Since our troops have left, the people have seized the magazines, anti all the provisions have been conveyed to Barcelona. It hi stated that the Marshal was to return to Vich on the sth. There was no news :it Vich from Gen. Donnadieu. On the 7th, Mina set out from Cerdegne marching upon Ripon.

It appears that, after alt the movements which have taken place in Catalonia, whether On the part of our troops which are con centrated at Vich and Grenolles, or on the part of the Consti tutionalists, which have caused the arrival of Mina on our frontiers, and in the rear of our army,—it appears, I say, that the enemy has still projects which we shall not fail to know. • PAn IS, JUNE 10.—The banquet which the young students of La Vendee, at Paris, are in the habit of giving annually, took place yesterday at Catlran Bleu.

THE V RENCH LOAN. tigrornthe Journal de _Mats.] In spite of tile observations of some journals, on the unseasonableness of the emission of twenty-three mil panies are associating at Paris , and even in foreign states. A Journal yesterday enumerated the lions of renies, several coin names of the French hankers who have declared their intention to bid for the loan, and.adds, that it was also a question that two English houses would participate in the loan. Doubtless the jour nal in question was not aware that this was answering his own ob servations, and that the facts thus stated ttally destroy and con demn the system of its editors respecting the want of competition. It is true, perhaps, that the said j ourna l did not conceive that six companies could offer a setious competition; but we are inclined to think differently on this point, and_we do not hesi tate to affirm, that the competition will produce all the results which could reasonably be expected, when it shall be este- Wished, between a certain number of the most considerable houses in'Europe. Consequently we can dispense with answer ing the various articles which were opposed to that in which we attempted to justify the emission ordained by the Govern ment. It still, however, appears to us useful to rectify some of the arguments of our adversaries. !Chas been affirmed, for instance, that the day fixed for the sale was too nigh at hand, and that the capitalists would not have time to participate in it. On what data is this argument established ? We are Ignorant: but here is our answer. The first 'loan which Was negotiated in France by.publ ic announcement and competition was that of twelve millions, raise d by M. Roy, in 3821. Now, on turning to the Mon t teur, we find that the. negociation was authorised by an ordi nance of the Nth of July; and that the announcement appeared in the Monitenr of the Oth. The adjudication took place on the oth of August foll Owing. Consequently;the , bidders had only one month to, form their lists. Now, we do not know that the Minister of Finance at that period was ever reproached with having been' too precipitate„ and yet he who' is now so severely criticised affortls the capi talists five days more. Neither was the former 'rroached with not having permitted a sufficiently numerous competition, although at that period four houses only tendered. But perhaps there are reasons of cen sure drawn from views which have no reference whatever to the affair in question it has been said, that in the present day to Polit . ique Interf eres i n ever y thing : the same may be said of the spirit of opposition. However this may be, since one month wacsufficient in 11121 to inform the bankers of Frankfort and Amsterdam, and eventhe.Reeeivers.Genentl thro' the kingdom, we think it ought to suffice in 1823, for the means of commu nication continue the same and have not become more tardy. With regard to what has been said of the time required by commercial men to concert together and realize their means, we can easily answer by appealing to all those who have any idea of the operations of the Bank ; or rather, who does not know the promptitude arid facility with which in the present day immense capitals are united ? This leads us to refute one of the arguments on-which our adversaries particularly pique themselves. They say—by afford ing a more considerable interval between the day of announce ment and that of adjudication, but especially by dividing the operation, you would h ave h a d more bidders (compagaits tom misslonalres). This is an error. The houses Who can bid for 12, can equally do so for 23,000,000; for none of them operate with their own capitals but with those of their subscribers. Now, it is known that there is no lack of subscribers. Capitals abound in all the Exchanges of Europe : the only reason which could keep back purchasers, would be the fear of an operation which, combining itself with theirs, would thus have rendered the results more uncertain, and on this point we voluntarily in voke the testimony of whoever is conversant in Stock Exchange affairs. _ _ It is probable that the journal in question itself felt all the force of this reasoning; for in its last article it pretended not to have understood us respecting the motives alleged againit the division of the recites in two lots of equal amount, and in two successive adjudications. We have said that two operations of this nature, especially taking place at the interval of one month, as that Journal (lc. sired, would mutually destroy ea: i otht . r ; and, in fact, is it not evident that the capitalists (placed between two loans, hesi tating as to which of the operations they would participate in, and moreover perceiving; hi the second sale, a means of advan tageously employing their capitals, if they retain them) would not offer to the first adjudication terms so high as they would if they were without hope of a new sale ? On the other hand, it is notenough that the Government has negociated its renter, the contractors must also be able to circulate them. Now, will they feel secure attx)ut the rate at which they will succeed in negociating them, if they apprehend, or if they know, that another emission will take place, which also putttng renter at the disposal of other capitalists, will establish an opposition which will necessarily produce a decline in the value of what they are the proprietors of, and subject them to the grievous chances of an undue competition, which would perhaps depre ciate them by false calculations, or inconsiderate combinations ? The Government ought to promote' competition, and it.does not injure capitalists, whilst the operation remains to he effected; but it would injure itself, were Government to obstruct the capitalists in their course; for, as soon as the contract is taken, its interest is confounded with their interests, to the end . that it may be realised with exactitude, and consequently with profit to the purchasers. Another Journal has expressed its fear, that by a subsequent decision, the operation would be rebuilt!, or adjourned. We will observe, that no such thing is to be feared,— The adjudication is announced, and henceforth will only de. pend upon the price which shall be offered by the proposL.t.t parties. The Minister has tied up his hands, with the reserve under all cases of a mit:in/um, and this is the only positive condition that we can we will not say, admit, but conceive.— How, in fact, can it be imagined, after so solemn an announce ment, that the Minister would postpone an operation which involves so many interests, and which is become the cause of such extensive transactions? _ _ Lastly, and not to leave any objection unanswered, it is affirmed that the time fioi selling is ill chosen. We have al ready said, thisobjection would have had some weight two or three months ago; but, since that our valiant army has passed , the frontiers—has been hailed with - enthusiasm by the popula tion weary of the yoke of the Cortes—in what mind does there remain any real doubts of the issue of the expedition in Spain? The Revolution has received its death-blow, and a few days, sooner or later, legitimacy, reseated on its throne, will restore order and prosperity in the Peninsula. We shall see, moreover,'Whether this is a general opinion, or only a particular idea ; but speculators are at present too much occupied to judge of events, and too enlightened with regard to their own interests for us to conceive the slightest disquietude. Resides, the question which divides us, will be decided by the act of adjudicition, and we venture to hope that the foresight and prudence of the litivernment will be triumphantly avenged for the attacks which have been made upon them. Already we learn dint the Constitution of Portugal is abolished, and that the Revolution has fallen without even a struggle. It is also known that on the sth inst. King Ferdinand had not left Seville, and that Our troops were rapidly advancing towards the capital of Andalusia. We are, however, only at the ltith of June and twenty-five days have yet to elapse ere the day of the sale of the twenty three millions. Let our adversaries wait for the 10th of July, when they will be .better able to say whether the sale of recta took place too soon, and the war too late. SPAIN. MADRID EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE.

