LOl2OOll,
SUNDAY, MARCH 4.

The great question of Catholic Emancipation) has
Men again brought before Parliament. Oa Wednes-
day last. Mr. Plunkett, in a speeeh which from its
comprehensiveness and depth of argument, would
have immortalized a man, thereto unknown, intro-
duced a motion for the appointment of "A committee
to consider the best means of adjusting the Catholic
claims"—on this motion a division took place, and
the declaration of A MAJORITY OF SIX, IN ITS
FAVOUR, was received with such enthusiastic cheers
as mode Westminster-hall echo to the liberal joy
Lord Castlereagh supported the motion both by his
speech and vote, and we hope and trust that his
Lordship will pay off a little of the heavy debt he
owes to his oppressed. and injured Catholic coun-
trymen by doing so throughout, with a hearty
intention of currying it through—which we know
lie has the power to do, if he really and honestly
mean to do it—persisting in the narrow policy of
the fifteenth century, is a disgrace to the
enlightened statesmen of the present age—and jus-
tice and gratitude alike call upon the British Par-
liament to grant this boon, to those to whom in a
great degree are due the laurels gained during the
Peninsular war, as well as the triumph of Wa-
terloo.

A bloodless revolution has taken place in the
island of Madeira—the soldiery united with the
citizens, and resistance on the part of the govern-

meat would have been useless—this is, as it should
be, and we ardently hope that wherever tyranny is
exercised it may speedily be replaced by a govern-
ment whose effect shall'be beneficial to the' people ;
—such a one may most properly be called " A
GLORIOUS REVOLUTION." •••••••••• Petitions pour in
from all quarters complaining but too truly of ex-
treme distress—the mechanic complains that after
several years of unexampled plenty, the prices of
provisions remain undiminished, while the success-
ful opposition of manutltcturers on the Continent,
curtails his means of disposing of his goods.—the
agriculturist complains that the bounty of Providence
fur succeeding years has been unproductive of
benefit to him—for that by every exo tion and
economy he is unable to pay his rent and maintain
his tinnily—and true as these complaints are, too
what source can they be attributed but to the per-
severance in the plans of the " I-leaven-born mi-
nister" of the " Pilot that weathered the storm"
to the prosecution fur more titan twenty years of
"u just and necessary war" in which to take the first
step, was a disgrtwe to the liberal feelings so COR•
stantly vaunted by the English nation—a disgrace
rendered indelible by her lung perseverance in it ;
and what are now the resnit.-; ? Why, England is
overwhelmed with a debt she is unable to niseharge,
the interest of which can only be paid by the ex-
hibitionof the tax-gatherers' warrant to seize—such
be your Tory triumphs! ,l r. Robinson has intro-
duced a Bill to amend the returns of averages ‘vhieli
will have really the effect of enhancing the restric-
tive importation price—while our agriculturists are
starving, much may be said in defence of such u
measure—while our mechanics are without suste-
nnace, much may be said in its condemnation—our
vicious expenditure against the liberties of France
has placed us in a dilemma, front which we see
no means of escape.

Tim LATE Don.—Another victim has been
sacrificed upon the Shrine of fidsc honour—an
amiable Wife has been deprived of an affectionate
Husband, her young family of the protection of
their tbnd Father, Sudety of an able supporter of
liberal opinion►, and Literature of one whose per-
finmances have shed a lustre on the ago in which
he lived !—Does the Duellist find in the Divine
ondemnation of the NI IntnEnLa, any exception in
favour of.fusleiottable slaughter, or does he suppose
that at that liar where his arguments will be
stripped of their deceptions, it will be admitted as
an excuse for Murder, that he was compelled by
his honour to break the command of his CltE.t run?
—We are not friends to ezpact facto laws—but we
really think a proclamation ought to be issued,
declaring the determination of his Majesty in
Council not to extend in future the Royal mercy,
to either principals or seconds who may be found
guilty, and Juries will hest do their duty by ceas-
ing to equivocate the oath they have taken—we
would farther call upon the Government, in the
event of every idoodlecs Duel to indict the parties
capitally for " shooting at with intent to kill" in
which the seconds would be included as necessaries,
ar.d we feel fully convinced that the execution of
the principals and seconds in one Duel, would do
away with a practice which disgraces us as a
nation, and which is in 'mint of fac, but a silade
better than ASSASSINATION !

