Members who were then in the House, to re ,:,•.arq discussion of a different subject, and should therefore 7 e, as an amendment, that the House do adjourn. 1 1Fonversation of some length then took place, in the course r ut, which .. it was observed by Mr. S. RICE, that if any mate al...,erations were intended—alterations, perhaps, affecting the principle of the measure itself—it would be better at once re 'Tull it, and bring forward an entirely new Bill. h.' t r. GOULBURN declared, that he had no wish to press tnotion against the inclination of the House, but he had ne ver known an instance where the committal of a Bill was pro rse -I .p r ofbrnia,_and with an understanding that nothing should re , e n g a ir . led beyond a few corrections, the question being in all Lion as fully open on the recommittal, that such a proposi- Mshould benpposed. o 5 .

It would seem that the French Govern ment have at length issued orders for the Spanish Refugees to quit the frontier towns and proceed into the interior of France. The principal cause of complaint against the French Government on the part of Spain being thus removed, it is ex pected there will now be no interruption to the peaceable relations subsisting between the two countries. The following are extracts : PARIS, JUNE 18.—It is now announced that the departure of General Donnadieu for the Cordon Sanitaire, which was to take place immediately, has been again countermanded.— ( Constitutionnel.) JUNE 19.—( Eleven o'clock at night.)—We have this in stant received certain intelligence of the arrest of General Bar ton, and two of his suite, at a farm near Saumur, where they had been concealed. They were conducted under a sufficient escort to the prison of the eitadel.—( Quotidienne.) There has been published at Petersburgh, a statement of the situation of the troops concentrated by Russia in her Southern Provinces, whence it results that the first Russian army is 140,000 men strong, and the second 260,000.—The artillery has 2000 pieces of cannon—the whole arm of grenadiers is esti- mated at 60,000 men, and that of hussars at 35,000.—The other corps of cavalry are proportionally effective. The Polish army must besides put itself in motion immediately after the opening of the campaign. SMYRNA, MAY 9.—The news from Scio came down to the 6th of this month. The Capitan Pacha had sent Deputies to Samos to offer pardon to the inhabitants. The number of in habitants'of Scio who took refuge at ipsara and Hydra, are stated at from 12 to 15,000. The Greeks had conveyed to this last island Prince Logotheti in chains ; he was to be transport. ed thence to the Morea, to be tried for having transgressed the orders or instructions of the Government of the Morea. Thirty Greek Insurgent vessels were in the waters of the Scio ; the Turkish squadron expected a new division from Constantinople. There prevails great agitation on the seas. No other houses are standing in the town of Scio, but those of the agents of European nations. FRENCH FUNDS.-JUNE 19. Five per Cents. Closed at 9l f. c. Bank Stock ~..1627 f. 50 c.

PETERSBINIGH, MAY 25.—There are a multitude of Eng lish Officers in the train of artillery of the grand Turkish army of the Danube. A Russian Journal, published at Moscow, says, on this subject, that it is incredible that the subjects of one of the most civilised nations of Europe should be in the pay of so barbarous a people.—( Ilambitrs,rit Gazette.) ( Extract from a Private Letter.) _ BAYONNE, JUNE 14.—Almost all the Spanish Royalists who have taken refuge in our town have received orders to re pair to Auch. 'We have only here the General of the Ca puchins and two Brothers, and General Abrio. General Eguis, on account of his great age and his infirmities, has also obtained permission to remain. Notwithstanding this measure, which marks the desire of the French Government to main tain peace, our merchants daily receive from their correspond ents of Spain, orders to stop all commercial undertakings by sea and land. They write from Valencia that the 00 insur gent artillerymen were directed by the Baron de Las Liores. It is said that General Elio blew out his brains. This news is not probable.—( Journal des Debats.) Nu REMBERG, JUNE 6.—The affair in the East can scarcely be terminated without a considerable crisis for the Turkish Empire. If the Greeks recover at length their independence, at least in the provinces where they form the majority of the in habitants, the Turkish Empire will be not a little shaken : if the latter power succeed in subjecting, by degrees, the provinces which are in a state of insurrection, the result will be a war of ex termination against the men, and a general slavery for the women and children, according to the barbarous usages of that country, and the Cross will disappear in these countries con verted into deserts. But it is impossible for civilised Europe to suffer on its territory such an organised system of cruelty, at least from what we are authorised to believe of the Holy Al liance, by which the principles of Christian morality are equally applied to nations and to Monarchs. In that case the Turkish Government will be obliged to give a guarantee for the observ ance of Treaties, and of the principles of the law of nations in Europe. But is it sincere enough for that? can it, with the best intentions as to furni s hi ng suc h a guarantee, secure itself 1 or the Greeks against the fury of the hordes of plunderers and assassins who crowd to its aid ? This is not at all probable ; for who does not know how weak despotism is under extraordi nary circumstances ? Anarchy, at length, in a part of Europe, would necessarily lead to the interference of the European Powers, and to indispensable changes, the period of which can only be fixed by the decrees of Providence. A uGSBURG, TU NE 11.