On the gneition that the Dissenters' Marriage
Bill be coniniit'ted,

IiOId.CASTLBREAGIN said, that if it was only in.
tended to till up the blanks, he would not object to
going into the Committee ; but irthe 13111 was to be
passed to its completiou, he should feel disposed
to follow a different course. The measure was of
great -importance, and had been introduced at so
late a pet iod, that he wished its f►►rther considera-
tion shOtild be postponed to the next Session.
Mr. W. Smilli explained anew ,the-nature of
his Bill. fie had not intended merely to fill up
the blanks in the CoMmittee, but to forward tli
meastire. lie shonld, hciivever, adopt the sug-
gestion of. the Noble Lord, and waive the Bill for
the present,, .with the view of renewing it next
Session.

After a few remarks from Dr. PiIILLIMOER and

PARTICULARS of NI ACGREGOR'S‘ DEFEAT

(From " The Jamaica Courant" of May IS.)
RFcApTuRE ncip.To BELLD, AND TOTAL DE-
F::.AT OF SIR GREGOR Iq,GREGOR'S FOR• ES BY
THE, ROYROYALISTS..

The intelligence was received by his Ma-
jesty's ship Sapphire, Captain Hart, which arrived
at Port Royal in twelve days from Porto Bello
This event took 'lace on the Ist inst. It appears
that General HortS, with from 1,000 to 1,200
Rien, proceeded from Panama on the 210 tilt. and
reached Porto Bello, after a most fatigning
march, on- the evening, of the 30 It.
IGarly
on the morning of the Ist, it having rained
incessantly during the whole night, the Spanish

troops vere led on in two divisions, one com-
manded by General Ho 4, a very brave otEcer,
an'il the wher by Colonel Santa Cruz, and they
film iced and surprised the place at six o'clock,

while Macgregor mid his I ronpi were in tbeit
beds._ Ile, however, escaped in his shirt, by
le,iping from a w;ndow o. the G,ivernment•honse,
20 feet high, throwing rnattrass to light ott,

;Olinger, itoo the sea, 9n.1 swam to a. ,chooncr
the harbour, whence lie wAs safety conveyed to
the bug Hero. Colonel. O'Hara, with several
other officers, endeavoured to rally the troop,
aml make what resistance they could, but vehicle

stris quite onavai)ing, as they were soon over-
powerk a, 100 nitn hating been either .killed or
wounded in this unequal straggle. Colonel
O'Hara was severely wounded, and died iat a few,
'tours after. Seventy officert and 300 men were
made prisoners I.)y the Royal forces, and all the
baggage also fel! info their hands Two English
women wure killed in the engagement. pri-
soners were ordered to Panama, where, we learn,
they are to be confined tntil their flame fate _he
decided by the Government of Spain. -Such ar.;
tisans as may be among rh-.m are however, it is
salt', to he compelled to work so soon as tools

can be procured to Pliable them to exercise their
respective trades. aivernor Lopez, elevated to
that situation by General i'sll.Gregor, was killed in
bit. bed. Many of those who had escaped were
afterwards found dead in the woods, and others
were made prisoners, and brought back to the
to,wo.

Snell has been the disastrous end of this long.
talked of expedition, and which, for a moment,
oltained a stniil advantage, to lae afterwards. en-
tirely • deslroyed—and that advantage, it seems,
happened from the dastardly conduct of a cowardly
Governor, who abandoned the place without fir-
ing a shot. This man, however, wlin fi,:d with
Lie rnotn.l and plate to Chagres on that occasion,
was immediately made prisoner and sent to Pana-
ma, under a strong escort of troops, where be
would be tried by a COurt-martial for his cow-
ardice,

Not withstanrFng the terrible ire of grape and
musket shot, which was kept up fora time from
the troops who were rallied by Colonel O'Hara,
the Royalists sustained but a very small loss.

