The proceedings in the House of Commons last

night were of .a more spirited and lively nature
than has usually been the case of late. They
arose out of the motion of Mr. S. Back: for the
production of a dispatch from the Loan LIEU..
TENANT of Ireland (presumed to exist), respect-
ing the origin, nature, Sand extent of religious
animosities in that country, and the best means of.
allaying them. The motion met with the decided
opposition of the Government, on the ground
that if any such document did exist, the produc.

on of it could not be attended with advantage to

I reland,containing, as it inust,relations of riots and
excesses ofall sorts. Mr.lticE eventually withdrew

s motion, having obtained what he most desired

Iy it5 an Aipportunity for the !louse to record its
sentiments, on the rejection of the Catholic Re.
lief Bill by the House of Lords. Mr. BltatiollAst
said, " to the wople of Ireland, he would now
recommend submission to the Law—he agreed
with his Honourable. Friend in counselling union

—above all things union." There is much wis-
dom in this advice, and we trust, coming from
so firm a. friend of the. cause, the Irish Ca-

t►iolics u ill follow it. Submission to established
authority is the" best answer to the charge of
" divided allegiance. that has been exhibited

against them and sure we are, if the feeling
of the people on this subject is in that passive
state it N represented to be by Mr. CANNING,
that submission will more than any thing else
tend to remove any fears that may be entertained
00 the subject. It is also to be observed, that
the commencement of the first Session of a new
Parliament is the best time to bring forward such
a question, because the new right (if conferred)
will not be brought into action all at once, for
the first time, but only by degrees, as opportuni-
ties occur ; and thus the people will become fa-
miliarized with it before a general election shall
call upon them to exercise it to the fullest ex-
'tent. Several Members of the Administration
declared, that if they thought the resignation of
their offices would be favourable to the Catholic
cause, they would not hesitate to resign, but on
I the contrary they felt assured that such resigns_
Lion would be attended with great disadvantages
to the public affairs without producing the de-
sired purpose. Mr. CANNING, indeed, went so
far as to declare that his "relinquishment of
office at present would only serve to bring
on public evils of the most tremendous character,
as well as to throw the prospects of the object it
was intended to serve still further back than
ever." We are fully persuaded of the disastrous
character of the evils, such resignations would
produce, but hope, how anxious soever these of.

' ficial personages may be to secure to the six ma-
lions of Catholics what they deem to be their just
rights, t.haktherwill at the same time, consider the
Claim's the ininiehse malority of the subjects
•of the KING . hay? on' them , for their services,
when the relinquishment cpf office by, them is to
be' attended' with public evils of such tre-
mendous character., Whilit, however, we thus
deprecate their resignation, because the Cabinet
is hot united `on one point only, hoWever-impor-
tant that one point may be, and not Withstanding
we can give these Gentlemenzeredit for the sin-
cerity of their declaration. on this behaff.
we are compelled •to say 'that we are not of
that
.number who believe no Adminiitration
could be formed Withotit the assistance of 'the
,friends of Catholk Emancipation-. We know it
has been the fashion of late, bothin Parliarinent
and with the public journals,' to assert this; i a
fact, but for our Part we never could find (Mt ori
what, ,grounds; and' we therefore think thit 'if
these high official personages were to try the 'ex.
periment they might perchance find them Selves
lamentably mistaken.

The French Chambers. being

' The Chamber of Commerce at Bordeaux having expressed To •
the French Government some gears, relative to-the piracies exer-
cised by insurgent privateers on French vessels in the Gulf' of
MeXico, and especially near the Isle of Cuba, his Excellency
the Minister of the Marine ha's lost no time izi informing the!
Chamber of Commerce, that Rear-Admiral Jaurien, command-
ing the naval division in the Antilles, had been instructed a;
far back as the month of October last year, to' detach some- Of •
the vessels under his command to the Havannah. The Cap-
tains of the
.vessels charged with this mission have also received
orders tO support the applications made to the local 'authorities
by M. Angelucci, Inspector-General' of the French comineree'
in the isle oft:oi.