Yesterday being the Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, the 3d regiment of Guards mounted guard on the Parade in St. James's Park. The men who shared in that glorious and ever memorable vic tory wore their medals. The colours were sur mounted with laurel, and the baud played several pieces of select music. A troop of the Ist regiMent of Horse Guards had also-their colours decorated with laurel l as were the fronts of th e Iwtoparticipated rbtircipidlaeste,dasit:Ttehlel a The Ist Regiment of Life .

The WooDLEY Tn 00 P of Yeomanry Cavalry =relied into Reading on Permanent duty on Monday the 2d instant, tinder the command . of Captain Mo wr no c. Although this troop had before obtained high reputation among the yeomanry corps of the kingdom, for its military appearance and discipline, it has distinguished itself more than usual on the present occasion. The orderly behaviour of the men in quarters, and the Preci. sion and accuracy with which they performed theirmancau vres in the field, obtained for them not only the highest appro bation of their able and excellent Commander, but the praise and admiration of several officers of regular cavalry who have occasionally been present. At the evening parades 'in the Forbury, the troop went through its movements equally as well dismounted as mounted. The band of the troop:enli vened the town, and afforded great amusement to the inhabit. ants. On SUnday, the 'corps attended Divine Service at St. Lawrenee'aChurch, where die Chaplain, the Bev. Dr. YALPY, preached. a suitable discourse. On Monday the 9th the corps had a fleld-day in CaVershain Park; after which Col: MAU:: SACK, (lateof the Guards) regaled the troop with old English cheer, roast beef and strong beer : afterwards it marche d into the town •itsid fireiLthree volleys in the Market-placel , --gave four-times-four cheers to a Speedy recovery of health' to the' King—and three-tirnes.three to the Mayor and Corporation of Reading—and were dismissed after an eloquent and appropriate speech' from .their wont ty. Commandant. We understand. the members of the; troop efterviards assembled at the Quarter.mas_ tar's house; and drank die, health of their Chaplain, who had most liberally caused, refreshments to be provided for them. Mr. Eaststaff, the Governor, of our County Prison, returned thanks to the troop fig seething a prisoner, who had escaped from the debtors' ward, and presented the individual, who secured the culprit, with an acknowledgment of 2/. • ! WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. nig morning these Sessions commenced before FRANCIS CONST, Esq., the Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates. GAMBLERS. H. Johnson, J. Adonis, E. Richards, and J. Ed:4,111415, were indicted for keeping a common gaming -house, No. 33, Pall mall.—A witness, named Goodwin, appeared on the part of the prosecution, and stated he had been unfortunately introduced to the house in question, and in which the games of Roulette, Rour et Noir, and Hazard were played, on which he lost considerable sums ; he had also seen' the defendants playing there. This witness was most severely cross-examined by Mr. Cunwoon , respecting certain assertions which he had made use of, viz. that he wished to know who the pmpric tors of the house were; that he would stick to them if they did not tip,. and, by so doing, it would be the ruin of the house. On the other Side, Captain Augustus de Assig was called, who swore most positively that Goodwin had made use of those words. The Jury returned a verdictof Not Guilty. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY is returned from Vienna, last from Paris. During his Lordship's short residence at the latter place he lost his Star of the Order of the Bath, and all the exertions of the Police to make any discovery respecting it have hitherto proved in vain. * 14,7 ' * , 0 a t o • MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK.

The Words by JOHN FINLAISON, Esq. Junior Warden of the Lodge ; the Music by J. M'DONALD Victorious Guelph !—ln the Volume of Time, Who can point to the era when first rose sublime The young tree of Estb o'ershadowing high, The mightiest stems of renown'd Italy ? In ages remote, ere from Woden's dread shrine, The Saxon had fled to the altar divine, From thy Princely Root that brave Scion up-sprung, Whose branches protective o'er Albion arc flung. A thousand years monarchs, the sceptre they away'd, Ere the Queen of the Ocean, Britannia, obey'd Thy rule, mighty Guelph ! when her trident she gave, •- And bade thee reign paramount Lord of the Wave. • Oh ! ne'er may those twin-rods of empire depart From thy glorious race, while in one British heart Truth, honour, and courage beat high, as of yore While Britain's rernembeed—till time is no more ! • This Mee was unluckily mislaid on the day when it should have appeared.
