pursuance.of an order made by the present Lord ,i Chief Laron,
Fees have been received as tar his Lordship's signature to a

" 8. That it ;is stated in the aforesaid Ninth Report, that,
'pursuant to an order made by the present Lord Chief Baron,
the ancient Fees so parable on perusing and signing a Decree,
has been collected on the previous proceeding of setting down
the Cause for 'leering, notwithstanding which a like Fee was
:again demanded and paid to the Lord Chief baron on making
-up the Decrees, although one only of such Decrees appears- to
have been exemplified ; that a Select Committee 'having con.

present Session-of Parliament, a Report- has been presented,
• adverting to the alteretion of Fees from Irish 'to British errs
rency, to the Fees on WrCs, the Fees on 'Domes, and the
era on Taxation of Costs.".- • -
The first Resolution was read a first
On the motion that it be read a second time,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL expressed his convietion
that no corrupt motive could be attributed to the Learned
Judge. If the resolutions were agreed to, however, they would
imply a censttre on Hai, unless followed up by.some such Re-
solution as one which he (the Solicitor-Generel) had prepared
without concert with any body, and Which was to this etlina,
viz.:—
`That it does not appear to this. House that there are
.dent ground,: to eecri4e the alteration stated to have been made
by the Chief Baron of the Exchequer its Ireland, in the fees of
that Court, to any improper motive on the pars of that Judge."
The Resolutions contained in the Report of the Committee
were all read and agreed to.
Mr. Secretary CANNING then observed, that he thought it
desirable, befete his Hon. and Learned Friend's Resolution

Was put, to ascertain whether the Hon. Member for Limerick
had any Resolution of opinion to propose.
Mr. SPRING RICE observed, that lie had formerly been
prohibited from proposing Resolutions of opinion, and been told
that he must confine himself to Resolutions of fact. Ile was
therefore not prePr.red at the tuomcnt with-any such Resolution.
Mr. lIUMI eiought the proceeding of the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman not at all consonant to the understanding
which had been pome to On the subject.
The SOIACITOIt-GENERA 1. explained.
Dr. LusuiNwroN conipiain,d that 'hub. FA eat
the Member for Limerick war entirtAy taken by surprise
.

Mr. SCA RLETT was strongly 'inclined to- concur in'the
substance of his lion. and Learned Friend's Resolntion. Ile
Certainly did not believe that the conduct of the Learned Judge
in question. was imputable tb corrupt motives. • lie' suggested,
however, that it might be expedient to' word the "Resolution to•
the following elect .
" That it appears by the fifth Report of the Commissioners,
that for the last one liundred years a discretionary power has
been exercised by the Courts of Justice.in Ireland, and by some
of the indiVidual Judges, to increase the feeS of the Courts,
from which in some instances the Judges themselves derived
advantage. Thatby a recent Act of Parliament all fees of that
nature have been abolished. That under the circumstances of
the' case the House did not think it. expedient to adopt any
further proceeding with respect to Chief Baron O'Grady."
Mr. 14Y was not of opinion that tbe Honourable.Mem,
ber for Limerick could justly complain of being taken by
surprise.
11.1 r. COURTENAY never understood that the delay in
liming a resolution of opinion, grounded on the Resolutions
of fact, was to be the delay of.a Sessiou. It might, however,
be expedient to adjourn the discussion.
Mr. S. RICE said, it had been distinctly understood that the
Object of confining his Resolutions to mere matters of fact, was
to give the Chief Baron fair Parliameistary notice of what was
going on, that he Might be prepared to explain; and defend his
conduct. , Now, however, it was suddenly proposed to agree to
an exculpatory Resolution.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the question on which he
was called upon to decide was, not Whether the Chief Baron was
guilty or innocent, but whether he should be put on his trial or
not. He (Mr. Peel) was for not putting hint on his trial.
Colonel BARRY wished the lion. and Learned Member for
Peterborough would adopt the precise words of the Report of
the Commissioners.
Mr. SCA RLETT consented to do so, and observed, that his
Resolution would then be to the following effect :
That it is stated in the Fifth Report of the Commissioners,
that it is not their province to discuss how far, or within what
limits, the Judges of the superior Courts of Law are authorized
to establish new or increased fees for their own services;' but
that it will besten from the table subjoined (to their Report),
that a discretion of this nature has, in fact, been exercised to a
considerable extent at some period or periods within the last
one hundred years ; and that, during the time of the present
Chief Justice of the Coixtmon Pleas, such an exercise of judi-
cial authority appears to have,occurrett in three instances.'"
Mr. O'GRADY. said, OM he shOuld be perfectly satisfied
with that ResoltitiOn, if there were added to it the following
sentence from the Ninth Report Of the Commissioners, p. 22 :
" " If the amount of the increase of the Judicial Fees in the
Court of -Exchequer be gre4ter than in t4e other two Courts,
the more exter.mvejuristlietiOn of that, Court ought to be recol-
lected." ' • •

A destiltory conversation ensued, in which Mr. Gou
Mr. Wynn, 31r, Canning, 'Mr. Scarlett, &c. participated.—
Eventually, it was agreed to adjourn she further discussion of
the subject to this day, with an understanding that it should
precede all other public business.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and at

