titularly objected to the monstrous powers whlch the bill gavet to creditors to cases of insolvency. The whole of the bill went w vest in the Crown a power which was not claimed nor con e , -ceded in any other of our Colonies. He thought it too late in. the Session to proceed with a bill of such importance, and he moved as an Amendment, that it be re-committed that day. three months. Mr. G. BENNET said that there were not .suffieient. materials in New South Wales for the formation of a- Jury of probor et legales haniines. He believed there never was, and never would again be, such -a Calory. He - wee convinced from the reports he had read, -as well althorn the conversation lie had with several individuals, that Rome premature to attempt the introduction of the trial by Jury into , the Colony. Out of the number of 4,369 emancipated convicts in the Colony, there was but a small proportion living on their owrproperty. The trial by Jury was excellent as applied• to time state of society in this country; but the circumstances of the population of New South Wake did not admit of its appli satione The greatest corruption of morals prevailed through the , whole Colony, particularly among• the females. He gave his consent to:the principleof the Bill, and gave it his support. Sir JAMES 11IACKINTOSH said he took the question ,to be whether they were to communicate the benefits of the Bri tish Constitution to the inhabitants of New South Wales, or - whether they would condone that system of martial law, for so he would call it, and arbitrary power, that had hitherto ex isted. The present Bill conferred on the colony not one of the institutions of England * except Indeed the advantages of an economical and expeditious Court of Chancery.—(A laugh.) —Much of the Bill seemed to be copied from the famous • Canada Bill, which produced such unfortonate results in the -other American Colonies at that time, and which was the first .-exception to the good old policy of our ancestors, who, when. serer they sent Englishmen, always sentwith them the glorious institutions of England. His charge against the Bill was; that it introduced nothing, but left despotism and arbitrary power in all their strength. Ile did not mean to say much of the Corrucil. Ile would wish to see' the germ and seed of the British Constitutionplanted' in it, so that it may be hereafter broken into two legislative chambers. The great point for which he contended was the justice, the policy, and pro priety of establishing in the colony the 'Trial by Jury. It • was a mistake to suppose that there were not -fit materials, in "the colony for that institution, the birth-right of Bri tish subjects. He contended that there was a fair propor. • tion of freeholders to form a Jury. In support of that post . „ ton he referred the House to the recorded opinions of the several Governors and Chief Justices of the Colony. Among the former were Governors Bligh ' Hunter, sued Mac quarrie ; and among the latter were Mr. Justice Bent. To those authorities he added the present Judge Advocate . Wylde. lle complained of the inconvenience which would arise from delaying until next Session the confirmation of pardons granted by the Governor of New South IVales. To make' the pardon of what were called "Emancipistm," good in law, it was neces sary that they should be confirmed by a pardon under the Great •Seal. Now, no such general pardon had been issued for sixty years, and consequently all persons who had been pardoned by . - the Governor and held property were in a state of alarm. As they were situated at present they could-not be WitileßSeti in a Court of Justice. On these grounds be was of opinien that these clauses should be passed without delay. Mr. HORTON was for postponing the clauses respecting the pardons to next Session, when a general measure in trans portation would be introduced. As tl u measure would have a retrospective effect, it would get rid of the objections as toohe inconvenience stated by the Hon. ,and Learned Member. . AlroPEEl4econeurred in the propriety of postponing these a eclaure far the present. The Session was too far advanced to iradmit of the attention, which so important a subject required. He had no objection, however, -to confirm the pardons granted by the Governor, in far as those who resided in the colony were concerned. But those who had returned to this country, after receiving their pardon abroad, might have that pardon confirmed -,at any time by an application to the Crown, fora pardon under .the Great Seal, which alone could give it effect in law. ein all