C. klu'rctuNsort thought that the Noble Lord was ,entity hi to the gratitude of the coun try, for his endeavours to eradicate this painfor disease. The preterence given Was not to Sir W. Adams, hut to his mode of practice. Mr. BARHAM opposed the motion. Lord EntuNoToN had visited the Hospital along with the Noble Lord, and could .•ouch for the correctness of the statements made by his Lord- ship. Lord CASTLF.REAGH thought, that it was travel ling out of the hue which hart been usthilly pur sued in Parliamentary Debates, to discos* that which solely belonged to the Executive Depart- Talent. It IV S inconsistent with the dignity of the House to interfere with such a medical controversy. After a reply from Sir. W. GRANT, the motion 'as negatived wiihont a division. Mr. SYNGR Cooraa gave notice, that he would on \Ve•ducsday next move for le4ve to bring in a Bill to limit the numbei -0T passengers conveyed by stage-coaches. IRISH CLERK OF THE PEACE BILL. On the motion that the Irish Clerk &stile Peace Bill be read a second time, Lord CAttifAmPTort earnestly requested that some time might be allowed to elapse before this measure p.issed, as there was a legal question now pending as to whether the right of appointment of the Clerk of the Peace was in the Costos Row. lorum or iu the Crown. lie had himself held upwards of 30 years the oflis7e of Custus Rotu lortna of the County of Dublin, and be was con vinced that this Bill had the tendency of protect ing instead of punishing all those clef Its who were guilty of corrupt i,ractices. He moved that the Bill be read a second time this day fortnight. Mr. COURTENAY, Mr. CROKER, and Mr. CHAS. GRANT, supported the Was highly desir able that a Bill like the present, which assimi lated the laws of IrtlaUd with those of England, wi;11 respect to this office, should meet with no delay : any verbal amendments might be made in the Committee. Mr CALLAGHAN wished that a. inbvitute might he round for the fees of the clerks of the peace. Th e y ware so extravagantly high, dirt some of tlivse Thcers received larger salaries than even the Judges thems,lves. Lord CARHANIPTON confirmed this seatement, and mentioned, that to his certain knowledge the sakry of one of these Clerks in one cou►►ty amounted to no less than 5,3001. annually. After some Nutter conversation between Sir 3. Newport, Mr. V. Blake, and Mr. Martin, the Bill was read a becond time, and ordered co be committed for Monday. MR.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Sunday last. In the Chamber of Peers, on Sa turday, the Marquess de Paticie took the oaths and his seat. The Projet respecting the Journals was presented by the Keeper of the Seals, and ordered to be referred to the Bureaux. The Pule de BitOGLIg reported from the Committee on the first Projer, regarting the Press, in favour of it. The Report was oedered to be printed, tine discussion to be opened to-morrow. The prvjet for the abolition of the Droit d'Aubaine was referred to a Special Committee of five. p ro jet relative to the Press, was also r •rerred to a Special Committee of five, consisting .

" MADRID, APRIL 27.—The marriage of the Kiug is, it is said, determined upon, and is about to be made public, but the object of his Majesty's choice is not yet known ; it is supposed our in tended Queen is a Princess of Saxony." New York Papers to the 10th were received this morning from Aux Cayes. " Captain SassoN, of the schooner Fairplay, ar rived this morning in 15 days from Aux Cayes, informs us that General GOMAR, one of CEms- Tortfe's Commanders, with a considerable force, bad passed into - the mountains Within the impe. rial dominions of General Bovsa, about 5000 troops, and gone in pursuit of the hostile army, and had afready cut oil their retreat ; a few of them had been taken, and a battle was daily ex pected. General lioymt had issued an order,.de elating that any of his subjects joining them should'be punished with death," New Orleans Papas iave been received of three days later date than the last arrival. [Prem. the Paper of the 24th March.]—" It being understood that Russia has re'rinquished to the United States all her right to the countries on the Pacific Ocean, South of the 56th degree of North Latitude, and that' Great Britain relingnialies a ll hers to the same countries, after the ten years sti pulated in the late Treaty, with respect to a cer-, lain portion of them, the United States will now possess a territory embracing 15 degrees of lati tude on the Pacific Ocean.", The Case of AMBRISTER and ARBUTHNOT bat naturally excited the attention of every friend to justice end humanity, and the conduct of the American General respecting those unfortunate Gentlemen was in the highest degree atrocious. We, therefore, cannot but esteem the Marquess of LANiDOWN for manifesting en anxiety to have the matter folly investigated, that it Might appear satisfactory to the People of this Country that our Government had not committed the national honour by negligence or indifference on the occa sion. Attached as w ( e ore to the principles