[BY A 9PECIAL 141VISEXCEIL.1
We have intelligence from pen. Bordesoult, dated Port St.
Mary; the 26th June. Rear-Admiral Hamelin had communi-
cated to him the instructions of the Minister of the Marine;
he was ready to second in every thing the troops on shore, and
had made arrangements with Olen. Borclesoult, and had an-
nounced to him that the squadron was eagerly desirous of sig.
nalizing itself.
We are certain that the members of the Royal Family are
well, the King is kept in sight. Nothing can any longer ar-
rive by land to the Revolutionists. The boats which they left
us on the Guatialquiver are assembled in difierent ports of the
Bay. These means, placed ai the disposal of Rear-Admiral
Hamelin, will aid him in preventing any thing front entering
into the place on the sea side. It is stated that there are not
more than 15 days provisions in Cadiz. The harvest having
been a month later than usual, prevented its being provisioned,:
and there tieing now a considerable augmentation of the popu-
lation, the effects of scarcity are already felt. The loaf of 21bs.
was sold for 46 quartos, and the price was rising every. day.
Bailasteros has been appointed Commander in Chief of the
Isle of Leon, in the room of Villa Campa. The latter was dis.
missed for havin,, written to the Cortes in the same style as the
Count the Abisbal. The Journals of the Cortex say, that they
can no longer confide the command of troops, except to Chiefs
who are compromised.
Cadiz has been burdened with a loan which, to every refrae:.
tory person, is to be raised 10 per cent., besides other rigorous
measures. _ _

On the arrival of General Bourmont from Seville, our land
and sea forces would concert a general plan of operations. Tri.
umphant In this point of the Peninsula, the war will probably
terminate throughout Spain, which will then enjoy the most
protbund tranquillity. •
I send you an extract from the Redactor General of Cadiz.
Calm, Ju NE 23.-1 n the Sitting of yesterday, the cones
were informed that a convoy had arrived from Seville, under
the escort of a gun-boat, and also the steam-boat. which his
Majesty had ordered to be transferred to this road, that it might
not fall into the hands of the enemy.
A dispatch was also read from the Secretary at War, at-
,nouncingthat the-King had appointed Lieut.-Gen. Don Gaye-
tano Valdez Political and Military Governor of Cadiz, and
Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Force; Lieut.-General Don
Nliguel d'Alava Inspector-General of Artillery and Engineers;
and Major-General Don Raphael de Riego, second in com-
mand of the army under the orders of Gen. Ballasteros.

Letters, dated 10 this morning, from Port St. Mary state,
that nothing certain is known us to the entry of the French
into Xeres. It appears it was only a band of IT or 14 factious

SIXTH CORPS.
Orn °NA., JUNE 29.--Nothing is doing in Catalonia; there
has not been a single action since the defeat of Mina. The dif-
ferent corps were marching to fortn the investment of Barce-
lona, which, as already stated, ult.; to take place the sth or tith

Pmus, JULY 6.—Theleur of yesterday gave in its
official part the following dispatch :
".Toulon, July 3, in the Evening.

THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE TO THE MINISTER

or THE MARINE AND COLONIES.

" I.ly a caphulation, signed the 12th June, the Governor of
Algeciras has delivered over to the squadron of Rear Admiral
Rotours, consisting of the Centaur, Trident, and la Unerriere,
four French vessels which haci been taken into that port by
Spanish privateers, namely, the Grand Corneille, the lune, the
Ls Moir, and tilris."
Letters from ladrid speak of a brisk engagement in Gallicia
between our tr pr and the Spanish Constitutionalists.—The
dz.:tails have n:.t been published, and there is much contradic-
tion respecting then ; it is said that General Morino was
slightly wounded in the arm.- A French regiment has left
Madrid for Wilicia.

It has been'tlecided, in the bureaux of the Quotidinne, that
the College dis Qualms Nall&ne shall henceforth be called the
Cale,;;.' des Quutref Couromia.

[ PRIVATE, COttnER,PONDENCE.I
-,PERPIOSAN, JUN F. 21.1.—The nth line set out to-morrow
for Gerona, and the day after the Ithli line will arrive here, in-
tended for the same destination. These two, regiments will
term - a brigade. The':%lajor-General who is to take the com-
mand is expected immediately.
Every thing announces that the Marshal is about to make a
movement. It is said he his received orders to make great de-
monstrations before liareeion, The Inhabitants of Upper Cata-
lonia ..however, believe that he will leave troops- at Well- and
at Ofot, and that thes,e. garrisons- will be even reinforced by
a . battalion of French troops. • Manresa will doubtless be
sacrificed, for it appears we only • occupy it to keep up a
communication between the army and the corps of Generol
Molitor, when the latter occupied Balaguer and Fraga. if
we abandon that town, there is no doubt that the'Constitu-
tionalists, who form the majority, ,111 assume the upper hand.
A. sort of terror has prevailed amongst the Royalists in the
Communes, not occupied by our troops, since they learnt
that six Guerrillas were organized, and had quitted Barce-
lona, commanded by six chiefs, amongst whom are Puigbali
and rabregas. It is even said, that when Mina descended
the Segre, and approached The plain of Urgel, (the plain of
Urgel is far distant from the Sett :tl'Urgel, it is on the left bank
of the Segre, to the south of Balat,,,tier), all the 'inhabi-
tants of that part of the country took up arms and joined
him; and the same is said of the. plain called Camp de Tar-
ragon°, where it is stated that General Manso is himself at
the head of the Guerrilla.
FRAN x rya ter, J 3O.—The suppression of the German
Observer has been closely followed by n repressive measure
rated againSt another liberal Journal, whiCh expressed itself
in an unguarded manner respecting the late changes in the
Ministry at St. Petershurgh. It is it Gazette little known so
foreigners, printed at Hildburzhausen, the Editor of which
allowed himself some pleasantry respecting the journies on ac-
count of sickness of some Russian Nobles. It is stated, that
trAnatett, the Rtoorian 'Minister, insisted on the Diet pra-
nouneing the suppression of this Journal ; but same:extenuat-
ing observations were io4dc in its favour by Count Beast,
the Minister of the Duchies of Saxony, and the Russian
Minister contented himself with the reprimand which the
Government' of Hildburghausen has addressed to the writers
who edit the Journal in question, and which they have been
obliged to publisli.
