DUBLIN PI/LICE BILL.
Upon the Motion for the committal of this bill, Mr. fir-
sti..innto observed, that it would be much better to sprint
Commissioners to inquire into the ahusi,, alleged to exist in
the Police of Dublin, so that they ntitht recuouneud some-
atrilig more palatable to the people of that city. At any rate
he disapproved of briuging forward this bill at such an ad-
vanced period of the Session, when many of the Irish Stem-
less were g me nut of town, without having bad an opportu-
nity of giving their opinions upon the subject.
Sir ARTHVR ‘VYLLCSLEY answered, that he was con-
vinced the people of Dublin were inclined to think favour-
ably of the ntermetrit proposed, and that it was absolutely ac-
cessary to previa* some additional meals of preserviog the
peace of that metropolis. lie had repeatedly expressed his
wish to bring • Bill forward at periods when army Irish
Numbers were present, and might have given their opinmos
upon it; but unavoidable postponements had taken place.

establishing a Pollee for Dublin; but he lamented that
such • B It should have been brought in, Involving prim-
ciples dangerous to he adopted. lie thought that it was

necessary, at this advanced period of the Session; be
doubted much whether it was wise or pendent to ,übstitute
oae police in place of another that had formerly been sell
weighed befOre its adoption. It was necessary, by the pie-
sent :newel*, that considerable appointments should take
place, infringing upon the Constitntion, without any bene-
ficial object being likely to be obtained. These (imam-
stences, together with the great volume of prorietoas of
which it cetilbsteti, rendered • dehMa•atc discussion than-
lutely necessary. Indeed it was of inch a length, that it was
impassible it could come out of the Committee its less them

Mr. GRATTAN said, thee, to speak candidly, he did not
think it would be easy to make any thing out of this gill,
to which be could giro: his cordial assent. He bad op-
pused almost all police bills that had been formerly ,oz,-
gested for Ireland ; and he thong:it it would be esteem/1y
ditticult to propose a police bill fur the city of Dublin, with-
out creating au en mama tool undue intiumme.
Strangers were Owet to withdraw, but the Howse went
lath &Committee. without a division.
A d.seassios took place relative to the extent of the juris-
dictitm which the new Magistrates, artincii- r this Will
of Police, should exercise. It was argued, that to extend
It to eight miles round the city of Dahlia, would unneces-
wiry lat. dere with the power. seated in the Magistrates
of the county of llnhlin. An Ameadnicnt was thou pro-
posed, to Imit the jurisdiction to four miles, in place of
eight, uu which the Cuminittec divided, when the numbers

Mr. PONSON BY stated his objections to the clause, which i
divide,: the Police establishment into six offices or districts. It

eighteen new offices, at 5001 salary for each. The English
Members were much deceived in their views, when they con-
ceived, that because such systems of Police were acted upon
is the great cities of London nod %Vs-sin:Water, them-
line it was advisable to extend the same Pripet* to the
Irish capital. There was ibis essential difference, that Dublin
stood upon the sea shore ;therefore a Police of this kind, with
a jut isdietion extending 8 miles round the metropolis, must
partake ufthe nature °fan am phibious Pollee. it must operate
ma well by water as unbind. From this circumstance, together
with the comparatisc). populatiou of Dublin, Ise eon-
tended that four offices were fully competent to all the ends

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
FRIDAY. Jima 10.

The arrival of the two Spanish Grandees, de-
pu ed by the people.of Spain to solicit the aid of
England against France, has excited considerable
interest. Among the various accounts of the state
of that country. imputed to these strangers and
their suite, it is said that the provinces of Biscay
and Asturias have established a provisional govern-
meat, whit+ has corresponded with the provinces of
Gallia*, Leon, Atra,gen and Catalonia, and it is ex-
pected that, before this time, the whole have risen
in 11111 A. The Marquis of SANTA Cauz is
at the. head of this Government, with the title
of Commander in- Chief. The official depart-
nsentt, Civil, Naval, and Military.are filled up, and
the opposition to the French has assumed all the
appearance of a regular and digesced system. On
the esth last, a Proclamation was issued, at Oviedo,
• inviting all those capable of bearing arms to join
the standard of the Lopslists-20,000, it is suit',
had obeyed the patriotic call ; and 150,000 more
acre expected to follow the example. They are,
however, deficient in arms and ammunition, and
it is no doubt to procure these, among other auxi-
liary objects, that the two Spanish ' Noblemen, re-
cently arrived, have been deputed to this country.
The ports of Gijon, St. Andcro, and Babea, it
is said, have been opened to the English, and, of
course, any aid which we may be disposed to give.
will reach its destination.—SONAPAllTE, in the
mean time, aware of the gathering storm, is pour-
ing more troops into Spain, from Italy, Ilol!and, and
France. All that veteran and well-disciplined army,
which overthrew Austria and Prussia, and,ainidst the
horrors of avr inter's svar, in a northern clime, met and
defeated the hosts of Russia, in the dreary wilds of
Poland, are now spreading themselves over the
Spanish provinces, with the climate and the season
&reusable to their wishes. Recollecting what that
army has achieved, we might, with justice, despair
of the safety of Spain, if history did oat furnish in-
stances of the wonders, which a people, sincerely
penetrated with the love of liberty, have been
able to achieve in its defence. Only a few months
have elapsed since a handful of Calabrian peasants
maintained a long and arduous contest with the
best regular troops of France. If. then, the age of
chivalry is not gone, if that romantic spirit of bra-
very, fur which Spain was once renowned, 64 is not
dead, hut slcepeth," what may we not expect
ftoni such an iininense population rising in a mass.
and orgaiiized ihto a system under able and gallant
leadrrs ? The French army passed through Ger-
many like a ball through the air—lt met neither
obstruction nor resistance, because the nations
weft without spirit, and the love of liberty was ex-
tingui.dusl in their bosoms. If such be the state
of Spain, the sai.tc will be its fate ; but it is grate-

