The opinion pronounced by the English At torney General on this most vital and important question, has given very great dissatisfaction in this country. It proceeds entirely upon false assumptions - ; but as the Case drawn up by the Crown Solicitor contains many misquotations of Acts of Parliament (not excepting.the Act of Union itself), omits others which bear directly upon the question atissue, and as a Lawyer generally gives his decision upon the facts and circumstances as they appear ex fade of the paper beforqtini, it would not have surprised us if a Professional Gentleman of greater abili ties and much longer standing than Sir Robert Gifford had been led.to pronounce an. opinion quite as contrary to instice and common sense, - as the one which (with the Case itself) we are now about to consider. The Solicitor in preparing his case, occupies no fewer than six folio pages With extracts:Apra English-Acts of Parliament 'Made rrtuttu. to the 4.ct of Utitor,. the Parliainent of England' being then a LocA't Parliament: Now these Acts of Parlia ment contain regulations which . are contrary to tlk Acts of Union, or are conformable to these enactments, or do not in any way meddle with these enactments.. . If these ' , Rion Acts of Parliament contain regulations which. control, limit; or affect the enactments of the Acts of Union; then .the answer is contamedin the eighth Article of the Acts, of Union; viz. " That all the LaWs at present in force, in either kingilom,which shall be contrary to any of the provisions which may be enacted by any Act for carrying these Articles into ef fect, be, from and after the Union (Ist Jan., 1801) repealed." The above Clause, the Attorney who prepared The Case, and who introduced therein the rnivATE Acts of Pailiament, pru dently thought proper to OMIT. , • Supposing then the Acts made in the Parliament of Eng land, and cited by the English Attorney, to be contrary to the Acts of Union; then the above clause• • from the eighth Article REPEALS such Acts. if. they be repealed, then they are as if they had never been ; and the introduction of them as being instruments in force, especially coupled with the OMISSION of the REPEALING Clause ih the Act of Union, could have no other object than to mislead the great Public Officer whose opinion was sought for as a guide to the Executive Authority. But' s the above Acts, made prior to the Union, be not con-' trary to the Articles of Union, then they must be conformable to the Articles of Union, or they do.not meddle with the Arti , des of Union s+ all. If they be contOrmable to the Articles a nion, then the introduction of theni is at best impertinent, inasmuch as the question must then turn upon terms of the Articles of Union, and upon these terms only. • Again, if these prior Statutes do notmeddle with the Articles of Union at all, then the introduction of them cannot have had any other object than by sonic' article in the mode of introduc jug them, to simulate. for thein, a r elation to th e A r ti c l es o f .Union which they had not, and so to take a chance for mislead-, :ing the King's Attorney-General for.ling,lcuid. But my Lord LiverpoOl in the TreaSUry minute. has stated i n express words, " that no Act passed subsequent to the Act " of Union, should control the decision, but that it should rest on the Act of Union alone ;"—and, thus the English Attor ney employed by my , Lord Liverpool has occupied six folio pages with matter,which mg Lord Liverpool, his employer, has, with art intention's° far consonant to international justice, to tally disclaimed and.declared it " should not control the de cision.' The inisrepresentatioas; however, covered With heaps of rank verbiage from the Statute Book, were taken as proof of holy writ by the attorney-General; and the first sentence in Ml' opinion, runs thus:—" By the EXPRESS WORDS of the Act of Union, &c.. Spirits made in Ireland and imported into Eng " livid are to he deemed British Spirits." Now by " express " words" ought to be understood La EXACT copy of the identi cal words, and neither more mil- less than the identical words, placed exactly in the same arrangeMent, and . in the same grammatical relations. But in looking into the Act.of Union no such sentence as that stated by, the: Attorney General can be found. • The true conclusion in law, therefore, mule by Mr:Attor ney.tleneral, .contains an obvious and "rankfalsehootliin fact . " deem" (according to this profound opinion) "Spirits ‘; made in Ireland-to,be.British Spirits," is to deem that to be true zic LAW - which IN FACT is a gross and impudent false hood. Towards the more accurate state of the question, the- first. step is to state the " express words" them Selves of the Acts of Union—a step by which Mr. Attorney General, for reasons best known to himself, avoids to advance. • The " express words," then, of the Gth Article of the Acts of union areas .follows,:—" All articles the growth, produce, or malaufacttire.of either country (not herein. after enumerated " as subject to specific duties) shall from.thencefortli be im " ported from each Country into Elie other • free from Duty, "V otboitlian such Countervailing'Duties on the.sevmd articles "enumerated-in the Schedules No. 1, A and B, hereunto an " noxed, as are therein specified, or such other Conntervailing " Duties as shall. hereafter be imposed by the authority of the "Parliament of the United Kingdom, in the manner herein " after provided." The abofe parenthesis it is necessary entirely to reject (" not bereinaftermerttioned as subject to specific duties.") This pa renthesis relates to articles contained in Schedule 2, as being for twenty years subject to specific duties. The subject of the pa.: renthesis has nothing to do • with the present question. The first legislative provision then (throwing out tie parenthesis) will stand• thus All Articles the growth, produce, or ma nufacture of either country, shall from thenceforth be import ed from each country into other, duty free, - -(Cork M. r -6utile, Chronicle.) - Yesterday, little Waddington favoured the Lonb MAycia with another, exhibition of his oratory, in the , Justice-room, at the Mansion House. .Ue complained of the. interruption of the attempt made a short tune since to hold a .Meeting at Jacob's Well, for the purpose of con sidering of an Address to the KXNG on the.death of the Qui.:EN ; and delivered a placard to his Lordship containing a notice of another Meeting olthe same kind.