—The Universal Gazette contains an article from Marseilles of 30th May, which states, on the authority of letters from Corfu, that Napoli di Romania, one of the largest fortresse s i n th e M orea, h as f a ll en i nto the hands of the Greeks. The same letters renew the report mentioned in some of the Journals, of a naval victory having been ob tained by the Greeks over the Turks. The Greek fleet, they say, attacked the Turks between Scio and Ypsara, destroyed all their transports, and put the rest of th e squa d ron to fli g h t . JUNE 13.—We have received letters direct from Petersburg, announcing that the Emperor, after having reviewed the Guards at Minsk, will p rocee d di rect to Mohilow,'the head quarters of the Army of the West. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, JUNE 14.—Letters from Trieste an. flounce, that the Egyptian troops who had been landed on the Isle of Candia have been completely defeated, and forced to re-embark with the utmost precipitation. German Papers have also arrived. The only article of importance they contain is dated Corfu, May 2, in which it is stated that Martial Law, which had been proclaimed in the lonian Islands, has been repealed. It adds, however, that Spe cial Commissioners have been appointed to decide on the punishment to be inflicted on those who take or have taken part in the Greek cause, frOm whose decision there shall be no appeal. A Mail from Holland arrived yesterday.—The States General having rejected the Finance Pro ject submitted to them, the KING has sent an angry message, in which he informs them that in consequence of their refusal he finds it necessary to add a capital sum of 57,500,000 florin to the actual debt, which will produce in the Budget a new annual burden of 1,725,000. The Dutch papers are almost entirely filled with the ac counts of the excesses committed by the Turks in Thessaly ; but they relate altogether to those affairs the detail of which we have already published. - The private letters from Paris this morning confirm the marching of troops in all directions for the frontiers of Spain : it is supposed at Paris that this army is assembled only for the purpose of preventing the revolutionary principle:, of the Spaniards from getting into the South of France. The following is an abstract of a letter, dated the beginning of April, from Rio Janeiro : The country is tranquil, and the Bank stands pretty well in the estimation of the merchants. Confidence is gradually becoming restored, and business has improved a little since the departure of the troops. Any serious misunderstanding with Portugal we do rot apprehend, and the circumstance of this country having an acknowledged heir to the Throne at the head of the Go; - ernment, gives us strong confidence of our future prosperity ; those changes which have occurred in the Spanish revolutionized provinces are not likely to influence this country, as the Prince is always referred to in any proposed change of system ; he forms a centre of attraction, to which things will ultimately gravitate, and preserve* consistency in the measures of Government, which has been acknowledged in the pro vince." Though we are at all times averse to the disgusting practice of egotism, yet we have obvi ously a right to take some credit to ourselves for having, through the medium of most valuable Correspondents, as well as by our own exertions, manifested a firm and conspicuous consistency in supporting our admirable Establishment in Church and State, against the attempts to re store POPERY to political power in this Protest ant Empire.—The fate of the Roman Catholic Peers' Bill, which was rejected last night in the House of Lords, by a majority of 42, justifies the confidence with which all the members of our orthodox Church looked towards the hereditary Counsellors of the State, for a due maintenance of the British Constitution, political and ecclesias tical, against the return of a Power which would deem it an act of religious duty to effect the total demolition of that system of Government to which we owe all our greatness and security. Before we conclude with expressing our sincere congra tulation to the Protestant community for this happy result, we ought to pay due homage to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, as the head of the Admi nistration, for the firmness and zeal which he has displayed in the sacred cause of our Reli gion; to our truly venerable LoItD CJIAN CELLOR for his unshaken perseverance in the same righteous cause; and to Lord COI, CHESTER, who so resolutely resisted the inroad, of POPERY while he was in the House of Com mons, and who, according to report, considered it as his duty to return from the Continent, on purpose to prove that he is equally steady in ma nifesting his attachment to the Constitution which our Ancestors bequeathed, under a full convic tion that it would never again be exposed to the pretended infallibility of the Roman Pontiff, and the fanaticism of his followers. Let all possible indulgence and protection be given to the Ro man Catholics in their religious worship, but let them refrain from the practice of Proselytism, and let them never again be invested with political authority. We have received from the Committee, so laudably employed at the City of London Tavern for the purpose of procuring subscriptions for the relief of the Peasantry of Ireland, a very inte resting Statement of the distress which prevails in several districts of that country, communicated by the most respectable authorities. We have already