PARIS, APRIL 18.
An estate in the deprirement of the Gironde, which was corific-
cated as belonging to 31. Simeon Leris, a deported Priest, was sold
on 14th Germinal, in the year 3, to M. Azeredo. M. S. Leris re-
turned to France and resided at Bordeaux, where he died in De-
cember last. He made no representations after his return to com-
plain of the sale of the estate. Scarcely has he dosed his eyes
when his nephew and son. M. Leris, Judge in the Tribunal of
the First Instance at Bordeaux, applies to the Prefect of the
Gironde, desiring to have the eats declared null as illegaL This
magistrate pretends that his uncle, before dying, expressly conjured
him to make his demand, which he supports on this pound, among
others, that the sale was made to the prejudice of Simon been, not
of Simeon Leda, whence, says he, there is, in the proces verbal
of the sale a misnomer, and consequently a radical defect.

The adjourned debate on the Roman Catholic Relief
Bill was resumed last night, and continued with great
animation till three o'clock this morning, when the House
became too impatirnt to suffer the debate to be fur-
ther prolonged, and the division was called for. The
numbers were-268 for the second reading of the Bill,
land 241 against it. By a majority of 27, the principle of
this important measure has been sanctioned by the Lower
House of Parliament. It yet remains to be seen whether
the Upper House will concur with this decision. The ma-
jority is certainly less than was expected; and as the suc-
cess of the Bill in the House of Lords was understood to
depend much cn the numbers of the majority by which it
might be passed in the Commons, the division of this
morning leaves the question still in considerable doubt.
The debate last night was opened by Mr. Got-Lsuale, in
opposition to the Bill. On the same side, Mr. WALLACE
spoke, and Mr. Secretary Prat. The measure was sup-
ported by Lord BINNING, Mr. PokTM•N, Mr. Secretary
CANNING, and Mr. BHOUGH•H.

Mr. LITTLETON postponed till this evening his motion
for leave to bring in a Bill for the disfranchisement of the
Irish Forty-shilling Freeholders.

The West India Company made its appearance this morning;
but the state of the market was unfavourable to it, alth ~gh no

colonies. The shares were at par to 4 premium.

Mr. Kean has been fulfilling his engagements at Man-
chester. On his appearance there last Monday evening in
lliehard Me Third, some expressions of disapprobation
were shown by a part of the audience, who were very
soon overpowered by Mr. Kean's admirers, and he went
through the character with great applause. After the play
Mr. Ki an being called for by the audience, came forward;
he noticed the opposition he had met with, to which his
friends replied—" No, no." Mr. Kean thanked them for
their approbation and kindness, and made his bow —On
Tuesday he played Sir Giles Overreach, and on Wednes-
day Othello, to crowded Louses. It was expect 'd he would
extend his engagement to Thursday, and take his leave
of his Manchester friends in the character of Shykek.

terminated his engagement. The house was crowded in
every part with a fashionable audience. We understand
that Mr. Kean has resigned his engagement here, in con-
sequence of a letter addressed to him by Mr. Murray, so
that all farther controversy on this subject will be termi-
nated.—Cateiloniiia
