more than that he will oppose, tooth and nail; any
Church Reform that does not originate with a Con-
,:orvativc Cabinet. With the excention
the Right Honourable Baronet's speech is as
vague and general as a KING'S speech, and answers
exacily to his own definition of popular eloquence,
viz., that it is the largest number of words contaiiihig
the smallest possible amount of meaning. As
the most intelligible specimen we can find in
it, we subjoin Sir ROBERT PEEL'S advice to
his Conservative colleagues. " Let us not," says
he, after praising himself for having given the
Reform Bill a fair trial, " let us not flatter ourselves
with the hope of change in the present system of re-
presentation, with the expectation of depriving of
rights those who have acquired them, or of frittering
away those rights. My advice, is, stick to the principles
of the Reform Bill, and be assured that the alterations
in that measure will come, not from you, but those who
framed it, those who were the authors of it. The mo-
ment that they find that it will not secure the objects
a-;ey proposed—that it is not calculated to exercise a
Conservative influence—that moment they will see the
necessity of a change."

Mr. NEILSON of Quebec, and Mr. WALKER of
Montreal, deputed to this country on behalf of the
British and Irish inhabitants of Lower Canada, have
arrived in town. They are charged with petitions
both to the Crown and to Parliament.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, which we have just
received, express their abhorrence of the conduct of the
Government in sanctioning the trial of the prisoners
of April in their absence. Some of them do not he-
sitate to state that the detestable precedent quoted by
the Procureur-General was suggested by the KING
himself, who regards every day as an age which wit-
nesses the procrastination of his vengeance. The
Court of Peers, after the expulsion of the re-
fractOry prisoners on Saturday, ordered the Act of
Accusation to be read. This document extends over
no fewer than five hundred and nineteen folio pages,
of which only sixty-eight were read when the Court
rose at five o'clock. During the reading of the Act of
Accusation only twenty-nine of the accused were present.
The conduct of the Court of Peers in proceeding
with the trial of the prisoners in their absence begins
to be publicly reprobated by all the Liberal Members
of the Upper Chamber. The Duke de NOAILLES,
who assisted during the three first sittings of
the Court, has published a letter, addressed to
the PRESIDENT, in which he refuses to con-
tinue to sit in judgment on absent individuals. The
Marquis de TALONET, Counts MOLE, FAURE,
ZANGIACOMI, DE MATHAN, VOGUE, and TAL-
HOUT, have likewise signified their unwillingness to
preside in the absence of the prisoners. And even
Baron PASQUIER, the President of the Chamber, has
declared openly that he will not consent to continue the
prosecution in the absence of the prisoners, beyond the
reading of the Act of Accusation.
It is now generally known in Paris that the KING
was personally present in the New Court of the Lux-
emburg during the greater part of the four sittings.
His Majesty witnessed the proceedings from a private
box, shaded from public observation by a green curtain.
On the rising of the Court on Saturday, the Presi-
dent announced its adjournment till Tuesday (this
day), when it would resume the reading of the Act of
Accusation. Yesterday the Chamber of Peers was to
have assembled to deliberate upon certain bills-which
had been passed by the Chamber of Deputies.

Marshal MAISON, the new Minister of War, has
published the usual address to the army on entering
upon the duties of his new appointment. There is
seldom anything in such documents worthy of notice,
and the present is no exception to the general rule.
The new Minister appears in raptures with the concord
that exists between the regular troops and the National
Guard, which he trusts the army will continue to pro-
mote under all possible circumstances.
Letters from Bayonne, filled with the most contra-
dictory statements respecting the war in the North of
Spain, have been received. In the absence of all
anthenticated reports, we give the following from a cor-
respondent of the Messager, although we have no con-
fidence in the writer's sincerity :

