There were scarcely seventy members ,present, and. it was observed that there was no Minister in attendance. The report was a feeble endeavour to justify the necessity of the proposed measure. Sacrilege,according to the arguments on this occasion, is the greatest crime that can be committed,and therefore the severest punishment sho"ld be enacted against it. This reasoning, if pushed 'to its legitimate consequences, would unavoidably introduce the Inquisition, but it passes current just now in France uncles Charles X. The law respecting piracy was adopted by a Majority of 232 votes against 9. On Wedn2sday the discussion of the law respecting nunneries was .commenced.--All the abuses-of the ante-revolu tionary system are fast reviving. • The corps of the superior-of a nunnery near Toulouse, who died about four mouths ago, has been exhumated,. on pretence that she died in the odour of sane 'Ally: On raising the body it was found, say. the veracious relators, ekactty in the same state as at the period of her decease.

The contest :seems to have been unusually obstinate and san guinary. By advices from Semlin, in Hungary, it appears that the fidelity of Omer Vrione to the Sultan is as doubtful as ever. Notwithstanding .the orders of the new Seraskier, Reschid Pacha, : he had • not repaired to Salonichi; At Belgrade it was reported that hostilities had broken out 'between these two Ottoman Generals. ITHE TIMES.] The intelligence concerning the revolt of Ma -alit:3,lo4h we communicated yesterday, on the authority. of the Joarnat.des Debats, carries with it MO - 60f interest a s a subject of grave medita tion;:ttitut of atiy real importance to the political or commercial world. Cuba being for a mo ment set:tifide-L-4and the thread which attaches her to theM other Country may snap while we are writ inOir—but setting aside Cuba, the loss of the PhlliPpines gives the - last blow to Spain as a co lonial and a maritime kingdom. All the West anctittl the-East have now broke loose from her intolerable yoke. :She "stands naked and des titute before mankind, to be scoffed at, or scourged by any passing spectator, with. im punity. But in whatever light the downfall of. this barbarous despotism is likely to'be viewed by otber,minds, to ours it conveys, we must admit,' a : pper s erful " moral lesson."—The ruin of this kasesminded monarchy is at once a vindication of Divine justice, and a warning to all the ty rants • t of•theeerth. Fronethe reign of the first Ferdi , n'anstio that of the last, the Spanish histery has beeti'little more than a succession of deSperate struggles against the laws of ..,Cod, and the in tereils of humanity. Tile abominations praCtised by those -Fiends in manly form, who invaded, laid. waste, and trampled. on the uneffending oc cuniersofsMexico and Peru, were employed hut rcefurnish means for extending or perpetuating the e derninion of slave'fy in. Europe. Happily, from . that very hour when, the crime was Censer-li mated, the punishment may he said to have corn ented.' The invasion .of . Eeehind, in the 16th century, was undertaken on the joint account of bigotry, despotism, and vengeance. Its failure trai the first signal for the re-action of man kind upon their Spanish oppressors. It was the first triumph of liberty over the fana tical and_ despotic spirit of the Spanish Go verment, Next came the long iesurrec tion of the United Provinces against the yoke of Philip. Here, again, we see Spain, the persecutor and tyrant, engaged in another atrocious war —again the. victim of, her own wickedness e --eird a,second.trinmph obtained over her, on behalf of the freedom and welfare of those against whom she fought. A fresh: principle of restless_ ambi tion and malie s nity was-infused into the'worn-out Government of Spain, -by the. successful usurpa tion of the House of Bourbon, at the beginning of the 18th century ; and with the progress of domestic despotism, that of national decay was hastened. Except only during some portion of the reign of Charles 111., political and super stitious tyranny has` been ever since consoli dating its own power over the Spanish people, and undermining that of the State . itself; as one of the great community of.kingdoms. Ame rica has at length avenged her wrongs. Manilla, threatened. With a servile Governor, hae adjured the .authority. - which would have imposed him. Spain lie; prostrate, naked as she w.as.lsorn ; and, in a decrepitude more helpless than that of. ip fancy, offers, as we begin with stating, ".a greet moral lesson" to the legitimetes and tyrants of the .universe. This is the more useful, because it is so pointed and so clear. The lesson is as clear as that which Turkey now exhibits. They are kindred culprits, and they. are stretched upon the same rack. This revolution is coruforta blee— it.is invaluable to all political societies. Greece' and America—North as well as e Snuth, and Eng liehas :Well as Spanish—have been both oppressed -=-both .drisen by their wrongs -to resist their tyrants; artd,.,by the will of. _Providence aid ing, (as' in the lone run it ever does) the cause ofejisstice, they have proved,. that to be unjust ie.Ao be ire.politic; and that, whether he be infidel or professed Christian,- the meed .of- the wrongdoer is mortification and defeat. eon less that in our estimate of things, it seetus„es if rnest's .

