ppntn OT not. Wit tame to-the vote, be should certainly give' . hittagninst putting the question. Mr. BROUGII AM agreed'with the Right Hon. Gentleman - in opinion, but he objected to coming to such a vote, because `the Sheriff thought the examination of the grand jury essential to defence. If he were asked whether he thought that to be - the case or not, he could most conscientiously declare that he -did not. Mr. DAWSON maintained that the grand jurymen ought , to he examined. Mr. TIERNEY thought that when they came to any.of the . jurymen who declined answering, that would be the time for -the discussion, as to the power and right of the House to en -force the questions. Mr. Secretary Ciorstwo and Mr. TrcnNEY explained. Mr. KEIT Li DOUGLAS fetid, that rather than suffer the propond examination to go on; it would be better to move . - that the Chairman report progress, and obtain leave to sit again that day six weeks. Sir J. MALI wrom was of opinion that they must either wait until a case arose where a juryman refused to answer, or come at once to a vote, declaratory, not of the right of the. House, but of the expediency of declining further investiga tion i nto that branch of the subject. If so, he should vote against it, for the reasons stated by his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham). It would be a great injustice to the parties who claimed it as a means of defence. Sir 4;. HILL expressed his conviction that it would be very much for the interest anti advantage of the country, if the in • quiry were to stop where it was. He thought the conduct of the grand jury could have no bearing upon the real question before the House. Mr. PLUNKETT said he objected to the question not be cause he thought it important in itself, but in order that the .• Committee might decide upon the abstract-question of the right of the House to ask questions of a grand juryman upon mat ters that he had sworn to keep secret, and whether the exercise of that right was proper and expedient. They must either de tide upon putting such questions, or else, in justice to the grand Jury, they must expunge from their minutes all that had passed upon that part of the subject. Mr. It. SM r H considered that there were not weighty con siderations enough to call upon the :house to exercise such a power in the present case. lie should therefore move a Iteso lutioril " That under all the circumstances of this case, it is the , opinion of the Committee that it is not expedient to pro ceed with an inquiry into any thing that passed before the grand jury: " Colonel BARRY said he would agree to the resolution, pro sided it were understood that nothing should be expunge d from the minutes, He was contented to rest the case of the grand • jury upon the evidence as it stood. Mr.- Secretary PEEL suggested that they should go 'on with evidence upon other points, and not fetter themselves with any decision of this nature, until they knew better what might be necessary to the inquiry. Mr. BROUGHAM thought this the very best practical way of getting out of the difficulty. Colonel BARUY then proceeded with his witnesses. John Davis called anti examined.—l know a person of the name of Hone. 1 recollect some days, probably three or four, before the striking of the January grand jury, Mr. Hone re quested the sheriff to put him on the pannel; the sheriff ob jected because he was considered a man of strong party feel ings. Understands by a high piyty man, a high ascendancy man. Knew nothing of is subscription for dressing the s tatue . e The witness then withdrew. William Carpenter called and examined by Colonel BARRY. Knows Mr. Poole ; a few days before the Commission, heard a conversation between him anch Mr. Sheriff Thorpe, Mr. Poole wished to be put on the pannel, and the sheriff said he was astonished-he could not, as the panne" was made out he tween his brother sheriff and himself. Mr. Poole said, if he were put on; he would not meddle with the business of the riot at the theatre. There was a case coming on, in which be' was interested, and the sheriff refused for that reason. By Mr. S. RICE—I belong to an Orange association, and did at the time 1 was put on the pannel. By Mr. R. SMITII—When this conversation passed, there was only myself, Mr. Poole, and , Sheriff Thorpe, present. It took place in the sheriff's box. I was between Poole and the sheriff; and they spoke across me. Witness had only a general acquaintance with Poole. Had known such applications made to sheriffs before ; had himself applied to Sheriff White to have a friend put on the panne', which was done. By Mr. HUME—Q. Does the wittiest take 'an oath as an Orangeman ?—A. I do. Q. Has he any objection to state the nature of it ?—I reeol lect that the principle is to support the King and Constitution. Q. Is there any thing else ?—A. I do not recollect. Q. Could you not support the King and Constitution without the oath ? The witness was here ordered to withdraw. Some Conversation passed as to the propriety of putting these questions after which the witness was recalled, and the mi.. Inination proceeded. Mr. HUME said, it was extraordinary the witness did not know what the oath was.