Question Navin;r been read. _ _

Sir ROBERT INGLISS who had possession of the
House rose. The arguments urged by the Hon. Baronet
were not such as could satisfy then% that the Roman
Catholics of this empire could be admitted to poli-
tical power, or to eligibility to political power, without a
subversion of the principles of our Protestant Constitution.
The llonourahle Baronet here entered into a detail
of the history of the way' in Ireland, which ter-
minated in the treaty of Limerick, and contended that an
erroneous construction was put apon that treaty, and also
asserted that the garrison of Limerick were not in a
situation to compel better terms even if they
took the least favourable yiew of those which were offered
to them.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, May 1.1
SYRA, Aram 2.—The energetic measures of Count
Lupo D'lstria have almost entirely put an end to piracy.
Miaulis has sunk or burnt above 60 piratical vessels in
the islands of Skiato and Scopelo. We shall now see whether
these coasts will be again infested in the fine season, which
is not impossible, on account of the extreme distress
that prevails in all the islands, and the inactivity to which
many soldiers and sailors are reduced since the almost
total cessation of hostilities. We expect here Prince Mavro-
cordate, who is appointed by the Oovernraent to or-
ganise the islaods on the Egean Sea. Count Capo &Is-
tria has sent troops from Poros against Athens, and is
said to he at Egina. The Veneto, Austrian brig of war,
was at Poros with Mr. Prosko on hoard, who is to go to
Nararin to endeavour to persuade Ibrahim to evacuate the
Mores. We learn that Ibrahim is preparing an expedi-
tion, but that serious quarrels have taken place between
the Turkish Albanians and the AralA, and the inhabitants
of Coron and Motion. Eighteen European men of war
are cruising off Navarin, and a French squadron of two
ships of the line, two corvettes, and four brigs are said to
have arrived at Milo.

hug, Aram 29.—A1l the troops composing the French
garrison of Pamplona, repassed the Bidaseoa this morning.
We have heard that below Tolosa and Frnani, a battalion
of the 6th Regiment of the Line was insulted by some
vagabonds, who fearing merited chastisement, had placed
themselves for this purpose on an eminence. The Captain-
General of St. Sebastian has sent some Spanish troops to
arrest those disturbers of public tranquillity.
It is not certain whether his Majesty, who arrived at
Saragossa on the 22d, will come to Navarre or to St.
Sebastian. The accounts from Madrid are uninteresting.
It is asserted in that capital that a fermentation again
prevailed iu Catalonia, notwithstanding the great number
of troops in that province. The accounts from the other
provinces are satisfactory with respect to their tranquillity.
At Madrid, too, all is quiet, but the robbers are so nu
merous, that for these three days past a great many have
been hanged, and the gallows has been constantly em-
ployed.
(From the Messager des Chambres of Tuesday.)
PARIS, MAY s.—Letters have been received from St.
?etersburgh of the 18th of April ; the Emperor still resided
in the winter Palace. The Prince of Orange had met
with an accident which seemed at first to be serious ;
his Royal Highness fell on the staircase of the Palace,
and received a wound on his head. After being
blooded several times, all apprehension was dispelled. It is
thought that the Prince may set out before the Emperor.
Several regiments have quitted the capital, and troopi con-
tinue to march to the South. It was reported at St. Pe-
tershurgh that the army would soon occupy Moldavia and
Wallachia, and then nothing would be done, but to re-
quire the execution of the Treaty of Ackermann. The
passage of tlae Pruth is considered as an event calculated
upon, and less serious in its consequences than was at first
presumed.

FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twpr,rE o'Ccocr.

This morning Consols opened at 35i :}, and after having
dropped to 85, rallied to 85; 1, the Commissioners gave
; the httaine.cs doing is not to any great extent. India
Bonds are 97 9 ; and Exchequer BilLs stationary at 64
65 prera.

In the Foreign Funds the sole attention of the dealers
has again been directed to Portuguese Bonds, in which
Stock the fluctuations continue in quick succession, pro-
duced in a great measure by the variety of opinions, and
the great uncertainty that attends the payment of the Di-
vidends due on the Ist proximo. Some large sales have
been made by parties connected with that country, which
tend to spew the prevailing opinion that the dividend
in question will not be duly paid, and so confident
are they that this will be the case, that Portuguese Bonds,
which opened at 55i, sunk immediately after to 52, rallied
again to 51, and again went down to 52, they may
he now quoted at 53 ; Brazil have been affected by this
state of affairs, and went down &era 59 to 553 ; in fact the
alarm occasioned has been generally detrimental to the
Continental Stocks, and in the event of thenon-payment of
the dividend taking place, it will shake the public mind
towards all Foreign Funds.
The only thing worth stating in Shares is the s-ue of
Mr. Oxenford's new Brazilian Mining Shares, to-day, and
which have been done at pm. to par, a sad falling off
from what has been expected by many.

count, 851 ; India Bonds, 97 9 pm.; Exchequer Bills,
