1 bitac, ae qu al ifica tion s for the enjoymmt of certain offices flanchises, and civil rights, therein mentioned. ``2. That such parts of the said oaths as require a declaras tion to be made against the belief of Transubstantiation, or that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other Saint, and the sacrifice of the Mass, as used in the Church or Rowe, are superstitious and idolatrous, appear to this Com mittee to relate to opinions merely speculative and dogmatical not affecting the allegiance or civil duty of the subject, and that the same may, therefore, safely be repealed. " S• That it appears to this Committee, that in several Acts Paued in the Parliaments of Great Britain and Ireland respec t►vely, a certain Oath, commonly called the Oath of Supre ma?, is required to be taken as a qualification for the enjoy- Mani of certain offices, franchises, and civil rights therein men tioo4l,l, " 1. That in the said Oath and Declaration is contained, That no Foreign Prince, Person, Prelate, State, or Poten tate. ought to have any jurisdiction, pcneer, superiority, pre ernMaui, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within these Ileakna. " G. That it appears to this Committee, that scruples are entertained by his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, With respect to taking the said Oath, merely on account of the word spiritual' being inserted therein ; and that To r the purpose of removing such scruples, it would be expedient to declare the-sense in which the said word is used, according to the injunction issued by Queen Elizabeth, in the first year of her reign, and recognized in the Act of the fifth of her reign, and which, as explained by the thirty-seventh of the Articles of the Church of England, imports merely that the, Kings orthis Realm should govern all estates and degrees comutifted to their charge by God, whether they be ecclesias- Cutter temporal, and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn az(' evil doer." " C. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that such Act of repeal and explanation should be accompanied with such ex etrios3B and regulations as may be found necessary fin- preserv- V ?trolley-ably the Protestant succession to the Crown, accord ing to the Act for the further limitation of the Crown, and better securing the rights and liberties of the subject, and for Maintaining inviolate the Protestant Episcopal Church of Eng land and Ireland, and the doctrine, government, and discipline theta f ; and the Church of Scotland, and the doctrine, worship, 14 0 vottment, and discipline thereof ; as the same are by Law r eilliectively established." Mr. PEEL suggested to his friends the inexpediency of ° ,PPosing the Bill in its preliminary stages. Let it be intro " Ced, and those who agreed with him would he found ready to take their stand against it on the second reading. • AIL BROUGHAM approved of the fair and manly course ditch the Right lion. Gentleman opposite proposed to pursue. Hl' candid conduct on all occasions that this question was 'Might before the House, was indicative of the sincerity of the opinions he espoused upon it.—(Hear, hear!) Mr. PEEL wished to know when the Hon. Baronet intended to move for the second reading of the Bill. Sir F. BURDETT replied, that it was not his intention to .Pro Pose the second reading of it until after Easter. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Hausa adjourned at HALF•PAST THREE O'CLOCK. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. 110 USE OF COMMONS.

We copy the following article from the Second Edition of The Times, published at a late hour this day : " We stop the press to announce, that au of ficial account has arrived of a complete VICTORY gained by BotAvAtt's Army over the Spanish , Troops, the result of which is that Valdez, Can terac, La Serna, and Carratela have been taken prisoners, and the Governor of Callao has been directed by Canterac to deliver that fortress to the Independents. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.-PUBLIC NOTICE. LIMA, DEC. 18, 1824. " GREAT VICTORY-DECISIVE TRIUMPH. " The Liberating Army, ender the command of General Sucre, has completely routed the Spa nish army on the 9th of this month in the plains of Guamanguilla. General La Serna, who com manded it, has been wounded, and is made pri soner with Generals Canterac, Valdez, and Car ratela, and other Chiefs, Officers, and troops.— In consequence, all the baggage of the enemy, their arms, and accoutrements, are in our posses sion. Lieut.-Col. Medina, Adjutant of his Excel lency the Liberator, carried the official dispatch of the action,and it is to be lamented that he had the ill fortune to be assassinated in Guardo by the rebels in that town. But all the Authorities of the town, in the immediate vicinity of the field of battle, officially announce the triumph of our arms ; adding, that General Canterac, who took the command when General La Serna was wound ed, capitulated to General Sucre, expressly sti pulating that the fortress of Callao should be given up to the Liberating Army. " On the 9th Dec. was completed the day which commenced at Junks : in the beginning of the year the Spaniards pretended to re-conquer America with that army which has now ceased to exist. The plains of Guamanguilla have witnessed the victory which has terminated the war of independence in the continent of Colum bus. There was decided the question which divides Europe, which immediately concerns America, interests the whole human race, and the influence of which will be felt no doubt in a thousand succeeding generations ; the question is whether the world is to be governed by the abso lute power of those who called themselves legiti mate, or if the period is arrived when the people are to enjoy their right of liberties. The liberating army has solved the problem, and has raised the last monument that was requisite for its glory. Gratitude will inscribe on it the names of the conquerors of Guamanguilla, and of the illustrious genius who has directed the war, preserved Peru, and in the events of February has only met with new roads to glory ; his fame will last to the end of the world, and this is a feeling which animates all hearts desirous of liberty."—Press of Lima.

