Mr. L EsTRANGE the Chair. Mr. John A. Curran was requested ,sleeting as. secretary. T h e a d vert i sement conven i ng was read. I ,t h e Rer.

If we are unfortu ,, Y comp e ll e d to put upon record the grievances w e 'cil oppress us, and the contumelies with which e re tesSailed, our justification in the opinion of the lie must be their conduct.

Th ere is one parti -10 r complaint which, I regret to say, is too well b ond ed ; i n a d vert i ng t o w hi c h, I trust, you will not hsider me as actuated b y any o th er f ee li n gs than o b s e of disinterested friendship and Christian cha- I with sorrow allude to the too general inat- Vcion to s o b r i e ty an d frugality.

I cannot better i ldl Inplify the advantage that will .be derived from ,1 0 4 line of conduct, than by the following once t4 to young woman in the family of a Protes -114 Bishop (of Clogher, if I recollect rightly, not 1 7 Jocely n Bishop) entertaining some conscientious .iiPles in attending family worship , called on me advice as her spiritual director as to how she ould act. I told her, should his Lordship insist her a t ten di ng to tell him her religious scruples, 11(1 that if she was ' unfaithful to what she should } inside r h er d u ty to God, how could he depend on . 11 ,r fidelity t o him. She told him so, and the good dot res p ec ted her conscientious objections by insisting on her attendance. He formed so rd an opinion of her in consequence, that in a on time she was raised to the first situation in L's Lordship's household. It happened on one k :rasion a quantity of plate was unaccountably made ,'been with, and the interference of a magistrate had required to investigate the circumstance. It be necessary to examine all the domestics on oath. The young female I have just alluded to was the last When the book was tendered tc her, the 11i shop held back the hand of the Magi strate, saying there was no necessity to swear her, ;%, he had implicit confidence in her word ; she was `, i tited to d ec l ar e as to her knowledge of the matter, Gild after much reluctance she confessed that though possessing no positi7e information, there were cir ‘erostances which led her to suspect that o n e of the se rvants (who:,: she subsequently named) was im v„t'Lleated ; the trunk of this person. was instantly :I'arched, and the missing property found; this per :!,la was a Protestant, and held a most confidential ~ Pace in the Bishop's house; the circumstance led to tt he dismissal of every servant in the house but her 'l/elf; she alone was retained, and . continueg at this f foment a striking illustration of the adage, that `honesty is the best policy." The Rev. Gentle ,tnao sat down amidst immense cheering. Mr. STAUNToN had prepared a series of resolu -."ons for the adoption of the meeting, wh ich he would 3,..4bniit to them in the course of this day's proceedings. ge had called together, on a previous day, a meet 4'g of 150 persons of the description present; the %tatements made by many of whom would be par ticularly useful on this occasion. In calling for the be information, it would be our wish it sh ould lo communicated in such a way as should not tend t o compromise the feelings or interests of the perbill forward by any public mention of their This can be obviated by attaching a nume !tal character to each individual, by which his or h er identity will be sufficiently distinguishable. To Ltleidate this plan, I will now call on a person I " 4 re in my eye, a land steward, whose discharges 14 recommendation's are of the highest character; Will attach No. 1 to his name, and the statement " shall:make. Mr. S. having beckoned, a respectable _1 came forward; he stated that , for the last 30 „ j e4 rh he had been employed as a lati . d steward ; s Qule of his employers were noblemen of the first • "osequence ; he is nine months out of employment, and has, in two instances, been rejected , on account of his being a Catholic. Mr. Staunton read some of his di sc harges and recommendations from seve ral `‘",_irel characters, which contained most unquestion tie testim on i a ls of excellent character, knowledge of h ilsiness, exe mplary sobriety, and unimpeachable ° ) ?esty. A nobleman and gentleman to whom he Ir=a lat e l y ma d e a ppli c ation for employment, could i' l l , l ,Ot refuse a ju s t tribute to his excellent moral, and Piofessi ona l character, but he was a. papist ! 1 Another individual, a butler, then came forward, and after exhibiting a pile of discharges and recom triendations, equally creditable, some of which were read, he stated thlt, during, two months he had been out of a situation, he had been five times rejected ; on account of his creed, as a Catholic. Mr. Staun ton observed, that innumeralde other instances of a like tendency would be adduced, to prove that a persecution to a great extent existed on the Present occasion. Mr. LAWLESS concluded an admirable and elo quent speech, by moving the first resolution, which was seconded, by. Mr. Staunton. In reading this re solution, an extract from Doctor Magee's evidence before the House, iii . 