To 0:1; Right lion. the EARL ofLI VERPUOL. MY LORD-lit the Speech of the Right lion. IVALLAcE upon the Timber Trade, a 3 re ported in The Tunes of Friday last, that Gentle man is stated to have said, that the question was " a question of Shipping and little else : that it " had been said, and truly said, that our Ships '" and our Sailors were to a great extent o , .it of " employ, but there was nothing irregular in that " circumstance ;" and that he " would not con " sent to take up a thousand ships, and send 44 them upon a voyage round the world merely to cut out subsistence for the seafaring classes; " and yet neither of those acts would be more " absurd or mo?e extravagant than the contirnued " maintenance of a useless trade, merely because " it gave employ to particular indiLiduals,'."--- " Could it be shewn that the maintenance of " such a quantity of Shipping was necessary " to the security of the country, he would desist " from opposing it ; but. - he saw nothing in the " present state of Europe to call for unprece " dented preparation on the part of Great Bri " tain, and our Shipping strength at the present " moment greatly exceeded the strength of 1792 "or that of 1802. We had .now. many new " Ships, and 50,000 more Sailors than formed cc our establishments in the ye . ar 1792, a period " immediately previous to the greatest naval' " exertion that had ever been made by the " Country." The great object, therefore, of , the change which Mr. WALLACE recommends to be made in. the duties on timber,- appears to be to reduce the number of our ships and seamen.. 31y attention having been , drawn to this sub ject by the numerous articles respecting it, lehich hare appeared in the daily papers, I have mg since heen made sensible that such must be the effect of any change of duty on timber less en ceuraging to our North American Colonies than these at present existing ; (and am equally per suaded that similar consequences must result fre'rn the relaxation or the Navigation Laws, as proposed by Mr. WALLACE at the close of the la .et Session;) but had no conception that Mr. Vie.ttece, or any British Statesman, could have formed the opinion that it was desirable to pass an Act, with the express view of reducing the zenber of our seamen. What, my Lord, I ask, must be the cense qtence to the thousands of these poor mete who :till be thrown out of employment ? Must they no: either become a burt%en upon the poor-rates, c,r emigrate, or starve ? for, as to their finding employment in the increased Baltic trade which ie to ensue, of which Mr. WALLAXE has a no " doubt that British ships will have their share," it is out of the question; and so every man must feel it to be, who knows that the greatest part of the trade about to be torn from the Colonies be given to Norway, in which trade scarcely any but Norway ships and seamen are employed. My Lord, the Statute introduced into Parlia ment by your Noble father, for " the further in " -cteare. of Shipping and Navigation," and which hak immortalized his name, sets out with the declaration that " the wealth. and strength of " this kingdom, and the prosperity and safety of " every part of the British Empire, greatly de " pend on the encouragement given to Shipping , " and Navigation ;" and I call upon your Lord ship, with the most anxious feelings, to maintain that sentiment it the present moment. Delay that duty but until the recommendation of the i Select Committee on " Foreign Trade" shall have been acted upon, and your Lordship will fed, when too late, that the wealth, strength, prosperity, and safety of the British Empire are gone for ever. A BRITISH SEA>IAN, "flit lONIAN IsLANns.-- 7 -The following is an Extract of a Letter, dated Corfu, the act of March:—" Lord GUILDFORD arrived here a few days ago from Malta, on his way to Ithaca, where the ronian University is to be establkhed under his direction and patronage. A great ,and very 'general interest has been recently excited in this country, in consequence of the sentence pro •nO.-.lnted by an Extraordinary Commission on th c richest landed proprietor in-the Island of Zante ; a rran- of r.Tar!y 70 years of age; who had been i•: , pt for six ;nonths in close confinement in the citrsde . ; f 'Corfu. By that sentence he has been -conderrned te:elve years' confinement in any of the Islands of the .Mediterranean subject tol his IVIA3 ;STY, at the pleasure of the Lord High Comthissioner, to degradation from the Nobility, and to all costs. He was brought to trial for crimes against the State ; but he re fused to defend himself, declaring his innocence, and stating that he had forwardQd a reclamation to his Britannic Majesty, the Sovereign Protector, and protesting against the competency of the tri bunal. The sentence,. however, was pasied, and he was' forthwi It embarked, by order of General Maitland, for the - fortress of Santa Maura. The act of accusation, as furnished to the accused before the. trial, charged him with having been a principal actor •in the events which took place in the- Isle .of Zante during. the month of July last, in Sculicado, and in other neighbouring , 'villages."