The letters from
,Madrid of the 17th, which we this moment
receive, make no mention of the Mutiny-of the garrisOn of
Seville, of which the Constitutionne/ spoke some days •ago".-,- •
There is.probably just as much foundation for the news of
insurrection of the garrison of Santander, with which it enter- •
tains"us to-clay.
That journal dreams of nothing but troubles and war. It-is
with the same view of agitating people's minds that it announces, •
to-day that an European Congress will beheld at Milan. We
said a long time ago, that the COngress at Milan, for the affairs •
of America and Greece, would be like that.at Paris, which. thi
liberal journal so positively
.announced.
It was said at Constantinople On the, Nth, that Navarino was
Still • besieged, and that Ibrakiia Pacha 'was' on the pdint Of
making, himself master of it. " It is certain, however, that the.
Egyptians were repulsed, in the first attack.
It is affirmed that the Diike of Nortlinmherland, after 'the •
Coronation of his Majesty, will go to the Court of the Nether-
lands, to be present at the festivities in the city,of Brnssell on ,
the marriage of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick.

these few days a swarm of inspectors and agenti of, the policg
have arrived from Paris, to keep order in this city during the-

troops, who are .beginning to arrive they will consist ,of
a part of the Royal Guard of the . first battalions' of some
regiments of the 'line, and some of the light 'infantry, all
chosen troops. All 'the Foreign Ambassadors who are to be
present at the Coronation have had the finest lodgings engagq:
that_ they could procure, but none of them will display more
magnificence than the Duke of Northumberland. The Hata
du Moulinet, which his Excellency will occupy is ready sad new
furnished throughout; and several persons belonging to his suite,
have already arrived. We expect also several Soreteign Princes
of Germany. The birds are being colleeted which are to be let' •

A German Paper has the following article, from rrankfort
—" A great German Power has Made very pressing'.appli&:'
tions to the Government of the Netherlands to induce 14, to sittvi
dify the commercial, system which it .has hitherto followeile.
particularly with respect to the transit of gVain and otherTagi:l-
- produce of Girmany. Notviithstanding the
tions of . some Journals .to the contrary, a favourable..
issue to the negociations is carrying ,on at Stuttgard.. for,.
effecting a commercial union between various Germaii.
States. Should this project. be - realised, we may- expect.
to see measures of reprisal ,adopted with.. respect to: those
neighkouring Powers who fetter our commerCe which will be
found more efficacious than those .which liave hilherto been erti=•
ployed by each Government in particular."

The Dutch Papers of the 25th instant contain
information from Corfu of the 26th April, 1),-
which it appears, from vagious authentic quarters,
that, the Egyptian army besieging Navaritio bad,

[BRITISH PRESS.]
-Lord-.Rolland last night moved the serppd.
readirg..of the Bill. for abolishing the laws ,iof
and
foifeitnre attaint of blood. - Some part 'of
the
:Noble Lord's speech was meant to apply to
another subject, and might, we think, therefore,
as 'well have been spared. The principal argu-
ment an which his Lordship relied, was the in-
justice of inflicting upon the guilty any punish-
ment which in its consequences may affect the
innocent., It is impOssible to resist an appeal to
our humanity in favour of the unfortunate chil-
dren and cottttection3 of those who fall by judg..
tent of law. Our feelings are even sometimes
touched by the sufferings and remorse of the cri-
minal himself. But it would not, therefore, he
wile or just to abate the exaction of the dreadful
penalty. It is impossible to punish any man to
any extent, hoWever trifling, without doing some
injury to his relatives, especially his children.—
If they losse nothing, they have his infamy fasten-
ed upon them. In the case of high treason there
is less disgrace ; and it is consequently necessary
the punishment should be more extensive, in or-
der to be equally efficacious. The single question
is, whether 'the law of forfeiture has not a direct
tendency to deter men of rank and property from
engaging in schemes Subversive of the public wel-
fare. If it has that tendency, there can be no
doubt of the Wisdom and justice of continuing
its operation. Children reap the benefit of the
talents and virtues of their fathers, and it is un-
avoidable that they should share the evil effects
resulting from vice and crime. Nor ought it to
be-otherwise. No motive is stronger with men
of character and eminence than the love of their
offspring. No law can bind them to good beha-
viour so completely as that which threatens their
children with beggary, if they disturb the pub-
lic tranquillity. The Lord Chancellor was of
opinion that the law of forfeiture might be with-
draVvn frOm the crimes of petty treason and mur-
der. The -laws • respecting the corruption of
blood•seem to be quite defenceless. Lord Hol-
land's.rnotion was lost by a majority or three.—
We wish his Lordship Would- follow the advice
of Lord Redesdale, and bring in a Bill for re-
pealing that part of the existing law which no-
body wishes to have continued. An animated
end important debate took place last night in the
House of Commons, on the motion of Mr. Spring
Rice, for the production of the official dispatches
of the Marquis Wellesley respecting the state of
Ireland. All the principal speakers in the House
took part in the discussion, which was prolonged
to a late hour. The motion was finally with-
drawn. We shall revert to the subject at our
leisure.

