The Gaulle of this chtte contains a notice from
the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice,
stating that his Majesty bad resolred that the decree
of the 31st of July this year, issued from the War,
office, which ordered the most summary proceedings
against all persons found in arms and committing
acts of hotstliity, shall be applied to the highway
t'ottb'at who for some time past infest in bodies the
provinces of the kingdom, anti especially the province
of Minho, only, however► as far 15 regards the form
of proceeding, and the punishment of the criminals,
who, in case there should be no grounds for in-
flicting capital punishment, are to be delivered to the
competent tribunals. His Majesty orders that this
his sovereign resolution be communicated to the
several criminal courts, similar orders being dis-
patched also from the War-office to the Generals of
the provinces. A copy of the decree of the 30th

FROM THE ELBE, DEC. 8.

Hopes are still entertained that the dispute
green Hanover And Brunswick will be arranged by
the intervention of a third great power, which takes
great interest in the matter, without any resolution
being taken by the Diet: At Bast, it seems quite
certain that 'this has been• again delayed, and
it is thought that the mission of General Von
Buttlar, from Brunswick to Vicuna, hat been ciCca-
sioned by the renewrid negotiations for an amicable
agreement, and rte

FOREIGN OFFICE, Du'. 18, 1628

Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Earl of Aber-

interested, a translation of the final setitent'.e, passed
in the Prise Ceoutts of' Buenos Ayres, upon the
British brig, Ifuskisson, detained by a Buenos
Ayrean privateer. This sentence decrees the release
of the vessel and the innocent part of the cargo, not
enemy's property, and reserves to the Captain his
right to claim compeneationl-for any losses *hid) he
may have unjustly sustained in consequence of the

The Catholic Metther for Clare has, it aeerns,
announced his intention of taking his seat in the
House on the very first night of the Parlia-
mentary Sessions. This is a judicious resolu-
tion ; it argues ninterity and earnestness, and
proves that Mr. O'CONNELL is really desirous
of bringing, one way or other, the question of
Emancipation to an immediate crisis: Had he
delayed, as wls t riginally intended, from some
inadequate motive of etiquette, or scarcely
understood prudence, till the latter end of '
February or the beginning of March; he would
have conveyed the idea, if not of insincerity, at
least of lukewarmness in the cause. The Eng-
lish mind, he should remember, is prepared for a
crisis-4 is prepared to see the question of his
eligibility to sit in Parliament at once decided ;
should he thwart this expectation, however ra-
tional to himself may appear the grounds for his
delay, he will assuredly subject himself to much
distrust and obloqity: AdViiidtte sill alao ht
taken of his apparent sang froid. It will be
argued, as it was in the case of the Dissenters,
that because he has been backward in canvassing
. , • .
his eligibility, his grievances must be propor-
tionably slender; for who, whether it be a na-
tion or an individual, would sit idly looking on,
when their dearest interests are at stake, more
especially when it remains with themselves at

once to moot the point—whether they shall still
continue slates, ur rise to the dignity of freemen ?
Delay under such circumstances; howtver plausihlo,

he reason, is injudicious—it is worse than in
'udicious, it is dangerous—it is wet-se than dan

gerous, it is suspicious.
Mr. O'CoNNEtr, need br: the l

to bring on the great question, which must
necessarily grow out of the minor one of his
own personal eligibility, from the eirouni-
' stance of itB havilig already rialidtt Stich fa;
vourable .progress throughout England. In
Yorkshire the Brunswick Clubs have failed—in
Kent their venom has been neutralized—in the
West Of England they lire hitighed at, so
so, that Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE himself—
et tu, Brute ! is loath to have any thing to do
with them ; and even in Ireland they appear, if
we may judge from reports, to have dwindled into
comparative insignificance. The sun of Orange
dbspotisiii now cheers only the North with its scant
and frozen rays.

It is also an additional argUinent iti fa;
tour of Mr. O'CONNELL'S success, that not-.
Withstanding the reports so widely circulated
dining the' dpiniort.
the minds of many of our hitherto staunchest
Protestant supporters in the Cabinet, not one
has thought fit; directly or indirectly, to contra-
dict
them ; while, on the contrary, those fe..;,
have been suspected of deserting the Catholic
banners, have promptly and indignantly denied
the tiiith kf Alielt aiiseitioiiiL The ihroiving tip
of a straw, it is said, will chew which way the

think, the mine eirect on the present occasion.
