RE, Bit NISH PRESS:

LONDON,
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1821.

At a late hour last night we received the Paris
Papers of Tuesday. The Mowiteur contains a Pro-•
clamatiun of General Fhisiorrr, Commander of
the Austrian army of Italy. preparatory to the
passage of the Po. This document, which is dat-
ed Padua, the 4th instant. fully refutes the reports
stating that the passage of that river had actually
taken place.—The Funds hays risen. The Five
per Cent. Consuls are 84 f. 's3' c. Bank Ac-
tions, 1,300 f.

A Flanders mail arrived last night with papers
from Brus.elr to the 20iii instant. They contain
no intelligence of any interest.

The Earl of DONOUGHMORE has 6zed the Bth
of March for the Catholic Question in the Houpe
of Lords. A new KING and an unpledged Par—
liament were noticed by the Noble Earl as two
new circumstances to its favour.

It is, we think, much to be lamented as an event
eir. evil augury to the liberties of the people, that
the House of Commons should, on a review of the
military outrage recently perpetrated at kiltuain-
ham by the command of the High Sheriff of the
County of Dublin, determine that it was not a
case to justify parliamentary interference. The de-
cision too is the more to be lamented, as the matter
was brought before Parliament upon a Petition
couched in the most moderate terms, and by a
noblemau whose speech was not less distinguished
iyr a sound and temperate judgment, thaw by its
titirit and eloquence. No preteuce, therefore, was
iffered, that the House of Commons, in taking Cie
"otter into their more immediate consideration,
would he ministering to political or personal vio-
lence, or gratifying the indulgence of private ran-
cour. The Petitioners, and the Noble Lord who
brought them before the House. could have been
influenced by no other feelings than a desire to
check a system that is but too common in Ireland,
which unfortunately in one memorable case has
beta too successfully introduced in practice in
England. and which, if not reprobated and dis-
countenanced. may spread its baleful influence
over every part of the empire. Mr. GRANT'S
answer to Lord Joint Rummel; speech, although
it offered, as we freely admit, a very sufficient ex-
cuse fur the Irish Government in the conduct
pursued on the occasion by Lord TALBOT Slltl
the Right Hon. Secretary, yet it strengthened,
in pond of fact. the arguments urged by the
Noble Mover in favour of parliamentary
in-
quiry. Mr. GRaIIT utaterved, that there were
contradictory and conflicting statements. This
circumstance .was undoulnedly sufficient excuse
fur the Government not to interfere by the re-
moval, punishment, or approbation of the She-
rift; but it furnished a more urgent cause for in-
Miuister• soy, " Let the Petitiopers
have recourse to a Court of Law if they conceive'
themselves to be ageritved ;" but Cbll any elan
