p( r, s there had; to his know:edge, been great di-pu• es in the Court. , Mr..RaiNE said,itwas impossible for the House to '' , ten to, the proposal for a Committee on this subject; When the person implicated, and of course the one whom it most interests, cannot possibly attend, without the most material injury to his profestdonal . character. He (Mr. RaMe) could state to . the House circumstances which had been entirely omitted by.. those who furnished in -formation ~.to the Honourable Gentleman who proposed the motion. Was it known to them that all the proceedings of Mr. Burton. Mor ris, with , only one exception, were sanction ed by the late Attorney-General ? -.Had the in crease originated with the Lord Steward instead of Mr. Burtiiii would have been es.; teemed a prOperMeasure, and would have met with . no opposition ; nay, le could state to the House, that the Knight. Marshal had actually, proposed that the increase of fees should be admitted on condition that Mr. Cruichley should be restoied to his former situation. He did not thing it fair that it should be drily and plainly stated in that House, that Mr:Mortis had instituted an increase of the fees of the Court, for his own emolument, and to the prejudice. of Crntchley,. without , tieing at drily and plainly contradicted ; for he had lOngkirown Mr. "Morris to be.a most worthy and eztunable chqracter, and the most unlikely Man to be influence - lin any of bis proceedings, by a spirit of avarice and malevolence. Under these eircura , stances, he hoped that the noose` would postpone - the Consideration or this ;notion, at least for the present Session. Ntr. LEYCESTE.II bore testimony to the honour able aysd upright co: duct Mr. Morris,: and the fallacy of the Charge againitlim. lie stated that the suspension of the prothonotary was in conse ocanc.e of five di erenteharges againstbith b,rotight by suitars of the Cana.

A . free trade will therefore inuricdiately be opened between Sicily and Tunis. PALERMO, MAY 11.—The English ship of war 411ilford, Rear-AdmiraIFREtMANTLE, arrived here on the 4th inst. having on boardLadyBENTINCK, the consort of the British Plenipotentiary. ALGESIRAS, JUNE 3.—An action took place on the Ist inst. in the environs of Bombs. General BALLESTEROS waCked General Clnats, for the pufpose of dislodging him from his posi tion, and at first actually obtained some'advan tage, but having been charged by a numerous body of cavalry, he was driven back with the loss of three pieces of cannon, and 1000 men -killed, wounded, or taken. No offielal account has yet been published. Jtniz 4..—We are as yet without any official details of the action of Bornos, and I must, theTe4 fore, content myself with sending you the aceonnt given us by a prisoner who has been brought here, a Chef d'Eseadron in the division engaged ; he states that the action was most bloody ; 'that the French had formed a kind of entrenched camp, where they left two battalions and 300 horse in reserve ; that the remainder of the division, to the_number of about 3000 foot, and 150 horse, Wad marched out to meet den. 13ALLESTER0s, by whom they were vigorously attacked, and who, the Chief d'E?cadron adds, had a force double their own ; that a desperate Contest - ensued, which lasted three-quarters of an hour, at the end of which victory declared in favour of the French. The loss of the Spaniards be calculates at 1500 men in all, among whom are no fewer than 80 Officers killed or wounded ; and that of the French - at GOO rank and file, 3 Officers 'killed, and about 30 wounded. He further states, that owing to their small numbers, this battle has not been pro ductive of any advantage to the French, - and that the same would have been the case with the Spaniards, if . they had beaten • their enemies, as the -latter would- then have re-entered their lines,, which were so strongly fortified that no fewer than 25,000 men would have been required to carry them. General CURRES commanded the French ; they 'been under the necessity of 'leaving Vegetand other neighbouring point.; un— protected,, in order to formthe division which was engaged on the Ist inst. - The capture of-Vie works at Almaraz has .come to the enemy's knowledge, but our Chief ThEs cadron represents them very weak, and' ac cordingly attaches very little importance to . their • ' loss. lit believes -that the Allies have with drawn from ristreniadura, and have no- notion of penetrating into Andalusia for the present ; but if they should attempt it, he thinks, from the expe rience of the past that Lord 1/VELLINGTON must have the means of insuring success. 50w..7 con tinues in his position •in front of Seville, with • 25,000men,who are in communitation withls,ooo' more betongin% to A.l.kamoxT's army.' . GIRRALTAR, YU' NE G.—Since the above fetters reached the garrison, an authentic though very Short ancount„ has been received, from an officer of rank in the-Spanish army, hy'which it ,appears, that the action of the Ist was as well contested as any that has been fought since the Revolution; aFt that an unforeseen- - accident alone prevent9d the gallant eltertions of the - Spaniards being, crowned with .victory. The number of their % , coutided is acknowledged to be eonsider'able, but it is Added, thp.t the Frelch must have sustained an equal losg, and that they did not presume to push a single Guerilla towards the banks of the Guadalete to harass General BALLASTEROS in his retreat. The 'General had taken f up a position in the field of Rutz, and was resolutely waiting for them, hs be was determined to sacrifice himself and the whole of his troops, rather than abandon 'a single wounded. Reinforcements for his army, to the number of two thousand foot and four hundred horse, have arrived from Cadiz - in the course of this week, and landed at Tarifa and A.loiras. Letters from the first of the above-mentioned toms state, that the divisions of the Allied Army which were expeeted shortiy_to penetrate into this .proving have received orders to proceed to Fuente Guinaldo. The 'Regency of Tripoli has declared war against Spain. Saturday last being St * . Ferdinand's Day, the Royal- Standard was hoisted, and the gar rison fired a Royal Salute at twelve o'clock at noon, in compliment to our allies ; and on the anniversary of our beloved Soveieign'i... birth day, the 4th instant, afeu, de joie was further fired by the troops:; the General OfFivers, the Officers -commanding regiments, Field * Officers, Heads of 'Departments and principal :N.lerchants . had the honour of dining with his Excellency the naTit-Governor, and the day conclu t ded -with a ball, given ,by CotruELL, which iyai kept up to a very laic . hour.

