Habeas Corpus Stapetuticas Ad.—Ministers, it seems,
feel some anxiety respecting the importance attached to
the suspension of this great safeguard of thelPferti es of
Englishmen, and do not wish to have it hurried through
Parliament as mere routine business. This may be
gathered from the following observations of Lord Liver-
pool, in the House of Lords, on Satarday. On the
message from the Commons being announced, stating,
that that House had agreed to the Bill, with an Amend-
ment, the Noble Lord said, be peivented that the
amendment made was of considerable importance. It
was originally proposed to continue the operation of the
Act in question, for six weeks afier the re-assembling
of Parliament. By the erne/Om:nit now insatuted by
the Honourable the House of Commons, the Bill was
further extended to the Ist of March next. Under a
circumstance of such importance, he did not feel war-
ranted in proposing the adoption of the amendment,
without some notice, and his Lordship moved that it be
taken into consideration this day, and that the question
should take precedence of all other business.
An official detailed account of the recapture of Bar-•
celona, by the Spanish Royalists, has appeared in a
recent Caraccas Gazette. It appears, that the defend-
ers of Barcelona were enthusiastic in their resistance to
the besieging force—that the Spanish Commander sum-
moned them to surrender at discretion—that on his
summons being rejected, he renewed the attack, and
, having prevailed at the close of a tremendous conflict,
put 700 men, the remnant of the garrison, with half.
I that number of women and children, to-the sword.-

The American Congress has solved to negociare
with all the Powers the Abolition of the Slave Trade,
and t'ie establishment at Sierra Leona, or some other
Rolla of the African coast, of a colony of men of colour,
free, to be formed at the expence of the Government.
We are assured that the differences which existed
between Austria and Spain, relation to the pretensions
of the Queen of Etruria and the Duchy of Parma, are
now adjusted.
The Archduchess Leopoldine, .the Princess Royal
of Brasil, arrived at Florence, on the morning of the
13th. She was received at the Palace of the Pitti by
all the Royal Family, and by his Royal Highness
Prince Leopold of Naples, who hid arrived there with
his august consort from Leghorn. The suite of the
Archduchess is composed' of 140 persons.
The new Speaker of the HOuse of Commons so
ingenuously makes mistakes, and so often throws
himself upon the indulgence of those whom be should
direct, that some of his ftiendithave advised hint to
apply to the See of Rome for a general indulgent.,
which may qualify all errors past, present, and to
come.

Otavt.st Tit Sev.—The exposure of the machina-
tions of this man, and admission by Ministers that he
was in their employ, added to the, evidence of Castle
on the State Trials, have created •an unexampled sen-
sation in the minds of aU classes—The Editor of the
Leeds Mercury, in his recent paper, persists in the
accuracy of his first statement, and gives in support of
it the d: orations of a Mr. Seholes and of T. Murray
(the latter one of the persons .tien at Thornhill
Lees), who were applied to b Oliver, and which de-
clamtions. contain further of Oliver's villainy.—

ance in Yorkshire nine or ten weeks ago, and that they
believe he has been travellingia Nottinghamshire, Der-
brill ire, Stalfordshire,and Lancashire, labouring no doubt
in his vocation.—ln conchision the Editor says, that
great dissatisfaction no doubt exists, and will continue
as long as the public distress prevails, but bad there
been no Mr. Oliver, there would have been no plot.—
Mr. Maier, lately tried thy a libel, has written a letter
to the Editor of a Daily Paper, declaring that Oliver,
the spy, visite I him recently in the the King's Bench
Prism, and among other tiling endtstvonred to per-
muffle him (Wooler) to take steps and follow him to the
