It war tlierefote to be hoped, that he , coold not quit tb subject he had carried it to that extent which the House had a right to exnert. Lord Comr - ror4 said a few words to the same Mr. BENNET thonght the Noose was bound to piini,litnent on Boroughs which had sheven such corruption. Mr. \W. SMITH sail, he hail long been attached to the cause of l'athatnentary Reform, but was of opinion that unless there was so ,, , e liefornt rutting tho Electors, as well as the elected, no thing could be done. lie tlierefi.re hop , 'd this (,I,lx would be visited rv4 it tipsy: vtql. fir iitAKE thought. that thouv.h ti.is riLtlit had bee- illb••Sed he the !;lector:; the Borou4b ought not theretore to he di:tvirichised. Mr. W. Vt 7 , 1 1.4 %, obk:erverl, that the practice of Parliatottit was wit to 11S f the Borough,. 1) ,, t to increase the tionthcr of voters holm the ad jacent Hundreds. In the resew case the cor l-nption wfv made 0111 so cle4rlv, that the Noble Lind would probably see the propriety of intro. with a view to pr:vent the rt . pelitii , n nt such scenes. He wets sore that evt.tv Meniher n mild gladly lend his assistance tn‘vartis forwaiding su(di a toe4sure. After a few words from Mr. Alderman Hevcves sod Mr. Goanotz, the Resolutions were agreed to. L- rd CIiVF said, he did not wish to press him self forward on a task of this nature ; yet as it teemed to he the desire of the House that he should Proceed, he was willing to obey. He trusted, however, that in - consideration of the importance. of the r : tse, they would allow him a more en larged. Committee that, was usual upon such oc casions His Lordship concluded with moving fur iesve to bring in a Bill to prevent Bribery and \Cotruption at the Election of Members to serve iu Parliament for the Borough ut Barnstaple. • Leaee was given, and a Committee appointed to prepare the same. Lord Ut..tvE then moved, that the Speaker be directed not to issue his IVarrant for the Election of a Member to serve in Parliament for the said 13oroueh until that day mohth.—Ordered. Mr. W. \ViNN said, that one thing still re mAihed to be done ; they should inflict on the in disidtual who was pi oved godly of btibery the pu nishment schich they hod the power to inflict, or take measures that the punishment ioflicted by ti , e laws should he enfoteed If they had omitted to ii charge this duty in former instances, that was Yin reason why shay should do so irl the present, for every instance of neglect strengthened the mass of evil precedent. He should therefore move, that the Attorney-General be directed to prosecute Sir Masseh Manasseh Lopez for the said offence. The motion was agreed to. The Scorch Poor Likes Bill was read a second time, and committed for 22;! of April. The Report of the Committee on the Sinking Fund Acts Bill was agreed to, and the Bill or dered to be,bronght in accordingly. SHIPS CONDEMNED. Dr. }'HILL storts moved lot a List of the Ships and Cargocs seized and condemned,.a.d of which restitution had been ordered by the Treasury. Mr. LUSHINGTON objected to the taotion, as too general, but said be should have no objec tion, if half a dozen cases were selected, to con cur in such a proposition. Aftcr some discussion, in which Mr. \V. Wynn, Mr. Forbes, Mr.' Home, Mr. Finlay, Mr. Gordon, Sir C. Robinson, Mr. D. Gilbert, and Dr. I'hilli more took parts, the motion was limited to the year 1811:3 . , in which shape it was agreed question to a Committee, or not to attenil the Raise on the discussion of it. This rnmour has naturally excited consider able alarm, and we believe has induced the Protestants of different denominations to determine to petition the Legis'a ture on the subject. As our sentiments are well known to ,he adverse to the admission of the Roman Catholics tb the possession of Political Power and into the Higher Offices of the State and Judicial Situations, it is not necessary for us to say any thing more at present, that we reserve ourselves fr,r the father consideration of the question until the recess, when the adjournment of Parliament will afford us more time and space for an appeal to the Pinlic on this awful and vital occasion. NEW POST-OFFICE. Mr. GORDON asked, why the Papers relative to the erection of a new Post Office, which were ordered to be kid before the iloiHe f.ix weeks ago, were not yet preserved ? The whole transaction had the appearance of a mutual job betwee❑ the City of Loudon and the Treasury. Mr. LUSHINGTON Said, that the object was the accommodation of tl►e public, and the Papers hav ing been ►'eferretl by the TT easury to the Surveyor of the 130ari of IVork=, were on that account ►te. layer!. They would, however, be presented itn niedilte!v, _ _ _ 'Mr GORDON moved, that the return should he madv forth‘vith, which, atter long discussion, was aKreed to. The other Orikrs of the Day were then dis posed of. awl the Muse adjourned at halt-past Twelve o'Clock. LONDON JOURNALS. FROM TEIF/MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronicle.] Accounts from Coracoa, of the 6th February, mention that Commodore Joli had Lett Margaritr, on a cruise 'with a small squadron of eight Independent vessels, as it was sup posed, to protect the arrival of transports expected from Eu rope. Foreign volunteers, to the number of 1,000 men, in aid of General - Bolivaes army, are stated to have tsached Guiria, in the Gulf of Paria, and a second division : of 1,501) strung, nos daily- looked for. Admiral Brion was at l'ampatar (Margarita), and the new fortifications of the island were carrying on with . great activity. Two additional forts had been constructed, and all tine important points pot in a - copiplete state of defence. Colonel Gilmore was there disci plining a native corps of artillery; a brigade of field pieces, with every requisite, bad attired. A notification from I•lt , srs. .1. Whitney and John Johnson to General Arismendi, e, • • announced the arrival of the Perseverance with 2( 0 men.— Several respectable emigrants from the Main had left Cu racoa to return to Angostura and Margarita. [Morning Post ] We trust there is not any truth in a report which has been widely ciiciQr.ti-s!, that some persons of distinction have been priv ittly inhaencing Nlembers of Parliament to vote in fa ram: of the Catholic Question, and that wherever the) did ot succeed, they urged the others to vote for raferring the THE j - • SOLEM WAS DICERE FALSVNI AUDEAT ?