ful to God th.t rrport t,wola Timbre forourably of

its character, that if the accounts of its ri-ing spirit
Ise only partly true, there is sufficient to c.icoura;c
the most s.aagaiue exp-:•tatious. The ;Mad, hov-
erer, is too apt to indulge iu pleasing specul-tions
to au extent exceeding the curd and silaple bound-
aries of truth, and therefore we must receive such
grateful rumours as those recently brought from
Spain with caution; not iv'th a cowardly cau'iom

that would shrink front au enterprize, the. result of
which was uncertain, bat with that judgment arid
good *civic which never 'delight in dreanis and
slang, however tr,wcintiq ai,d alltiting.

Yesterday, dispatches %ere received at the
Admiralty from Sir Sa»vr•.t. Hoop, d.ttnl utY
Satusoe, 15th Mays unsiktincing the capture is
some valuable Rrizes ; tl particulars of which trill
appear in the next Ga.;:ette.--Samsott is a Datsish
island, between North Jlltlfind and Zealand.

The embarkation of troops at Dower still continue?.
A part of the pith regiment, from II) the, marched
in and embarked on Wednesday. The amours.
and destination of the force that is to mil from Do-
ver are not et ascertained. Some combining it is
point of time with the arrival of Colonel Mussy
with dispatches from General Moose, conclude
that it is intended to reiuftnv our troops is
Sweden. Others conceive that it is part of
a force of 4000 men, that is to join the Woo
now assembled at Cork, to the command of
which Sir AILTRUE WELLESLEY is appointed.—
This latter is the more probable case. The force
at Cork, we understood, was originally intended
to act against the Spaniish possessions in South
America; but that project, we [lope, will now be laid
aside.—To animate and strengthen the rising spi-
rit of Spain, is .11 afford much nobler and more
useful employment.

On the report of Mr. Phtnca's per restage
Bill. last night, in the House of ('ominous, a dis-
cussion took place. Mr. Bait EL* moved an amet.d-
'neut, and was seconded by Mr. Rose, who %%ere
opposed by Sir T. TERTON and Mr. WHITBREAD.
After the gallery was cleared, we understand the
SPEAKER stated his opinion of the irregularity of
the amendment, which was negatived without a
division, and the third reading was ordered for this
day.
It now appears that neither a Messenger nor
dispatches have as yet reached lOWA from the Go-
vernment of the United States. The A tnerican
vessel, the St. Michael, sailed from Baltimore on
the sth ult. with dispatches for General ARK-
stemma, under the care of Mr. BAKSR ; a Mr.
Puaviante was also tho bearer of dispatches for
PINCKBET, inclosiag others for the British
Government. The vessel was instructed to make
the port of L'Orieut; on her approach to which, on
the 31st ult. anti before she entered the harbour,
she was overhauled by a British man cf war. The
Captain learning that a MessemEer was on board
with dispatches for the British Csovertisuesit, pro-
posed to give him a safe conveyance to England ;
but his offer was declined, the Messenger's in-
structions being first to proceed to France.—
'1 lie St. Michael having thus entered L'Orient,
under the same circumstances as the Osage did
lately-, the persnus on board of her are likely to
suffer similar difficulties and embarrassineut. Mr.

