Clare. What mattered it whether the Hon. Mem ber was a big lion, a puny dog, or any other four. footed animal.—(Great laughter.)—He hoped the Member for Clare .would not shape his conduct by the advice of the Hon. and Learned Member, al though he swelled like the bull and the frog bursting with self-importance.—(Continued laughter.)—lt was quite an Irish scene, which he had never ex rected to behold in that House. What a man to read a lecture! It was like the mewing of a kitten (Laughter.)—The Hon. Member for Clare had not yet lost his teeth. He could still bite, and whet, tl?e erne should come he would halloo him on.— (A laugh.)—Under all the circumstances of th, case, he thought that his Hon. and Learned Friend had done perfectly right in bringing this subject distinctly before the House. He had been told that he was not a Learned Gentleman.—(A laugh.)—He thanked God that he was not; for sure he was, that if he had had in his power a deposition which would have cleared an individual accused of a capital charge he must have laid it before the Court, in spite of al! the etiquette to which Learned Gentlemen thought it their duty to conform.—(Cries of " Hear," in which Mr. Doherty joined.)—Had that been done in this case? Would the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman on the opposite bench get up and say that it had ?—(Hear, hear.)—But his Hon. and Learned Friend (the Member for Clare) had had the au dacity, it appeared, to speak of these transactions out of doors in such language as his feelings dictated, and had not repeated his observations in that House. " Is it to be supposed," continued the Hon. Mem ber, " that because I am a Member of Parliament, and chose to go to the Crown and Anchor Tavern, and make observations there upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or it may be upon his Majesty's At torrey-General, is it to be supposed, I say, that am t be compelled to repeat the same observations here ? Isay that if I make use of observations out of !loop: which give offence to Hon. Members out of doots - , let them call me to account for them. I ad mit that I say many things in this House which I should be afraid to say out of this House—(Hear, and a laugh)—knowing that there is such a being in existence as an Attorney-General, and that it is possible for him to find pliant Juries. I may be tanned with cowardice, as I have been already, for this declaration. But my doctrine is, that in these cases discretion is the better part of valour— (Laughter)—and then how foolish should I look if I weg to find myself luid by the heels in Newgate, owing to the interposition of an Attorney-General." (Hear, hear, and laughter.)—He then proceeded to observe, that the Hen. and Learned Gentleman op posite had not shown either that good sense for which he (Mr. Hume) gave him credit, or that disposition to let all things go on smoothly in Ire land on which he prided himself so highly, in read inn. such voluminous extracts from speeches made at eomvivial boards, when a man was inclined, from the excitement of the scene, to speak more freely than prudence warranted, or than he m'ght otherwise be prompted to do. He would, however, confess that in all the extracts which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had read, there %vas not one word which he would not have been proud to utter —(Cries of " No, no,")—with the exception of the last extract, which related to the Sub-letting Act.— (Hear.) —He was surprised the Hon. and Learned Gentleman should have read the extract after the en:reit mhnner in which the Hon. Member for Clare bad disavowed it. He could not help considering that circumstance as a proof how strongly the Hon. and Learned Gentleman felt the justice of the ob sercations of his Hon. and Learned Friend the Member for Clare.—(Hear.)—lie thought that it was the bounden duty of every honest man, who thought that a public officer had misconducted him self, to state that opinion publicly, whenever occa cion called for such expression of public opinion. He contended that the way in which his Hon. and Learned Friend had been treated by the gentlemen opposite for daring to express his opinions was most illiberal. They had accused his Hon. and Learned Friend of shrinking from his charges, as if he was afraid of their vituperation. Why, his Hon. and Learned Friend bad no occasion to be afraid of those two lion. and Learned Gentlemen, no, nor ten like them.—(A laugh.)