inserted the introduction to this State ment from the Committee, and the notice from the Honorary Secretary, Mr. M. W. TROY, and we hope on Monday to be able to insert the Statement. In the mean time it is highly grati fying to know that the Committee are proceed ing with unwearied zeal in their meritorious labours, which have already been attended with beneficial effects, and which promise the most encouraging success. We feel great pleasure in announcing to our clerical Readers the appointment of the Rev. A. NICHOL, of Baliol College, Oxford, to the Hebrew Professorship, and the Canonry of Christ Church, annexed, in that University, an appoint ment not less creditable to the learned individual thus promoted, than honourable to the judgment and liberality of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, who, not only in the present instance, but many others, has selected for the highest dignities of the Church, profound scholars, and men of estimable private character, who have been known to him only by, academical proofs of superior talents, and unwearied industry in literary and theological studies. Mr. NICIIOL, ice are assured by unquestionable authority, is inti mately acquainted with most of the Eastern lan guages, independently of his profound know ledge of the Hebrew and classical tongues, and that his sole recommendation to the patronage of Lord LIVERPOOL has been his reputation► in the University as a scholar, and his eminently useful labours in cataloguing the Eastern Manuscripts. Nearly the whole of Lord GUILDFORD'S Profes sors in the lonian Islands have studied under Mr. NICIIOL. While it is gratifying to our patriotic pride to know that this country can boast of such ornaments of literature, it is no less so to find that we have a Statesman who can disregard po litical interests, when he has an opportunity of affording protection to talents, knowledge, and virtue. RussiA.--From a report which has just been published at Petersburgh, on the extent, popula tion, commerce and manufactures, &c. of the Rus sian Empire, it appears that the fifty Govern ments of Russia contain 298,950 geographical square miles, peopled by 40,670,000 souls.— There are in the Empire 3,724 manufacturing establishments. The capital employed in Com merce (as affirmed by the merchants) amounts to 319,660,000 roubles. The revenues accruing from the poll tax, and the imposts upon wine, spirits and malt liquor, are 169,350,000 roubles. Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mili tary business with the KING.—The Princess SO. PliIA visited the KING yesterday. VISIT OF His MAJESTY TO SCOTLAND.—IES MAJESTY has determined, we understand, from authority on which we place reliance, that at the latter end of next month he will make his pro mised visit to Scotland. The KING purposes to leave London immediately after the prorogation of Parliament, which it is now calculated will take place in the last week of July. His MA JESTY remains in England till the prorogation, as he will prorogue the Parliament in person.— The KING, on his visit to Scotland, will proceed to the Palace of llolyrood House : to make the requisite preparations for his MAJESTY'S recep tion, directions have already been sent. Several other places will be visited ; and his MAJESTY will sojourn, for short periods, at three or four of the most distinguished Noblemen's seats.—The determination of his MAJESTY to make the long desired and much-talked-of visit to Scotland was yesterday spoken of in the fashionable circles ; and it was the subject of much conversation in the evening amongst the Northern Members in the House of Commons, and behind the Bar of the House of Lords.—(Morning Paper.) AFFAIR OF THE SWAIILO W.—A letter from Gibraltar of the 30th ult. states, that Mr. DOUGLAS, the British Consul at Tangier, in con sequence of instructions from Lord BATHURST, has applied to the Emperor of Moitocco to de mand satisfaction for the affair of the Swallow, but that the Emperor had evaded the demand by declaring that the rebellion which then existed in a great part of his dominions rendered inquiry impossible. It will be recollected, that the Swallow, a' merchant vessel, sailed from Gibraltar for Oran on the 21st of June, 1821, and being becalmed near Melilla, was taken possession of by three Moorish armed boats, on the Ist of Au gust, and broken up. The master and two of the crew were made prisoners. HAY-MARKET.—The translated Play of The Stranger introduced Mrs. CLIFFORD last night at this Theatre, in the character of Mrs. Haller. Mrs. CLIFFORD, it seems, has acquired reputa tion on provincial boards, and her performance on this occasion justifies her transfer to the Lon,. don Stage. Her figure is well calculated for the Stage ; and her face is capable of varied expres sion. She gave an interesting personation to the part altogether, and received much applause.