structing the operation of the act of WA W 0041011;

LOCAL MILITIA.
Lord CASTLCREAGN moved for the third read-
ing pf the Local Militia Bill.
Mr. limes opposed game of the clauses ; that
which imposed upon the parish a fine of 131. for
every nem w which it Was deficient, he• thought
unjust; and that a hieli permitted the eulistuient
of the men from the local militia while on duty
'auto other service, he considered highly impolitic.

It will be seen, o,s reference to our report of that
business in the I louse of Lords, last night, that the-
Earl of I.lv k. arum. adiaitted that Mr. FREAC bed
acted with ;mit' impropriety to thi• late General
Sir Jona Moues. We may therefore presume,
that as a peace-offering to the manes of that gallant
and much-lamented hero, the said Mr. FLEUR will
be immediately divested of his diplomatic functions

sive of the question of Parliamentary Reform, oust
as such has excited extraordinary expectation.-•-
OUr short-sighted Ministers cannot. however, sae
this plain and obvious truth, and in ,tead of leaving
the Noble Viscount to his tate, have exerted all
their energies for his support. The Oppositions
analog more fairly and more wisely, have avoided
every thing that could subject it to the suspicion
of a pmuty question. They have sent out no let-
ters ta.setitatlaz friends, respeatitig their attend-
ance. They have etude no attempt to pack a
jury. No, they bare left the Noble Viscount as
ought to be the rule in all cases.—They have lit
him to be tried by God and his country.

The Wa/singhom packet hus arrived at Falmouth,

we have received letters MA paper► from that city

segnenre of the success of the artily of Est reinsidora.
Tnis intelligence is official, bolo;; communicated be

the Spanish provinc, of Gallicia iu its rear was
all in arms.