' [THE TIMES.]
By his Majesty's ship Pyramus, letters were
received yesterday from Mexico of the 20th 'of
Defarch, and from Ilavannah of the 26th of April.
Tbose: from Mexico are not so recent as some
previously received, but they are more explicit
e.Kt the state of public affairs, and are, on the
whole, highly satisfactory. Much of the specie
concealed or buried during the Revolution was
gradually coming into circulation, now that con-
fidence had been restored by the establishment of
the federal system. It is ,ascertained also, that
during the preceding twelve months there had
been coined,' in the Mint of Mexico alone,
7,600,000 of
rdollars: from the other provinces
no return bad been made, but the quantity coin-
ed there was considerable. These cnuses com-
bined had produced a great comparative Rhond-
a-ace of money, which had had a most remark-
able effect in restoring the equilibrium of the
eichinge, to the great advantage of the Govern-
ment,whose bills on England had previously -been
drawn on very injurious terms. The rate of
the exchange bad altered, within a few weeks,
from 60 to 48, giving a benefit of 20 per cent.
in favour of bills drawn on England. The
report of operations in 'the mining districts was
favourble : some of the associations were selling
large quantities. of ore weekly at the mouth of
the mines, for which immediate payment was made
by those persons who undertook the process of
smelting it, and of conveying it afterwards to the
mint to be coined. The process .of smelting was,
h4Wever, to be carried on by the associations
themselves, as soon as the 'requisite establish-
ments could be formed. The population of the
raining districts, whose previous- state of suffering
can only be comprehended by imagining the
situation in which Yorkshire would be placed by
the sudden cessation of the. manufacture of wool-
lens, were again full of life and activity. All
the accounts. received at the capital from the pro-
vinces evinced them to be tranquil, and disposed
to cement the great union which had been form-
ed.—The letters from flavannah neither contain
news, nor any indications of that separation from
Spain, which catastrophe has been mentioned by
the French Papers as having actually arrived.

• [NEW TINTES.I
:An Aggregate Meeting of Roman Catholics
was held on Monday in Dublin, which postponed
kiTdeliberhtions till the Bth of June, by which
*Tie the Catholic Deputation is expected to re-
ti ti' horn London. Ainpngst the desultory con.
iirstition'Of the day, hOsiever, one suggestion
toitsilirewti out which may 'lead to material con.
sertisenVi. Mr. Shiel proposed that every Ca.
titolic Priest in Ireland should furnish a census
of the: Catholic and Protestant population in
his parish. is perfectly disgraceful to the
Statesmen of all parties that some such step
bas not been .taken long ago. It is. a mon.
sivOtts absurdity that the Empire should year
after year be -convulsed by disputes about the
Catholics, and yet nobody can tell their num-
a,. Million As to the relative
proportion which they bear to the Protest,
ants-the tags is still worse. One Honourable
M'etriber stands up- in his place in Parliament,
altd asserts that they are twelve to one ; another
says' they are not two to one. It is really difficult.
to conceive troir a British Legislature, in. an' age
t_ll:,present) can be so totally destithe of
