....; y:= RLIALENT. HOUE OF Lk/lA.Oz, MONDAY, JULY 4. An Officer from the Treasury presented at the bar minutes of the regulation of the office of the Clerk of the Pells. The Earl of HA RROWBY laid on the table the report of tflf! Committee on the state of Ireland. The Earl of DARNLEY said, that this was a very import ant document, and that many valuable suggestions were con tained in it. He was convinced that there could be no perma nent tranquillity in Ireland until the - . claims of the Catholics were acceded to. He was sorry that the Noble Earl opposite had, in the late discussion, given a stronger opinion against concession than on . any former occasion. He also regretted that the Committee had recommended no measure to the House on the Catholic question. It, was the same with regard to the elective franchise ; for although all the members of the Com mittee concurred in thinking its present state very mischievous, they had suggested no means of correction. The Noble Lord made many observations on these topics, which were not heard below the bar. The Earl of LIVERPOOLwouId not discuea the topics into which the Noble Earl had entered, but thought it necessary to notice two points. Though it was irregular to refer to the somrcee in which his opinion was to be found. if the Noble Earl did refer to them he would find that he (Lord Liverpoolj- had I not expressed a stronger opinion this session on the Catholic question than on former occasions. With respect to any re commendation on the subject to which the Neble Lord had alluded from the Committee, it would have been contrary to all practice. The business . of the Committee was to report in 'formation. It was necessary that the House should first recog nize the principle, before • a Committee could recommend any particular measure. The Earl of DA TINLEY explained. Lord DUDLEY and .WA R D presented -several petitions I from the Journeymen of different trades in Birmingham and its vieinitV, , against the Combination Laws Bill. Being acquaint eel with that part of the country, he could say that the rise which had taken place in the price of labour had not been caused by the Combination Laws. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN presented a petition from earners and occupiers of land in the neighbourhood - of Axmins ter in favour of the Western ship canal. EarI:GROSVENOR alluded to the Free Labour Bill,- and from the few observations which were audible below the bar, was understood to say, that he hoped the measure would he completely adopted in the ensuing Session. While on this subject, he took the opportunity of observing, that what he said a few days ago had been misrepresented. • He had been made to say that he had no hope of slavery being abolished ; whereas, what ,he had said was, that he had no hope of the slave. trade being abolished, until slavery was. The Noble- Lord also mentioned, that a considerable part of his speech on that subject had not been given. COMBINATION LAWS. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN had several petitions to pre sent against the Combination Laws Bill. He expressed his re.eret that the House should be called upon, within two days of the prorogation of Parliament, to pass a bill which was of so important a nature, that it - ought to have engaged the at tention of their Lordship for a considerable time. In addition • to this precipitation into which they were driven, their Lord ships were not assured that the informationziecessary to enable them to come to a proper decision was on the table of the House. Under these circumstances, it was with great reluc tance that he gave his assent to this measure. _The short-time. which was allowed to their Lordships incapacitated them from obtaining sufficient information on the subject. Yet, as upon • - the whole he thought the measure necessary, he .should not oppose it. Thepentions he had to present prayed that Counsel 'Might be heard against the bill, and if there were time, it would be their _Lordships duty to accede to this prayer; for • - they ought to give their assent to no law, however necessary it ' might appear to them to be, if any considerable body of per son thought themselves aggrieved by it, without first hearing . what such persons had to say against it. At another period of the Session he would have thought it his' duty to support the . 'prayer of the petitioners. and to move that their Counsel be heard. In the present case, however, he could only move that the petitiors do lie on the table. The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought there was sufficient time for any discussion of this Bill which could be necessary. The measure arose almost entirely out of the Bill of last session, Which had been hastily passed. He had not been aware of its extent, and did not; till It came into operation, know its pro visions. There were, as their :Lordships knew; many . old statutes for the regulation of labour, which had an injuriouti. in. flu erre on trade. Had the,Bill been, as be understood it, Con fired to the-repeal of thoae statutes, it would have been a very proper measure. But what did it do ? i-lt at one sweep repealed the whole of the common law respecting the relations of master_ and servant. Soon after it passed, disturbances and acts of vio lence t sett place in different ports of the country ; and it became absolutely necessary to pass some act on the subject, before the session closed. Though certainly brotl2,ht up at a very late period of the sesAon, he had no difficulty in saying that he considered the act indispensably necessary. Even if there were .py detects in the measure, the allowing them to piss rota(' not beconmared *With the mischief which would follow if the tswveere left in Its present 'state. This bill not only prevented the combination of Workmen against =Loci* and of masters against