—(A cry of 44 Read.") [The..answer_sttthis witness. Short,hand to support the King and Constitution.] . The witness was called in again. Examined by Mr. HtrAtE.—lle had not attended an Orange Lodge ditring five months, before lie sat on the itry. Examined by Sir JAMES MACK INTOSII.—Does -the oaths you take as a Member of the Orange Association, bind you to keep an thing, and what secret ?—lt does. Q. What does it bind you to keep secret There are signs hy which Orangemen know each other. Q. Does it bind you to keep secret any thing but the signs by which Orangemen know each other P—A. I believe it does not, I cannot speak positively. Examined by Mr. JONES.—Ife knew Sheriff Thorpe; was not in the habit of visiting him ; he did nut know the Sheriff' knew he was an Orangeman. Q. What reason bad he for not knowing you were an Orange 'man P.—A. He did not know by any signs of mine that I was an Orangeman. Q. Did you keep it secret P—A. Tolerably so. Examined by Sir J. MACKINTOSH—Q. Does the oath you take hind you to be faithful to all Orangemen P—A. Yes. Q. Does the oath contain words to that effect P—A. I do not recollect. _ Doesit contain words of that meaning ?—A . 'believe it does. . Does the oath call upon you to say I will be faithful and true to my Roman Catholic brethren ?—A I believe it does. Q. Does he not recollect Saying that the words applied to Orangemen and Roman Catholics were nearly the same ? A. The word Roman Catholic is in the oath._ Q. Will you aay , the words Roman Catholic rotas to be un-' derstood in the same friendly wit, as it was appl led to Orangemen ? Mr. DAWSON moved the witness should withdraw. • Lord MILTON seconded the motion. Mr. SCARLETT observed that it was irregular to cheer a witness. Mr. BROUGHAM said, on the trial of an Illustrious Per 'son, the cheering front the Right Reverend Bench was most digusting. He said this in extenuation of the improper cheer ing in that House.—(A laugh.) The ATTORNEY-GENERA I, said, the cheering to which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman alluded, did not originate on the side of the House mentioned by that Hon. and Learned Gentiman. The evidence of the witness was then read by Mr. (JIMMY. B.IIICE said, in asking the witness whether he was en Orangeman, he did not infer that the integrity of an Orange man was doubtful, but, where his prejudice in that respect wan connected with the subject on , which he was examined, he thought the question was justified. The witness was called in.—He knew some of his brother Orangemen, and of the fourteen Common Councilmen, one oily served on the Jury; that was Mr. Cusack; there were 0o others to his knowledge t he did not know 'Joseph Lamprey was itTw Orangeman ; he had now beard that Samuel Lamprey Was an Orangeman ; one of them `he had reason to believe was an Orangeman ; Graham was not an Orangeman to his knowledge ; S. Warren was not , an Orangeman to his know." ledge; he did not know Luke Connor to be an Orangeman ; he believed Connor was a Protestant ascendancy man. lie heard " the Glorious Ascendancy" given by a Member of that House. He was at Mr. SierrifFThorpe's dinner. " The Olo rious Ascendancy" was given in the usual way. Q. What was the usual way ?-.'A. The immortal memory of the good King William ; Mr. Holmes was not an Orange man nor a Protestant ascendancy man ; Mr. A. Perrin was an Orangeman. _ _ _ Extnined by Sir G. H.trA—Tbere was nothing taken in the oath of an Orangeman that was not made public. Mr. 11 um E asked if ariy.nioney was subscribed to the Orange Institution ?—(A laugh.)--There was. The Hon. Mr. SMITH.—Da you think any saving could be made in the appropriation of then fund !—( Laughter.) Examined by Sir J. NEwpoirr.—Sheriff Thorpe pledged himself to support a particular party in the Comm . = Council. Q. What party did he mean ?_A. That party which is called thi Glorious Memory Men. Ile was asked by Mr. GRATTAN whether any pecuniary as. sistance from the Orange Lodge was given to support the Traversers ?—He answered—Not to my knowledge. He was never applied to for subscription. He did not know that he was a purple man. Mr. Stoker was the Master of his Lodge; Poole was a conciliation man. lie had been an Orange man three years. A. protestant ascendancy man was one who drank the glorious memory. The. House then resumed, and the Committee was ordered to lit again this day, The other Orders'of the Day were disposed of, and the House ,JadjournA at Oliz O'CLocx. EXPRESS . FROM PAR IS: We have received, by Express, the Paris Papers of yesterday and Wednesday. The report of the engagement between BAL. LASTEROS and the French division under General MoLyron, is alluded to in private letters from Bayonne, and in the Journals of that town, though the official bulletins are quite silent on the subject. It is not a little remarkable, that since the Stith of April, the day on which C MOLITOR entered