—Supported by the cheers of the Treasury bench, they might have exceeded the discre tion which they e oui,l have felt bound to exercise else where. But what had really been the conduct and language of his Hon. and Learned Friend the Mem ber for Clare ? He had stated in his place in Par- limneffis that when he first became acquainted with the facts which had that sight been the subject of discussion, he was led by the impression of the mo ment to declare his determination to bring the whole conduct of the leading Counsel for the prosecution before the House of Commons; but that :n the time which had intervened between his making that de claration and the meeting of Parliament, he had Lad some reason to doubt the accuracy of the facts which had led to the formation of his original irn -I,rossion. He therefore said, in the hearing of the House, that he bad sent to Ireland for further infor rmoon—tbat if that information were defective, lie .could disavow the opinion which he had formerly expeessed ; but if that information should support t!:e opinion which he had originally entertained, he would bring the matter forward in the House openly .and rnanUly. After such a declaration, what right had the Noble and Learned Gentleman opposite to t aunt his Hon. and Learned Friend with shrinking from his pledge ? He hoped that the production of the information for which his Hon. and Learned Friend now moved, would free the Honourable and Learned Gentleman opposite even from the sus iriciim of misconduct, and with that view he should certainly support the present motion. He had hitherto always entertained a favourable opinion of the lion. and Learned Gentleman ; at present that opinion was weakened; he should be glad to restore the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to that favourable opinion again, but he must withhold it until he gained this information.—(Hear.) A conversation, between Mr. JEMISON and Mr. .DottenTY, here took place across the table, re specting the time when the deposition of Patrick Daly, of the 29th April, was first in Courts but Jephson's remarks were quite inaudible in the gallery, and Mr. Doherty's nearly so. We under stood the latter gentleman to state, that he held in his . hand a certificate of the Clerk of the Crown in Ireland, that the depositions of Patrick Daly, and particularly his deposition of the 29th of April, were returned to the proper quarter three months before, that is, early in August. On the second trial Mr. Baron Pernefather, observing on the va riance between the witness's deposition and his oral evidence, called him (Mr. Doherty) aside to the bench, end asked whether that variance had at tracted his notice. He told the Learned Judge im mediately that it had. He could not - have noticed it to the Jury for the reasons assigned by his Hon. and Learned Friend behind him. He certainly had en impression, and a strong impression on his mind : it might be a wrong impression, or it might be a right one ; but lie felt that if he had mentioned it to the Court, it must have been in a point of view un- • favourable to the prisoner. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL conceived that the d.arge so calmly and moderately brought by the lion. and Learned Member for Clare was founded in , a mistake, end that therefore his Hon. and Learned Friend, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, had no occasion to have come forward in his own vindica- • I tion. How could iais Hon. and Learned Friend be accused of any want of humanity in not withdraw- I ing this prosecution, when on the same evidence other persons had been subsequently convicted ? Though t the Hon. and Learned Member for Clare was in dined to distrust the justice of his first impressions, owl to retract from the charges which he had made against his lion. and Learned Friend when under ' I their influence, he was not at all surprised that his and,Learned Friend, in his anxiety to main lain his professional honour free from imputation, Should have been desirous to bring his accuser to the test in that House, and to compel him either to retract or prove his accusation in the face of the country. He was sure that there was not a single man of sense and honour in that House, who was not of opinion that his Hon. and Learned Fric.nd the Solicitor-General for Ireland stood ac quitted of all blame in these transactions.— (Hear, hear.)—He did not think that the pro duction of the papers for which the Honourable and Learned Member for Clare had moved was at all necessary ; but NS his Hon. and Learned Friend the Solicitor-General for Ireland was willing to let the Hon. and Learned Member for Clare have these depositions;he should not object to their pro duction. The Hon. and Learned Member, however, asked for all the depositions which Patrick Daly had ever made- Now that motion was so large that he must resist it, though he had no objection, as he had before said, to grant the deposition of the 29th of April. He could not consent, however, to the other part of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's motion, which was for the production of the Judge's notes. That motion was quite ❑nprecedented, and the only foundation which was now laid for it was, that such notes were public property. With that doctrine he could not agree ; they were merely taken to refresh the Judge's memory. Some Judges took them very long, others very short—the latter course