The Ambassador, having reached the foot of the throne, addressed a compliment to his Majesty in the Persian language, which was immediately translated by the Government Interpreter. The Ambassador then delivered to the King a letter, and presents from . his Sovereign. The King re plied to the Ambassador, and the answer of his Majesty was likewise translated by the Govern tnent Interpreter. The Ambassador afterwards dined at the Thuilleries with the Duke d'Escars, the King's first Maitre d'Hotel, in the apartments of the Duke .d'Angoulerne. There were.. forty five covers. " M. de Latour Maubourg, the Ambassador to London, sets out for thence in a few days. " The Persi4n Ambassador has sent magnifi cent cachetnires to the Duchess d'A'ngouleme and the Duchess de Berry.

" NismEs, Alnacti 24.-- , The most perfect tran quillity now prevails in this department." The subject of the arrest of General Gotta- GAUD, and his removal from this Country, was lirought forward last night in the House ot Com mons by Mr. LANIBTON. It is very -"surprizing, that the Opposition Members should feel such an interest in the concerns of mi , chievous Foreigners, and display such persevering hostility against tire A.LII?N ACT. Fur our part, we heartily; concur wi:h the Speech of Mr. SINCLAIR, in the House of Commons last night, in a full conviction that it is necessary for the protection of the Country, and in his opinion, that Englishmen would never act harshly against persons whom they were ordered to take into custody, unless fully jusiified by violent resistance. Such was the case with this worth less foreigner, as wAs most satisfactorily stated by Mr. CLIVE last night, in a just defence of the Officers who had been employed on the occasion. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN too gave such an account of the political versatility of this Foreign Mis creant as renders him at once an object of con tempt and abhorrence. The Petition to the House of Lords from the University of Oxford, against the Claims of pery, was yesterday presented by Lord GRENViLLF. It is consolatory, amidst the dangers in which we should be involved, if we were to commit such an act of political and patriotic suicide as to suffer Papists to have a share in our Legislative Coun cils, to find ,that the two Universities are fully impressed with a sense of their duty on this awful occasion ; but our chief dependence is on the Illustrious Head of the State, who, we have rea son to believe, considers the CORONATION OATH as the bisis of his Political Supreo2acy. and Here ditary Rights, and who has resolved to gulrd it the most sanctimonious fidelity. It is cu rious to find The British Press, an Opposition Paper indeed, hut not of the outrageous kind, terming the restrictions which are essential to the preservat;on of our political and religious freedom " those degrading distinctions, which, under the pretence of religious zeal, seeks only for the con tinuance of an unwise political Monopoly "_ We may retort the language of The British Press, with a little alteration, and say of the Papists that " under the pretence of political freedom they seek only for the resumption of an unwise reli gious Monopoly," and the total destruction of the Protestant Church. [,llorning Herald] MARRIAGE IN HIGH e can state, upon the most respectable authority, that the marriage (so long repsassed by " the Laws' delay" . ) between Lord Stewart and Lady Frances Vane Tempest, will tzlite place this day, by special license (we believe), at the house of Lord Viscount Castle reagh, in St.,lames's square. An extensive party, en famille, have been invited by the Noble Viscount, in celebration of the nuptials, and immediately after dinner the happy pair will set off for his Lordship's seat at North Cray, to spend the honey-moon ; Lord and Lady Castlereagh joi►►in g g them at the corou►encement of the ensuing recess.

On Tuesday, came on at Boroughbridge, the Election of a Ilepresentatiee for that Borongli, in the room of l'ilAamAnuktt LAwsoN, Esq. who had purposely Vacated his seat by accepting the tern Hundreds, ‘rhen all extraordinary ;and on expected event took place; ,viz. the re-elec t ion of that Gentleman. It will be in the recollection of our Readers that in June last, Mr. Lawson was no less unexpectedly returned a Member for Bo' rough bridge, on which occasion he published his speech and an explanation of circumstances, from which we make the following extracts : Boronghbri,lge is a small market-town in the parish of Aldbrongh, a village which also sends two Members to Par liament. The whole four have been for some years nomi nated by the Dulie of Newcastle, who possesses a majority of the noroughbridge houses. Owing to the quiet way in which elections had been conducted there for some lime, much ill the same way as vestry meetings, a Member had not thought it necessary to shew his face for several elections. On the 20th Jtme, 1818, Mr. Lawson appeared at the election : he got up, and, standing on a round table, addressed theelecturs in a speech." The Honourable Gervienrin gave the following pledge as to his Parliamentary conduct 1 do flatter myself that I could on all occasions bring somewhat of political merrimeot, bearing even in an ail" - ruentltive matwer on the question in debate, and that I coul d contribute my mite to the conviviality of.the House." This pledge it is well kr.0..1n that Mr LAws °l4 has kept and that the most amusing spee ch i e , s since the meeting o f Parlisment were mode hint. flis recent determination to relinquish Iti " seat in favour of the Duke's iwerest, disaPr iri" ed the lovers of mirth and fun ; but It has WI : thwarted by' the determinatiou of the burges ge- . to have no other representative than Mr. Laos °. Many of them are said to be under notice, but (1)0 . h,:veheen deteri»itied to produce a little more " I' liticid merriment" before they q u it t heir burg" Louses.
