LONDON, TUESDAY. APRIL 26, 1623.
.........C21....
Front the Paris Papers of Saturday we learn that on the
preceding day the Law of Indemnity, with the amend-
ments of the Peers, was laid before the Chamber of
Deputies. After some debate on the question, whether the
Clamber should immediately proceed to vote on the amend-
ments, which was strongly opposed by M. B. CONSTANT,
at contrary to the standing orders, it was resolved by a
considerable majority, to defer the debate on the amend-
ments till the following day.
The Efate, dated Sunday, gives only the following
shcrt notice of the sitting of Saturday :
"At the opening of the sitting, the debate on the amendments,
trade by the Chamber of Peers to the Indemnity Law, was began.
M. Vuplessis de Cat nedan spoke against the amendment to Art. I.
The speech of the Honourable Member excited violent murmurs,
and he was frequently interrupted by cries of ' Order, order !'
The Minister of Finance then made a speech in reply to the pre-
ceding speaker."
The other contents of these papers are of little interest.
We have given such extracts as we could make in another
column. The French politicians hive observed, that the
Enzlish Ambassador, Lord GRANVILLE, was not invited
to any of the diplomatic dinner parties of Prince Murria-
SIM The Austrian, we suppose, thought it becoming his
dignity to mark by this studied neglect his aversion to the
niforeign policy of the English Cabinet. He may be as
rgry and as dignified as he pleases ; the policy of Eng-
d will remain the same.

Tn the Quotidienne it is represented that M. CO•arx in-
tends to take up his residence for some time at Bayonne,
the general rendezvous of the disgraced Ministers of the
Peninsula.

The Etoile gives extracts from the debates in Parliament
a the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. It particularly nem-
mods the speech of Mr. BROWNLOW to the consideration
trite medal'. While the apostolical junta of Mont Rouge
m making these zealous efforts on behalf of the Roman
Utholia of Ireland, the French people are growing more
vlgnant daily, at the scandalous excesses and insolent
plosion:3 of their clergy. By our extracts from the Con-
eutoutel it will be sees that a pr't.st of Darnetal has
bra charged by a great number of the inhabitants of that
own, fathers of families, with having corrupted the morals
tr.::e youth under his spiritual care. The particulars of
mr:meation are too shocking for the journalist to repeat.
Vim-General refused to listen to the complaint,
he said, was only a Jacobin conspiracy, but the
have been since laid before the civil authorities, and
prosecution commenced. At Rouen there has been a
1 .malt arising from the interference of the Cardinal Arch-
'whop, whose tender regard for the character of his clergy
to not suffer the 2'artufe to be played within his diocese.

The second reading of the Bill for regulating the Elec-
tive Franchise in Ireland, was postponed yesterday, till
this cveaing, for the purpose of enabling its authors to in-
tr,,!tice some alterations, calculated to render it more
prualy acceptable. In another column we have pub-
tishelthe Bill entire. In consequence of the delay of this
measure, F. BURDETT, on the suggestion of Itlr.
l':usztrr, also postponed, till this evening, the Coln-
tittee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Lord F. L.
Gown's notice also stands on the order book fur this

11 "ening, to move a resolution, " to enable the Crown to
pint provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ireland."
MI these subjects can hardly be well considered on one
4 evening. They will each respectively occupy much
time. The details of the Relief Bill will pass slowly,
el with much opposition, through the Committee. A
Ter! important occurrence connected with this question
teak place yesterday in the House of Lords. The Duke
of Yaks, on presenting a petition from the Dean and
Cmpter of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, declared him-
telf in the strongest terms to be as decidedly hostile as ever
boy further concessions to the Roman Catholics. His
kinal Highness read over the Coronation oath, and stated
tan in his judgment the language of that solemn obliga-
tion necessarily precluded the Sovereign from giving the
Rolkl Assent to the measures before the other House of
Parliamer.t. The emphatic words with which his Royal
Highness concluded his short but memorable speech, will
be read with the most intense interest by all who have
tki:ell part in the discussion of this question. If, con-
ikt:ng the known disposition of the Peerage generally,
and the lofty station of the Illustrious Speaker, his dada-
! ruin do not absolutely extinguish all hope of success
amongst the Roman Catholics, it is certainly deferred to a
P:ned considerably remote. The cotAuding words of his
Royal Highness were to this effect:—
..

-----
" I hare for the last twenty-five years considered this subject
with attention, and every year boa convinced me more and more
teeegh. that nothing has occurred to indttee me to change the
',1"" i hate formed, and which opinion, in whatever situation
"naY be placed, 1 will never filter—So help me God."