workmen; but: prevented the combination of workmen • rtgainet workmen. This was aproteetion which the honest and good workman hat} x right to expect. The present bill repealed the act of last session, but in doing so it also repealed all the - old restrictive statutes which were repealedby that act, while it restored the common law to its former state. Objection had' been motto thetlatnie for protecting workmen which contained the word " Molestation," but that was a word well known to the law, anti would have a fair interpretation. • The present bill alloWed an appeal from the decisions of Magistrates to the quarter sessions. The Marquis of LANSDOWN wished his opinion to go forth, that onte . measure of this kind was nesessary, and more • particularly that it was necessary to protect the workmen against therm:elves. lie wished every facility to be given both to masters and workmen to consult about the rise or fall of wages, bet it was obV t tous that no manufacture could be .carried. ow if any-persons could dictate to masters who should be :employed, and prevent men from exercising their right of labouring on Whatever terms they might please. This was what never could be tolerated in a free country. .Such a practice never could be sanctioned by law ; and what the Legislature would not be au thorized to do, surely ought rot to be allowed to be done by indieiduale; If the interference of workmen with- each other were perniitted to ga.on, trade would be forced from one. place to another; until it would at last be drlien out' of the Country. -However, he must say again, thanif any body of persons should after the Bill has passed, continue to think themselves aggriev. ed by it, he should' next session vote for their bein g "heard by counsel again:delve act. The LORD CHANCELLOR having pointed Out an irre- , gularity in the subscription of the first petition, which purported to be from the delegates of the journeymen of different trades in London and Weitminater.eit was withdrawn. The Marquis of LANDOWN then presented petitions from the hi'oad silk-weavers of Manchester, the broad silk-weavers of apitalfiehiS; and the • journeymen ladies' boot and shoe, • makers of Westminster. • • The Earl of RQ,SLY]ti concurred in the necessity of pro tetting workmen from the effect of combinations among them. selves lint as the Bill gave them the power of consulting about their wages, .he thoughttt woald be proper also torgive thetn.the poiver of consulting respecting such regulations in their ye spettive tradeS as Might affect their interest's. The Noble •Earl presented petitions against the Bill; from the shipwrights ofthe river Thames; the hewer-looin weavers of Manchester; the ca. , lino printers, and the COtton-spinners of Glasgow. The Bart of DARNLEY exp.:wised - his surprise - that:his ajesty's Prime Minister should have been so ignorant on the subjectof a.arill which had passed in the cOurse.of last Session, •aud that.bill en important a one. , ' On the Motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the Hattie solved- into-Committee on- the Bill, • .The'Marguis! of IiANSDOWN thought the punishment in •fficted by the: hill-too severe._ He would move to leave out the words - "- hard labour," and he would consent to' in sert "six. months" instead of " three," before the word stn.' prisonment. The Earl of LIVERPOOL could riot conceive that there w as any necessity for the amendment, becarise another clause in • the Act gave a party sentenced to that punishment 'bra Magis-- trate, aright of appeal to the Quarter Sessions, with, interme diate suspension of the punishment. The Earl of ROSSINN wished tohave the right given by the clause for allowing journeymen to meet for certain purposes; extended and strengthened by the addition of a few words,whkh •be proposed-for that purpose. The LORD CJAANCELLOR said that the clause as it stood would bear the very interpretation which the Noble Earl desired, and if it were brought before him, sitting as a Judge, against any party applying. for his Habeas Corpus, in. a more oppressive sense, he would discharge the prisoner: The 801 piesed the Committee without amendment, and was .r ported. The minding order was dispensed with, and the Jill was read a third time and passed. Earl GROSVENORcaIIed the attention of the House to the case of Jones, who' had been refused payment in Auld by a Bristol hank in exchange for their-own notes, though they offer ed notes of the of England. Before the Restriction Act of 1797, the law for comelling payment in gold was of a very summary description. That Act had not been revived with the . resumption of cash payments which restored the currency. The WEST IND STOCK ACCOUNT fur the - of Jul Articles.

Per haps it would be adviseable to pass a short act, before closing the Session, to give a more prompt remedy. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the holders of notes had a better remedy than could be given by any new Act in the law and the practice of banking credit as it now stood.— There could be no doubt that the country bankers were bound to pay in the current coin of the realm ; and the responsibility of not doing so threatened consequences to a banking Lt.tablish ment of good credit much more weighty than a.,:tew Act of Parliament could enforce. Lord,CLIFDEN said, that a friend of his had i been ti• e g i ted very unfairly the. Rank of Ireland. He .sent 1001. of their notes, and thetsent him back guineas, which, tho Ugh a legal tender, would not pass, and were therefore useless. Surely they ought to have sent the guineas to be coined into sovereigns which they might have done without expence. The Marqius of LANSDOWN moved the Order of the Day for committing the Indictments' Removal Bill, but with drew it till the next session, at the request of the - Lord Chan; cellor, who had not had time to look into it.