the cases of those of this country the Crown exercised adiscre -elan which it would not be wise to take from it. Time greatest inconvenience might arise if this was taken away.. Some time ago a man was claiming an estate in Scotland, but in time pro gress of the cause he forged a material instntment. He was tried, convicted, abtl sentenced to transportation for life. An application was made to the Crown for pardon, but sonic ob stacles arising from-Scotch law, it was refused. The man was 4e:steely - year in New Smith' Wales -when he received a par don from the Governor, and was now actually clainiing the same estate, though he could not be pardoned by Scotch law. -.So much for the indiscriminate confirmations of all pardons granted by the Gevarnor. Least, however, any disappoint .anent should be felt by those pardoned abroad, it was in con ,terhplation to confirm their potions. Mr. DENMAN contended that Patliament had pledged/it. -self to confiner all pardons of. the , Governor, and that if they failed to do so, it was a' fraud upon the parties coact:need. Mr. BRIGHT withdrew his amendment. • The House then went. into a ['Own-Mace on the Bill. On the clause. making a Jury of seven officers of the Army and Navy Judges in all cases, " 84 JAMKS MACKINTOSH proposed an Amendment, e substituting a Jury of twelve of the inhabitants duly qualified. , Mr. °MILBURN contended, that in the situation of the 'colony, a Court-of Military Officers was more calculated to render justice then a Jury .of twelve settlers could do. .;elr. 11. GURNEY supported the Amendment. Mr. WILBERFORCE said a few words in favour of the eAmendment. Mr. 11R,EGAT Supported the Amendment. After a fel words from Mr. D. GrenEnT and Mr. . the House divided upon the Amendment. Ft* the Amendenceit - -30 Agsiinst it - . . 41 , Majority . .fo tediscussion on one of the clauses, Mr. CANNING said . that might cure all the objections againet the Bill, if it , v y tr a limited to a period of. five years. They would then have 'time to itee its operation, and at the end of that period it might, he reconsidered, and whatever modifications were found neces. sary, made. To this atte n d ion he would consent. • The Reuse rammed. The Chairman reported progress, tied 'asked leave to sit again to-day. LAVV - RCIIAN TS ill Ll'.

U U Lushiligton, Dr, SPAIN. THE KING'S REMOVAL. .The.accounts of the re►Ooval of FLIIDI NAND from Seville to Cadiz have hitherto been very imperfect. The following particulars collected from Spanish journals supply some interesting in fmmation on this subject : 'The first business transacted be , the - Provisional - Regency after their appointment on the - night of the 11th, was the re , placing of the Secretaries of State, to which they at first object ed with much pertinacity. At last, after cousidprable difficul ties, they resumed their functions at five in the morning of the 12th, thereby shoring (lays the Espeetador) that " the feelings of offended self.love, as well as other 'considerations more or less founded, were all to be sacrificed on the altars of the coun try, and more particularly in circumstances so critical." , ;Senor Pando, one of the Secretaries, was absent from indisposition; but, notwithstanding. the delicate state of his health, he fol lowed the Cortes to Cadiz; and resumed • the . duties of his de partment .there. At eight in the morning of the 12th, Don Gabriel Ciscar e nne •of the members of the Regency, waited on the King, explain ed to his Majesty what had been done up to that time, .and pointed out the necessity of his proceeding on that day . to the Isle of Cadiz. The King.received the Regent very graciously, and informed him that he was ready to undertake the journey, upon which Don Gabriel withdrew. While the preparations for the removal were in progress, mes sages were repeatedly 'interchanged between . the Regency and the C,ortea; and General Espinosa was appointed, to command the escort. At one o'clock the troops of the line and the Ma drid and Seville militia were tinder arms and ready to march ; the baggage was shipped on hoard of vessels in the river, and every thing was arranged for a prompt departure. But at four o'clock it was said that his Majesty, notwithstanding he had in the morning stated to Senor Ciscar that he was ready to under take the journey, now refused to move. This report , excited 'great discontent, and some unfortunate events were anticipated. l At five o'clock the troops drew up in u line extending from the Alcazar to the - extremity of the city. General Espinotat passed frequently .along the line, and