" TO TIM GOMMAIMANT-GEMAL AT ST. MACWILAYA, St u—The Commandant-General of the Isthmus, dated the 3d inst. states to me the following :- 44 I have this moment received a dispatch from the Secretary of his Excellency the Liberator from Lima, the tenour of which is as follows: " REPUBLIC OF PERU. " MINISTRY OF WAR AND MARINE. " Li ma, DEC. 18, 1824. " TO THE INTENDANT AND COMMANDANT GENERAL Or PANAMA. Cr It is extremely satisfactory to me to ap prise you, by order of his Excellency, the Li berator, charged with the dictatorial power, that at the hour five in the evening, various dis patches have been received, and among them one from General Santa Cruz, confirming the complete route of the Spanish army on the 9th instant, at Guamanguilla. The Viceroy La Serra, Generals Canterac and Valdes, have been taken prisoners, the first being seriously wounded ; the second (Canterac) having suc ceeded him in the command, capitulated to the Commander-in-Chief, General Sucre, and in consequence gave orders to the Governbr of Callao to place the forts at the disposal of his Ex cellency tq the other Spanish Chiefsot: e all submit to the General Lieut.-Col.

His Excellency considers quite sufficient the 4,000 men of the expedition from Panama to secure the independence and liberty of Peru. Colombia remains as free from the engagements she had in the south as Peru obliged for the assistance which she has received from her in the melancholy epoch of her calami ties. Iu consequence his Excellency the Liberator commands me to say, that if you have any rein forcements to send to Peru, or you should in future receive any for that purpose, you are to hold them at the disposal of the Government of Colombia, in order to determine what shall be done with them ; as existing circumstances render such reinforce ments unnecessary. " I am your very obedient Servant, " T. DE HELMS." 14 This I have.the honour and satisfaction of communicating to you for your information, con gratulating you and the department under your command, not only on this happy news, but also on the immediate part you have taken by your co-operation in the brilliant success of our armies in the territories of the Incas." " Permit me, Sir, to have the satisfaction of communicating to you the news of an event so glorious for Colombia, so important to the cause of South America, and so decisive to the preten sions of the Peninsula of Spain, and to congratu late you, and all Colombians, on the peace of the New World. g' May God preserve you, `• C. sOUBI4ETTE." The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night. They are chiefly filled with the debates iu the Chambers of Deputies on the law of in demnity to the emigrants ; the first article of which has been voted with the amendments pro posed by the Commission. The Moniteur con tains a Royal Ordinance reducing the numbers and limiting the services of the National Guard. Frankfort Papers and the Allgemeine Zeitung of the Rid instant, arrived this morning. Their contents are not or any importance. THE ITALIAN OPERA. The opening of the season of this great esta blishment, which had beeu delayed by the re pairs making in the King's Theatre, took place last night at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, which has been fitted up for the occasion in a style which makes it in a great degree a faithful mi niature of its splendid and gigantic neighbour.— Separated by temporary partitions, and adorned with pink curtains and draperies, the boxes dis played an elegant appearance, which became brilliant when they were filled with rank, fa shion, and beauty. A balcony from the centre box, opening upon a staircase, forms a com modious communication with the pit, the adop tion of which in the King's Theatre might perhaps be a great additional convenience, when the Performances are restored to their original locality. Those of last night were Le Nozze di Figaro, with l'Opande aux Graces, and as they presented many favourites to the public, they were much and justly applauded. Madame Roszi DE BEGNIII, in the Countess, sang with unrivalled taste and sweetness, and looked most interesting. Madame V ESTRIS and Signora CARADORI gate due effect to the other parts ; and BEGNIS was an excellent Figaro. The Ballet, notwithstanding the limited di .mensions of the stage, was highly effective, and