WEYMOUTH, JULY c 2.—The following is a copy of the Address from the Inhabitants of this town to his Royal Highness the Duke of YOR.K,:- May it please your Royal Highness, We, his Majesty's most loyal and dutiful subjects, thelnhabis tan ts of the borough and town of Weymotith and Melcornbe Regis, in the county of Dorset, most humbly and most respectfully beg the permission of approaching your Royal Highness to express our fervent gratitude for that most constitutional and seasonable speech which your Royal Highness lately delivered in the House of Peers. We would not presume to set ourselves up as judges in profound questions of State, for which we are not qualified by our knowledge, our habits, or our pursuits; we would rely, for the decision of these, upon the wisdoL! and ex perience of the Legislature and of his Majesty's GoVernment. But the dangers of the change in our Constitution, recently at tempted, it is within the capacities of our minds clearly to corn prebend. We cannot forget the lesions of. History, the faithful recordr of the past, and the instructor of nations. We cannot • forbear still to contemplate the sad picture which it draws of I then dismal ages when the Papal Hierarchy reigned triumphant through the fairest parts of Europe, in the full exertion of its cruel and unrelenting tyranny over. the human mind. We look with thankfulness and joy to the blessed era of the Reformation, which rescued this great kingdom from its spiritual and tem; poral captivity under the Church of Rome; which beheld .a multitude of sainted martyrs devoting their lives in the sacred cause, the revival of gospel truth,, and consequent establishment of those 'religious and civil liberties that confer upon the people 'of 'Greet Britain a per sonal-and general happiness, to which' no generation of antiquity can supply a parallel. We cannot, therefore, suppress our feelings of astonishment.and grief at the repeated endeavours which hare been made in the course of the list twenty five years to repeal those lasts which the wisdom of our ancestors have provided for the security of the Protestant Religion, and by such repeal to render our fellow-subjects of the Romish profession in England and Ireland capable of ad mission to a scat in the Legislature, and to other offices of poli tical power. Such a measure, if once carried, would be the first ;step towards a Revolution in Church and State, because the ,very essence of our Constitution is Protestant; none but a Pro-. testant King can wield the sceptre of these realms ; he is bound to maintain the present order of things inviolable by the Coro nation Oath, which is so clearly _worded that no subtle refine ment—no • arts of sophistry--can explain it -away. All his Councillors and - Ministers, who advise him on public affairs, must he Protestant.; the Judges who sit in our Courts of. Justice must be Protestant. How, then, we ask, can the privilege of participating in the enactment of our laws, and in the adminis tration of our Government, although so strenuously, .and, some cases, so violently pressed, be extended to the Professors of the Papal Faith without a manifest incongruity, and the • utmost danger to our religious and civil liberties ? But, what we consider as an argument altogether unanswerable, ought they to be trusted with . political power, whose allegiance is divided between the Sovereign of this United' Empire and the Pope of Rome ? Your - .Royal Highness, in your sound judg ment and wisdom, saw ; the subject in a just and constitutional --point of view, and influenced by your zeal for, the safety of the Protestant faith, for the stability of eur religious freedom, and for • the happir,css of his Majesty's people, you delivered in a concise, but complete and convincing,, argument, so highly be ,coming him who has so near an affinity to the Throne, your • opinion against she perilous Bill, then in rapid progress through the /louses of Commons. For this, the most important of all your services to the British Nation, important as they have been on other emergencies, the page of 'the flit= "Historiao, when the - tnibitlent passions of this - age are at rest in the grave, will throw an imperishable lustre of . glory round your. . The England has made itself to be heard in accord with ' the :leo timemte of your:Royal 'Highness, anti declared aloud, in all the energy of language, that the Papal - Religion shall never be allowed to recover its ancient dominion in this, Protestant _Kingdom.; We earnestly beseech Almighty God that he woubi in his goodness prolong the life of nurGrhOotix Sovereign; and of your Royal - Highness, to the latest term of yeart,•—and we are, with the most animated gratitude, ' .