every preparation appeared to be complete, but still the agitation continued, At last,. about six o'clock, the household coaches began to be put in Motion. I In about half an hour after, the *King and the Royal Family entered their carriages, and, followed by their suite, drove oft' towards Utrera. The nuist perfect tranquillity prevailed on this occasion in Seville. • DISTURBANCES AT SEVILLE. After the King and Royal Family were removed, the Con stitutional Alcade ordered an 'illumination, and respectable householders were called out to patrol the streets. The illumi nadon, perhaps, contributed to promote the disturbance which followed, - symptoms of which had shown themselves at one 'point during the day. In the forenoon of the 12th a multitude of vagabonds,' including a large ; proportion of Gipsies and Monks, began to plunder the boats in the river.' This rabble increased, in the evening; and many individuals were insulted and robbed, and some killed. During the night the tumult augmented, and various houses were pillaged ; in the me in time the Giralda* was magnificently illuminated. • On the morning of the the robberies and assassinations were re newed, and continued until-% party of the Queen's Regiment and the Artillery, whiclehad been left for a garrison, marched:tO Triatia, and dispersed the mob with some fusilides ; six of them'were killed. This tumult was chiefly excited and kept Up by the influence of priests. The phinderers were led on with CMS of " Viva rernando'%--" Viva la Religion"e.-c Viv a l a Inquisition." A letter from Seville, after noticing the Affair between the troops of Lopez Banos and the factious on the Ifith, states that a number of boxes of powder had 'been deposited in the house formerly occupied by the 'lnquisitioe, under the care of an officer and a party of soldiers. It was reported among the mob, that the casks were filled with •money,' and they forced their way in, threatening to kill the officer and the guard, that they might get poSsession of the dollars. The officer put a match to the powder, arid blew up that part of the build ing. A great number of the mob were buried' in the ruins.—. About HQ were dug out on the 16th, and among the dead were several friars. THE PLOT TO CARRY OFF THE KING. This plot, which has been mentioned in the French papers, is alluded to in the Cadiz journals, but no minute details are g iven We • find it, however, stated in the•Eseeciaor of the 113th ult., that Sir John Downie, and eighteen other persons, were apprehended on a 'charge of conspiring to destroy the Constitutional GoVernment. In a longeiolitical • article in the game paper, a passage to the following' effect occurs :-." We have to observe; that if the petriots most compromised in the Constitutional' system have not fallen ' into the power of their feroCiotia enemies, it' is because the grand political stroke at tempted at Cad iz . failed. This ferocious conspiracy to get pos session of the person of'the King, to assassinate the Cortes, and 'the brave national militia, was opportunely discoVered. by the - zeal and patriotisei of two • mirth) , Spaniards,: Don 'Braulio Lopez,. clerk in the Wm-office, anti Don Francisco Mancha, ("Apt= of the 'military guard of Seville, to whom the country owes 4 special tribute of gratitude." We know not whether the following paragraph has reference to some other plot—it is sufficiently mysterious " We have heard a variety of remarks this evening (June 17) respecting the approach to this port (Cadiz) of one English and three French ships of. war. Every one tells; the story in his own way, and we, who wish to ascertain the truth, have obtained this information French ship of the line, a frigate, and a brigantine ; stood in towards the castles of this 'fortress and that of San Sebastian. The frigate was fired on. and immediately stood off; The three French 'ships remained in Sight until twilight. At six o'clock in - the evening, two (Ali, cerieof the navy landed, and, followed by a great num-e her of persons, proceeded to pave - an interview with one of the Siaireutries of State."