The Elizabeth and Mary, Tnom nOl, from Ja-
maica for London, is supposed to be captured.
The Mercury, MASON, from New Bruaswick,
for Jamaica, has brew captured, re-captured, and
carried into Jamaica.
Extract of a letter from Captain Hoemes, of the
ship Brook Watson, from London, dated Annetta
Bay, (Jamaica), April 15 1 arrived here on the
18th ult. after being chri•eil by a Spaaieh schooner,
of one 24-ponntler, and ten 18-pound carronades,
from 4 o'clock in the morning, till 4 in the after-
noon, when being nearly within gun-shot. His MA..
JesTY's ship Tweed hors iu sight, round the west-
end of St. Domingo ; it being then cairn, she low-
ered three boats, with fifty men, which came on
board, and remained all night."
It must afford the highest satisfaction to every
feeling mind to observe Abe present %Halite ition of
capital punishments in the metropolis. Instead of
twelve or twenty wretched victims being hung up
every sin weeks, m was formerly the ease, theme
he. been bat a single execution daring the eight
months in which the present Sheriff+ have been in
office, and that a very aggravated case of forgery.
It is equally satisfactory to observe, that this mild
administration of the laws does not tend to dimi-
nish the salutary effect of them, for there were never
so few cases of aggravated crime as at present.
One of the moat elarioos and interesting foreign
productions which lies ever been given to the
world is .• The Jestreal of Professor Gears," just
published : a man who is so well known in the an-
nals of German literature. It relates his converse-
tions with many of the most eminent persons, civil
and military, in the confidence sod service of Hie
PRUSSIAN MAJESTY, during six or seven days pre+
+ions to the fatal batle of Auerstadt, in October,
1806. In this production, all the secret springs
that produced the subversion of the Prussian Mo-
narchy, are disclosed and rendered palpable. The
character of the reigning Nose, of the Wean, of
Count HAUGIVITZ, of the late Duke of
wtce, of LuccaesiN I. of General A GCRIICIGHT,
and of LOMBARD, on whom depended,' or from
whom may be said to have flowed, the misfortunes
which overturned the Monarchy of Prussia ; are
most ably pourtrayed by the pencil of a master.
Malay of the anecdotes and facts related of BON A•
ARTI. greatly elucidate the character of that ex-
traordinary man. Those who read the circum-
stances related of F RED LR IC WILLIAM, his indeci-
sion and yielding facility of character, contrasted
with the strength of mind and energy, no less than
decision of the Queen of PRUSSIA'S character, will
he involuntarily reminded of Louts the XI Ith and.
MammAwreteerrs.

This was an avtio3 brought agaiyst the late
Sheriff of Middlesex, for not having taken in exe-
cution, ou a writ of fieri
.fiscius, the effects of his
Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, iu his apart-
ments in Kensington Palace.
It appeared in evideace. that the Plaintiff had
.recowtred is judgment apipst his Bayed
that iu luue, 1807, execution had been token out
against his goods, for 3,0ea1. and upwards; and
that there were, at that time, effects of kis Royal
highness in his apartments in Kensington Palace ;
but that the Sheriff had declined to execute the
proettai of the law darns, conceiving that Ken-
tiagton Palace; thOugh it has nut been inhabited by
Hiw present Majesty at any time during his reign,
was yst a privileged/ place, and protected the ;fools
of all persons whatever whilst they remained there.
Lord El.l.xxaoaouGu, in his charge to the
;Jury, lett it to them to say whether this was a

that it was, -a verdict was taken fur the Defend-

A shocking circumstance occurred its the neigh-

with which he alarmed the neighbourhood by
threatening to fire upon many persons. He next

most every person who attempted to secure him
was wounded.—Neither 'he nor his wife are e--

Some workmen ran to the spot, and found hint
suspersded by one arm in the basket, with the other

mined to resist the entrance of the Freuch troops,

HOLYHEAD HARBOUR.

If, instead of expending a large sum of money, in
order to improve the harbour of Holyhead, a har-
bour were constructed at Porthtlytilein, in Caruar-
ronshire, the loss of many lives, as well as a va.rt
sonnet expense, might be saved, while the distance
to nod from Logdon would be cousiderabli di-
minished. It is 189 milts Gum London to Ches-
ter, and gt from that city to Holyhead, making
together SRI. besides the delay, inconvenience, and
danger of crossing the two ferries, or arms o...the sea,
at Conway,and over theMenai, at Banpot►ferry, to
the Isle of Anglesea. The fatal accidents which
have continually happened at both, ant recent is
our recollection.
The distance from London to Porthdynleiti is
only ,2,54 miles, consequently 27 Miles less than to
Holyhead; being, to Shrewsbury, IV2, and from
thence to Porthdvnlein, gd more, without the inter-
vention of any ferry, river, or arm of the an. The
road from Shrewsbury is throngh Llangolleo, Cor-
win, Cepa Voelas, Bedgellert, Pullbeli. and
Porthdynlein lies about three miles from the
town of Nevin, in a beitutifill part orenniorron-
shire, open to the. Irish Sea, yet pmteeted by
Anglesea from the north-west Winds, and possessing
a great depth of water, as welt as mane advantages
above the harbour of Holyhead. If we did not
knew by experience how slowly nations awl go-
vernments are induced to quit the Listen path of
abuses, and to adopt a better system, we might
justl)• wonder at our having been so long insensible
to the superiority which Portlitlytilein
_possesses
Over Holyhead.

At two o'clock, on Thursday morning, the Also-
&eta, Foesrrit, lying near the Ferry Boat Laud-
in:, Sunderland, was discovered to be onlire. The
flames bunt out with such rapidity. that two boys,
the only persons on board, were 01,11 red' to preci-
pitate themselves into au raljoininj keel, with part
of their clothing in their bonds. li, a short time,
the whole of the rigging, &e. was entirely con-
sumed ; but by the assistance of the engines, and
the uncommon exertion,* of those who volunteered
to work them, the hull, though nearly a wreck,
;tb about six keelu of coals, which were on board,
was preserved from apparently total and inevitable
destruction. The .iltohnsto was nearly a new ves-
sel, valued at 3,0001. and belonged to Me'airu.
