Mr. STUART WORTLEY contended that looking to the

in no part of oar History could he find that Code Castle or

Lord BURY vindicated the advocstes of Patliamentary
Reform from the charge of disaffection to the Constitution.
Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) spoke against the motion,

Mr. BONY WOOD said a few words in support of the

LON DO 1,
WEDNESDAY, Aram le, RM.
The adjourned debate upon the question for the
second reading of the Catholic Bill was resumed
in the House of Lords soon after five o'clock last
evening. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S was the
first who spoke. The Learned Prelate opposed
the Bill, not merely from an ides that the se-
curities proposed were inadequate for preserving
the Constitution, as by law established, in Church
and State, but upon the general ground that the
Catholic., on account of their recognising the
authority of a foreign Prince, could never be ad-
mitted with safely into the enjoyment of any places
of power or confidence. We marvel that ibis Rev.
Prelate, and those other Learned and Noble Lords
who agree with him in this opinion, were wholly
silent respecting the dangers of Catholic admissi-
bility some few years since, when Mr. Canasta's.
Bill, opening the highest ranks both its the arn►y
and navy to the Roman Catholics, passed quietly
through both Houses. This ought to be considered
as a grievous oversight. fur undoubtedly if treachery
be apprehended on the part of our Catholic coup-.
trymen, notwithstanding the thousand pregnant
proofs they have given of devoted fidelity to their
King and country, the opportunities offered to
them by Mr. CROKRR'S Bill of executing their
dangerous purposes must excite the most serious
alarms. It is in the hour of battle, when the
dearest interests of the country are exposed to the
veriest caprice of fortune, that a secret enemy can
most safely and most effectually manifest his hos-
tility, and not iii the midst of a peaceful Session of
the House of Lords or Commons, where his schemes
must quickly be discovered, and his guilt be neu-
tralised by the talents or numbers of his opponents.
The discussion of last night was most particularly
distinguished by the presence of his Royal High-
ness the Duke of YORK, who took a part in the de-
bit', fur the purpose of expressing his disappro-
bation of the principle of the Bill. The Illus-
trious Duke might have collected from his own ex-
perience that Roman Catholics, as such, are not
undeserving of trust and confidence.

The debate was brought to a conclusion at
THREE. O'CLOCK this morning. There wa• •
majority of 39 against the second reading of the

Lt the House of Commons last night, Mr.
LANBTON brought forward his plan of Parliamen-
tary Reform. The night was nut p►opitious fur
the discussion or such u question, for as the pre.
sent iilt..?tet.t of the Roman Catholic Bill far ex-
• ceeds that of any other subject, a large proportiois
of the Members of the House of Commons were,
as might be expected, assembled behind the
throne in the House of Lords, instead of being en•
gaged in their proper place, determining the merits

of Mr. LAMITON's •proposition. The plan pro.
posed by the Hon. Gentleman had reference to
three great points—the duration of Parliaments,
the qualifications of electors, and the territorial
divisions of the kingdom. His object would be to
restore triennial elections, to extend the right of
voting to copyholderr, leaseholders, resident house.
holders, and persons paying direct taxes, and
to divide England ■nd Wales into districts car-
respondiog with the 417 Members now repre-
senting these portions of the empire. The plan
was not to extend to Ireland and Scotland. For
the minuter particulars we must refer our readers
to the report of the Hun. Member's speech. The
plan was supported by Mr. AA'HITIIIRAD, Mr.
HOSMoUSE, Sir It, WiLsorr, and dr. WILLIAMS ;
■nd opposed by Mr. Wit.moT and Mr. STUART
WORTLEY; when, on the motion of the CHAN.
MAWS of the EXCHEQUER, the debate was ad-
journed at one o'clock to this day.

The intelligence winch we communicated yester-
day respecting the invasion of Piedmont by the
Austrian troapv, the junction of these troops with
those under the command of General LATOUR, and
the consequent dissolution of the Provisional Junta.
is officially confirmed by the Paris Papers of
Saturday, which have arrived at our office. It was
on the Bth instant that the Austrian army, amount-
ing to 95,000 men, entered the Piedmontere ter-
ritory. It was immediately joined by the troops of
the King of SARDINIA, winch had been assembled at
Novara. and the united force matched directly to-
wards Turin. It would seem that some small body

sun, the Governer of Chemberry, at 5,000 men..'
bat Ilse same letter adds, that se inefficient had this
force become from the anarchy and want of dmci-
pline that prevailed among the revolutionist*, that
a single regiment of Hulans was sufficient to
disperse the . whole body. The Provisional--
Junto being •pprised of the unresisted ap-
proach of the invader*, resigned the citadel of
Turin to the protection of the national guard, and
announced to the citizens by a kind of proclaims-
tion,that they confided the care of the capital to the
Municipal Authorities, Nothing further is known
respecting the Members of the Junta, whether
Ithey have escaped from Turin, or are resolved to
meet the consequences of their disobedience to the

commands of the new King CHARLES FELIX.
All that now remains to be done its Italy is to
restore the despotic power of the KING in the once
free city of (hums, and the authority of Austin'
will be then established throughOOt every part or
the Italian peninsula in a manner that may bid
defiance to the possibility of control. The idlu-
vice of that h'aughty power in Italy will hence—
forth be as deCisive in directing and governing the
resource% of Italy, as if Austria were avowedly the
legiritnate possessor of that fine country ; for the
Cabinet of Vienna can now experience 110 greater
difficulty in managing the off:ins of Naples and
Piedmont, than it has hitherto felt in thwarting
the favourable destinies oh Milan or Venice.

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—On the morning of

near this city, between W. C--, and H. G--,
Esqrv. when, after an exchange of shots, we are