[MORNING POST.] French Papers to the - 7th instant, with the .P,toirg of Thursday, reached us last night by Ex press. They are dnusually barren of import tant intelligence. In the sitting of the Cham ber of Deputies on Tuesday, M. Chiffiet :presented the Report of the Commission rin the Law against -Sacrilege. That Report is the most favourable - that. has been made this Hgessions, o;_it recommendS that the law.be adopted 'as it stands without any amendment. It was ordered to be printed, and the discussion post poned to a. future day. The law for putting. down piracy was - then taken into consideration, and, what - has "seldorn. happened since France has had Chambers, it -was debated and adopt ed at one sitting, by an overwhelming ma jority of 232 to 9._ An article from Sem lin states that Omer Vrione continued to re fuse obedience to the mandate of the Porte, which directe*d him .to repair to Sulonichi ; and that -it - was believed that hostilities had broken out be tween that Chief and Reschid Pacha. [MORNING' cHR9NIct.g.I Mr. Cohbett i something like Lismahago, in Hamphrey Clinker,—he•will neither take a good word nor a bad word from you without.growling. We hailed him one day as a future Saint, con ceiving that some-successor of St. Peter could not do less than honour the bones of one who had so successfully identified the Church of Rome, with the rock on which Christ promised to build his Church. W e have since paid atribute to the purity of that mind, which could not. even suspect that money would in the least influence Catholic Priests. In return for this homage, we receive , compliments, to which we dare not even allude. In the Register of this day, he is very angry with Mr. Wilmot Horton and other promoters of a plan for conveying, poor Irishmen to . Canada. — That the scheme is mere paltering with the die eased state of Ireland, is obvious enough. The removals will cost this country a large sum, and yet they will not even affect the ratio of increase of the population in Ireland, and, the places cleared will be soon covered again; Emigration, to he in the least useful, should he COnducted on a large scale, and measures to secure the cleared districts from being again oc .ciipied by.coltars should go - hand in hand with it. - But the, nation will not consent to the e:ipence, l and humanity would revolt at - the adoption of ,rneans necessary to give effect to the other. part .of the plan. By the bye, Mr. Cobbett's antipa thy to Scotchmen and Jews seems to embroil liim very •rnuch- with the English language. — Stock is' tainted, because the Jews deal in it,; and Capital, because Sthith used it for Stock, as other writers have done both he-. fOre and since his time. Says Mr. Cobbett, " The Capital will go to Ireland, Talk English : leave off the Scotch philosophical balderdash—call it irioneb : say :that money will then_go to I relani." Mr. Cobbett, we see, does not know what money is. Suppose I carry over to Ireland a cotton machine, a herd of cattle, and farming utensils-- do.I carry over money ? Money is one thing, and 1 stock or capital another. .. . . . , Pi Er" TIM 0.3 THE PUBLIC LEDGER.)

England looks on with composure, but not with indifference ; . and though she decliries taking any part, her assent must be' obtained, before a single soldier of the High beliberating Parties can be landed in Greece. In the mean time, we are told that =preparations have been making for a considerable period in the lonian Islands, which denote an intention on the_part of our Government to watch carefully the course of events in that neighbourhood. Circumstances will, of course, decide whether these measures shall assume a character of moral resistance, or one of a more decided description ; and the decision will probably depend on the conduct of Russia. Should the latter Power take upon herself to execute the sentence of the Congress, it would be the imperious duty of our Govern ment to interpose ; for, if the Russians were once to get a footing in Greece, there they would stay ; and, in this case, farewell to the Ottoman Power in Europe.--We have pro bably in these deliberations a clue to the panic which prevails in the French market. The French Government appears to have been dragged into them, as foreign to its interests, and repul sive to the feelings of the nation. All parties in France have, from the beginning of the struggle, strongly sympathized with the Greeks,and would heartily join in deprecating any attempt against their independence. But as strong a feeling and equally unanimous prevails in ther favour in Rus sia; and yet it is not sufficient to deter her Government from plotting its extinction. The Prussian Monarch stands in the same relation to wards his subjects upon this question ; but public opinion is of little value in a military despotism; and we fear that the French Government, in spite of its reluctance, will be induced to co-ope rate in this new project. To the independence of the Greeks, it is said, that the objections are not insurmountable, notwithstanding its plague spot of rebellion ; but, in return, they must adopt the monarchical principle, under the surveillance of the Holy Alliance.

