sbould be recollected that he has :been recently
to favour by the very Powers whose
controul,, it is pretended,- he trying •to un-
dermine., The project, we ccinfess, . would be
.worthy 'of so patriotic a Prince, and that it
would 'be highly creditable to our own Go-
vernment,. will be also acknowedged; but we
much fear that circumstances 'are .no't yet fa-
vourable to its. execution. Another report
sAYs; that'it new Envoy from Laity is at this
moment in Paris, at the special request, too, of
the French Government. This rumour is certain.
ly.mOre probable than any of the' preceding ; but
still it stands upon very loose authority. .If true,
it is creditable to the prudence of the French
Government, as any other hut an amicable.ar-
rangement of its-differences with that new Power,
is utterly impracticable. ,

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Abstract of Returns printed by the order
of the House of Commons respecting the pay-
ment of the wages of labour out of the poor
rates, is a document of considerable importance.
We observe with much pleasure that the number
of unemployed labourers asking for assistance
from the parish, is much diminished within the
last few years. This is a gratifying proof of
the improvement of agriculture. The perni-
cious practice of paying the labourers a part
of their wages out of the poor rates, is continued
in too many districts. The condition of the
labour& is almost uniformly better in point of
wages where he is left to his own unaided
exertions. The appointment of select vestries
and assistant oversers has been generally
beneficial. In a few instances, the result is
doubtful, but the advantages in most of the ex-
periments have been decidedly favourable. The
rate of wages, it will be observed, is much the
highest in the Northern counties, in which pa-
rochial relief is administered with much more
regard to its proper application, than in other
parts of the country. Married labourers re-
ceive no allowance for their children except in
case of illness, or where the families are ex-
traordinarily large. The peasantry, we know,
are there as comfortable and happy as their
situation "in life will permit them to be. Im-
provident marriages seldom occur ; and the la-
bourers have a just pride in preserving their cha-
racters from the degradation of pauperism.

[THE TIMES.]

A singular charge is brought against the Irish
Morning Register by a paper of great respecta-
bility, the Freeman? Journal. It would appear
that, either through some strange blunder, or
some less_ excusable jealousy, a pretended list of
the Catholic Resolutions as passed at the Ag-
gregate Meeting on Wednesday last, was furnish-
ed to the Freemans' Journal from •the office of
the Register; in which were found two which had
been rejected, instead of passed, at the meet-
ing. A copy, moreover, of the Resolutions, after
each in succession had been actually
,passed,
was handed by Mr..O'Gorinan to- the reporter
of the Register, which renders it more extra-
ordinary that aderroneous- list should have been
printed at the office of the latter journal, before
its delivery to the coteniporary newspapers.—
As good faith is essential to the moral influence,
or, in other words, to the existence' of the pub-
lic press, the above incident we consider worth
remarking, for the sake of drawing forth, what
we trust will be afforded, .a satisfactory explana-
tion from .the 'Morning Register. We shall
merely add, that of the spurious.resolutioos, one
was so. absurd and injurious to the Catholics
as to render it scarcely imaginable 'how its
transmission from the official paper of the Catholics
could have been a matter of design. It pledged
the Catholics as a body to endeavour the removal
from office of that party in the Cabinet whi,rh
opposed their claims. Now this would- be a
gross injustice, because the question is not made
a party one by any members of the Cabinet. Its
friends as well as adversaries _act individually,
and in no other character; set much so, that in
fact no two of those who resist -the claims agree
in the grounds of their opposition. Nothing,
therefore, could show greater- want of tact than
the publishing such a resolution, which, we are
happy to learn, was rejected at once by the good
sense of the Catholic leaders.

LMOItNiNG lIERALD.I

Las night, in the House of Commons, in a con,
versation as to allowing a sent from the
Lords, to have precedence of the East India
Judges' Bill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
adverted to the advanced state' of the Session,
and urged the propriety of first getting rid of
the Bills that had not yet . beeu to the Lords,
to discussing those measures that had been al-
ready agreed to by, and • had come from, the
Upper House. Having disposed of such busi-
ness', while the Lords were' • discussing mea-
sures forwarded from the Commons, the Com-
mons could proceed with the Bills communi-
cated by the Lords—and thus any unneces-
sary protraction of the Session would be avoided.
And,• when it was remembered' how the season
was advancing—saying nothing of the " hot
weather"-'—he thought all would be desirous to
avoill_suCh protraction. The Chancellor of the
Exchequer's suggestion was acquiesced in, and.
the East -India Judges' , Bill was proceeded
with in the presence of twenty or thirty Mem-
bers {forty being. required to make a House) ;
and the Bills from the. Lords were = accord-
ingly made to give way to those still before
the Commons. The Chancellor of the Exche,
quet to-day moves, in a Committee on the Surplus
of Grants' Bill, the" Approbation Clause." That
'clase will enumerate all the Grants of the Sessions
and the Appropriation of the same ; and-it is
`generally deemed to be the last Goverment
measure of the -Session: That being diSposed
of,• the Prorogation usually soon follows. It
is calculated about the House and *at• the Go-
vernment Offices, that the Government buSiness
in' the Commons_may be got through by•the latter
end of next week ; that by the 28th inst. the seve
rat Reports from the different Committees may be,
presented ; and that,after .waiting two or three.
days; to give time to the Lords to dispoe of