1825, was read from a number of the Btening Mail ) which sufficiently exposed the backii?gs.Otem so undeviatingly pursued by his Grace, and the systematic progress of etclusioif in respect to Catholic servants, which has taken place tinder his auspices. Mr. STAUNTON Eald, that of thirty persons usually in his employment in one department, and three or four in another, besides his domestic establishment of three servants, he never made any inquiry as to• their religious tenets, till Doctor Magee's backing system began to be acted upon. There is now in his domestic establishment one Protestant servant, who, on her application to him, he was about to re ject in consequence of the s ystem so generally adopted by Protestants; but that he, notwithstand ing, tool; her into his service, in which she has now continued for some time, and acts with the greatest fid,:ay. I have, however, began the retaliatory system, and will persevere in it so long as it is con tinued on the other side; but in mercantile or com mercial transactions the exclusive system shall not have my support. A person, who said his name was M'Kenna, ad dressed the Chair, and in no very measured language, begged to express his dissent from the course of pro ceeding recommended by the Rev. Chairman. After endeavouring to obtain a hearing, by professing him self a Roman Catholic, &c., he proposed a motion of adjournment, which not being seconded, the Chair man took no notice of it. M'Kenna was at last pre vailed upon to be silent; the Rev. Chairman spoke to order, and requested that the business of the meeting might. be suffered to proceed. Another ser vant came forward, who produced his discharges, and stated, that he had been but a short,time out of em ployment, and had made several applications for ser vice, but had been rejected in consequence of being a Catholic. Among many instances of rejection, a lady in Mount-street told him she did not inquire about his religion, all that she required was that he should read the Bible and attend family worship. The poor fellow, unwilling to act the hypocrite, would net consent to any conditions incompatible with full liberty of conscience and declined. The Rev. CHAIRMAN remarked, that the conduct of many individuals, in other respects valuable and exalted chrzacters, was Not only reprehensible, but somewhat fatuitous, in making it a condition with their servants that they should conform exteriorly to whatever system of worship these old women in ,breeches should think proper to adopt; besides dis turbing the peace of their domestic circles, they en courage in their servants, whom they compel to assume the mask of hypocrisy, a dereliction of their religious principles, or rather an abandonment of all principle, which sooner or later must recoil on them selves, from the little fidelity they have to expect from persons whom they have contributed to make unfaithful to their God. _ _ Mr. M'Kenna was again about to address the Chair, when The CHAIRMAN informed him, that while his ob servations were decorous he had been heard with at tention, but that having conducted himself other wise, he should not be heal d any further. A SERVANT rose and stated his wonder that any individual acquainted with the condition of servants in Dublin, should have expressed himself in such language as had been addressed to the chair by 111‘Kenna. It was not the object of the meeting, as alleged by that individual, to sever Protestant from Catholic, but to establish a case of the persecution endured by,servants of the Catholie religion. Several servants here CEiIIIC forward, and stuted in stances of their being refused employment in conse quence of their religion. The first resolution was then put and carried. was to this effect :—That owing to the evidence of Dr. Magee, reported in the Parliamentary documents, a system of rejecting Catholic servants had been for some time in operation amongst a great portion of the Protestant inhabitants of Dublin. A GENTLEMAN belonging to Messrs. Sawyer and Co.'s Agency Office, rose to contradict the aver ments of the resolution. The company to which he belonged had a registry office, and amongst others, for various purposes, there was one for the encou ragement of servants of good and moral character and capability. Every servant, no matter what his farm of religion might be, was alike acceptable to them, and impartially - provided for. A servant here rose, whose appearance bespoke the need and oppression which stared in his eye, and called the registry clerk a swindler. The same epithet