EA ItTUUUAKES.- By letters received on Satur-
day from St. Jago de Chile, it appears that on
the night of the 19th November a shock of an
earthquake was experienced, the .most severe
ever remembered in that country, Its duration
was of the very extraordinary space of four
•
minutes, during which the earth 'is deseribed as
being in continued motion, resembling the rolling
of a heavy sea. Its effects were most fatal at
Valparaiso, where, it is said, few houses were
left standing : of those but a.. small proportion
were habitable. There is some variation,' how
ever, in the accounts as respects Valparaiso, and
as it is natural to expect, under the first impres-
sion of so awful a calamity, that there should be
much exaggeration, it IS probable that has been
the case in the present instance. The loss of
lives in :Valparal4.P.ts steed at from 15Q to 200,
among whom are some English. The only'
names mentioned are' those of. a Mr. Stevenson
and of Mr. and Mrs. Kelly. Most of the villages
in. Chile had suffered severely, and some of them
were destroyed.
No intelligence had been re-
ceived from Conception, but equally dreadful
accounts were anticipated from thence. At
Santiago the shuck hid beep comparatively
slight ; no lives_ were lost there, hor any
houses thrown down, but all the churches except,
three had been. so much injsired as to require
taking down, and it would be necessary to re-
huild many of the houses before they could be
rendered habitable. From the 19th up to the
21th of November, which is the date of the
letters, slight,shocks had occurred daily, so that
many of the inhabitants slept in tents without the
city, only venturing into- their houses to take
meals, during which time all the doors' were kept
open.—Letters from Naples of the 11th inst. re-
ceived on Saturday, state that a severe shock of
an earthquake was felt on. the sth at Palermo,J
by which a number of houses and churches were'
destroyed, 21 persons killed, and 125 wounded.l
The damage done to the city alone was esti-
mated at 50,0001. It was not. ascertained that
any other part of Sicily had suffered.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

FAGGOT VOTERS!

A BILL to prevent OCCASIONAL FREEHOLDERS
from VOTING in the ELECTIONS of MEMBERS to
serve in PARLIAMENT, for BOROUGHS in ENG-
LAND and WALES.

Whereas it frequently happens in towns and boroughs, where
the right of election of Members to serve in Parliament, is in
persons having a right to vote for or in respect of lands, tene-
ments, or hereditaments within the same, and much trouble,
expence and litigation is created by occasional voters, to the
great prejudice of the bona fide freeholders, and other real
voters, to whom the right of rending Members to Parliament
justly belongs.
And whereas it is resonahle and proper that provision should
be made for the due election of Members to serve in Parlia-
ment, for such towns and boroughs, in that part of Great Bri-
tain called England and the dominion of Wales, in which per-
sons have a right to vote for electing such Members, for or in
respect of freehold lafids, hnuses, tenements or hereditaments
within the same ;

Therefore, be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Ma-
jesty, by and with theadvice and consent of the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal, and Comthons, in this present Parliament as-
sembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the
day of every person demanding to vote for the
election of any Member to serve in Parliament for any Town
or Borough in that part of Great Britain called England or do-
minion of Wales, for and in respect of any freehold estate, shall
(instead of the oath now required by an Act partied in the 25th
year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Third, inti-
tuled "An Act to limit the duration of polls and scrutinies, and
for making other regulations touching the election of members
to serve in Parliament for places within England and Wales.
and for Berwick-upon-Tweed, and also for removing
culties which may arise • for want of returns being made of
members to serve in Parliament,") before he is admitted to
poll at the said election (if required by the candidates, or any
of them, or any person' aving a right to vote at the said elec-
tion), first take the oath (or, being a Quaker, the solemn
affirmation) following, viz.

" You swear (or, being a Quaker, you solemnly affirm),
That you have a freehold estate, consisting of (specifying the
nature of such freehold estate, whether messuage, land, rent,
tithe, or what else; and if such freehold estate consists in mes-
suages, lands, rents or tithes, or what else, then specifying in
whose occupation the same are ; and if rent, then specifying
the names of the owners or possessors of the lands or tenements
out of which such rent is issuing, or some or one of them) lying
or being in the town (or, borough, as the case may be), and
that you have been in the possession or in the receipt of the
rents and profits thereof for your own use, above
calendar months, (or, that the same came to you within the
time aforesaid; by descent, marriage, marriage settlement, de-
vise or promotion to a benefice in a church, or by promotion to
an office), and that such freehold estate has not been granted
or made to you fraudulently on purpose to qualify you to give
your vote; and that the place,of your abode is at
in ~ and that you are twenty-one
years,,as you believe, and that you have not been polled before
at this election." . • .