( From the Drapran Blanc of Saturday.) OFFICIAL NEWS FROM THE ARMIE!S. BULLIITIN. 4 " His' oyal Highness this moment received the following nformation - : " At the close of the brilliant affair which the advance guard of Count Bourmont had on the 12th June, at San Lucar la Mayor, the brigade of .Dragoons of General Comte de Saint May took the lead of the column, end repulsed the enemy with great vigour, during the day of the 20th, in the direction of Iluebla and San Juan del Puerto—points allotted for their em barketion. During their march they picked up a great number of prisoners, took a quantity of baggage, and were well re ceived by the inhabitants. " On the 21st, a part of this brigade pursued the enemy's ca valry, but they could not come up with thein • they likeivise pursued some of the infantry, who were a good deal in advance, and succeeded in embarking at pueblo. " Colonel Hautefeuille, with 200 dragoons of the 7th and 9th regiments, marched on San Juan del Puerto, where the enemy had carried all their artillery. Our troops immediately charged them at the moment they were putting them on board. Eleven pieces of different sizes, a great number of caissons, and four waggons, fell into the hands of Colonel Hautefeuille: General Lopez Banos' troop, :who could not withstand the advanced guard one moment, embarked with their General. The garri son of Lerida made a sortie on the 17th of 1,000 men, with lOU cavalry and two pieces of cannon, to attack the Royalist Chief Santros . Ladron, who observes that place. This column was obliged to retire, and their artillery was taken: A number were killed and wounded. GUILLEMINOT. • ," Head-quarters, Madrid, June 27." [From the Constitutions:el, July 5.] The Ministerial Journals of the evening announce they have received the Diario of Madrid of the 20th, which does,not con tain any news. - Pants, JuLY 6..--The present situation of Spain still leaves her holies ; she has no longer a central Government; it may be said that there are as many wars as provinces, and men who are compromised like better to fight a long time, than to sub mit to enemies who proscribe them, or even than lightly to accept conditione for which it is difficult to find an effectual guarantee. Notwithstanding, however the sentences of death and 'se questration which follow each other, it does not appear that all hopes arorenounced in the Ministerial salons of making an ar rangement otherwise than by means of cannon. The Budgets are the quarters in which we have great parks of reserve, •and it is hoped that we shall not he obliged to besiege Cadiz in order to enter it. We know not on what ground it is that hopes are entertained of soon entering that city, but it will certainly not be on a wooden horse. Our sincere wishes arc in favOur of any measure that may stop the effusion of French gold and blood, and in favour of the, pacification of unfortunate Spain ; but we persist in belieVing that the proper measure~ have not been taken to secure it, and above All e m maintain it. The Memorial Burdelnis gives a list of seventeen vessels taken by Spanish privateers, and sent to Algesiras ; some have been released, and others condemned. (From the Courier Francais of Friday.), PAR 19, JvLY 4.—ln addition to the intelligence from Lisbon contained in the English Journals; a French Paper gives some further details respecting the events which accompanied the late revolution. In the midst of this great political change thiedestiny of General Sepulveda is worthy of remark. This man, who, after having conspired against the old Government in favyur of the Constitution, conspired in the last instance against the Constitution in favour of the chi Government, was compelled to quit Lisbon in the evening of the 20th e lune„ to escape from the Constitutionalists irritated by his treason.— (In proceeding to join the Infante Don Miguel, he, doubtless, hoped that what he had done in favour of absolute power would obtain for him a pardon for what he bad done in favour of liberty—an illusion cot - ninon to all those who quit their ranks f or other standards. S9pulvedoi . was ill received, and even be. fore the eyes of the Prince he was precipitated from 'horse, and trampled under foot by' he soldiers. He cried out, " what, one execution for use at Lisbon, and another here ?" Seeing every where inevitable death, he doubtless began to think 'that he would have found a more honourable one in falling sword in hand with the party whom he had abandoned. Rescued from the hands of the soldiery, he was conveyed under a strong escort to the fortress of Pentche ; this was the only safeguard of which be WAS considered worthy. As the price of his defec. flan, he wits about to receive death from the hands of subalterns, front a higher quarter he has received nothing but the favour of a strong fortress.

The most numerous , and that which reckons in its ranks the most enlightened men, wish to have great changes effected in the Constitution of cadir., and that the Throne should be sur rounded with suitable splendour and dignity.