Saragossa, no intelligence hits been received from that officer. According to the Journal dos Debats, the head quarters of the Duke d'ANiaouLEatE were, on the sth, at Miranda ; and as the Portuguese General, REGO, had previously pe netrated to the same place, in pursuit of AMA RANTE, the French and Portuguese Armies must be in contact. The Journal des D4bals seems to anticipate that they will come to blows, which, indeed, can hardly be avoided. The manner in which that Paper, however, attempts to shew that France and Portugal would not be committed by an action between their re spective armies, is extremely fallacious. According to letters from Perpignan of the 30th ult., we cannot long he without news of a serious engagement between MINA. and the troops under Marshal MoNcry. It is said by the Quotidienne that MINA had retired before the French without offering auy resistance, and had abandoned Vich and Olot; but the Pilote throws discredit upon these statements. From the Journal des 44ats of Tl n u•sday (yesterday.) NEWS FROM THE ARMY OF SPAIN. PANCORJSO, MAY (I.—The head-quarters were yesterday at Miranda. The population of the neighbourhood for several miles around flocked thither, and expressed their satisfaction at the sight of his Royal Highness the Duke d'Awnou LEME. PARIS, MAY B.—A traveller recently arrived at Vittoria from Seville, met on the whole road only a hundred or two of cavalry, and a few small bodies of infantry badly armed. The garrison of Seville consists only of 2,500 miserable militia.— The town is , very populous, and extremely Royalist in sen timent. A letter from Vittoria announces that General Don Philip de Fleyres has just - been appointed Captain-General of Arra gon. He will proceed instantly to his destination, and after joining the French Army will make his entry into Saragossa, accompanied by his Aide-de-Camp Don Castellis. ( From the iltmtitrur. ) ARMY OF THE PYRENEES. Head-quarters, Vittoria, May 2. • The Army will break 'up on the sth of May, and march oh Madrid. The Grand Head-quarters and the Corps of lleservewill pro ceed by Burgos, Aranda, Buitrago; and Alcovendas ; the Corps d'Armie, commanded by Marshal the Duke de Reggio, by Palencia, Valladolid, Segovia, Guadarama, and Galopayar ; the Corps d'Arrnee, commanded by Gen. Obert, by Tudela, Taragona, grida, Almazan, Paredes, Jadraque, Guadalaxara, and Alcala ;—the Corps d'Arm4e, commanded by General Molitor, remains on the Ebro, to act in concert with the 4th corps;—the Corps d'Armie commanded by General Bourg, whose head-quarters will he at Burgos, Is appointed to keep up the communication between St. Antler° and Madrid ;—the Corps d'Armle commanded by Prince Hohenlohe will continue the 'blockade of San Sebastian and Pampeluna, and maintain the communication between Irnn and Brivesca. FOURTH CORPS, OR ARMY OF CATALONIA. head Quarters, Peralada, April 29. The enemy continued to occupy yesterday his positions of Rezalu and Tortella. He will be attacked in them as soon as the decrease of the Fluvia will permit us to act on both banks. General Donnadieu was to arrive yesterday at Campredon.--. Ilia appearance on the flanks and rear of the enemy will not long be delayed. General de la Roche.Aymon observes the road of Gerona.— The inhabitants of that place have sent a deputation to him, in order to hasten the entry of the French troops. The Political Chief and General Bianco, at the head of from 300 to 400 militia, quitted Gerona yesterday in great haste, and took the route to Barcelona. (From Me Quolhiienne of Wednesday.) Army received letters from Catalonia, which state that the A.rmy - riTtlira it ill, aexperate cuttuitwir. a Mil. tient-rat 085 quitted the position of Vich, and it is thought that he intends ,wring to Tommie, in order that he may be able to pass the Ebro before the operations of the corps of Marshal 3loncey Anil have entirely cut off his communications with General liallasteros. News from Perpignan confirms the retreat of Mina. On the advance of two divisions of the 4th corps the enemy quitted Olot, Campredon, and all the villages near the frontiers, and retired on Bezalu, with the intention of taking up a position there ; but the approach of the French made them retire ; and our troops have entered Vich, Gerona, and Olot, where they were received with joy and enthusiasm amid cries of " Vive le Roi !" [From the Pitote qf Thursday.] The Quotidiew deceives itself, or wishes to deceive others, when it says that it has received letters front Catalonia, com municating the details which we read in its columns yesterday. We will tell the Quotidienne, if it pleases, in what street, or rather on what quay its correspondence is manufactured. [Front the Etoile of Thursday.] Calatrava is decisively one of the new Ministry formed by the King at Seville. VITTORIA, APRIL 20.