was echoed by a hundred tonges ; you are a rogue and a schemer (said this servant.) I went nine months ago to your office, and was told that no em ployment could be got for me. The Registry Officer protested that there was no truth in what had been stated by the last servant who spoke. I'll mention to you, Mr. Chairman, (said he) the facts—About nine months ago that person with a worn-out appearance—(here the hisses and cries of " the swindler," were repeated with encreased energy.) The CHAIRMAN was obliged to interfere. After a-most patient expostulation, the Reverend Gentleman succeeded in restoring order. Mr. J. J. MURPHY then rose and pronounced one of the keenest and most forcible pieces of eloquent invective upon the abstract Catholic and the regis try clerk, that we have heard for a considerable time. Mr. Murphy was vehemently applauded throughout, and concluded by proposing a series of resolutions almost to the same effect as the above. Mr. LOUGHNAN seconded the resolutions: The Registry Clerk here wished to state why he attended the present meeting. It was not with any view to oppose the proceedings that might be recommended, but to co-operate with the gentle men who had assembled for the purpose of forward ing them. With respect to what had been said re garding his allusion to the seedy appearance of the servant, he begged that it would not be attributed to him, that, he used the expression with any ill intention. Mr. STAUNTON then read a series of resolutions, prepared by himself for the consideration of the meeting, and concluded by moving, with their adoption, that the following gentlemen be named as a Committee to receive such well authenticated in formation, as each servant could contribute from his or her own experience :—The Rev. Chairman, Da niel O'Connell, Richard Sheil, John Lawless, Chris topher Fitzsimon, J. J. Murphy, Michael Staunton, J. A. Curran, Peter Loughnan, John O'Loughnan, Richard Barrett, John Redmond, and J. O'Hagan. The above were carried with acclamation. Mr. J. A. CURRAN delivered au effective address, throughout which he was loudly cheered. The Rev. CHAIRMAN then rose, and exhorted the assembly in the most Christian and forcible man ner, to bear their Protestant brethren no on account of what occurred at the meeting, nor carry home with them any feelings save those of charity and benevolence, even to their deluded persecutors. The meeting then separated in the most orderly manner. It is reported that Mrs. PENROSE, the %v . & of Mr. PENROSE, who was killed on Thursday, whilst hunting, fell a victim to fright, as she died immediately on hearing of hi* misfortune.—Limerick Chronicle. A great many watrants, and other official do cuments, were received yesterday at the three offices of the Secretaries of State, the office of the Commander-in= Chief, and other Government offices, from the Royal Lodge, which had received his frhartsTr's signature.

S.—This week has been rather bariEn of remarkable events, for we earl no longer call so the dally impris onmeN ts. Not a single day passes without some OUtt a g e o f this kind : they are become as familiar as the plague among the Turks. Some interesting facts, how ever, have occurred, to show that the power of the tyrant is declining. The degree of eagerness with which all ac counts of our young Queen ate sought after and enjoyed is really astonishing. They are copied by thousands, and spread, not only over all Lisbon, but all through Portugal, in spite of the military, civil, and clerical inquisitions of the despot. This has grown to an extent that makes him tremble on his throne ; and it is on this ac count that we have been treated, in the Gazette of the sth instant, with a new and third ordi.; nance from the Ministry of Justice against the authors and writers of such accounts said to be originally printed in Lisbon and at Oporto, and not in England, as they purport to be—a most impudent and foolish falsehood, for every one can very easily verify the fact that it is from your daily newspapers that such copies are exactly transcribed. The object of the in quisitors is to persuade the lower classes that even the existence of such information from England is false, which proves how low they are reduced, as nothing but a wanton and impudent denial of the truth can assist them in their des- pair. New permanent judicial inquiries are in stituted by that ordinance; but they certainly will not be able to enforce it, as the culprits are too numerous to be all seized, and arc daily multiplying by the effect of tyranny and star vation. I lately mentioned to you that even in the walls and in the halls of Miguel's palace, pro clamations attributed to D©n Pedro, and violent diatribes against the usurper and his mother, were found. I then was not aware that on that day the palace had . been guarded