SIR ROBERT STEB.C.—WC stated that this Gen..
tleman was amono. {hose who objected to Mr.
OwEN's Plan at, the late Meeting. We deem it
right, however, to observe, that his reasons were
very different from those of 'modern Reformers,
and in unison with his well-known attachment to
Government. Sir ROBERT, we understand, means
to state the grounds of his opposition to Mr.
OwEN's Plan in a general review of the subject.

THE EARL. of DoNOUGIIMORE.—This Noble-
man, as we stated, has been alarmingly ill, but
The Dublin Adeertizer of ‘Vednesday last says,
that the Noble Lord IVA S considerably better.
The Papists at the late Aggregaie Meeting of
the Catholic Board in Dubin', having by kll tins-
pinions R.•solution called on all Roman Catholics
Of the United Kingdom, NOT to gi.e their votes
itt the next Gt neral to any Candidate
Who will not positively promise to vote tor the
admission of Pliists to offices of high political
power .and legislative authority, we hope The
Protes!ant Community will constantly bear in
mind this test of the Papists, and not elect any
CantliaatC who will not promise to tnaintain the
integrity of the Constitution of the Country in
Clwyd; and State as NOW by Law established,
tvithont any abet ation or innovation whatever.
There is little doubt, it Mr. BENSON offers him-
self again to repre,ent the Borough of Stafford in
Parliament, but he will he elected. His well
linown attachment to the .Constitution of the
Co'untry in Church and State, and the zeal and
bility with which he has always supported the
interests of his Constituents,. will secure him r heir
suffrages and when it is recollected that the in-
habitants of Stafford are firm adherents to " The
Protestant Ascendency," there cannot be a ques-
tion as to their disposition to to-elect Mr.

It atforded'us great pleasure to notice that the
Corporation of Worcester had, the other day,
presented the Freedom of that ancient and loyal
City to those distinguished Noblemen the Lords
`inttitou'rx and CoLCIi ESTER, t W born two
more able, zealous, and firm supporters of " he
Protestant Aseetodencv," and sincere friends to
the best interests of their Country, do not exist.
We hope they will live long to enjoy the high
Weputation they have so justly earned, and to be-
befit the Nltion by their future services.
Considerable .impt overnents are, we understand,
contemplation to be made in the Port of New-
casde-upint-Tyne. The Corporation have lately
Prohibited any more ballast front being deposited
in the Creek above North Shields, v-v`hich is ad-
toirob!y adapted for net docks. A new arrange.
them is also to be made in the birth t, for mooring
4t ships at Shields, front the shoals which have
!risen flout the wnnt of knowledge evinced in the
Present regulations in that respect, for in many
tiers, t' here ships of large burthen were accus-
tomed to lay afloat at low water,. there is scarce
4 sufficiency of water for, them at high water. It
it also said that a pier is to be carried out to sea
hi, the south side of the entrance of the Tyne,
It,lttch has long been much wanted. The Cor-
lioration having lately ineorred a 'very large ex-
Ilence in the survey of this noble harbour and
liver, it is considered they mean without delay to
l'inove all the ohs/ructions which have been cum-
-1 hied of, and to establish such a system as will
;tntler it equal to the first-race out-port in Great
4rit ain.

PARIS, AUG I I.—For some time there has been
great deal of conversation respecting a treaty
concluded between the Courts of St. Petersburg))
and Madrid, but of A very vagoe nature. Letters,
however, from. Vienna, dated July 26, are more
particular, and in detail. It is coofideotly asserted
there, that the Courts of St. Pelersburgh and (J,,
Madrid signed a Treaty of Alliance on the 7th
of May 'by virtue of which RusSia will furnish
Spain with a soadron of 5 ships of the line, 4
frigates, and 16,000 troops, in order to reduce to
sabmission the Spanish Colonies in South Ante-
rca. On her part, Sp-in will cedm? to Russia the
island of Minty Ca and the Iwo Californias. It is
added, that the squadron and the transports are
all ready in time port of Sebastopal, in Crimea,
but that the Ottoman Porte refuses to allow their
pass',ge through the Bosphorus, in spite of the
pressing importunities of Count Strogonoff, Am-
bassador from Russia to Constantinople.
The negociations at Carlsbad will commence
immediately. This Congress will be.c,omposed of
the following persons :—For England, Mr. Lamb;
for Russia, the Count Capo distria ; for Austria,
Prince Metteroich ; for Prussia, Prince Harden-
berg; atol for France, the Count de Caraman. The
principal objects which will occupy this Congress
will he the affairs of the revolted colonies in Ame-
rica, and he disputes between Portugal and Spain,
with which the Ministers of the great Powers at
Paris are already occupied. The question of the
ditniuntion of the Army of Occupation in France
will also he agitated at Carlsbad. It appears that
some 'of the Powers had at first desired that the
Congress should be held at Aix-la-Chapelle. The
departure of Prince Metternich for Carlsbad is con •
si'iered as very. near Time last letters from Germany
announce the arrival at Carlsbad of the Count Capo
d'lstria, as well as 01 the young English diplo-
matist, Mr. Lamb. These same letters say, that
should Prince Metternich delay to arrive at Carls-
bad, and Prime Hat den berg should be obliged
to set off before the arrival of the Austrian
Minister, for the purpose of attending his Sove-
reign in the provinces of time Rhine, then M.
de Kr c ern arck, Minister of Prussia ar Vietoma,
will replace M. de Hardenberg. Count de Cara-
man did not leave Paris for Carlsbad t!,e 6th.
There is a talk at Court of the Coronation of
the King at Ittenns as ot an approaching event.