—Segovia has been evacuated by the Constitutional troops, which opens to us the road to Madrid. [From the Journal des Dads of Wednesday.] We think It necessary to remark that some Journals, in mentioning that the Count of Amarante has just effected a junction with the French Army, have made an incorrect report. It is known that the Duke d'Angouleme positively declined the co-operation of the Portuguese General, because France was not at war with Portugal. An Aide-de-Camp of Count of Amarante having arrived at Burgos to make propositions to the Duke de Reggio, the Marshal refused to listen to him, and even to see him, for the reason assigned by the Duke d'Angouleme. Truly we cannot carry our good faith further. But should the Count of Amarante now join the Spanish Royalists, we have no right to prevent him; and should General Rego, who pursues the Count, present himself before our soldiers in the enemy's ranks, most certainly he will be driven back. But all this does„ not involve us with Portugal, any more than we are Involved with England because Sir Robert Wilson is going to fight in the armies of the Spanish Cortes, and perhaps may be killed by a French ball. (Front the Constitntionnel elVednerday. ) [Extract from our ,Private Correspondence.] BAYONNE, MAY I.—Though very near the Array, we re. ceive but little news, and it would appear that for some days past matters are at a stand still. St. Sebastian and Pampeluna are still invested, which how ever does not pr event t h ose two places from receiving every ne. cessary supply. The Official Bulletin announces that the citadel of Jaca had been occupied by the troops of the Faith, but it is silent as to the manner in which the possession was obtained. This fortress was given up by the Com. mandant, and with the exception of a few soldiers who sur rendered with him, the Garrison retired, and has gone to join by cross roads the Army of Ballasteros. They still speak of the engagement which was said to have taken place in the plain of Rincou, near Tudela and Cala. horra, between Generals Ballasteros and Molitor; but the official Bulletins continue silent respecting this event. Several reports announce to us that our Army has just sem Lta its rear the first Guerillas ; who have, it is reported, carried off a waggon laden with military, effects, in the nDighbou rho a • of Salinas.

Neapolitan, for Account, Highest- 76 Lowest Spanish Highest Lowest The fotlowng are extracts from Bayonne Pa pers, received this morning :-- BAYONNE, MAY I.—The Gard du Corps left us yester day, and it appears that there eagerness for war has been rather diminished since they have learnt a little about the country where it is to be carried on. We now see every day persons who come from the army, and who can give us a true account of what is passing there. It cannot be denied that we advance. But this can hardly be called a conquest, where there is no enemy to vanquish; since he seems to fly before us, as if it is his intention to draw the army to the ground which he has chosen to fight upon.— This makes the soldiers march with the greatest precaution, expecting every moment to be - attacked. Meantime the Prince does not seem tobe so convinced as he was at first, of the feel iity of a conquest by the assistance of the population, which gives him no succour. The Army of the Fsith has not increased as it was expected to, nor have the Constitutional troops deserted their colours..-L The heavy artillery is not yet brought up before St. Sebastian and Pampeluna. We are assured that the troops that were at Jaca have joined Ballasteros, who has had a pretty smart action on the Ebro, with the rear-guard of General Molitor. We have just received certain news that the Portuguese Ge neral, Rego, has entered Spain, with 6,000 infantry and 2,400 cavalry. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

The Republican Partizan Chiefs were concentrating their forces at Puebla, for the purpose .of attacking the Emperor of -Mexico, who has about 2000 attached to him, with the Indian population generally in his favour.— It was the general opinion there would be no fighting, and that the Emperor would seek. his personal safety by flight, or make some arrange. / 4 . oy which be might permitted to retire as a private citizen." We are happy to hear that the KING was yesterday considered in so improved a state, that there is every likelihood of his MA.I EST Y being able to hold a Drawing l hi ti n ' Course of next week.

On Tuesday last a dreadful fire broke out upon Bagshot Beath, in the vicinity of the Royal Military College, which continued to burn for several hours without in termission, and caused great consternation. Had it not been for the well-timed exertions of the gentlemen cadets of the Royal Military College, it must have occasioned considerable damage. It is supposed to have been the act of incendiaries, and proper inquiries are carrying on to discover them if possible. TWF:NTY MOUSAND POUNDS A MONTH ! Cmutom.

Fortunately the gentleman pulled up very promptly and prevented further mischief. The young lady was carried into a surgeon's, and whilst there, another lady was crossing ex actly on the same spot, and met with a similar accident. Neither of the ladies were materially injured.