We have selected the following ex tract, leaving our Readers to judge of its authen ticity and correctness FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JUNE 17.—The latest accounts from Altrania.give recent intelligence front Etolia and'Livadia. The following are the principal facts which they furnish : liedschisi - Pacha 'has already inundated all Etolia: with his troops, : as far as to the north side of the Gulf of Patras, whence he has made himself master of the road from that place to Le. panto (along the toast); and thus opened himself a communi ' cation with that place. It is inconceivable why the Greek ships which blockaded PatraS by sea till after the beginning of May have left the coast and gone to Cape Papas, whence they cruise partly on the coast of Etolia and partly on that of the Morea, as far as to Cipe Tornese. It is affirmed that the reason of this operation was the news of the speedy arrival of an Algerine squadron in the Gulf of Lepanto to support the operations of Redschid Pacha. The latest accounts how ever say, that no such squadron had appeared there. Mean time, Redschid Pacha communicated with Jussuf Governor of Patras, whom he had urged to send for some heavy artillery, with the necessary ammunition, to bombard Missoionghi and Anatolico. Redschid had not taken any with him on his expedition, and part of his field artillery, and a large convoy with ammunition which followed him, has been taken by the Greek marauding parties. No great fears were entertained at Missolonghi, as the sea is open, and the place cannot be taken unless blockaded on the sea : side ; and the Turks besides are not very skilful, and they have not the means of_ pressing the siege with vigour. As they had approached slissolonghi in considerable numbers, . Stournaris, the Governor, had' made a sally with a consider. able forc.!, defeated the Turks, and driven them several leagues from the fortress. Iski has collected a considerable force in the mountains, and does the Turks much injury. While one part of this army observes the motives of the Thessalian army, the other has approached Lepanto, and is endeavouring to penetrate towards the eastern frontiers of Etolia, and open a communication` with Anatolica and Missoloughi. Ibrahim's jsituation in the Morea has not improved. ffis efforts are prin.. cipally directed to maintaining hiAlself in his position till the' Captain PaCha.shall bring his . aid. Navarin is' in his power, but the fortifications of that place are destroyed.—(.2lTuremburg Correspondeuf, June 27.) • At a late hour this morning we received the Dutch Mail, but have only jest time to make the folloWing extracts : ST.

FRANKFORT; JUNE 23.—Some German Papers say that the heads of the house of Rothschild will shortly meet together either in Paris or London. As this house had had an important part in the principal financial, operations during some years past, it is no wonder that 'most persons ascribe this intended meeting, not to family, but to the necessity of arranging prepa ratoty measures for the purpose of being able, in case of need, to carry into execution a plan of effecting the reduction of the French Rentes (which has not yet been much advanced by the voluntary conversion), by an eventual repayment of the principal.

The Deccan Prize Money has become a sub.. ject of much public' interest since the discussions to which it has given rise in the House of Com mons. Previous to these discussions, the Trus tees (viz. the Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. Minn Tumor) had fallen into a state of supineness and apathy truly alarming .to. the Army of the Deccan, who have been for these six or severs years past looking out in vain for notifications of the time of distribution, when their examplary patience might be rewarded by the fullness of fruition. From this state of supineness and apathy they have been thus roused, and it is ICI 'be 'hoped they will not relapse,• but set About the 'discharge of their duties with a thorough deterMination to complete them. The heat exhibited in the'debate on this question last Friday night is a pretty tolerable proof of the degree of interest the Trustees have taken in; the late discussions, and of the strong anxiety they feel to set themselves right with the public. But their friends' . should be informed that prudence and caution are highly necessary ingredients in any line of defence they may severally take ep, and that recrimination, however just and correct , is no justification. Warmth of temper on some,. occasions of this nature is judicious, and never fails to produce its effect, when the charges then repelled are totally without foundation ; in the present instance it was most misplaced, seein4 the bare recital of the -fact that the prize-mood' is even yet undistributed, casts a strong suspicico upon the Trustees. The best excuse that W° offered for the conduct of the Duke and' Mr. ARBUTHNOT arose out of the circuur stance that the prize -lists were not delivere d' until the sth of June last, and that wit ! " out them it was impossible to draw up a schem e. for distribution. This certainly appears, at fir st sight, a full extenuation' of the charge of crelal imputed to the Trustees, and throws the blan3 o entirely on the shoulders of the CostsrANDEa-Pi' Cut EY and the Law and Prize Agents of the'creP' tors. It is, however, to be remarked, that the money even yet is not in, -band, and Sit' ,TiromAs Iftsr,op and his advisers very fairlf concluded that the furnishing of such could not be a matter of much momen t until they had learnt that the Trustees were l e situation to make use of it.