he thought the best ; certainly it was the most ex peditious. He never knew such notes used as the foundation of any ulterior proceedings. They were not evidence in a Court of Law, nor could they be exhibited at the bar of the House of Peers, in case the Hon. and Learned Member for Clare should prevail on the House to bring an impeachment against his Hon. and Learned Friend the Solicitor- General for Ireland. Why, then, should the House agree to a motion whicl► was in its nature unprece dented, and which, if granted, would not answer the object of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman with whom it had originated ? It would be treating the Learned Judge with disrespect to commit his meagre notes to print ; and for that reason, as well as for the other reasons which he had mentioned, he should refuse his assent to this part of the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Clare. Mr. D. W. HARVEY did not think the great anxiety which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, (the Solicitor-General for Ireland) exhibited to meet the charges which were brought forward in this instance, at all consistent with the line of con ' duct which he pursued; for he was ready to grant to the Hon. and Learned Member for Clare a docu ment which was already before the public—namely, the deposition of Daly,—while he refused those documents which were absolutely necessary to main tain the charges in question ; to wit,• the Judge's notes at the trial. The Hon. and Learned Gentle man had, with great tact, diverted the attention of the louse from the real question before it, to imputa tions which, he asserted, had been cast upon himby the Hon. and Learned Member for Clare, but with which the House had nothing to do; and he had further contrived to shift the charge, with regard to the deposition, ft om his own shoulders to those of the Learned Judge who presided at the trials. According to the statements of the Hon. Gentleman, the deposition was in the pos session of that Learned Judge during the first and second trials, which, when produced upon the third trial, at once procured the acquittal of the prisoners. Under such circumstances, the House was called upon to vindicate the judgment -seat, and they could only do so by calling for the production of the notes of the Learned Judge at those trials, in order to sec how the facts really stood. It was absolutely necessary that the Judge's notes should be produced to elucidate this transaction. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Doherty) had said that the points of difference between the viva voce tes timony and the deposition were of littie importance; but that was mere assertion, and the Judge's notes would alone supply the proof to enable the House to decide as to that. He should support the motion. Mr. D. CALLAGHAN said, that having acted as one of the jurors on the second of the trials which had been referred to, he felt bound to bear his tes timony to the propriety of the course which had been followed on that occasion by the Hon and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Doherty.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was quite op- posed to the motion of the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Clare. It was his solemn and sincere convic tion that he had never seen a case which had broken (loam so completely as this case had, and he should, upon these grounds, vote against the motion. Lord F. L. GOWER did not think it at all ne cessary, for the ends of justice, that the papers called for should be produced; he should resist their pro duction. Mr. O'CONNELL replied, that he wished, in the first instance, to state, that the Learned Gentle man (Mr. Doherty) laboured under a mistake as to the definition which he (Mr. O'Connell) gave at the trial of the crime of perjury. He then stated that, according to the doctrines of the church to which he belonged, the breaking of a lawful oath, or the taking of an unlawful one, was perjury, and !o that statement he still adhered. The Sub-letting Act had been introduced into this discussion, with which it had nothing to do. In reference to one particular speech which he (Mr. O'Connell) was represented to have made on that subject, arid to which the Learned Gentleman had referred, he (Mr. O'Connell) wished to state that the words attributed to him at the end of that speech in a Dublin paper had not been used by him. He ri collected meeting the reporter of that paper in the ball of the Four Courts the day that speech was published, and he told him the paper would be prosecuted for it. The reporter, like reporters generally, was sturdy, and adhered to his version of the speech ; but he (Mr. O'Connell) having upplied to the reporter of an other morning paper in Dublin, who had taken a more accurate note of the speech, at his request that gentleman wrote out his notes, from which it ap peared that he (Mr. O'Connell) never employed the language attributed to him in the newspaper referred to by the lion. and Learned Gentleman. He only asked for evidence, not for a vote of censure. If he had the depositions, he would prove all he had undertaken to prove : but the Noble Lord ,was too dignified, and the H)n. and Learned Solicitor-Ge neral (Mr. Doherty) too sagacious to grant them.