TUESDAY, MARcu 23, 1319.

The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRS last evening in the
!louse of Lord., ',resented the J'etit►on of the No-
bility, Gentry, 'Merchants, and Trader., being Pro-
testatita of the City of Dublin, praying for the
removal of the tltsabilit►es that continue to oppress
the lt..u►an Catholics of Ireland. From the local
knowledge the Petitioners run.t necessarily posters
of their It sssss au Catholic countrymen, and of the
pernicious effects hitherto produced in Ireland by
the continuance „of the Penal Code, tbeir.evtdence
ought to be received with the greatest respect.
They consist of all that is emineut in Ireland for
rat.k, property, a►►d talent, and are the more
entitled to attention from the circumstance elo-
quently noticed by the Marquis of LANSDOWN,
of being the first to alert the dangers, whatever
they way be, which might by possibility result
Guess aucetling to the prayer of the Petition.

The. Mi•itites of the Evidence in the case of the
Petition of Mr. Git against Mr. QUIN, as
taken at the bur of the (louse of •Commons, have
been priced. With the Appendix they occupy
o►►e hundred and six folio pages, from which we
-have made a copious extract. The Home will
.►hecurr the merit, of the case on Monday next, and
we do not wish, ut any ferny, ks of our own, to an-
•ticipate its decision.

We have received Savannah :Papers to the 13th,
awl Charleston Papers to the Will tilt. The only
intelligence of any interest which they .cotititin is
the re,iilt of the inquiry into the conduct of Ce-
atrial JACKSON, by the (louse of ReKeventativev.
They hate found notinag to condemn ! the
Iltiuve of Repreaentativev, 'the question was taken
on the Revolution reported by the Committee on
Military Affairs, divapproving the proceedings in
the trial and execution of ARBUTHNOT and AM-
%MISTER, cad decided in the negative.
A motion was then made by 111 r. Cosa, that the
11011.0 do come to the following Revolution :

Resolved—That the tete seizure of the Spaniel' poste at
Pensacola And St. t We de Baraucas, in West Florida, by
the army of the Utlit,tr,, was contrary to the Consti-
tution of tine United -Ststre." Fur ogretiol to it 79
itgnitiet it 10d.

Thus has this to.utty -tint) been settled, after
o debate of three wtrks. It is worthy of reuiArk,
that the IIo►:se has never he en known to have beets
n►nre fully atteuded than Warts the above votes

of the Court, by *hewing a proper regard to the

their indmtry.