The Protestant Cause is greatly indebted to our venerable and venerated LonD CISANCELLou, for hit expressed intention of opposing-the hills which have for their object an extension of further political privileges to Itorntin Catholics. That the loyalty, property, and respectability of many mem bers of the Roman Catholic . Communion are deserving of un qualified eulogy, I am quite disposed to allow ; there is every thing good, great, anti noble amongst that Body ; but, as their admission into an extended arena of political power would be a recognition of a principle highly dangerous to our Constitu tion, I feel gratified that the measures to which I have alluded are not likely to be adopted as mere matters of course. The "proposal of putting the English Roman Catholics upon the same footing as the Irish, is certainly very plausible; but it the Parliament of one country have passed an injudicious law, is it any reason why the Parliament of another shoUld follow a bad example ? In point of fact attempts appear to be making to carry by particles what it is well knoWn cannot be effected by The Notice, or rather Bill, introduced by Dr. PRILLIMORE, for allowing Minion Catholics to be married in their own chapels, and by their own Priests, I look upon as of extreme impostance: should it pass, it will be the height of injustice to deny a similar indulgence to all classes of Dissenters who may think proper to come forward and request it ; and, if this be so, in what a humiliating situation will our venerable and peace-preserving Church be placed ! Stripped of her authority in one of the most solemn and important engagements of life, her tolerant altars will become the objects of ridicule and me morials only of that dignity and connection with the laws which they once possessed. If the Legislature give way to the wretched principle of despoiling the Church of the privileges which, were gained for her by the blood of those who opposed RebelliOn and Popery, and whose exertions placed her lofty spires and towers as so many beacons to warn succeeding generations against Popery on the one hand, and fanaticism On the other, 1, for one, say, that the system has commenced, which wilreventually lead to a repetition of those national mis fortunes—the pressure of which our ancestors so severely ex perienced. We hear much said against Orangeism and political associa tions; but , what is so likely to drive the friends of the Esta blishment into institutions of this description, as the weakening of that connection with the subjects in general of the country, which the Church of England has hitherto possessed ? Let each one chuse .his own creed, and pay his worship where he pleases ;_but should he dissent from the National Religion, let him feel, that althargh he is free to . dissent, it is necessary for him once to approach the national altars and recognize their existence. The principle contended for in the Bill to which I have referred would, if pursued, extend to church rates, tithes, and every.other species of church revenue. No doubt the Ro- Man Catholic feels a conscientious objection not only to enter ing; but to contributing to the support of (what he believes) an heretical Establishment ; and Dissenters, aided by the reflec tion of 'Noithern Luminaries; begin to see that they ought not to support a Church f r om which they blindly conceive they receive no benefit, but which, in point of fact, is the keystone of the arch which upholds every, description of Protestantism in this country, -1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, Leicester, July 7, 111•23.

Thel.e will b a grand, review in Hyde Park on Friday next," by his Royal Highness the Duke of Yong, of four battalions of the• Foot Guards, consisting of the 3d bona Rom of the grenadiers, urider the command of Colonel Jones; the let and 2d battalion of the Coldstream, the farmer under the command of Colonel llouverie, the latter under that of Co lonel :Mcdonnell; and the let battalion of the 3d regiment, under the command of Cohinel Clitheroe. A similar instance of so many battalions of this corps being reviewed at the same time has not occurred in the memory of the oldest soldier in the three regiments ; and, from the excellent state of discip line in which the whole are, it will no doubt prove a grand and imposing spectacle. Colonel Woodford, of the Coldstream, as the senior held officer of the brigade, will take the command of the field. The Corporation of Drogheda have voted the, freedom of the burgh to, 311\jor-General Sir Henry Torrens, K.C.B. and K.T.S. for his distinguished military services and official urbane kindness. The freedom of Cork has been unanimously voted to 11 r. Serjeant Torrens; Lieut.-Colonel French, Carbineers ; Sir Hugh Gough, 2`24 Foot; Lieut.-Colonel Mitchell and Major Logan, Rifle Brigade.

From the brief extracts which we were yes• terday enabled to give from the Paris Papers Papers brought by our Express, our Readers would perceive with pleasure that MINA bud succeeded in reaching Barcelona ; and although the French, as usual, endeavour to make it be believed that he was accompanied only by a very small number of men, their former statements re specting this distinguished Chieftain have been so notoriously false, that no reliance whatever con now be placed on their representations. But it appears that nothing has been heard for fifteen days of the division of General DONNIDIL, ex cept a rumour that it had been engaged with MISA ! We stated -some days ago ,that the Spanish Legation in London hail received Re= counts which affirmed that MINA had defeated a corps of the French ; and the silence of the hench Authorities respecting the force under tia command of DoNNAnice, and the rumour, on the other haw!, of a 'ada, in which it is said to have been engaged, induce us to hope that the intelligence received by the Spanish Le gation w..s well-founded, and that a blow of some of importance has been struck by the Constitutionalists in Catalonia. MINA:i movement to Barcelona having united the va rious Catalonian corps, the development of the future intentions of the enterprising Spanish leader will be anxiously expected ;.and we shall not be surprised if he is shortly seen conducting offensive operations on a large scale. The gar rison of Lerida made a formidable sortie on the 17th, with I.Boo . men and two pieces of cannon; but the French modestly suppress all the parti culars of the affair which ensued, and only en flounce that the column was obliged to-retire, PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS: ILIOUSE OF COMMONS.