by part of one of our militia regiments, although I told you that all the sentries had been put in irons to go through a court-martial. I have since learned that the whole regiment has been condemned to a year of constant permanent duty ! Only consider hat faithful partisans of Miguel must be the poor tradesmen and journeymen, most, of them having families, who are thereby condemned to labour for a whole year without being able to earn any thing for themselves: As to the seven teen sentries under sentence, every one expects that they will be flogged to death, or if they survive, be sent to die in Africa. In our Gazette of the sth you will find, after the usual abuse of the Marquis of Palmella, that the Emperor Don Pedro is accused of being worse than Napoleon,—nay, worse even than Robespierre ; and this is said in the official paper of his younger brother, his subject ! On the 4th it was St. Charles's-day, and, consequently, the old Queen Charlotte / s festivity, as well as that of the King of France's. It was pleasant enough for us to see it celebrated dis tinctly in our harbour by Miguel's ships of war in honour of his mother, and by the French fri gate _Thetis, on account of Charles X. ; and this time the Miguelites enjoyed most heartily the ne cessity in which the French Commander would be of celebrating the' i day with them, and of saluting at the same time, or after them, by which they might impress On the rabble that the old Queen was particularly worshipped by the French Govern ment, until matters should be arranged in favour of Miguel ; but the Frenchman outwitted them completely, by saluting in the noon of the day before, and on the following, by firing always a quarter of an hour before the Miguelites, leaving to theM the appearance of following his example and of paying their respects to his King, whose flags floated nobly all over his rigging. • Another circumstance that put the wretches in great despair on that day was, that the French brig of war cruising before our bar, when close in sight of the frigate, hoisted all his colours and saluted his Sovereign. This being taken for old Charlotte or Miguel by the com mander of one of the forts, was immediately re turned, whilst the French brig was making off to sea, and laughing heartily at the Miguelites. As usual, there ivas a levee on the same day, but it was so thinly attended, that the party was frightened at the desertion. The number of Court visiters did not reach 200 ; besides, the officers of the garrison and, shocking to say, a whole company, drummer and all, of the royal volunteers, appeared there among the fine ladies, who were quite scandalized at such associates. Of course partial illumination at night as the cannon had roared : all the water of the fountains wasting, and the streets by which the despot was to pass to go to the theatre deserted as on his birth-day. This time, however, all was of no use, as he sent word that he would u.s.t go, after the public had been waiting long for. him. That resolution was attributed to bad news received from the Minho, where the guerillas are acquir ing every day more strength. Lately one of them entered at night the town of Basto, where a great number of innocent pri sonersdusotetraceioislioleildnuitieti:n gaol, h a liberty, ve be w c w e o i r m t e h e o and set all at longer in relythe iitihgatattihyeyexacpepsesa.r Theysome times very near Oporto, and put* the Miguelite c a a u n th n or o ities (7 0 7 1 at t e h s e t p tr e o r o p p le s x . ity s , ,c a m s e tl a ie r y e b distrusted because they have always been inclined to the charter, and others, because they are not paid. At the fortress of Elvas, a very serious con flict was near taking place a few days ago, be cause two battalions of infantry, led by Miguelite officers, were induced to insult the 3d Regunent of Cavalry, on account of its known loyal senti ments for Donna Maria da Gloria. In conse quence, this regiment mounted, and was going to charge the infantry ; but the General and all the civil authorities interfered immediately, and after all sorts of satisfaction, induced them to leave the fortress, and go to Vortalegre. On their. way, some of the Miguelite magistrates, informed Of the motive of their removal from Elvas, re fused them provisions and forage ; but the soldiers got them by force, punishing the ma gistrates and inhabitants who were weak enough to obey them. " It is said that an equal conflict was also about to take place in the' same way at Campo Maior i between the Bth Regiment of Cavalry and a battalion of Cagadores, influenced by the priests, aid that the former was removed to Evora in consequence. " Some days ago a number of innocent poli- tical prisoners arrived at Alentejo, under a great escort of infantry, who at first refused to perform that shamef6l service.