PROBERT.--Yesterday Pro Lea was visited by his wife, Mr. Noyes, her brother, and the pri soner's Mother: ThiS was the first interview Mrs. Probert has had with. her unhappy husband, and the meeting between them was truly. affect ing. On entering his apartment, she approach ed him in a flood of tears to embrace him.— Probert coolly desired. her not to fret, and to bear herself up under her afflictions with for titnde. Mr. Noyes was also very much affected. The prisoner's mother, his wife, and brother-in law, remained, by the permission of the Sheriffs, some time longer than usual with the prisoner. He is perfectly composed, and converses with those about him very cheerfully. He, from his observa tions, anticipates a mitigation of the punishment his crime 'has subjected him to, and •frequently says, he shall be heartily thankful to leave the country for ever. It would be the happiest moment, should it arrive ) he had seen for many years.

Her Ladyship had been writing letters' in her : library, and when she had finished, she Walked into the garden for the purpose of gather ing some flowers, leaving the library window open, and a valUable gold repeater lying on her writing - tilde.

The Junior Officers of the three Regiments of Guards are employed in learning the new method of manoeuvring, lately introduced into the army by Sir H. Torrens. A strong detach ment of these distinguished pupils may be seen, under the co►n mand of a Serjeant Major, actively engaged in Hyde Park every morning from eight till ten, where it is quite satisfactory to ob serve their steadiness, attention and activity. A Brevet is. expected to take place on the 23d inst. The Head-Quarters' Division of the 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment of Foot will embark forthwith, from Chatham, for India. ' The Ist (the King's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards will, on being replaced at Newcastle, by — the 3d (the King's Own) Regiment of Light Dragoons, from Coventry,. march to Can terbury. The destination of the let Battalion of the 60th (the Duke of York's Own Rifle Corps) was stated on Thursday; through a typographical error, to be " Windsor," instead of Weedon." GLASGOW UNIVERSITY. GLASGOW, Amu s.—At the election of a Lord Rector for the University of Glasgow in November last, the votes of the Nations were equally divided between Mr. BROUGHAM and Sir WALTER SCOTT. The decision there fore devolved upon the preceding Lord Rector, and in virtue of his office, Sir James Mackintosh yesterday attended a meeting of the Comitia, for the purpose of giving his vote. The assem bly of Students in the Common Hall was as numerous as cn any former occasion, and they received their late Lord Rector with the warmest applause. The. very Reverend Principal MACFARLANE briefly stated the object of the Meeting to be in pursuance of a statute of the University, which provided that in case there was an equality of votes, the former Rector should give the casting vote. Sir JAmEs MAcRINTosu rose amid repeated expressions of generous feeling on the part of the students : Gentlemen,-You have heard from the minutes the cir cumstances which have led to my comming here to-day to perform the duty which is connected with my office. By the indulgence of the Very Reverend Principal, and of the learned and Reverend Professors, I take the liberty of making a few observations before proceeding to give my vote. For my own re-election, I ought in the first place to return you thanks, Gentlemen, heartily and sincerely. And I, feel peculiar plea sure in having become the channel through which a valuable gift has been bestowed upon the University. The memory of James %Watt is greatly 'honoured, and will receive from the gra titude of his country, and of mankind the highest respect, while talent and genius continue to be admired. Through me his son has presented a statue of an illustrious father, to be place ed in some conspicuous place of this University, in which he imbibed a philosophical spirit that has been the means of immortalizing his name. I feel proud, Gentlemen, in be ing the channel through which this statue has been given, and I trust in God that it is destined to awaken in generations yet unborn, the ambition of multiplying_ he means of human en joyment, and of extending the dominion of man over nature. — (Applause.)—l must also congratulate the University on an other singular honour which belongs to it, and of which no other University in Europe can boast. It is now nearly seventy years since, in the University of Glosgow, was delivered a clear and powerful exposition of those great principles of poli tical economy, on which the welfare and happiness of nations depend—principles that have made their way through pre judice and ignorance into the Councils of Government, and which suggest the means of perpetuating the prosperity' 'of our country.--(Applause.)—Some of the 'youths • before me will feel their minds roused by the names of Watt and Smith, and will, I trust, cherish and support the honour and the fame which belongs to the University of which they are mem ber. I wish not to enter into the indelicate and invidious task, Gentlemen, of, drawing any comparison between the two most eminent persons who have divided your suffrages. lam not sufficiently qualified to make such a comparison; but, in truth, the comparison, to be reasonable, must be founded on a re semblance which does not exist in the present case. But al though I had the other qualifications requisite, I am free to Confess that I possess not impartiality. However the elec tion had turned out, the object would have reflected honour on your choice; the difficulty lay in the richness of the objects. " I should have proceeded in silence to discharge my duty if I did not think - that I might make one.: or two observations on the subject not wholly without use to the younger part of ' my hearers.—(Aiiplauseo—The example of an extraordinary man in the direction of his powers is lost to the majority of man kind ; but the course.of his studies, the maxims which regulate and guide him, and the habits which distinguish his pursuits, may be of great-use to all who apply themselves to literature or science. Happy were it to know, and to pursue the course of study and the habits of the Gentleman to whom I am about to give a casting vote. His course of study affords no countenance to any of . those views which are apt to slacken the ardour of , youths no countenance to the maxims that any superiority of genius can compensate for arduous labour. No man - knows better how to employ his labour to advantage, or is more constaot in. its emloi ment. His mind is powerful and robust; it can labour long, arid apply intensely, and yet it is - ever' ready, to labour. • I•so maxim is more-false, none-more inconsistent with our expe rience, or tends more to peeduce . coxcombs and pigmies in in- ' tellect, than that which affirms that intense study is not neces sary for the improvement of _natural' talent. -lie would say to you, in the language of one of the most distinguished charac ters in the ancient world " Fatebor me in adoleseentia diffisain meo ingenio queessise adjumenta doetrinte7'-=-(Cicerd Pro L.