— He contended that lie had proved his case, and that the depositions of the informer, as well as the notes of She Judge, ought to be produced before the House. Mr. PERCEVAL defended, in strong terms, the conduct of the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Long after party feelings had ceased, his solicitude for the weifare of that country would be recollected with sentiments of gratitude. His character would stand high in the favour of the people of Ireland, when the attacks of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman were forgotten. The cry - of " Question" now became general. The galleiy was cleared for a division. The numbers were— For the motion.. Against it 7O Majority The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'clock. IVe have just heard of a melancholy case of suicide, committed by a gentleman in the county Limerick, who has for for some time past been labouring under mental aberration. As the case will come under the surveillance of the Coroner, we refrain from making any further ob servation for the present. By the death of this gentleman a pension of 1,0001. a year from the Civil List reverts to tlke Crown. This annuity he enjoyed in right of his late father, who was for many years an illustrious Dignitary of the Irish Rencli.,--Publin Morning Register.

PARIS, MAY 10.—The King of Sardinia has not thought fit to protest against the decree, issued by Spain, for the abolition of tile law of Philip V., though the house of Savoy has never renounced the contingent rights given to it by the will of Charles H. But M. de Latour has not concealed the pain which his Sovereign had felt at this deter mination of the King of Spain. It will be recol lected, that in 1789 Louis XVI. had succeeded in preventing Charles 111. from carrying this same pro ject into effect. According to Cle latest arrivals from Constanti nople, the protocols had been presented by the three Ambassadors, and the answer of the Sultan was ex. petted soon to be known. Thus there is no foundation for what the Consti tutionnel says to-day, that the Sultan has given a negative answer to the proposal which had been made to him, to cause the fortresses and districts to be evacuated which are to form part of the new Greek state. The general depot of our expedition against Al giers will be at Mahon. The Duke of Brunswick has not written to the King of England the letter of apology t h at was re quired of him. His Majesty himself has dispensed with this, but the Duke will be brought to trial, and the Constitution, which he had r evo k e d , will b e re established. Thus this affair has terminated, which has excited such lively interest throughout all Ger. many. Prince Lieven, the Russian Ambassador at Lon don, is c4pected at Paris this week. He is going to Petersburgh, or, rather, to Warsaw, to meet the MELANCHOLY CASE OF DEATH FROISI HYDROPHOBIA. In the early part of last week, a surgeon named Griffith came to London on business, and having been acquainted with inspector Rogers, of letter F division, be waited upon him, with a request that he would recommend him to a lodging during his stay in town, intimating that it was his intention to return to Sussex in a week or two. Mr. Rogers accordingly, procured him a lodging near his own residence, and left him on Wednesday evening last, apparently in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. On the following day (Thursday) he was sent for, and found the unfortunate gentleman appa rently labouring under the effects of insanity. He spoke incoherently, and at intervals was so excited that it became necessary to place him under some restraint, fur which purpose Mr. Rogers had him conveyed to the police station in Covent-garden, where his symptoms became so alarming that Mr. Thomas, the superintendent, considered it necessary to call in medical advice, and accordingly the attend ance of Mr.l3eames, a surgeon, having been procured, that gentleman immediately pronounced that the pa tient was labouring under the effects of hydrophobia. The dreadful malady from that time became more strongly developed, and the cries which at times es ' taped from the unfortunate sufferer were described as most agonizing. At the sight of water or any liquid that was offered to him, he broke out into the most frightful paroxysms, in the intervals of which he begged of those around him not to fail writing to his friends to tell them how lie had died, and then be would exclaim, "My God, my God, is it not a dreadful death to die !" During a tranquil interval Mr. Thomas asked him when he had been