You are authorised to remain with a division of the guards. The Emperor wishes you to avail yourself of ,this per mission to combine your movements with Gen. CAFFARgLLI, to destroy MINAN troops and maga zines, take his Cannon, and, in short, make an end of him. You shall apprize Gen. W.uutLLE, Commandant of Bayonne, of the movements which you shall agree upon, that when the ope ration' s commence he may reinforce the varies of Bastan and Villas, so as to be upon his' guard against MIN,., who, when pursued, might march in that direction.

They a. not kivc more favourable , • report of the posture of - affairs in' the River Plate than were received:-by letters of a previous date. We are sorry,. however, 'to learn, by the letters which arrived yesterday, that: the landahle efforts of 'the British cruizers to suppress the,Slave frack have occasioned some -disturbances, as they had captured several Brazil vessels which had been emph)yed in that horrible traffic. This disturb ance has been particularly violen'Cat Bahia, as the commander of a British vessel had seized se veral vessels bound to that place, 'laden with slaves, Whom, with the characteristic humanity of his countrymen, he had landed in freedom at Sierra Leone. The persons at Bahia who were chiefly interested in this odious commerce, had attempted to excite a general commotion among the people; but the storm, though' violent, was short, and it:was not likely that any serious con sequences would ensue. In the few observationS which we submitted to our readers after the decision of the House . of ei.;nunons on Mr., CANNINP'S• Motion, we ex pressed ,our. apprehensibns that- the, measure pro posed Would.nrot produCethe .desired effect, if we may judge. from the -langnage of the Dublin Pa- pei•s, Which are presumed to speak :the sentiments of the Roman Catholics, our •apprehensions are like); to be - realized. We Are told, in the most tintignivoeal jnannftr, the Roman (atho3ics not listen to any terms ; that they. will not enter into - any treaty ; that 'they wi4 pot make any conditions, or give any securities ; in a. ward; that they will have unqualified, uneon-. ditional concession. They . use not the - language of mo‘deratien or conciliation, but of menace and defiance. They come, as it has been tinily. oh served, armed with-all the viOlence of indisputable right, spurning, all accorapinying condition, all previous consideration, all provident May. The....y reject the wise advice of the Marquis WELLESLEY to "manifest a sincere desire to fuinish to their Protestant brethren every reason - able pledge of at tachment to the established ConstitUtion, and every practicable securityforits stability and pros perity." That we inayt not be - accused of misre presenting the language of the . supporters of . the Catholic Cause, We subjoin an extract from the Dublin Evening 'Poet of Saturday last ‘c In a Second Edition, on Thursday Evening, we had the satisfaction of announcing a further -triumph of the cause of Ireland, in the success of Mr. CANNING'S long expected Motion, which was carried in the House of Commons, on Monday night, by a majority of Ot , ta AND TWENTY NINE. Of the wording of this Motion we cannot approve— i in its success; however, we must rejoice. In the words of Mr. PONSONIIY, is a step gained in the progress of the Catholic Cause, and as such we receive it." It pledges the House to the consideration of the X‘aws fecting his' Majesty's Catholic Subjects; early in the next Session of Parliament—this is certainly a great-point gained--further throws the onus on the Cabinet. Those who' talk so much about guards, and fences, and securities, are now . called upon, by the itepresentativeS D . f, the Peo ple, - to bring forward their terfits—:-to stale 'what • their guards, and their fences, anti their securities The second Resolution, submitting the ~fist to the consideration .of .the REGENT, rcriders this duty . hriperative them = this* is another point gaine4' and, a's we conceive, a - itioL.t int pOrtant point. Will 3lioisters come forward, next Session, their . 'gziards, and 'their fences, and their 'gecnrities? NO.—What then ? Why, they tarn out—=the Friends- - - of Ireland -and the Empire come into power, and CatholicEman- ' ciliation is carried unconditionally. We Might write volumes on - the subject, but still to this-point - . we must came at last--- : there 'is no other way of getting out of the embarrassment—there is no other way Of meeting Mr. g•ANNIN . G'.s Motion —there is no other way of satqyittglrelctind. The House of . • • Commons stands pledged to the early considera tion of the Laws affecting the. Catholics—that pledge is given, with a full knowledge of the Resolutions of the last Aggregate' Meeting in. Fishamble-street—the Cabinet is called on to bring forward the so much talked of securities—the Catholics of Ireland have irrevocably resolved not to give any security other than what every Sat;uct 'bound to give_ pis oath, his heart and hand, in sup port of the State—,th.ey will not traffic for Liberty --J they scorn to intrigue—they will not enter into ail treaty--,-thq will - 7! ot stoop to any cotipromisel--- the Cabinet is divided—p erb ups ..equally divided ! —one part fc.,T extending Catholic Freedom eon-. diti 401 T—the other against meeting the .