A GOVERNMENT DEFAULTER.—A defal cation, on the part of a person holding a confidential si tuation in an office in Somerset-house, to the amount, it is rumoured, of 20,000/., has been discovered within these few days. The delinquent has, it is said, arranged his plans so well—and so little suspicion, up to the time of the discovery of his defalcation, was attached to him—that but little expectation is entertained that the defaulter can be made to answer for his offence. The individual in question obtained leave of absence, in the beginning of September, for a month, on pretence of going into the country. Not returning at the expiration of that time, some inquiries were instituted at the beginning of last week, when a discovery of a defalcation to the above-stated amount was made. At the same time it was ascertained that the defaulter had absconded. The place of his retreat has not been yet ascertained ; it is, however, feared that the defaulter bas availed himself of the opportunity afforded him by, the absence of suspicion for so long a period, to get beyond the reach of pursuit.-31orniny Herald. LUCA GIORDANO was so remarkable for the celerity of his pencil, that he acquired the nick-name of Luca fa presto, " LUKE MAKEHASTE ;" and was in this respect a contrast to CARLO Da.ct, who was singularly slow in his manner of working; and it is reported of him that his brain was affected by seeing LUKE despatch more business in four or five hours than he could have done in as many months. SELDEN, in his History of Tithes, says that they were anciently disposed of by the owners of the land where they arose, at their pleasure, to such monasteries, and in such portions, as they thought proper. tvery per son fonuding a church for his owu use, and that of his te nants, appropriated to it the tithes of his lands. STATE OF TRADE.--There has again been a very brisk demand for twist for shipping, and prices, for some torts, we believe, have experienced a trifling advance. The purchases now making are chiefly for the German mar kets, the buyers for which have kept aloof until this time, in the hope that when the Russian orders we re-executed, they might come in on more favourable terms. This ex pectation has not been realised ; and they ate Anted, at the end of the season, and with no stocks pressing on the. market, to make their purchases. In Haniburgh also, we understand, the stocks are very light ; so that there seems no doubt of the briskness continuing so long as the Elbe remains open. Manufactured goods are still dull. We have heard of some very large sales of power-loom cloth this week, but at very low prices. We regret to say, there have been further failures in Glasgow, to a considerable extent, both in the shipping and yarn trades.—/licuschester Mercury. BLISTERED FEET.—The following mode of cure was communicated to Captain Cocuttaxe, and which he says he never found to fail:—" It is simply to rub the feet at going to bed, with spirits mixed with tallow dropped from a lighted candle into the palm of the hand. On the following morning no blisters exist ; the spirits seem to possess the healing power, the tallow serving only to keep the skin soft and pli a nt. Th e sol e s of the feet, the ancles, and insteps, should be rubbed well ; and even whe re no blisters exist, th e app li ca ti on ma y b e use fully madeas a i l preventive. Salt and water is a good substitute--and while on this head, I would recommend foot-travellers never to wear right and left shoes ; it is bad economy, and inded serves to cramp the feet ; and such I felt to be the case.' — Cochrane's Pedestrian Tour.- The following is so extraordina r y a s p ecimen of what can be done by a person wh o can write, that we should not consult the amuseme nt of our readers did we not publish it, letter for lette r, as we received it : " to the Edeter of t he Brighton .Herlad i e n h the And family Nvo way let her suck well l ast Mond y the ol d Anitnall was confind And den up the set " Sir A Most Curie And Extro y dn y thing as our Readers oftin hear in a house on the ri g ht hand side of Lowr Roc k gardins Leading from hieratic Parade to St. Jame ses st ther is a very fine cat there that in A p rill last had a Link of very fine kitins o ne of them was kee p t And suc kled her Mother hoo was very kind to her till withn this Last wee k L t it b le dau g h t e r very very heavy with out much asistance the ol d Lady the Mrs of the cat drownded the young fatnly then the old cat become very old Poor ca Painefull with her milk the Craftness of the old eat Pre tend to be very fond of the former kitin and cudild it and huged it to Get it to suck againe and what is very extroy day. thing to me the wonderful large kitin took t o the at again i wonder if my mother could get me to suck :vine now if she was to try Mr. EdeterPremit to beg of you to Publish , this in your very usefull and iutresting Paper ok!

The prospects for the poor Spanish refugees begi►►ning in sonic degree to brighten, the friends of htrn4anity will look With natural i►opatience tci the daily arltount of subscriptions, which, of course, the counrthige, or those individuals who • have been hitherto rO5l. forward to constitute the quor um acting in its name, of course submit regularly to public inspection. The rnt'eting about to be presided over by the Lord Mayor Neill form a crisis ill the fate of theseun- exiles t ' ?lld 0 . 