Official acesrnts have !ken received from Naples
The paper called The Friend of the Com'initial,
says " We have now no alternative left—war is
determines! npon : but such a war as has rendered
the Spanish nation immortal war which leaves
the people only the choice between liberty and
death."

:NAPLES, Feb. 10.
On the requisition of the President and Secretaries
of the Government, the Prince Regent convened the
Parliament extraordinary,aceording to the Jinni pro-
scribed by the Constitution, and it was made
known that the preparatory assemblas should
meet on Monday, the 126, and by calling upon
his Royal Ifiglinews to open on the 13th the Na-
tional Parliament Extraordinary

MP •

FEIRUAItY 13 —lt is impossible to express the
joy which the extraordinary meeting of the Parlia-
liament has excited among the peopl. The great
street of Toledo wax lined with detachments of the
brave guard of'sa Tety, and of regular troops.
Salvoes of ail "lery announced the departure from
the Palace of his Royal Highness, our adored
Prince Royal, and of his august Family. His ap;
pearance produced the most lively enthusiasm, and
cries of " Long live the Prince !—" The Con-
stitution for ever !" rung to the very skies.
On the arrival of the Prince in the hall of the
National Parliament, where the galleries were
crowded with respectable citizens, his Royal High-
ness addressed the members at very great length,
to whom the President answered with professions
of their devotion to their King, his family, their
country. and their lib.,ties. He concluded by
saying—" Your Royal Highness, with that noble
frankness and integrity by which you are charac-
terised, has just pronounced these memorable words.
that you ' will be ever with us and with the nation,'
and the grateful nation will know how to maintain
eternally on the throne of the Two Sicilies the
dynasty of Charles."

At these words the hall resounded with fresh ac-
clamations, which accompanied the Prince and his
august spouse the whole way from the Parliament
to the Palace. After the Prince's departure, his
Excellency the Duke de Gallo, Secretary of State,
ad interim, for foreign afFairs, made a report to the
chamber of his mission to Laybach.
His Excellency then communicated, Ist, the
notes of the Foreign Ministers in reply to that of his
Nl:jeFty, which had been transmitted to Congress.
2. The notes presented to the Prince Regent by the
Foreign Ambassadors at Naples, with the Prince's
answers. The notes of the British Ambassador
at Naples, in reply to a demand of explanations
with regard to the squadron of English men of war
at anchor in the Bay. t. The note of the French
Charge d'Affairs, in reply to a similar demand of
explanation, touching the continuance of the French
squadron, in the same port. The President then .
named a commission, composed of several eminent
members, to examine the above documents.
After the report of the deputy, ehairman
of the comanission, the Parliament adopted, without
a dissenting voice, the proposed measures for the
defence of the country.

At the Levee on Ftitlay last, a petition from the •
House of Assembly tt .Jamaica, was presented to
his Majesty by Alt. Gorge Hihert, agent for the
island, accAolipani:sl 'by Ale•srs. C Ellis, G. W.
Taylor, and W. Dickenson, members of the House
of Commons. The petition represents in expressive
tet.ns, the state of which Jamaica, and the old
lititish NVest India colonies 6,•enerally, are reduced
by the inadequate retains which their staple com- •
inoditics obtain at market, owing to the but•then-
some duties oppressive regulations, and to the
advantages which tivul colonies and pu.sessions
enjoy, unlettered by the restrictions of our colonial
system. The prayer of the assembly is, that his
Majesty will be graciously pleased to extend to them
that prutection, Ixalt immediate and permarteut,
tvhich their earnest representations have hitherto
tailed to obtain.

'the King, assisted by her Royal Highness the
Augusta, will hold a drawing room, at the
Palace of luekingham-house, on the 32d of the
ensuing month. It is said, too, that his Majesty wul
give it suits of six several balls in tile course of the
season, at Catiton Palace; anti that the invitations
will be unrestricted by any political feeling.
The army estimates for the present year have