the whole performance gave great satisfaction. At the close of the Opera " God save th e King" was sung by the whole corps. His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER arrived at the end of the first act, and several distinguished members of the Nobility added to the lustre of the audience, which without being numerous was elegant. Yesterday, being St. DAVID'S DAT, the most Honourable the Loyal Society of Ancient Britons, of which Lord NEWI3OIIOI7GII is President, assembled at the Wrelch Charity School, Gray's-inn-road, to celebrate their annual festi val. The school consists of 100 boys and SO girls, born of Welch parents in or within ten miles of London, and not entitled to any parochial settlement within its limits : they are wholly maintained, clothed, and educated at the school-house, by vo luntary subscriptions and donations, About half-past one they formed a procession, consisting of a military band, the chil dren of the school, and about twenty carriages 'belonging to Members of the Society. They proceeded along Oxford street and Regent-street to the parish church of St. James, Pic cadilly, where church service was read in the ancient British language by the Rev. Thos. Alban, A.M., vicar of Llandrillo, Denbighshire, chaplain to the Society, and an impressive ser mon preached from the 25th chapter of St. Matthew, 34th and two following verses by the Bishop of Chichester. A splendid collection was made on the occasion, After the sermon was over, the children returned to the school, and the members of the Society dined together at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Princess Soriu& visited the Duke of YORK yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK held a Levee, as Commander-in- Chief, which occupied the attention of the Royal Duke for about an hour, there being about 30 persons in attendance. Among those present were, the Earl of Cork, Lieut.-General Spencer, Sir. James 314 Gregor, Major-General Askew, Major- General Nicolls, Count Fouchneur, Dr. Randolph, &c. Mr. Secretary CANNING, we are happy to find, is in a considerably improved state of health. Lady COCHRANE is now pronounced by her Physicians to be obit of danger. FOR THE SUN. Ma. EDITOR.--Observin g by an extract from the Times in your Paper of yesterday, that Com missioners are now in London, on the part of Spain, endeavouring to procure a new Loan-trust for the honour of England, the interest of our countrymen, and all others concerned, I hope that strict justice will be done, in the first place, in re.; spect to the last Loan, or th a t Spain will be cogn.. : pelted so to act, p rev i ous t o h er p resen ting herself for a second time before a British Public, whose national integrity is so justly appreciated. This business must be most narrontly watched by our free, glorious, and respectable press, when we con sider the anguish which has been thus brought to our fire-side. The calamity of this hitherto swindling transaction on the part of the King of Spain and his present Government has already to my know ledge entailed suicide and dire misfortunes on too many families in this country ; and well are we aware as Britons, that were it not for the 'danger of disturbing the general tranquillity, our 'own Government would no doubt vindicate the rights of its most injured subjects, for although private, it may in truth be said that it is also na-: tional British Capital which has been then stolen. —Thank God it is not thus that Great Britain has established her far-spread renown, for if had, she never would have become the admira- Lion (and proud am I to say) and the enq of surrounding nations. Perhaps on the Continent they think us too much absorbed with our affairs in Ireland and elsewhere, to be very scrtt pulous on this point,—let them be aware that though made of much sterner stuff, we are never theless not less acute than themselves ; and if they want to return there for means, their pass port to our purses must be Honour and Probity. No compromise must we make, as Englishmen, with those who would in any or the smallest wise fail to keep faith with us. I conclude by sincerely hoping that the Press of England will look well to this. I remain, Sir, your's most respectfully, A Constant Reader, M. G. H. Deal, Fib. 27, 1825. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