4 e by and w e are satisfied that nothing v the Chief Magistrate, or ftrosc who act, in co - operation with his Lordship , to render that auspicious day as fruitful of bless ings to the destitute , as of honour and inward peace to their benefactors. Above all things, it % i happyl)e left would be desirable that previous arrangements ;should be agreed upon for giving-the most abun dant effect to the generous feelings of the public. A subscription will, of course, be entered into on the spot, and - a - notification made of the bank ing-houses ready to receive further contribu .. , tions. .A. specific appointment should be an nounced of certain . tradeSmen's houses in the most public streets of London and Westminster, ithere books may be opened for the record of nameg i however humble, and sums however small ; and where boxes marked " Distressed Spaniards" may be placed on the counters, being first sealed over the lock with the seal of the Secretary, and one or more of the Committee. A narrow hole ought to be cut in the lid of the box in which the contributor, alter signing his name in the book, may deposit his money, and the book and box, after some days, be both at the same time. delivered up on the requisition of the Committee. The expediency of circular visits throughout the town may be considered before the meeting, and there discussed, some authority being shown by the parties to prove that th,tv Act-on behalf of the Spanish Commit tee.. We /i,ould strenuously' recommend and supplicate, that time measures -. for the relief of these unfortunate people should not be confined to Tionden. Why: should not the rich and ge nerous eonamiliiitreS . •of Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, &c: &c., be rivals of the metropolis in deeds of merry, as well as in_ those efibrts of science and industry from which the fountains of beneficence are supplied? We re peat our respectful solicitation to the clergy of England in a cause so worthy of their liberal character, and of their sacred calling, that they will join their pereoia . infinertee over the better portions OF society,' Of . So many of its most distinguished laymen, for the fur therance of a work so eminently virtuous and Christian. Amongst an immense multitude of letters, we have received two from Dissent ing Clergymen near London, whose exertions from the pulpit last year obtained very con siderable sums. for the use of these unhappy objects. After the motley shall have reached the hands of the Committee, we doubt not that it will be distributed with impartial kindness and regularity among those for whose relief . it is designed. . No individual , ho wever eons i n, cuous—Spanish or English—we are sure, will be suffered by the Committee to employ success fully his personal interest, in favour of any friends or dependents, to the exclusion of equal claims in other quarters, or to the creation of any well 'founded jealousies among people, whose extreme privation and cruel suffering must naturally ren der them keen-sighted to the treatment experi enced both by themselves and by their fellows. We merely throw out these general hints, be- ' cause however numerous or distinguished may be the names upon the list of the Committee, still if the realty acting persons be but few (as is the case with most charities), it is the more essential for them to be cautious of affording even a shadow of pretence for murmur. In the mean time let no effort be relaxed on any side to produce the Means of prompt and effectual suc cour. The question for the poor exiles is bread or famine.—Times. It will be recollected that in the course of the last Session of Parliament, we spoke of a sum of mone)•honourablv paid by the French Govern ment to that of this country, in liquidation of the claims of all our fellow-subjects upon France. —The money thus paid was assigned to certain British Commissioners, to be by them doled out `Foods to their countrymen in proportion to their esta blished claims, or undisputed debts due from France. So far the transaction was just and equitable on all sides. But i t somehow or other got wind, that of this • m one y; du e only to the ed (in deed, a quarter of a million) had been paid over by r the Commissioners of a to considerable the Surveyor o portion odsf and Forests, and had been from him withdrawn, creditors or by him surrendered, to pay the current ex peaces of building palaces. This, no doubt, was a very nefarious transaction, and a very painful discovery. However, it was asserted that the real claimants on the Freneli - Government were satisfied, or that there' was a suspension of their deinands from the difficulty of proving their debts ; but that, -whenever well-authentica ted claims were advanced, they should be sa tisfied ; in truth, that we had made rather a Sharp bargain with our too easy neighbours, and could screw a palace, or part of a palace, out of the extortions which we had practised upon them. This also was disgraceful, and we do not wonder that a palace has s ucceeded so ill which has been built upon such a principle. But what will be said if the just and bond fide claimants on the French nation "be Dot satisfied ? We have heard at least that the Commissioners for the liquidation of their debts, paid them a divi dend some months since, which it was • • intimated was to be the last, on account of the alleged Want of funds ; but which dividend amounted in the whole to only 531. per cent. upon the allowed debts ! The 250,0001., it •is asserted, which has been taken for p alace-buildinu, would sup ply the other 471.,and thus would the French Government pay, as they ought to be allowed to pay, 20s. in the pound to British claimants. In any way, this appears to us to be a disgraceful transaction to the British nation. If we have driven an extortienate bargain with the French, it will cast a discredit upon all our pecuniary transactions with other Governments, and justify the Emperor of 'Austria for his disregard of our claims upon him, and he scanty manner in which he- has met them. If we have stopped or - diverted the current of foreign bounty in its progress to our own subjects, we have acted dishonestly at home, and shall paralyze our own efforts in future to procure justice for British creditors from foreign debtors. Proceedings, we believe, have been instituted in the Court of King's Bench, with a view to getting the quarter of a million restored ; and unusual efforts have, we hear, been made to baffle the attempt by technical ob. . jections. • But can the Commissionerers have sworn that the money intrusted to them for a specific purpose is exhausted, when they have a
