Want of room com- pd us to be eery brief in our notice of their con tents. In the Chamber of Deputies the discussion on the articles of the projet respecting the Customs was continued through Thursday and Friday anti again adjourned till Saturday.— The ILron MoLtGAN de BBLLOY reported from the Committee in favour of the proposed duty on Foreign \Vool imported, according to its fineness ; and also recommending a bounty on the exporta tiou of French Wool. These propositions were agreed to. The report on the Election Projet was, after an ineffectual attempt on the part of General Foy to have it postponed till after the discussion on the Budget, ordered to be received ea Saturday. These Journals contradict the statement of the arrival of the Queen of ENGLAND at Paris, and say, that it was doubtful whether her MAJESTY would come thither at all. Prince PHILIP of Ilesss 1.-lortnuaG had a pri vate audience of the KING on Friday. The Duke d'ANGout.Emz arrived at Lyons on Thursday las "Ls arrival was announced at Paris by a tele graphic dispatch received on Friday morning On 'Thur s day the KING gave a private audience to Chevalier PEREZ DE CASTBG, the new Spanish 111inister for Foreign Affairs, who was on his way from Hamburgh to Madrid. The Garde du Corps, who was wounded by assassins, is expected to recover. Every exertion was making to discover the assassins, who left behind them a pistol, on which teas inscribed— " Thus let the last Royalist perish P' The accounts from Madrid, of the 24th ult. con. tain a Royal Decree, dated the preceding day, ratiiing permission to the refugees in France, svho were employed under the Government, of Joseph, to return to Spain. The Kiug has de vlared himself the first soldier of the station, and has appointed Generals BALLasTettos, QUIROGA, ItIEGO, and others, to be his Adjutants General, A report had got into circulation at Paris, that Don CARLOS, the King of SPAIN's youngest bro. ther, had suddenly fled from Madrid, but this rumour was not believed. An Inspruck article of the 25th ult. says, the QUREN of ENGLASID had proceeded with great .rapiCtity tlaratien Lutnibrirtly and riedinont on her way to France. rivE PER CENTS. Thursday . 73 f. 50 c.