---We understand that the son. of the • above-mentioned accused person, M. Valterra Martinengo, who was entrusted with the recla mation, has lately arrived in this country, and has been presented to Lard Bathurst, CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION. Mit. EDlTort.—" Perhaps it may not be diffi cult to make them take, as the general standard of their new institutions, not the wild, monstrous, untried, unknown Spa nish Constitution, bat the admirable, the proved, and the. ef fective BRITISH CSTITUTION."—Such was the language of " The New Times " of the 28th ult. I shall not subjoin any remark upon theepithets applied to the Spanish Constitu tion ; but I must observe that the Spanish Constitution is a Catholic Constitution, and that one duty enjoined in the oath imposed upon the King of Spain. is, " not to tolerate any other Religion than the Catholic in that country."—lf to this obser vation it is replied, that the oath is enjoined in a Catholic country, and, that being the case, it justifies the spirit of the enactment altogether ; that it is absurd to consider the danger as attendant upon the admission of the Papists into the British Legislature, that the fangs of that intolerant spirit of the Ca tholic Religion, which formerly persecuted this Nation, have been extracted by modern philosophy, I affirm that Mr. PLUN• KETT'S Bills are a decisive contradiction to that liberal idea ; because, if the intrusion. of the Catholics into the British Go vernment were not pregnant with destruction to the Protestant Ascendancy, and theConatitution and the spirit of their Religion were smothered, why are specious provisions to be made in these Bills to prevent their displaying the genuine tendency of the Catholic Religion, which will ever be at work in secret ? and why, instead of these fictitious safeguards for the Protestants, have not the Catholics been called upon to renounce their sub jection to the Decrees of Roman Catholic Councils, which re late to the extirpatiiiA of heresy, and have never been repealed, and the spirit to enforce them remains unabated in the heart of the Catholic to the present day ? In a former communica tion you presented: your Readers with an accurate account of the Decrees to which I allude, and therefore. I shall only refer them to a reperusal of those Decrees, and not delay to refute the ridiculous statement, that the Catholic of a foreign country and the Catholic of this are two different religionists. I desire chiefly to observe, that the Protestant Constitution is that which the " New Timei"" justly stales. to be " the admirable, the proved, and the effective Constitution."—Yet this Constitu tion is to be betrayed into the power of the Catholics, with the Spanish Constitution contrasted With it, without one murmur from this courtly admirer, and with a resignation, not the result of a just conviction that it will be for the best, but the result of an apathy and insensibility that can only be the destitution of principle. However, these silent spectators will, I trust, ere long, perceive that,there is a storm gathering for the annihila tion of the Protestant Constitution, which the well-wishers to the present Protestant Ascendancy can only avert by a timely and decisive opposition. That : this opposition must be speedy and resolute, the policy adopted by the present Government glaringly exposes, because when the Catholics are in power, and they shall begin to repeal laws which were passed for the security of Protestantism with toleration to Catholicism, and. when, on this , account, this sacrificed country shall rise up against this treachery and persecution, the Catho lic Government will then resort to the standing army; and the point of the bayonet will be effectual one way or other. Either the Catholic laws must be obeyed, or Protestant subjects perish, _ . But let us still hop.: that this Protestant Empire is not yet aban doned by our Minister ; because if it is, soon, very soon in deed, will the Minister find public opinion. not that which most assuredly he at present considers it to be. Of late years there has been much disaffection, I should say discontent. and die- turbance in this country, and I cannot now intrude upon you to state their source otherwise than by saying, that it was the consequence of indecision, for are we not betrayed and fall ing victims, not