PARIS, MAT 9.—The accounts received to-day only con•
firm what we learnt yesterday of the state of affairs in the
north of Spain.
Zumalacarregui was, on the Ist of May, on the point of
attacking Iruzun, which Valdez was preparing to defend.
PARIS, MAT 10.—Our correspondent at Bayonne writes to us,
under the date of May 6.—" The demoralization in the army
of the Queen must be very great, for the Carlists nowhere
meet with any opposition since the ckecks of Valdez and
Iriarte. Will it be believed that a mere detachment of 300
men, which approached Pampeluna the day before yesterday,
put to flight 4,010 Christinos, and cut to pieces and captured
more than double its own number This, however, has just
happened in sight of such a strong fortress, and amidst all the
surrounding villages which lately heard the haughty procla-
mation of the General. Yet the real loss which the latter
experienced in the affairs of last month, had not sensibly re-
duced his numerical superiority, for he has not had 3,000 men
in all hors de combat. But it is the moral strength of the
army which has been immensely lowered by this series of de-
feats in detail, and still more, if I may express, by the ridicu-
lous manner of its flights.
" Only conceive, that after the last battle which took place at
Araiz, in the valley of that name, whole battalions dispersed
some flying towards Pampeluna, some towards Estella, and
some even to Logrono, throwing away their caps, knapsacks,
and even their arms, to fly more easily. It is in this state that
the General in Chief has found them in the last mentioaed
town, where he is engaged in re-organising the army ; there,
too, he must have heard the news of the last defeat, as we re-
ceived it yesterday evening. General Harispe had scarcely
finished a long report, which he had drawn up for the Minister
of War, on the opening of the campaign of the new Spanish
Commander in Chief, when he received this news, which
obliged him to add a postscript of four sheets. I know not
what effect all this will have on the Cabinet of Paris, and
above all on that of Madrid, but I do not hesitate to assure
you, that in my opinion, and in that of all reasonable people in
this country, the efficacy of an intervention, if it should take
place, becomes every day more and more doubtful.
" The die is cast, and the third act of Martinez de la Rosa
is approaching to the catastrophe. If there is still time, let
good use be made of it ; otherwise the liberal party is
ruined."

It is remarkable that the Prussian and Austrian Ambassa-
dors, and the Russian Charge d'Affaires, very regularly attend
the proceedings in the Court of Peers, and that they despatch
couriers to their Governments almost every evening.--.Messa-
ger des Chanthres, May 10.

Madrid Papers to the 3d inst. have been received;
containing very favourable accounts of the state of
public feeling in the capital. The Gazette contains a
despatch from General VALDEZ to the Minister of
' War, ad interim, giving an account of the actions
fought with the Carlists on the 21st and 22d of April.
The statement of the General is directly the reverse
of all that has been asserted in the Carlist bulletins.
VALDEZ says that the Carlists had 400 men killed in
these engagements, while the loss on the QUEEN'S
side only amounted to forty-seven killed and wounded.
He accounts for not pursuing the success these victories
gained for him, by stating that the troops wanted
food and water, to provide which he was obliged
to march towards Estella. He further states that he
is well satisfied with his progress in the Amescoas, as
it has given him a perfect knowledge of the difficulties,
physical and moral, against which he has to contend.
The Bill for regulating the Home debt continues
to engage the Procuradores in fierce and almost in.
interminable discussions. Neither the partizans of
the Government, nor the leaders of the Opposition,
pay the least regard to consistency, either in their
speeches or votes.

In the Southern Provinces the greatest tranquillity

prevails. Everywihere the people desire i,e_
cessary to the salvation of the. country. E

the plaintiff. His Honour then proceeded with
•
~,titions, none of which possessed any public interest.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment in this case to-
day. The bill was filed by the plaintiffs, who claimed as cre-
ditors of the estate of an intestate, and also as his personal
representatives against the intestate's widow and her eld:est
son, calling upon them to account, and also for the P"..rpose of
making liable for the payment of the debts of the 4:atlier ( which
could not be paid out of her personal estat:,..) a small estate
possessed by the son. The widow Ivy! given two promissory
notes for a sum which she had b` en allowed to retain by the
representatives of her huoo..:id out of his personal estate.
The representatives filed their bill in 1827, which the parties
agreed should stand over till the son came of age. The
widow, from powl.rty,
.to had not been enabled to put in an ap-
pearance
t.tie bill. The parties subsequently proceeded on
the Pr°7assory note, and recovered ; the widow went to prison,
arid
was released under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. This
latter circumstance, in his Honour's opinion, put the plaintiff
out of Court, upon their own showing, as against Mrs. Hope,
for their claim against her was barred by her having taken the
benefit of the Insolvent Debtors Act. His Honour would
therefore direct an enquiry as to the amount of the personal
estate—the sum which had been allowed to be retained by the
widow—what portion of that sum should be repaid—and that if
the personal estate was not sufficient, the real estate of the
son should be made liable.