bitten, to which he replied with difficulty, " About two months ago, here, here," pointing to the lower part of his leg. The unfortunate gentleman desired that he might be sent to the Middlesex-hospital, ob serving that he had walked it when a pupil. His request was complied with, and in a few hours after his arrival at the station he was conveyed from thence in a coach, and placed in the hospital above mentioned, where, notwithstanding the very best care and advice, the effects of the fatal disorder be came hourly more strong, and on the night of Sa turday terminated, in the death of the unfortunate patient, whose sufferings were most dreadful to the last. Inspector Rogers fulfilled his wishes by writ ing to his friends to acquaint them of his melan choly fate., arid some of them arrived in town on Monday last. The appearance of Mr. Griffith only the day before the breaking out of the dreadful disorder was that of robust health, his countenance being florid, and his spirits high. He was about 32 years of age when attacked by the horrible ma lady of which lie died. The valuable diamond ring which was stolen from Madame Vzsznis, and which her servant, when apprehended, said be had thrown away, has been found. After considerable search it was discovered in the dust bole, at the Police station, by Avis, an officer of Marl borough-street, who immediately forwarded it to its proper owner. SIR S. ROMILLY.—How noble and pure was the ambition of Sir Samorr. RosxrLLY we "may learn from the following beautiful passages, where he has ex plained the motiv es b y w hi c h h e was actuated in his pro posed reforms of the criminal law. "It was not," said he, " from light motives—it was from no fanciful, notions of benevolence, that I have ventured to suggest any:altera tion in the criminal law of England. It has originated in many years' reflection, and in the long-established belief that a mitigation of the severe penalties of our law will be one of the most effectual modes to preserve and advance the humanity and justice for which this country is so emi nently distinguished. Since the last session of Parliament, I have repeatedly reconsidered the subject : I am more and more firmly convinced of the strength of the founda tion upon which I stand ; and even if I had doubted my own conclusions, I cannot forget the ability with which I was supported withi n these walls; nor can be insensible to the humane and enlightened philosophy by which in contemplative life, this advancement of kindness has been recommended. I cannot, therefore, hastily abandon a duty which, from my success in life, I owe to my profession ; wLich, as a member of this House, I owe to you and to my c ountry ; and which, as a man blessed with name than common prosperity, I owe to the misguided and unfortunate." —Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia, Vol. VI.

PARIS, MAY 9.—The Baron de Varennes, second Secretary to the French Legation in Turkey, set out this morning express for Constantinople, in order to carry our Ambassador instructions from his Government. TOULON, MAY s—Yes t erday, at two o'clock, his Royal Highness, accompanied by all the superior officers of the navy, arid the numerous staff of the army, landed at the Polygon, where a new spectacle excited the admiration of all the spectators; it was the representation of a landing such as will be made at Algiers. Five flat-bottomed boats full of troops and cannon approached the beach of the Polygon; in a very short time all the troops were on shore, cannon were landed, and the soldiers having first dispersed as sharpshooters, came and entrenched themselves be tween two ranges of pikes, whence they continued their fire at the same time that the artillery were landed. This sight, which was quite new to the Toll lonese and the numerous strangers which the pre sence of the Prince had attracted to our city, passed in the view of above 10,000 persons who occupied the eminences. The Prince returned at three o'clock. He seemed highly satisfied, and testified his pleasure to the Mi nister of Marine, to Admiral Duperre, and the Ma ritime Prefect M. Martinenq. To-morrow the five troops of the Ist division will be reviewed by the Prince at nine o'clock. His Highness will set out to return to Marseilles at ten o'clock. Wh;le the troops were landing near the Polygoo, a spectator, addressing a well-known Admiral, said, " If the landing is made with the same care on the coast of Algiers, it will be all over with the Alge rines." " Yes !" replied the Admiral, "if we have only Algerines to deal with." (From the Journal du Commerce.) TOULON, MAY 4.