Tria Qugasr.—The Dover Letters of this day state a report that her MAJESTY has actually reached Calais. it the Public were to credit all the reports of her movements, they would think that her motto should be " hic et übique." Accounts front Jamaica, to the 25th March, state that BRION had sailed ►vith his Squadron to protect a landing of the Expedition on the Main. The subject chiefly interesting in the House of Commons last 'night related to the Petition from n large Body of London Merchants, which tv•te itoroduced by Mr. BARING, recommendi►►g a recurrence to former principles in our commercial intercourse with other countries. The Honourable Gentleman filleted largely into the subject, and viewed it in a variety of lights, with reference to the 'Manufacturing, Agricultural, and other In- terests of importance to the State, au to an rid cable as well as beneficial intercourse with other countries. As the question will no doubt undergo a full Parliamentary discussion, in order to pro duce a result founded upon true principles of na tional policy, it would ill become us to hazard our crude opinions on a subject of such magnitude and intricacy, in its present state, and therefore we shall wait till it has been thoroughly investigated by the collective wisdom of the Legislature. But as a Public Journal can and ought to be the me dium of useful knowledge, sound reasoning, and conclusive illustration, Toil SUN shall be open to the observations of those intelligent Correspon• dents who, not having an opportunity of deliver lug their opinions in Parliament, !nay be anxious to convey them through the channels of a Paper which has always had principally, indeed, essen tially, in view the happiness of the People and, the prosperity of the State. The discussion of the Roman Catholic Question having been postponed for a few days longer, will give an opportunity to the Protestant Community of expressing their sentiments in r►ther a more beneficial way than they conld otherwise have done. The time, however, is by far too short for any decided expression of the public voice; but we hope and trust, that should the motion for the Committee be carried, the People will instantly press forward, and fill the tables of Parliament with their Petitions. Indeed, after the public challenge which was given by Mr. RATTAN last year for petitions against the Claims, it is almost justifiabie in the Representa tives of the People to conclude, that the latter are favourable to the measure of concession, except they firmly, but consti tutionally and legally, declare their sentiments. The ex pressien of popular opinion (when kept within proper bounds) is always attended with beneficial ef f ects; a nd al though no Representative is bound to yield up his private conscientious convictions under nay circumstances, or would be justified in so doing, yet it is well known that, according to the wild and varied texture of the English Constitution, a certain degree of irresistible influence attends any deci sive declaration of the People's sentiments.—Null Re ligious Toleration the Itonian Catholics already possess; they are only excluded from those offices and situations which w,•uld give them a direct influence over our Protestant Esta blishment and Constitution. The most determined Advo cates for their Claims admit, that there must always he souse Gyfices front which tlicy nurse be excluded ; and therefore the idea of conciliating the minds of the. Roman Catholics, by geanting a Psßt of their Demands, is perfectly futile. So long as they are excluded from a single °thee, so long will they be discontented. We have been accused by some of wishing to raise a " No Popery" cabal ; but we repel the in sinuation. None would be more zealous than ourselves in the cause of Protestantism and Liberty, (for they must stand or fall together), but none would more der ecate a repeti tion of the scenes of 1780. We would tell our Legislators in the words of our good old Barons, " Nulumns leges Anglice mutari," but we would tell them this as the result of due consideration and conviction, not of idle and inteMperate clamour. SPECIAL COMMISSION.—Late on Saturday it was resolved, that the Special Commission which was adjourned until yesterday Morning, to meet at Hicks's Hail, should be dissolved by the non attendance of the Commissioners —lf, therefore, any other persons should be apprehended, who were involved in the late nefarious transactions, they will, in all probability, be left to the ordi nary course of justice, under the Commission of Oyer and Terutiner. The health of her Royal Highness the Duchess of YORK continues to improve. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat for two hours in deliberation. Yesterday the Duke of GLOUCESTER visited the KING for some time at his Palace in Pall-mall. Yesterday morning Prince LEOPOLD attended the Anniversary of the Port of London Society, for promoting Religion among Seamen, at the City of London 'tavern. In the afternoon his Royal Highness left town for Claremont. A person digg'ing in Bridgeton, Scotland, on Monday, found a number of pike heads of different kinds, concealed in the earth, and carefully rolled up in a number of copies of the Black Dwarf. The .rlyr Courier of Thursday last states, that " an Armed Association has at lest been formed in the town of Kilmar nock, consisting of three companies." Kilmarnock, it is well known, has all along contained numbers of disaffected per sons; and when the Radical Proclamation gave the signal for a general rising, they commenced drilling on the highways.— Yet it is only now that a corps for local prote ction has .been completed there. DUTCH MAIL. DIVORCE OF THE oII.AND DUKE CONSTANTINE. A Mail front Holland arrived at a late hour last night. It contains a Manifesto by the Emperor of Russia, proclaiming the Divorce of his brother, the Archduke Constantine. This important Do cument is as tollows " 13y the Grace of God, we,, At.exANDErt the First, Empe ror and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. hereby signify to our faithful subjects : " Our much-beloved brother, Czarwitsch and Grand Duke Constantine, has, by a request addressed to our beloved Mo ther, the Empress Maria, and to us, drawn our attention to his family affairs. with respect to the long absence of his con ' sort the Grand Duchess Anne (born Princess of Saxe-Co• Bourg Saalfeld), who making a journey into foreign coun tries so far back as the year MI, on account of her extreme bad health, has nut only not yet returned to hint, but, according to her own personal declat'ation, can not again return to Russia; and therefore he wishes that his marriage with her may be dissolved. In consequence of this request, with the approbation of our beloved Mo ther, we have referred this a:Tair to the consideration of the holy S) nod, which, on comparing the circum stances of the case with the laws of the Church, mid on the principles of the 35th article of Basil the Great has decided ' the marriage. of.the Czarwitsch and Grand Unite Conslati tine with the Grand Duchess Anne is, to be dissolved ; and he is to be allowed, if he Unities proper, to contract a new marriage.' From all these cirettm.,tances, we have. seen that every effort to maintain unimpaired the Matrimonial Union in our Imperial Family, after it has been already broken off nearly nineteen years without any hopes of being restored, would be of no avail. We have given our approbation, ac cording to the principles of the Laws of the Church, to the actual execution of the above-mentioned decision of the Holy Synod, and command it to be everywhere recognized in its full extent," &c. &c. &c. The Manifesto concludes with the followiug Supplementary Ordinance :- 46 When any Member of the Imperial Family shall form a matrimonial union with an individual wbo is nut of a corre sponding rank, that is to say, who does not belong to a So vereign or reigning House, then and in that case the Member of the Imperial Family camiut communicate to :he other in dividual the lights which appertain to the Nlembers of the Imperial Family, and the Children from such a Marriage have no right to the Succession to the Throne, &c.Scc &c.

