THE BR.

When he remembered those tamed his blood boiled : when he
thought of the blood which had been shed—when he remembered
the rebels, with feeble fight, attempting to avenge themselves upon
their per eeutors, whilst some Irishmen, who were a diagrAce to
that coutrry, were the abettors of cruelty and persecution. His
Ilonoutadle and Gallant Friend did not mean to apply the word
" terrify" to any statesinen personally. His Honourable Friend
had too much respect for the character of an English Gentleman, he
applied the word" terrify" to the mea4um of certain stets*. nen, who
delayed making reparaiinn for wrongs.—lf they acted in a manner
which was likely to produce a separation between the two countries,
if they waited until ltance, and Spain, and Russia took occasion to
come forward, saying, we shall make coannon cause with Ireland—
if Ministers waited for this,—if they proposed measures that would
destroy the tranquillity of the country, and involve one part of the
empire in a civil and religious war, which another part should be
burthened with taxes to support,—if Ministers did all this and were
not terrified at the consequences, he (Sir R. Wilson) did nut envy
the courige of such Ministers. Yet there was still time, and he
hoped th:re would soon be an opportunity, to heal the wrongs of
distracted Ireland. Let Ministers do what is right, and reasonable,
and honest,-and let them resist what is unlawful, and this country
should be able to defend itself—
" Come the three corners of the world in arms."
Mr. B. CLARKE spoke from under the gallery, and was inau-
dible far some minutes. We understood the Honourable Member
to say, that he could not give a silent vote when he heard rebellion
advocated at the other side of the House. t No, no, mingled with
cries of Hear, hear.) The Honourable Member for Cork had
talked of corrupt majorities at his (Mr. B. Clarke's) side of the
House ; he would throw back to is stigma, and say, that this was
no time for taking the sense of the House on this or any other ques-
tion, so near the eve of a general election.
Cries of " Quostiun" now became general, the gallery was
cleared ; hut the clause proposed to be introduced into the Bill by
Mr. Home was negatived without a division.
The SPEAKER then left the Chair, and the House resolved
itself into a Committee on the BIM
The Bill was then gone through clause by clause.
Mr. GOVLBURN moved the clause—
" That every Society, Committee, or other body of persons now
established, or to be hereafter established in Ireland, assuming, or
-by any means on contrivance exercising, the power of acting for the
purpose of procuring the redress of grievances in Church or State.
or the alterations of any matters by law established in Church or
State,the members, or any numbered members whereof shall renew
or continue the meetings or proceedings of such Society, Corn.
mitten, or other body of persons, &c. &c. shall be deemed an un-.
lawful combination and confederacy, and the meetings thereof
unlawful assemblies."
Mr. SPRING RICE wished the reason to be understood why
he and the Gentlemen at his side abstained from opposing the Bill
in Committee. He considered the Bill altogether so objectionable.
that it was his impression no suggestions or modifications proposed
by them could Tender it leas obnoxious. Notwithstanding this,
and the then state of the House. he would reserve to himself the
right of protesting against the adoption 41' the measure.
The clause was then agreed to.
Mr. BROODEN then brought up the Report and reported
progress, and obtained leave to sit - tin on Thursday next.

Greeks, extracted from that veracious journal, the Orients'
Spectutor. Unhappily for the Turkish scribe, he cannot
pretend that either external misfortunes or internal dissen-
sions at this period endanger the indlientlence of the
Greeks; but as it is his province to do them injury, he
rails against then] for deposing the Arclibhhop of Naxos,
whom they bad detected secretly treating with the Car--
TAN PACIre for the submission of the island. This base
Prelate is now a prisoner at Napoli di Romania, where be
is allowed 250 piastres monthly for his support. Another
ground of abuse is the removal of .the inhabitants of the
isle of Cason. The Oriental Spectator would have pre-
ferred that they should have remained, and shared the fate
of Selo and Ipsara. It seems, however, that the Turks
are not absolutely without gaining some successes. Parties
of Greeks land occasionally on the coast of Asia Mlnor,
and carry off the cattle in the neighbourhood. In ehe of
these adventures at Chesme, a party was attacked by a
guard of Arnouts, and " two Greeks were taken, just as
they had reached the beach ; one even threw himself into
the sea, to overtake the Mistic. which had stood out to
sea from the shore. They were immediately beheaded,
and their heads sent to Scio."
The part which his MAI ESI v's Ministers are now taking
in favour of the independence of Brazil, will authorise
them to speak on one question to that new Stet; with a
voice not to be disregarded. We have no doubt, there-
fore, that the opportunity will not overlooked, to pro-
cure from the Brazilian Government en absolute and un-
qualified renunciation of the Slave Trade. ,Ifiraz:l is the
only State on the American Continent in which that odious
traffic is now tolerated, and the position in which England
stands, between the mother country' and her late colony,
must induce the latter at once to concede the point, on
the requisition of the British Government. The attain-
ment of this important object would have been.a work of
great difficulty with Portugal, but Brazil must yield it
on the moment it is asked, under the circumstances in
which she is actually situated with regard to this
country.

Majority - - 41
The Report was accordingly received.
Mr. BERRIES begged leave to state due the Chancellor of the
Exchequer would postpone his statement till Monday.
Lord PALMERSTON gave notice that he would submit the
Army Estimates to the consideration of the House on Friday.
Mr. F. BUXTON moved for copies of sundry papers con-
nected with the insurrections in Demerara, Barbadoes, &c.—
Ordered.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House
adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock.

The proceedings in Parliament last night were heightened
in effect by an unuirnally violent speech from Mr.
HurettiNsoN. On the motion having been made, that
the Bill for Suppressing the Irish Societies should be com-
mitted, Mr. Hesse, somewhat irregularly, proposed that
it should be an instruction to the Committee to introduce
a clause, requiring all officers of Government to swear that
they do not belong to an, Society of an unlawful character.
It was explained to the Honourable Gantleman, that by
the course he was taking he would only direct the Com-
mittee to do that which they could do without the order,
if they pleased, and which they could not be compelled to
do with the order, if they did not please: but he persisted.
It was satisfactorily shown by Mr. PELL, that such an en-
actment would be not simply inoperative, but actively
pernicious, as giving to each individual a power of de-
fining for hi.tself the limits of the law. It was on this
question that Mr. HE TCIIINEON had the indiscretion to
give utterance to language too much in accordance with
the spirit of the Association he was defending. It is a
charge against the Catholics that their conduct tends
directly to the subversion of public order ; and their ad-
vocates justify them by contending, that they ought to
set the authority of Government at defiance. Is this the
most convincing mode of proving thawhe Catholics are
as loyal and peaceful as they asszrt ? Amendment
of Mr. Hues was negatived without a division, the House
went into Committee on the Bill, and the Chairman
having reported progress, obtained leave to sit again to-
morrow.