—Three English vessels (plea sure yachts) arrived yesterday and the day before, with their owners on board, to witness the prepara tions for the expedition. The Dauphin showed himself yesterday in public, after receiving the visits of the public authorities. He was greeted with exclamations of " Vive le the which he repaid with repeated and affec tionate bows. At ten o'clock this morning the Prince proceeded to the dock-yard, accompanied by the Ministers of War and the Navy, as well as by the Admirals and Generals. All the troops were under arms, and lined the interior of the place. He inspected the different establishments in detail ; he found every where the same sentiments of love and respect. At one o'clock he proceeded to the road, which he traversed in every direction ; on his pass ing any of the King's ships a salute of artillery an nounced his presence, and the hurrahs of each vessel were successively repeated from ship to ship. It was a beautiful spectacle to behold 150 vessels, all drawn up in line of battle, and dressed with standards and signal flags. The seamen manned the yards, the shore being covered with soldiers, and an immense population, and the boats of the King's ships and of private individuals rowing about the road, upwards of 1,000 in number.

The following Bulletin was issued this morn, " Windsor Castle, May 13. " The KING has passed a more comfortable night. " The symptoms of his MAJESTY'S complaint, how ever, do not vary." (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD, " MA ['THEW JOEIN TIERNEY." The following are extracts from German Papers, received this morning:— NEWS FROM GREECE. —The Courier de la Gr:ce (the official paper of the Greek Government, published at Egina) of 27th February contains various documents, relative to the new organization and endowment of the Greek National Bank : 1. A Report of the three Commissioners of the Na ional Bank (A. Contestavlos, J. Conlumas, and A. Pa padopulos) to the President, dated Napoli, 10th February. According to this report the sum of the shares deposited in the Bank at various times by the proprietors has amounted to 154,896 talari 74 cents ; but at this mo ment the Bank owes only 100,365 talari 90 cents, the remainder having been repaid in principal and interest to those who wished to withdraw their money from the Bank. The Commissioners regret that, notwithstanding the ac knowledged utility of this establishment, the sums placed in it litherto have been comparatively so small,which they ascribe to the novelty of such an institution in Greece, and to the confusion anti disorder that prevailed in the country previous to the arrival of the President. They are very glad that the President, in order to afford a sure pledge, as well to the old shareholders as to those who may be willing to subscribe, has given orders for several fertile parcels of land, in different provinces, to be valued by a Commission of quali fied persons, with the intention that those lands, as national property, s h a ll serve as secur i ty i n t h e new organization of the Bank ; se that the principal of the old and new subscribers to this establishment, to the amount of 3,236,000 phenixes, or 539,3331 talari will be perfectly covered. A careful cultivation of those lands, and a wise administration of their produce, will fully gua , rantee the payment of the annual interest. The 2d document, a decree of the President of the 13th February, 1830, specifies the lands alluded to in the preceding as the security for the Bank. 3d. A decree of the President of 15th February, fixing the duration of the national Bank for five years, at the expiration of which the proprietors may either withdraw their capital, if they will not take part in the n,sv organization of it which will then be made according to circumstances. The interest remains at )3 per cent, payable every year on the Ist of April. The number of shares is fixed at 6472, each fur 500 phenixes (which, with the old shares not withdrawn) makes the entire amount of 3,236,000 phenixes. Should the number of shares sub scribed exceed the above number, the Government en gages to assign more lands as a security for the amount. 4th. A decree of the 17th of February, appoints Alex. Contestavlos, d'Bulgari, and Ariel Janisti to be provi sionally Bank Directors, as soon as there is a sufficient number of subscribers. The permanent Directors of the Bail shall be appointed, viz , one by the Government, and two by the proprietors. The Bank, the direction of which shall be separated from the finance department, will for the present be established at Egina. The Courier de Gree, of the 13th March (the latest we have received) contains a Message of the President, of Feb. 9, to the Senate, in which it is called upon to urge those Members to complete their labours who have to examine the claims of Hydra, Spezzia, and Ipsara, to an indemnity, accord ing to the Decree of the fourth National Congress, dated Aug. 10, 1829. The President expresses a hope that the National Bank, assisted in some measure by the sav ings of the Exchequer, will be able to devote, in the course of February, 50,000 talari to this indemnity, which is greatly required by the state of the marine, which is daily more and mere declining. The President