to disafEtion, disloyalty, or revolutionists in the people, but to the very loyalty and patriotism ofthe country? Certainly serious tumult did lately exist in England, and in a communication of this kind it cannot be expected that every point of the subject upon which I write can be embraced ; such duty must be left, and is assigned to the historian. Therefore I only add, that the nation did then support the Minister in his measures, as a temporary protection from the assaults to which the Constitution had been exposed. To. this cause is solely and justly to be attributed. the majorities in the House of Commons which the Minister has had so fre_ quently in Ma favour. But the protection the State then re quired is removed, and to another still stronger must the coon• try resort, not by supporting the advocates for the admission of the Papists into the Lei,-islature, but by upholding vigorously the Defenders of the Protestant Faith, in the support and maintenance of the present Established Constitution. It will, by and bye, be found that they who are styled Ministerialists generally, but who do honestly desire an improvement in one branch of the Legislature, will not be the sycophantic defmdcrs of any man, or set of men, who endeavour to undermine the foundation and destroy the principle of our Constitution by innovations upon its present formation, The national principles of Englishmen will remain firm to the last moment of their power in the support and defence of the Protestant Constitution,. and the Minister, whomsoever he may be, that supports Popish influence, will flail himself ere tong not so stable in his situation as he may think, and a per- feet outcast in the favourable opinion of a majority of the coun try. I shall conclude with a very fvw further observations. Let me. ask, why are not the Dissenters to enjoy those privi leges also, which the Catholics claim as a right ? It requires.no argument or subtle reasoning to point out the inconsistency and treachery of an advocation for the admission of Papists to rule a Protestant Nation, and the Opposition to a restoration of the rights of Protestant Subjects. Yet this is the effect of the pre- sent Representative System in the House of Commons; it is the result of the present Election System ; and they who in de- siring Emancipation from the notorious Borough Systeni, in fact from bribery and corruption, and are nevertheless also ad vocates for the Papists being invested with power in the State, cannot be aware that it will have been by these means that the. Papists will have succeeded, and that it will be their interest to continue the same degrading system to keep thcmselv,:s in, when they shall once have entered, Parliament. That it was by this system alone that the Catholics could get into the House of Commons ; and to this. may be attributed almost exclu.sively the of the modern Whig Interests m opposing every measure that oourd eact the Emancipation of the Protestants from the usurpation of their just rielts and privileges.

Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday confirm. the accounts of the completion of the counter revolutions in Naples and Piedmont. As soon as the news of General PEpo's defeat was re ,ceived, the PfttscE REGENT communicated it to .the Parliament, who adopted the resolution of sending an Address of Submission to the Kamo, General FARDELLN, the bearer of it to his MA JESTY, left Florence on the 19th, with a letter addressed to Hls ROYAL . Illoitsess. The army of CARASCOSA, ls 4 avoid being cut off by the Aus trian force from the Abruzzi, which threatened , I him in flank, had abandoned the entrenched camp of Magna= and. the line of the Garioliano, and to retire to Capua.---The French five per cents. left off on Thursday at 81 f. 25 c., and on Friday they are said to have closed at 80 1. 90 c. NAPLES, MARCH 14. Within these four days, says the journal called The Voce del Secolo, great events have occurred in this kingdom. We abstain from all commen tary ; it would be too painful to make it.. Yesterday we received a second bulletin from General William Pepe, dated Castel di Sangro, twenty leagues from this capital.