LON DON,
SATURDAY. MAY le.

The Catholic Petition was discussed, last night,
in the House of Lords. The debate did not end
until five o'clock this morning, when the House
divided—Coutents 74, Nots-contents 161, being
little more than two to one against the question.
The business excited great interest, and the space
below the bar was crowded to an excess during the
whole of the night. Among the strangers were
the Earl of FINGAL, Doctor MILNER, Mr. ED-
WARD HAY, the principal Roman Catholic Dole-
gat.: from Ireland, and severul others. Ludy
HOLLAND was present daring the whole of the
debate. Her Ladyship sat clove to the dour tor
the entrance of strangers.

In the Committee, last night, in the House of
Commons, it was agreed, that the stoppage of the
use of grain, in the distilleries, shoald take place
in England on the toth of June, in Scotland on
the 15th. and iu Ireland on the soth.

The last accounts frma Manchester are so late
as Wednesday evening, and state, that the weaver.
had assembled in great numbers in St. George's
Fields, and had been joined by mapy hundreds
from the country. Their numbers arc said to
amount to ten or fifteen thousand people.—_
The megistrutes had endeavoured, in vain, to per-
suade them to disperse, and were at last obliged to
call in the-assistance of the military: and we are
sorry to learn, that several were killed and wound-
ed. Disorder still prevails in Manchester.
The Traissit, 'Astor:, is arrived at Plymouth,
from the Mediterranean, with dispatches from Sir
ALEXANDFA BALL. Seat arrived at (Abraham on
the 14th, and took on board dispatches from Sir 11.
DALRY Mr LE. lit passing throngh the gulph, she
acconipauicil 19 sail of transports full of troops, Pro-
ceeding on a secret es pedition,supposed to be honed
for Cadiz, to join our fleet there.
Foreign Papers arrived last night, though not of
n late date. They announce the long-expected rup-
ture hetwezn fittest* and the Turks. The Serrians
are called on to take an active part in the war.
—lt is said that 'Russia has deposed the Hospoder
of Wallachia, Prince Ypsilanti, who is one of the
moat accomplished and *hest of the modern Greeks.
Two Gottenhurgh Mails arrived yesterday :
They. anuounce the arrival of the whole ofthe ex-
pedition under Admiral • Kean and General
Moose.—Several of the transports entered the
harbour of Gottenbergb on the itith instant, mud
on the lath, the whole fleet, amounting to nearly
300 vessels, was at anchor. The ultimate (lcs-
titintion of the mho* woe not known at that date.
Thu official accounts from the theatre of war in
INstrway come down to the 7th inst. The sanguine
hopes eutertained at the early part of the cauipalgti
of the speedy eseene.ation of Christiana, have va-
nished, and the Swedish army appears to have been
driven bark to its own froutier. Of the reverses
which led to this result, there is only one noticed.
It is en aCll.lii WI the :nth. in Which a Swedish
corps of son, under t ;en. GAMi. was RU11'0,111(10'4
and obliged to siircitieler, after having had about
one half of its force killed and wounded. On the
side of Finland no material military operation has
taken place since the affair of the 18th, in
which the Swedes obtained en adveutage uver
the Itussians, near Sikejucki, to the ''loth, at
which date Geaeral KLINGSPOIL• bad his heed-
, quarters at timmingo, a town at the mouth
of the river Linintitiv, and about half way be-
tween Sikejoeki and tileaborg, except an actiou
on the ::3tl:. in which the Swedes were sitecetsfal,
having retaken Sewolnx, and obliged the Russiiths
to retire, with the loss of too killed, and 4ov taken

prisoners.
A small Swedish force having been scut sgniuct

of the island, and obliged them to surrender.
Yesterday, the Gentlemen intending to bid F.

amount, und other particulars, respecting it. ,tl..
Peacevsa informed them, the sum required
Ten Millions and a Half; it was his intention to