flat important subject, the Corn Laws, was yesterday,
13 some degree, under the consideration of both Houses of
Parliament. No subject of Legislation is environed with
I°. Puny and such serious difticulties. The fairest mode to
patties, and that which would be least open to fraud,
ir4tild be a protecting duty ; but it is obvious, that there
LIY be seasons of dearth when no fixed rule could be
r 1-rained. The system of averages, however, is so

notoriously defective, that we believe there will be no ob-
jection on either side to its removal. Mr. HosxtssoN an-
nounced that it was his intention, at an early period of the
next Session, to bring the entire subject before Parliament.
On Thursday evening, on Mr. W. Wit tvmon c's motion,
it is the intention of the President of the Board of Trade
to state the considerations that have influenced him. In
answer to a question from Mr. T. Wit sou, he stated that
he should persevere in recommending the abolition of the
prohibitory duties. The Right Hon. Gentleman also made
known his intention shortly to propose that the corn which
has been under lock for several years should be admitted
into the market. Mr. GOOCH made an attempt to sound
the trumpet of alarm, but though he concluded with a
quotation, be failed in arousing the sensitive fears of the
country gentlemen. It was gratifying upon the whole to
remark the friendly spirit in which the Members repre-
senting the two great interests of the country expressed
themselves towards each other. The only Gentle-
man
who did not figure much to his advantage in
the discussion, was Mr. Cat.caarr, who, in his anxiety
to find something blameable in the conduct of Minis-
tera, reprehended them sharply for not giving notice
of what they did not intend to do. The Order Book
is sufficiently crowded with notices already. We know
not to what length it would be extended, if all that Go-
vernment does not intend to bring forward were also en-
tered upon it.

LORD AND LADY CLANRICARDE.—The young Earl
of Clanricarde, and his lovely and accomplished bride
(the only daughter of the Right Hon. Secretary for Fo-
reign Affairs,) attended by a numerous and splendid suite,
landed at Howth yesterday, from England. The car-
riages and servants of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant,
who has long been the attached friend of the Countess's
father, were in waiting to receive and convey the noble
pair and their attendants to town. They are on their way
to Portumna Castle, the ancient and magnificent seat of
the Clanricarde family, in the county of Galway.—Thiblia

CRY TF. n Arai'. 21.—Yesterday being the day
appointed for the celebration of his Majesty's Birth-day,
the same was observed here with demonstrations of rejoic-
ing. A number of flags of various nations, and other
emblems, were displayed at the Royal Old Well, in the
delightful Long NI alk of Elms, leading to the celebrated
Puny-Room, under the management of Mr. Chambers.
The flag at the church steeple was also displayed. The
bells rang a merry peal during the day ; guns were fired at
intervals at the Royal Old Wells; several dinner parties
took place to celebrate the event. The town is now fuller
of company than ever was known at this season of the year;
what is called a good house is not to be obtained ; about
300 houses in and about the town are erecting, and such is
the rage for building, that sufficient workmen cannot be
procured to proceed with the buildings now in hand. The
Plough Inn and the Imperial Hotel and Boarding House
have been so full, that families have been turned away.
Liddell's, late Fisher's boarding-house, is also full, and
the present proprietor bids fair to be well supported by
some of the first families who resort here. A new road to
Gloucester has lately been completed ; it proceeds close to
Mr. Thompson's Montpelier Spa, by the King's Old Well,
in the front of the Crescent, branches to the right, and
enters High-street at the back of the Colonnade.
The annual Festival of the celebration of the King's
Birthday was observed by his Majesty's Honourable corps
of Gentlemen Pensioners dining together on Saturday at
Freemasons' Hall.
CONGRESS AT MILAN. —A letter from Turin, in the
Journal Belgique, states, that " it is generally thought that
the meeting at Milan will have two objects; the first is the
general policy of Europe; the second, the interests of Italy
in particular. The last naturally excites the curiosity of
the Italians. Everything is in motion around them and
at a distance. Representative Governments exist in France
and the Netherlands. Several German Princes have also
set an example, by introducing into their States that li-
beral system to which Great Britain owes its prosperity."
Letters received yesterday from Paris state, " that such
part of the French army as is not wanted for the reinforce-
ment of the garrisons in the fortified towns retained in
Spain, will return immediately into France. On the 13th
inst. the 17th regiment of chasseurs, forming a part of the
troops to be withdrawn, arrived at Bayonne. They would
be followed by the artillery of the 12th, and other regi-
ments, to the extent of about 8,000 or 10,000 men. The
whole were expected in that place by the 20th inst. The
General commanding would have his head-quarters there
on the 22d."
iVe have received papers from the Ci.pe of Good Hope
to the 23d December, but they contain no intelligence of
any importance. By their total silence on the subject, we
arc led to believe that the inroads of the Caffres on the
boundary line of the colony have ceased.
Letters have been received by a merchant in the City
from Trieste, confirming the account of the earthquake at
Algiers. The letter states that upwards of seventeen
thousand persons perished, of whom more than two thou-
sand were Jews.
The Jews in Warsaw have been subjected to new and
petty vexations. By an ordonnance dated the 91st of
March, they are commanded to remove from some streets
not mentioned in the preceding ordonnances, by the Ist of
May, this year, and to reside in the most remote part
of the suburbs.
The splendid mansion of a Noble Marquis, in Piccadilly,
which, from the splendor of its furniture and the spice-
dor of its entertainments, is denominated the Guildhall of
the west end of the town, is not likely to become a fa-
vourite residence of the noble proprietor. It is a somewhat
singular circumstance, that although he has expended
many thousands in furnishing and completing this elegant
mansion, he has not, since its completion, slept a single
night under its roof, from a supposition, we understand,
of the unhealthfulness of the situation, which arises from
the closeness of the lane, and premises in the rear of it.
The entertainments of the Noble Lord are given theme, and
he retires every night to another town establishment in its
vicinity.