of Ministers, as well as persuaded, that they, in all their measures, have the interest of the Country at heart, we should have joined in censuring - their conduct if they had ever shewn any indifference to its character in the eyes of other States. We think, however, deeply feeling for the fate of our unfor tunate Countrymen, that it did not involve alues don which called upon us for a demand of repara tion or atonement on the part of the Americal. Go. vernment. It is clear that the victims of the de testabteJAcxsoN's cruelty bad actually entered into the service of a people at war wiat the Uniad States, one in a military and the other in,a mercan tile capacity, the latter supplying those enemies of the United States with the Munitions of war. "171' had no authority from the British Govern tent to engage in such a service, and we were at peace with the United States. Had sncli authority been given by the British Govern ment, the Government of , the United States might have treated it as a violation of pacific re lations, and, unless some satisfaction had been given on our part, as a fair plea for hostilities against this Country and its Dependencies. This is the true point in which the subject ought to be viewed. As our unfortunate Countrymen had . withdrawn from the protection of this Country by leaguing with the enemies of a State with which we were at peace, and were taken with in the territories of Spain, the question is solely between that Country and the American Government, in which Great Britain had really no right to interfere. A respectable Morning Paper (The Herald) has quoted a passage from VaTTen, implying that the subjects of one State " may, and ought sometimes to enter the military service of a Foreign Power, in order thereby to learn the , art of war, for the purpoie of being better able to defend their own Country in case of hostile aggression." But it never could be the intention of VATTEL;OTATIy other Writer on the Law of Nations, to assert that the subjects of one State might enter into the service of ano ther in hostility with a Power in amity with their own Government. Nothing will justify - the merciless barbarity of the American General, in disregarding the sentence of a Court-Mar tial, and inflicting the punishment of death in cold blood, and, accordingly, we find that the people of America, with a few disgrace ful exceptions, view his conduct with horror, and his name certainly ought to be branded with infamy for ever. it was very properly observ ed by the Earl of Livsaroon last night, that if such an event had ()mumi in this Country, or any British General bad acted in so unjust and inhuman a manner, wHatever his rank, his abili ties, or his services, they would not have shielded him from punishment and universal indignation ; and we conceive that, for its own honour, the American Government should mark its sense of such atrocity by some signal expression of na tional abhorrence, if not of judicial still' NEWS. PoRTSMOUTH, MAY 11.—Arrived his Majesty's ship Camelion from a cruise. Cowes, MAY 11.—Arrived the, Triton trans port -from London, with stores, and to take in troops for Quebec.

It has been justly observed that there has been no instance recorded in dramatic annals of such a number of novelties having been produced in 'one season, as -have been brought forward at Drury-lane Theatre during, the present. This fact, whatever may have been the merit or success of the respective pieces, chews, at least, the spirit and vigour of the management, and a desire to gratify the Public. Another new Farce was represented last night at that Theatre, under the title of The Jew of Imbeek. The story is interesting. Count Voldemar (RAY), an Austrian Nobleman, has a worthless son Albert (H. Kemßee), who has been induced by a wicked confederate even to denounce his father, as a Traitor to the Government, by which he is ba nished, and quits Vienna in suers haste that he cannot acquaint his daughter Rosa (Mrs, I'Vear) of the place of his retreat. fie assumes the cha racter of a Jew in the vicinity of Lubeck, and, keeping open house, is supposed to be rich. Albert, with two accomplices ; determines to murder the hos pitahleJew, not knowing that be is his own father. Rosa overhears the ,plan in a forest, and equally ignorant that the supposed Jew is her father, de termines to save his life, and arrives just in time to stop the arm of her cruel brother, s‘vhose etro cities had attracted the notice of Government, and who fled from justice, but is retaken, and about to suffer military punishment, but obtains a pardon through the means of his sister, and ma nifesting contrition, the whole ends with a pro spect of future happiness. There is certainly no siriking novelty, but much of interest in the table, which was altogether very well acted, and, with a few marks of displeasure at some parts, easily removed, was very well received. The scenery was in a great measure new, picturesque and appropriate. SPAREING.—Crawicy had a hehefi! at the Minor Theatte in Catherine-street, yesterday.
