TUESDAY. MAY IS, 1819.

The Claims of the Roman Catholics were last
flight submitted to the consideration of the House
of Lords by the Earl of DONOUGIIMORE, who
moved that the House should resolve itself into a
Committee to consider of the laws affecting the Ro-
man Catholics, end to ascertain how far they might
be altered and modified. This motion gave rise to
a long and interesting debate, which closed, how-
ever, without giving au assurance of future tran-
quillity to the country, by the removal of all un-
wise distinctions on account of religion. On a di-
vision the numbers were, including Proxies, for the
motion, 1011—against it, 147—being a majority of
41 against the Catholics.

We have received the Paris Papers of Friday last.
The trial of CANTILION MARINET for a con-
spiracy to assassinate the Duke of WELLINGTON
still occupies the attention of the Assize Court
of Paris. On the fourth day, the Counsel on both
sides delivered their opinions. The Sitting was ad-
journed to the following day, when the PRESIDENT
was to runt up the evidence.
It is remarked iii these Papers, that the hotel of
the Swedish A inhassador was illuminated with more
than usual brilliancy on Weiluesday night, to ho-
'lour the anniversary of his Sovereign's coronation.
The Queen of SWEDEN had a private conference
on Thursday with the King of FttANcr, not lin.
probably for the purpose of engaging his MAJESTY
to interpose between her husband and the fate with
which he is said to be threatened by those Sove-
reigns who pledged their own faith and the faith
of combined Europe for the support of his
dynasty un the throne of Sweden.

A Dutch lNail has arrived, with Papers from
Brussels to the 13tli instant. The wife of a
Physician at Frankfort, stubbed her husband in
bed, and inflicted upon him seventeen ooundr.
The crime has made it great impression, and people
assimilate it to that or SAND. The reasons for this
opinion, however, are not noticed. The woman
was probably mad.