A i.l i 1 from Flanders bas also arrived. The Brussels Papers announce, most strangely, the arrival of the Duchess of KRNT in that city.

In reference to the much discussed Riot et Ca rain, in Ross-shire, we are authorised to state, that the Proprietor did not, as has been said, give any promise to the deluded people of tilt it being " allowed to remain as long as they paid their rent," nor pledge himself in any manlier which could be construed into such a promise ; on the contrary, that he had declared his intention of converting the property into a large farm ; and, under this circumstance, did what certainly has not been done by Many other proprietors, viz. offered to be at the expeoce of conveying 3 , 1C11 small tenantry as had been any considerable length of time on the property to the Cape of Good Hopc. To some, who could not avail themselves of this , offer, he proposed givingrstuall flours elsewhete, and settling others near his own residence, Tor the purpose of giving them daily labour. We under stand also, that in reference to the King's inten tion of improving Dartmoor Forest, he had maw! 1 c ommunications and a personal interview with Sir Thoutas Tyrwbitt, who expressed himself anxious to have Highlanders, and offered very fa vourable (elms ; and that Mr. Mooro, appre hensive that the proposal for removal would not be so favourably received from himself or his factor, employed a highly respectable and popular clergyman to coinn►unicate with :be people on the subject, so that it appears the indifference to the future provision and welfare of the people, which has been ascribed to this gentleman, is far from well founded. We are happy in being able to do justice to a character which, as far as it has been yet unfolded, g►ves promise that on this and every other occasion; lie will act with feeliog and liber ality.— (Inverness Journal:l) Advices have been received, stating, that the Guildford transport, of 1200 tons burden, Cap tain JouNsoN. having on board 200 convicts, fur New south Wales, and the five Conspirators, had sailed for the Cove of Cork, to take in plovisions for her intended voyage.

VENDING SEDITIOUS AND BLASPHEMOUS PUB. LICATIONS. This morning the following persons appeared in Court, which was exceedingly crowded : John Ca'mac, Win. Watling Thomas Wnitehorn, Robert Christopher Harris, G. Sainsbury, and Phillip Francis. The above persons had been convicted, at the Sittings after last Term, of having .sold various numbers of a Periodical Pamphlet, containing false, scandalous, and malicious Libels, of and concerning bis present MAJtiSTY (then Regent), and also of his Majesty's Government, respect ing certain transactions at Manchester on the 16th of August last. Francis was convicted of a libel on the Holy Scripture ; all the libels were con,, tamped in Nos. 11. and 111. of Tire Republican, printed and published by Carlile. The CHIEF. JUtiTICE read the notes of the seve.. ral trials, and some of the pa►ties l►ad put in affidavits, declaring their innocence of the cot►. tents of the work. :one of the defendants .►ad Counsel except Cabnac, for wiont Mr. liour appeared and ad dressed the Cow( at considerable length, with great ability and iogrouit y, 'fire SOLiCITOR-GaNBRAL addressed tire Court in aggravation of punishment ; he said, lie woull not piess the case beyond what it requ►red, but persons in the situation of the defendants must be: taught to know that no work tvonld be allotted to be published that had a tendency,. to sal► the Loyalty, or destroy the Established Religion of this Country ; public security, the security of the Laws, the Religion, and the Government, dc- ntsudetl the prosecution of these" Works And the CouJIT would thick his Lf!eirned Frieocl thhe ATTORNL;Y-GEINERAL WOuld not have doite his duty if he (hid not brought these de.tendotos before the Court.

With th:se observations he should leave the defendants lin the hands of the Court.

The Court had taken all their cases into consitieration, and as it was an early period of the reign wherein the Court had to dclverjudgment iii such cases, it was not disposed to be harsli persons must nut, however, suppose that it would be so lir„htly treated in future. The sentence of the Court was, that Robert Shorter be imprisoned six weeks ; WO* liam Wallin, one month; Thomas Whitehoros• one month ; Christopher Harris, seven weeks p.
