SOLgAI QUIS DICEltr. ELLIUM LUI.L'IT LONDON, SATURD-1.1" EVENING, APRIL, 30, 1525. The undecided manner in which the public has taken up the Catholic Question betrays ..a lukewarmness on their part, and gives increased hopes and vigour to the advocates of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S Bill. The consequence of this apathy has been the success of the Catholic Relief Bill, and the Introduction of two other measures, as adjuncts to it, as odious in principle as they are impolitic and mischievous ; we meats M r. LiTTLETON'S Disfranchising Bill, and Lord FRANCIS GOWER'S motion for payment of the Catholic Clergy. It is high time, however, that something decisive should be done that the question be set at rest for ever, and the country saved the yearly discussion that this subject never fails to produce. What better can we do, then, than follow the example of His Royal highness the Duke of YORK, and set ourselves, as much as in us lies, sturdily and manfully to oppose a measure replete with danger to the State, and re jected by the class whose immediate benefit it is ostensibly intended to secure. Such an example from any person ought to be followed, how much more so then when tke Heir Presump tive of the Crown leads the way. This conduct on the part of His ROYAL Hromsess has brought ou him the obloquy of the Catholic faction ; and, contrary to all Parliamentary usage, his speech has been the subject of remark in another place ; but it should seem for no other reason than because this open avowal of his senti ments, and the terms on which be now stands with the KING, precludes the hope of suc cess, and indicates, in no doubtful manner, the opinion of His MAausTir on this hmmentous question. But in answer to the censures thus cast on His ROYAL HIGHNESS, it may be asked, is he not a Member -of the House of Lords ; why then is he to be disfranchised only because he stands so near a crown, his ac cession to which (we are sure, he will pardon us) we hope will be many years deferred ; why is he to be prevented the expression of his opi nions, and compelled to measure his words, and consider their effect, more than if he was the last, as he is the first Peer of the Realm ? He had a right, it was his bounden duty to speak his sentiments whatsoever they were, and he spoke them in a way that reflects the greatest - credit on his head and heart. 'With regard to the pru dence of the declaration at such a time, it was for Ills ROYAL HIGHNESS to decide us to that, and, if in the exercise of his judgment, he deemed it proper to sacrifice every other consideration to the desire to discharge his duty as a M e mber of the Legislature, he is so m uc h t h e more ea titled to our admiration, and the high regards of every lo ver of his countr y , 111. d in spite of the n a faction he will obt a i n t h em. Th e relative e s of position His Roy Ar. litarrNess stands in relative has nothing to the Crown has to do with the ques tion, it could not disq u alify him from voti ng on A the Bill, an d it could not, as it appears to us, impose s il e nt vote upon him; and we repeat again, he was obliged in his character of a Peer of the Realm to express his opinion on a measure he deemed hostile to the interests of the country. Every one who places himself in a public situation must drop all personal considerations ; the public benefit is, or ought to , be., his sole object, and every thing else must give way to that. It was this noble feeling that actuated his Ito Y . AL lii cu• NESS, and induced him to stand forward the protector of the Protestant ascendancy against the cabals and intrigues of a seltiih 'party — a party who seek no other purpose but the ad vancement of their private plans, and the fulfil ment of their self-interested desires. For this reason, we say, His Row, IlinusEss is en titled to the thanks of the country, his conduct to its warmest approbation, and that appro bation will be best she►v rl by forwarding the views of Ills RoYat. IlionNEss, and exerting every nerve to crush the Pleasure he deprecated before it is brought for the consideration of the first Estate of the R.eal►n. The French Papers of Wednesday, which ar. rived last night, contain no news of importance. The project of law for the -.reducti on of the remit's is still under discussion in the Chamber of Peers. The following are extracts : (From the Constitutiunnel ry' Wednesday, April 27.) 'PAnts, am 26. A letter worthy of crec:it from the Pelop onn esus, Ar announces that the sam e General Odysseus, who, two years ago, suffered an army of 25,000 Turks to pass into the 3lorea, and thus ex posed to great risk the independence of his country, has just given occasion to most serious suspicions of his fidelity. Ile has declared himself in open rebellion against the Government, which has lost no time in sending troops against him. The rebellion of Odysseus will be suppressed with the greater faci lity, as the major part of his troops has declared against him in favour of the Government. This insurrection does not appear to be connected with any party formed in the Interior. Having been formerly the satellite of a Pacha, it is supposed that he feels less aversion than all the other Greeks for a re-union with the Turks ; and if he is not soon stopped by the Greeks, the Turks will do justice on him as they did on Ali Paella. ( From the Etoik, dated Thursday, April 28.) PARIS, Arum 27. We learn from Calais that Lieutenant Vaux, Master of the HOrse to his Excellency the Duke of Northumberland, Ambas sador Extraordinary from his Britannic Majesty to the Court of France, landed there on the 23d, with eighteen of his Grace's servants and 31 horses. They were to vet out the next day for Paris. (From the Moniteur cf Weilnetday.) CII•MUY.II. OF PEERS, •PRIL 25.