wishes to hear the opinion of the Committee of the Senate on the propor tions in which this sum shall be divided among the na • tional marine of those three islands, it being understood that the persons receiving it must be bound to employ the money in repairing their ships. The same No. of March 13, contains the following Message of the President to the Senate. The communica tion which we have required from the Commission ap- '~ ,~~ -,. - • *k. pointed to revise the Constitutional Acts, will give the Government the official information upon which it has 0 found its resolution, according to the enactments of Art. 11 and 12 of the second decree of the Congress of Argos, of July 14. But as the Commission desires to be acquainted with the remarks which we have ourselves node on this su►eject, we do not hesitate to communicate thew► to it. These remarks, however, can refer only to the er" tern, according to which in our opinion the labours of Commission may be the most advantageously conducted. The principles annexed to the second decree, sketch in our opinion, the plan which the Commission has to fil l up by the analysis of the old Constitutional Acts. The key-stone of every political edifice consists in the positive • definition of that right of the citizens which we call the right of voting. It must therefore be seen how this right is defined by the Constitutions of Astros, Epidaurus, and Trxxene. The next will be to examine in these s ame acts on what conditions and in what forms the nation has given this right to Greeks not born in the State, and to stran gers. Lastly, it must be known whether these acts la/ down the terms on which the citizens entitled to vote are called upon to exercise that right ; when the Commission has compared the principles sanctioned by these Constitu- tions, it will perhaps perceive that it cannot better fulfil its task than by communicating to us the observation on this important subject that experience may suggest. Pursuing the same course the Commission will then analyse the principles which the Constitutional acts have sanctioned, respecting the legislative, judicial, and the executive authority. Lastly, it might, in addition, under the title of General ordinances, briefly state all the principles of the said acts. As soon as we have this analysis before us we shall not delay asking the opinion of the Senate on the project of a fundamental • statute, which has been the subject of our meditation ever since the nation has done us the honour to confide to us the management of its dearest interests. (Signed) The President, J. A. CAPO D'ISTRIAS. The Secretary of State, N. SPILLADIS. Napoli, Feb. 16, 1830. FROM THE ELBE, APRIL 30.—1 t is reported that let ters have lately been received at Brunswick, written by the Duke from Paris, in which his Highness informs the Ministry that he intends to comply with the deciamle of the Diet, and to refer to the legal tribunals the extraordi nary prosecutions commenced against certain persons. We . therefore hope that the threatened military occupation will not take place, and that tranquillity will not be in any way disturbed. His Highness will soon return to Bruns wick, and may nlw be burr of the most joyful reception by his subjects. VIENNA, MAT I.—The British Ambassador has re turned from his late visit to.Frankfort-on-the-Maine. On the 15th there will be a grand chapter of the Order of the Golden Fleece. A Russian Courier, from St.Petersburgh has passed through here on his way to Italy, with despatches for the Russian Fleet. HAGUE, MAY 6. MODIFIED PROJECT OF LAW FOR THE RE PRESSION OF THE CRIMES OF INSULT AND CALUMNY. " WE, WILLIAM, &c.—Having taken into considera tion the insufficiency of the enactments of the law of the 16th of May, '1829, with the advice of our Council of State, and the assent of the States-General, we have ea.- acted and enact— " Art. 1. Whoever maliciously, in whatever manner or whatever means, shall have attacked the Royal dignity, the authority, or the rights of the King, or of his dyn a sty, or who shall in the samd manner have insulted, outraged, • or calumniated the King's person, shall be punished by imprisonment for a term of from two to five years. " 2. Insult, outrage, or calumny towards one of the members of the Royal Family, shall in the same cases be punished by imprisonment from one to three years. "3. Whoever shall wickedly, and with the exception of a suit or defence in justice, have attacked the obligatory force of the laws, or excited to disobey them, or shall in any manner whatever have endangered the public tran quillity, by favouring discord, fomenting disorder or dis trust, or by outraging the Government or its acts, shall be punished by imprisonment from one to three y e ars. " 4. In case of a repetition of the offence, the penalties inflicted by the present law may be increased by one half of the maximum. " The ,me may be done with regard to the penalties decreed in articles