Because the . hope of recompense would thenceforth,,l thought, lie always suspected ; and its imputation would render worthless the noblest abandenments. An instant's reflection undeceived me. • The spirit, . which would refus s e .support to Unconstitutional measures, is the least likely 'to lose our Sove reign's confidence, or to ittfrac: radical genero sity. Worthy men will neither abuse :the One nor accept. the other. . . 'lt will be a signal good. if the varnish 'Of dis interestedness is rubbed off by -the Southwark subscription.. I',,Cannot desire Mr. Wilson to re fuse it.

Therefore, and for all the aforesaid rea sons, I wish the Ex-General to touch the cas`.. —Whether . his military pride has vanished with. his Commission,. I know not.

BA 1"A Pe.AoNS.—i-Yeittertlay Sir BVIN.rP - left the office in Bow street before the usual bout for the purpose-of attending a meeting of the - Craol Committee of Magistrates for Westrninitei% The object of the meeting of this committee -W . as to consult upon the propriety, of causing a new gaol to be erected for WeStminster, instead of . the . Tothill-fields Bridewell, Which is rapidly falling to decay, and is much toil small for the- reception 'of the large number of prisoners whic4, it is now, the melancholy . duty of the magistrates to send there. This prison was built to hold 80' prisoners only, and that' is the number prescribed. by act of Parlianienti but there are now ,up, wards. of: 9..00 within its : walls ; 197.. have been, committed up to Saturday last, and the state of the prisoners must of necessity' be wretched ict the extreme. It is understood•that an applica, tion will, as soon as possible, be made in the proper quarter for leave to build a new 'prison for the liberty of We.stminster. We regret to 'state,. that the other prisons in the county of Middlesex are in a similar condition. In the New Prison at Clerkenwell there are at this moment upwards of 300 prisoners, and the. House of. Correction is almost equally crowded.—(Mbra ing Paper.) cORONER'q INCIVESI.---MELANCHOLY SUICIDE,. —Yesterday . evening an inquest was held before .

He was blest._with every domestic cowl fort, but . for .sonie tine past his intellects a - PL peared deranged.

The quantity, how ever, he .had ; drunk, caused his &attl, and he died about 'four hours afterwards ; alleging •a's his reason for the committal-of the rash act, that he.hadbad differences with his wife, but this tra; totally without foundation. The Jury bin aware of the eccentricities and situation of the deceased, after hearing four witnesses, retnrned • a. verdict of insanity. • D - Cfr.intlNEO Bordeaux: gives the -following singular details of a suicide which lately happened in that city : An ofhcer of the board of health on the 23(1 ult. abruptly quitted his wife after dining with her, passed 'into another apartment, and drank a - vial of laudanum containing '230 grains of opium. lie then, oponed his window .and hailed some peasants, to .Whom he declared that he had poisoned himself. . M refused the assistance of art , which .two of his brother officers, hastened to offer him. The ,medicines which. they administered . against his had nnother - effect than to prolong his pain. Ile was deaf to the intreaties of his relations . tut' :friends. In vain did the Cure sound in his ear the voice of that religion whose duties he .had for many years scrupulously observed, and whose! 'symbols in high mass had received 'his 'pions homage in the morning. Ile pretested' that kie' died in the faith, but that he could not, renoune the resolution of quitting life. He exiiired after twenty hours of agony, and was interred with ' out pomp in the public cemetery.