They write from Lyons, under date of the 25th April, that a great number of foreigners of distinction arrived yesterday in our town, amongst whom was Prince 3ietternich and his son, with a suite of twelve persons, going to Milan. Sidy Mah moud, Envoy Extraordinary from the Dry of Tunis, also is arrived to assist at the coronation of Charles Z. The l'rince of Carman is also arrived. According to some foreign Journals, it is reported that the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, has contracted a secret marriage with th• Austrian General Neipperg, who occupies a situation in the Court of that Princess. The Madrid Gazette of the 19th April does not contain a word of news. The King and his Family still inhabit the Castle of Arangues. A letter from Constantinople of the 211th Marsh, in the _dogs burg Gazette, states that Count Guilleminot, Ambassador from France, has conferences daily with the Reis Effendi. According to the Universal Ganette, it is reported and cre. dited at Constantinople, th a t th e Egyptian troops, after their first successes in the Morea, had been surrounded and de stroyed by the levy-en-masse of the Greeks. ---- CHAIdIIER or Pzras.—At the opening of the Sitting, a letter was presented from the Minister of the Interior, relative to the Coronation of the King. 102.7 FRENC 5. ; Hand FU afterNDS.Channtes for :Money, 102. 60. ; f or t i me, ge, 102..10.

W e were ye3terdny• gratified with a private view of the ensuing Exhibition, and we can fairly say that it is one of the very best that we have attended for many years, in point of variety and general excellence. Sir Triomax LAW licxcic hat seven pictures, among which his portraits of Lord Eldon and Mr. Canning are conspicuous . Sir William Beechey hat six—thole of the Duke of Gloucester, Mr. Martineau, of Norwich, Mrs. F. Manning, and Charles Saville Only, Esq. are prominent in merit. We are glad to notice three of Mr. G. Beechey, who evidently possesses hereditary genius. Mr. Howard has Seven. His Guardian Angels, in parti cular, is a beautiful composition. Mr. Weatall has a large scriptural picture, well suited to be an altar-piece in one of our new churches. Mr. Phillips appears to great advantage in kis portraits of Capt. Franklin, It. N., Dr. Badely, and Don Rivadatia, which are excellent. Mr. Slice fully maintains his high reputation in seven pictures. Turner'isHarbour ofDicepc is a masterly composition, and so is Wilkie's Highland Family. But we must reserve our notice of other works for want of room at present. Taste,however, as well as gallantry, induces us to notice Mrs. Pope's " Composition of fruit and flowers from Nature.". the subjects of which are admirably arranged and beatitifully painted. In the Architectural Room Mr. Soane has three ex cellent Drawings. Among the Honorary there is a beautiful Landscape, by Sir George Beaumont, Bart., which would do honour to any professional pencil. In the Sculpture are some ad mirable works from Westmacott; Kendrick, Behnes, &c. Ilut we must stop the pen for a future opportunity. The Rooms were wellattended, Besides partof the Royal Family, Lords Liverpool and Stafford, Sir George and Lady Beaumont, Sir Charles and Lady Long, the Rev. Dr. Long, General Phipps, Mr. and. Mrs. Peel, and many others of the higher circles, and a consi derable number of Royal Academicians, as well as a numerous body of their private friends, were present ; and, in the estima tion of the company, the Exhibition on the whole is highly honourable to the genius, talents, and taste of the country. ARGYLL Rooms.—The annual Concert of Mr. Ilawies took place last night, and the estimation in which his talents and character are held, was evident in an audience that entirely occupied the place and all the avenues into the Con cert-room. We regret that we have not space to detail the particulars of the harmonic treat which he provided for his friends on this occasion. The first act consisted of the music of Der Freyschutz, which was performed with correctness and spirit, and made a very strong impression, considering the want of scenery and action. The second act was partly mis cellaneous, but chiefly consisted of a Religious Cantata, com posed by Vox WEnrn, well supported by the vocal per formers in general, consisting of BUAIIAM, HAW ES, PHIL. LIPS, BELLAMY, Miss GOOI)ALL, Miss CAwsE and her sister, Miss .11T.TTs, &c. &c. &c. Miss STEPHENS was en cored in Donald, and BRAIIAsi in the War Song of the Spanish Patriots. 310R1 gave a Concerto on the violin, and Mrs. AN. DERSON on the pianoforte. The whole was a fine musical feast, and allured the company till a late hour. ON LADIES' EVENING DRESSES. When dress'd for the evening, the girls now•.a.days Scarce an atom of dress on them leave, Nor blame them—for what is an evening dress, But a dress that is suited for " Eve i' When any person above the lowest rank in society in France dies, it is customary to send an invitation to the relatives and friends of the deceased to attend his funeral obeeques. This invitation is printed, on a half sheet of large paper, the head, tail, and sides of which are ornamented with vignettes emblematical of mortality. The invitation is called a Billet d'Exterrement. It was upon the occasion of the dis solution of the French Republic, and the consequent change in the Government to a monarchical form, that the following jeu d'erprit was circulated in Paris among the friends and adhe. rents of the deposed dynasty : BILLET D'ENTERRXMENT.

NEW MILITARY RIDING SCHOOL.—Yesterday morning at 12 o'clock the Duke of Yonx, accompanied by the Marquis of Anglesea and a numerous stall; inspected the New Riding House and Barrack,.at John's Wood, near the Regent's Park, •; lately built .for the use of the Riding Establishment, under the • superintendence of Lieutenant-Colonel Peters, who had sem& ' time previous commenced' the formation of a- new system Of equitation tOr our cavalry at Pimlico, which has not only met with the Duke of York's patronage to be adopted in the ca valry, but many experienced cavalry officers have expressed their approbation of the utility of this newly-adopted system of equi tation. The building is 180 feet long by 60 wide ; one of the - finest and lightest wooden roofs we ever saw over so large a space of wooden building. Although the establishment is yet in its infancy, as to being generally adopted and understood, it is expected to improve much, as the superintendent has laid a plan for additional improvements to be added to the Establish ment, where all the officers are to• receive instruction in several branches of military science and exercise, even to lectures on the anatomy of the horse. H is Royal _Highness was pleased to approve of the construction of the building. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