one and two, of the law of May 16, 1829, in case of repetition of the offences therein men tioned. " 5. Persons accused of the offences stated in Art. one, two, and three, of the present law, cannot be brought to trial without the preliminary forme of instruction and renvoi. " 6. Art six of the law of May 16, 1829, is not ap plicable to the offences of insult, calumny, or outrage to wards the King, the Members of the Royal Family, the constituted authorities, or their members, or tow a rds public functionaries, these offences shall in such cases be prosecuted ex-officio, even without any previous com plaint of the persons calumniated or insulted. " 7. The prosecution of the offences mentioned in the present law, and in Articles one, two, and three of that of 16th May, 1829, cannot be prosecuted after the lapse of three months from the time when the offence was eou►- mitted." Prince Albert of Prussia is expected at the Hague at 'e end of the week. BRUSSELS, MAY 11.-The appeal of Messrs. Potter and Tiel►nans will be decided upon on the 24th of May. We learn that a warrant has been issued to arrest M. Claes, one of the editors of the Courrier des Pays Bar. Papers have been received from Nova Scotia this morning to the 10th April. In consequence of the rejection of the Revenue Bill by the Coun cil, some very severe remarks had been applied by the Members of the Assembly to the conduct of the Council. This had produced a message from the latter, in which they stated it was the duty of the House to punish Members who used such gross and libellous accusations; and that although, from the injury that would occur to the province, they could not refuse to transact any further public business with the Assembly, yet they looked for due notice being taken of it. To this, the House of Assembly passed resolutions stating that the uncourteous terms of the message prevented its being considered, and in addition to this, expressed their satisfaction at the conduct of their Speaker (one of the most severe of the animadversionists.) This the Council notices, by resolving that the message sent by them was conformable to precedent, and was as moderate as they could adopt, and they conclude by passing the fol lowing : Resolved—.." That his Majesty's Council cannot transact any further business with the House of Assembly." This was followed by appointing a Committee to wait upon the PRESIDENT, stating the whole of the matter. The House of Assembly also presented an Address to the PRESIDENT, in which they state as follows : " We, the Representatives of his Majesty's loyal people of Nova Scotia, humbly express our deep regret, that by the conduct of his Majesty's Council we have been pre vented providing the necessary supplies for his Majesty's Government in this province during the ensuing year. " It is for his Majesty's Council to satisfy the country, of which your Honour and ourselves are the guardians, that on this unfortunate occasion they have acted judi ciously, and with proper regard to the best interests of Nova Scotia, but we assure your Honour that no effort on our part short of absolutely yielding to his Majesty's Council the dearest and most important rights of those whom we represent, have been left untried to avert from them and ourselves the manifold evils which will inevi tably result from the present state of affairs." The following is a copy of his Honour the PRESIDENT'S Message : " MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF HIS MAJESTY'S COUNCIL, MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. t 4 When I had the pleasure to meet you here on the 11 th February, for the despatch of public business, and had nothing of moment to submit to your considera tion, 1 did entertain a sanguine h o p e that by your united endeavours, and cordial co-operation the Session would not have detained you long, but am sorry to find that although more than eight weeks have elapsed, the most important measures as regards the immediate interests of the Pro vince, remain in a state of abeyance, in consequence of the difference of opinion in points which have long been gentle th e f W, two famil • Di tificat of till tificati seein the C the w, vailed to esc offenc admit Doctc their May b XING precal Th nnelan hersel In othi act ()I had b turnip a Mai who, office, and e would this u Insane reluctz Iniser3 bee n r ever tf " suc BY.te a , _ dente been ji 1)0Cto havi ng th at :. 1) 00 40 bower merely cerate. eolumi consid Mad " ,co.i have media pe,rsor rally medic quartet Lower, 43 a Lunati The " skier cc per 44 Can " Week to the We ri e trad e v to eta 8 ° ful house.' out ri; to hum th e nes 1 ) e past most d the you dare tr We silo public, rac e oi are a d which th veni rne th at ge A nu , presentiti r endered terday at Th e I t hat i t With the El the I Node E, Fro m Peareil tl .593/. fur !lian a applie..l4 A seri stood tha another of Ox ox We kppnintv 1 61K 19 t l 'ar'k as I; , S the 1