. ,
Which oath (or solemn affirmation) the returning officer or of for the time being'of such towns or boroughs shall, by him-
self or themselves, or by his or their deputy or deputise, 'os by
such clerk or clerks as shall be by him or them sworn and ap-
pointed for the taking of the Poll, is and are hereby required
to administer ; and in case any freeholder or ocher person,
taking the said oath or affirmation hereby appointed, shall
thereby commit wilful perjury, and be thereof convicted, and
if any person do unlawfully and corruptly procure or suborn
any freeholder, or other person, to take the said oath or affir-
mation, in ordeeto be polled, whereby he shall commit such
wilful perjury, and shall be thereof convicted, he and they for
every such 'offence shall incur such pains and penalties as are
in and by two Acts of Parliament, the one made in the fifth
year of .the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth, intituled, " An
Act for punishment of such persons as shall procure or commit
wilful perjury," the other made in the second year of the reign
of his late ajesty King George IL intituled, "An Act for
the more effectual preventing and further punishment of For-
gery, Perjury, Subornation of Perjury, and to make it Felony
to steal Bonds, Notes, or other Securities for payment of
Money," directed to be inflicted for offences committed con.
trary to the said Act. '
And be it further enacted by the 'authority aforesaid, That
from and after the said day of
no person shall vote in such Election of a Member or Members
to serve in Parliament for a town or borough in which persons
have a right to vote for such Member or Members, for and , in
respect of lands, tenements, or hereditaments within the same,
unless such persons shall havei a freehold estate in the town or
borough fee which he votes, and shall have been in the actual
possessitio,'or in the receipt of the rents and profits thereof for
his own,use,..aboye calendar months, except
the same' came to him within the time aforesaid, by descent,
marriage, marriage settlement, devise, or promotion to any be.
nefice in a church, or by promotion to an office ; and no person
shall vote in respect or in right of any freehold estate, which was
made or ?ranted to him fraudulently, on purpose to qualify him
to give his vote, or shall vote more than once at the same Elec-
tion ; and if any person shall vote in any such_ Election con.
Crary to the true intent and meaning' hereof, he shall forfeit to
any candidate for whom such vote shall not have been given,
and who shall first sue for the same, the sum of
'to be recovered by him or them, his or their executors
or administrators, together with full costs of suit, by action of
debt in any of his Majesty's courts dr record at 'Westminster,
wherein no essoign, protection, wager of law, privilege or inf-
parlance, shall be admitted or allowed ; and in every such
action, - the proof shall lie on such person against whom the
same was brought; unless the fact, on which such action is
grounded, be the having polled more than once at the same
Election.—(Sec. 19 (leo. 2. c. 28. sec. 4.)
And be it declared by the authority aforesaid, That no pub.
lie or Parliamentary tax, church or parish rate or duty, or any
other tax, rate, or assessment whatsoever, to be assessed or le.
vied within such towns or boroughs as aforesaid, is or shall be
deemed or construed to be any charge payable out of or in re-
spect of any freehold estate, within the meaning and intention
of this Act, or of the oath or solemn affirmation hereinbefore

aforesaid.--(lbid. sec. 5.)

Sheriff's, grourided upon any such writ of summons : Provided
always, that every action, suit, indictment, or information,
given by this Act, shall be commenced 'within the space of
calendar months after the fact Upon which the same is
grounded shall have been committed.—(Thfd. see, 10.)
And be it further enacted, by the authority aforesaid, That
all the statutes of Jeofails, and amendments of the law whatso-
ever, shall and may be construed to extend to all proceedings
'in any action, suit, indictment, or information, given or allowed

[From' the Quotidienne.]
" We learn from' Rochefort, under date

March 23, that' great movements are making in
our port. The three sloops of war, L'%lstrolabe,
La Recherche, and Le Joubert, commanded by
Ensigns Juriault, Dufresnil, and RaiHard, •are
fitting out with all possible•activity to cruize upon
the "oast of Bayonne. The h&c brig, corn-

manded by Lieutenant. Arrmod, is also arming
for a cruise ; her destination is not yet knbwn.'

[From the Constitutionnel.]

" We announced, on the authority of l'Eloile,
that Colonel Sausset had been arrested, but we
learn this day with great pleasure, that this re.
port is totally unfounded.

[From the GazettO de France.]

" The Marquis de Latour Maubourg, the
French Ambassador at Constantinople) will short-
ly return to Paris."

From the foregoing intelligence from Paris,
it appears that the King of 5e.117.4 departed from
Madrid at one in the morning of the 20th. Our
extraordinary information from Madrid, to the
evening of the lgth, (see TIIESUN of Wednesday
last), stated that when the courier left that eapi.
tal " the mules, carriages, &c. were collected, for
the journey in the Palace-yard, and the men were
even mounted for the royal escort, on the ensuing
morning at. an early hour." The statement that
the escort was mounted on the preceding night
for the journey of the following day, we know
was thought, sufficient, in the opinion of many
persons, to throw discredit ou the whole of
the very important intelligence which we alone
had received by the Madrid Courier. It now
appears, however,' that the King set off in less
than two hours .after our informant came away.

The article ht the Pilule of Saturday evening
seems to confirm the intelligence that the active
and enterprising General MINA had made an
irruption into the French territory, and had sur.
prised and made prisoners of the whole corps of
Spanish Royalists under the orders of Baron
d'Eftor.Es.