His naturally strong understanding Was first exercised on the severer scierices,• in which - be. greatly distinguished himself; and he may assure you of their value, not only to those who study them with a professional view, but as a system of mental gymnastics. No. man ever felt IVIr. Brougham's hostility, who did not acknowledge the skill and strength of his understanding. His example is well fitted to guard us against another prevalent 'fault and -vulgar prejudice, that:thosemen'Who 'aim at 'general princi ples are, entitled to neglect accuracy of knowledge.

LITERARY NOTICE. A 'BRIEF NARRATIVE of an UNSUCCESSFUL AT TEMPT. to REACH REPULSE BAY.---By G. F. LYON. Bvo. We must naturally lament the failure of ono part. part of the Expedition which sailed for the North of America ; and we most deeply lament that so gallant a set of officers and of men were sent on such an expedition, in a vessel so wholly ttrifit for the purpose. We can readily enter into the. feelings the gallant Commander describes in the , present work, when he saw himself compelled by dire necessity to abandon all hopes of adding one leaf more to- the wreathe that already en - ' circles his brow. Rut we must feel deeply for the other officers employed upon this expedition , . and more especially for the gallant PAIULY, now left to himself, and obliged to remain long uncer tain as to the fate of his brave fellow adventnrerS• We find from Captain 1,31'S book that the sea son set in with more than its usual severity.' Thd gales to which he was exposed, and the dangers he incurred in consequence of them, are such as ships have, fortunately, not often to encounter. , How dreadful they were, and how well his'crew behaved, the following extract from his book will shew " It must be premised, that on this night of horrors it Wel a violent gale, the ship was at anchor,,but in a most dangerous' place ; the night piercingly cold, and the sea continuallywag h ' ' ing fore and aft the decks, and snow falling incessantly. A g the lower deck was afloat, the men could take no rest. " Never shall I forget the weariness of this most anxiou,9 • night.

To these discomforts were added the horribly; • uncertainty as to whether the cables would hold until ;W1 light, and the conviction also, that if they failed us, we s hould • instantly be dashed to pieces. Again, should they contin ue to hold, we feared, by the ship's complaining so• forward, that the bitts would be torn up , or that shy would settle down at her anchors, overpowered by 5 °P. , of the tremendous seas that burst over her. We ail Li t ••••' down at times during the night, for to have remained 0 : 0 ; .stantly on deck would have quite overpowered us; I consr°•;4. went up, and shall never forget the desolate picture which i v always before me.

I never beheld a darker rlif and its gloom was encreased by the rays of a small horn ni A. thorn, which • was suspended from the mizen stay, to _sh e • where the people sat. At dawn, on the 13th, thirty minutes after four, a.

The ship, in.stanstiPg . .T:aio'' wind, lay quite on her broadside, and as it then became that nothing held her, and that she was quite helplesa; man instinctively took his station, while the seamen at the ll is' having secured themselves as well as - was'iri their povl'irsod t peated their soundings, on which our preservation dePen, with as much composure as if we had been entering air -s af port.