— Mr. C. KEMBLE rendered full justice to the part of The Stranger ; and the Play on the whole was brought forward in a manner creditable to the Theatre, HIS MAJESTY'S BALL GENTRY. On Thursday evening his MAJESTY gave his Annual Ball and Supper to the juvenile branches of the Nobi lity and Gentry. In order to avoid any restraint on the occa sion, all State observances were dispensed with. The male part of the company appeared for the most part in the Windsor uni form, in which his MAJESTY himself was dressed. The only appearance of State was on the part of the servants, who were all most superbly attired. The entertainment was given in the lower suite of rooms, which are considerably longer than the state rooms, the Gothic room and the room adjoining it at the west end of the Palace. which were first opened for the entertainment of the Emperor of Russia, being added to the general building of the Palace. At the east end of the suite of rooms is the admirable conser vatory, distinct from the Palace, extending in the gardens as far as the back of Sir Walter Stirling's house in Pall-mall, and Iron this occasion it was brilliantly illuminated with va riegated lamps, patent lamps, and chinese lanterns. At the upper end a pyramid circle of most choice growing flowers anti plant was formed, but leaving a perfect view of the stained glass at the end of the royal arms, &c. On each side refresh ments were provided ; on one side was tea, negus, &c. and on the other was choice fruits, confectionery, ices, &c. The floor of the dining room, adjoining the conservatory, was chalked with fanciful and appropriate devices. The whole of the ex tensive suite of rooms were perfumed with fragrant flowers from the Royal Gardens at Kew, &c., and were brilliantly il luminated with wax lights. His Majesty, with a due regard to the early habits of his juvenile visitors, invited them at the early hour of half-past eight o'clock. They began to arrive soon after eight, accom panied by their parents, with excessive joy and delight beam ing on all their countenances. Their dresses were all new for the occasion. The young Ladies fanciful frocks ; the young Gentlemen short blue coats or jackets, anti generally white trowsers. His Majesty received them upon their arrival in his usual kind, elegant, and affectionate manner. The dancing commenced %with much joy, and continued till near twelve, when the Gothic and adjoining rooms were opened for supper. His Majesty was seated in the midst of his juvenile visitors, and appeared highly delighted on the occasion. After supper some waltzes were danced by the parents • and about a quarter past one the company broke up, gratified be yond expression at the generous reception and elegant enter tainment they had experienced.

WEYMOUTH, JUNE 19.—0 n Monday last arrived the Counters of Liverpool, Post-office Packet, R. WHITE, Mas ter, with mails and passengers from the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. The Tide Surveyor and his boat's crew, in search ing the above vessel, found concealed in the cable tier 401bs. of tobacco, in consequence of which the packet is detained, much to the injury of its Commander; and the mate, steward, and six of the crew besides, are committed to Dorchester gaol. There is no doubt but one or more of those men were aware, that in endeavouring to bring over this tobacco, they were of fending against the laws of their country ; but under the exist ing circumstances of their situation, we hope they will receive the clemency of his Majesty's Government, when it is taken into consideration, that according to the present regulations their pay and allowances do not exceed 10s. Gd. a week, out of which they have to keep themselves on board, and maintain their families ashore. It is therefore to be hoped that his Ma jesty's Postmaster-General will be graciously pleased to place them on a footing with the merchant or other service, so that there may be no excuse for committing such an illegal act in future, in which case they would justly merit the most severe penalties of the law ; but on the present occasion we hope a mitigation of punishment will be extended towards them. GRAND SHIP LAUNCH AT WOOLWICH. Yesterday being appointed for the launching the grand ship Winchester, a 60-gun ship, the town of Woolwich was, from a very early hour, thronged by fashionable visitors, &c. who were attracted to the spot to witness the ceremony; and the place, during the whole of the day, presented a scene of gaiety and animation. The River was completely thronged with sailing and other boats, containing parties of Ladies and Gentlemen ; and the various ships and craft on the River hoisted the Union jack, and tiring of cannon, ringing of bells, and the general rejoicing of the populace seemed to announce the com pletion of a glorious victory, more than for that which they had assembled to view; and on the whole, the scene may be more easily conceived than described. The whole being arranged, every preparation was made for the christening of theNebip, which ceremony was to be performed by Lady COCKW&RNE, the Lady of Sir JAMES, and at about half-past one o'clock the shipwrights commenced their difficult task in re. moving the blocks which fastened the immense structure to the cradle, and while this office was being executed, the greatest curiosity was excited. Numbers of the Nobi lity and Gentry went on board to inspect the interior of the ship, which is of a peculiar construction. When the men had nearly concluded their labours in removing the blocks, Lady Cockburne, supported on the arms of Sir James and 31r. Cunninghame, the Chief Commissioner, was conducted to the stern of the ship, followed by a number of Ladies and Gentle men, when her Ladyship performed the office of christening.— The blocks being removed soon after, loud cheers announced the launch, anti the immense building gradually moved to its destination. Several of the nobility and gentry afterwards went on board, and the company gradually dispersed, highly gratified at the pleasing sight they had witnessed. Lieut.-General Sir Samuel Auchmuty has left his seat at Syndale House, in this county, for Ireland, in order to assume the Command in Chief of that part of the United Kingdom, on the 24th instant, in the room of General Sir David Baird, whose period of service is expired. Sir Samuel bears with him the good wishes of all during his temporary absence, but especially of the poorer classes in the vicinity of his residence....