—lt is as fol- :OWS " The corps commanded by General Pepe was chiefly composed of legionaries and provisional militia, who were hastily assembled on the first announcement of the movements of the Austrian troops, and who never believed the war in which we were engaged. " With this corps General Pepe had• to• guard the valley of Rovelo, Tagliacozzo, Autroduco, Leonessa, and the Tronto. Tile enemy appear ed in force in the neighbourhood of Civita Du cale. Among the courses which General Pepe had it in his power to follow, the most prudent was to debouche frorahis position, and to attempt an extensilie-re-46avoissance. - On the morning of the ith he attacked the enemy near Rieti, and at the same time. directed an attack to be made near Leonessa by three battalions. The national troops, and particularly those of the line, drove back the enemy with the greatest bravery. A demi battalion of the Capitanata distinguished it self iu the first line, as did a demi battalion of the 3d , light infantry. " In vain did the enemy employ all his caval ry in the plain of Rieti, our sharpshooters hand l'ed the hussars severely, and killed a great number of them, including some superior officers. cc After a warm fire had continued for seven hours, the enemy brought up fresh .reinforce ments. His numbers soon became very superior to ours. The General ordered a retreat, which was effected without any of our troops receiving either a musket shot or sabre cat. But the ene my advanced ; the fire of his artillery threw into disorder the second line of our militia, ,Who, per.: ceving that the troops compo:,ing the firA line were retreating, believed the corps defeated which they had so bravely sustained for seven hours under the hottest fire. lany of the battalion of militia dispered. " The enemy, surprised it the courage our troops had opposed to them, did not venture to advance on any 'Point; but having learned fro spies the disordL:r which had taken place, I seized the propitious moment, and tried wit large masses to force the passage of Antroduco This defile was defended with extreme vaio by the brave General Russo, whose troops lon well ; but our troops were overcome by numbers, ' and the defile was carried.. General Pepe then moved his head-quarters to Sulmona, and on the 11th to Castel di Sangro, where he intends to recompose his corps, and to present to the-enemy that resistance which he ought to expect from Neapolitan• soldiers, when recovered from a first surprise. This, carps will be reorganized, and will be rendered worthy of the esteem of the enemy and the nation." The journal adds to this bulletin, that General Pepe has displayed all the coolness and• bravery , of a veteraw. We arc, however, assured that Ire is this day expected in the capital, and that he 's replaced in his command by General Filangieii. It was yesterday announced that the army of the centre and that of the left, in wisich are many troops of the line, are tranquil in their cantotunenta;. but it is at the slime time stated that the Prince Regent had gone to the head cluarters of the first corps of the army ; that he found every thing there in. good order, and that General Cara.scosa was maneuvering with his well-known ability to support the second' corps. It is added, that Marshal Verdinosi, whose .column. had sustained no loss, was in: the pros - ince of Chiti, and that he would e►rrbarrass the enemy by manoeuvring on his flanks. We learn to-day that a , Council of War, pre 'sided by - the Prince Regent, had been held at Capua. On_ the. breaking up of the Council the Prince Regent sent Lieut.-Gen. Florence on a mission to the King. MILAN, MAncn 21. General Fardella, who was dispatched by the Duke of Calabria to the King of Naples, left Florence on the 19th, to return to Naples with a letter addressed to his Hoyal Highness. NAPLES, 24.f.s.Rcii [EMTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] cc O❑ the 9th the Austrians advanced and at. tacked the position which covered Aquila. It appears- that they met with no resistance, as all lied at their approach ;- and even the- defiles of Antroduco, where a few metr would have sufficed to arrest the progress of a whole corps of the enemy, were abandoned. The militia and le gionary troops lied from their colours. At length the whole army of General Pepe disappeared, : And he arrived alone at Castel di Sangre.. " It is said that the runaways having com mitted some excesses in the places through which they passed, the City of Sulmona closed its gates against them.: The army of Carascosa, which found itself in danger or being. cut off,bas received orders to abandon the entrenched camp of Mag nano and the line of the Garigliano, and to retire to Capu:a by that of the Volturno. " As soon as the mews of this defeat was re ceived, the Prince Regent communicated it to the Parliament, who adopted the resolution of sending an Address of submission to the King. It has been carried by General Fardella, Aide de-Camp to the Duke of Calabria. " Orders have been. issued" for recalling part of the troops to Naples, for the purpose of pre serving the tranquillity of the city.. " There remains here no symptom of agita tion; the Royal Family have abandoned the pro ject of going to Messina, and vwill remain here." PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. ILOUSE OT COMMONS.