Letters from Porto Bello represent Sir Gregor
as a better leaper than a General ; for instead of
taking refuge in a fort to defend himself and his
brave followers, on the first alarm be immediately
abandoned his people, and fled on board the Hero,
which immediately made her escape. She after-
wards appeared off Chagres, and discharged some
guns at the fart, but which were returned in a
style that induced her speedily to decamp. It is
conjectured she was, to proceed to. St. Andreas.
The I►►dependent flag was still kept flying at
Porto Dello, as a decoy to vessels bound thither

to join Sir Gregor.
General llor6 was to proceed for Panama on
the (lilt instant. This Officer distinguished him-
self in Spain, and is,cousidered a very brave and
enterpeizing officer. Colonel Santa Cruz was
to be left in Porto Bello, as Commandant of that
place. Btfore these Generals left Panama, they
laid an embar;:o on all vessels in that port, and

an interdiction , to any communication with Ilse

town by land.

General O'Sdrio and suite arrived in the San-
phire, and is to proceed hence to Spain with
4isputches, giving an account of the recapture of
Pot ,o Bello.

'Previously to_the sailing of the Sapphire from
Tort° Bello, reports reached that place from Pa•
tiama, that Lord Cochrane had made an attack
on Lima, and was beat otf.

Confiance brig of war, Captain Mont-
gomery, was dispatched from Porto Bello on the
4th for this island, with accounts of the recap.
lure of that place.

QUIs DICERE FAL3I7:II AUDE,IT.?

LONDON,
FRIDAY, JULY 2, 18t9.

We received this morning. the radii Papers of
Tuesday last.—The discussion of the Articles Of
the Budget of Ways and Means was continued in
the Chamber of Deputies through the Sitting of

VERGIER de HAVRAME, tor reducing the duty on
Cocoa Yar'n imported, was negatived; as also
was another for abolishing the duty on Oils
The further consideration of the Budget was post-
poned till Tuesday.—The following are extraets:—"

" FRANKFORT. JUNE N.—Considerable bands
of robbers are committing great ravages in seve-
ral parts of Germany. A banditti, nearly 100
strong, recently committed a number of robbe-
ries in the environs of Biberach, and entirely
'pillaged the village of Fischbach. A corps of
cavalry from Ulm succeeded in putting down
these marauders ; but not without a vigorous re-
sistance, and some bloodshed on both sides.
AuGsawto, JUNE 21',—The fittest of the pic-
ttues from the Gallery of Malmaison have been
put up to sale within these few "days, by order
of the Duchess de St. Len, but there not being.
many amateurs present, the greater part of the
pictures remain unsold.
" NAPLE3, Jtn,:s 10.—There is nothing certain
known with regard to the effects of the eruption
of Mount Etna. The lava, up to the 4th instant,
flowed in the valley of Bur, and did not cause any
damage to the cultivated lands."

The Question of ParlVAncentary Reforinwasla3t
night; of course, brought forward by Sir F. Burt-
ne;rT, who urged all the old cutand dry arguments
in support of the necessity of re-moulding or netv.
modelling the representation of the Peot►le, but
the Baronet did not propose any specific plan
of his own, and seemed, indeed, to intro-
duce the subject because be was expected to
do so, and with a sort. of languor that did

lidt seem so matt to 'grit: twin iinittlessritts
of siiccess, as a real indlfrerenre to the cause: We
flail this as a favourable omen of returning good
sense, arising, we should be glad to belloe,
from a con%ietion, that according to the homely
adage, it is best to " Let welt alone."—
The Parliamentary Representation, as it stands,
practicably anseret s every purpose of security to
the State, and freedom to the People, and there-
fore it would be little short of insanity to resort
to specious theories, and hazard the loss of posi-
tive and essential advantages. The House thought
so, and therefore passed to the Ordeta of the Day,
by a majority of 153 to 58.

LeEps.—We have received assnra2mes from
most respectable authorities at 'Leeds, stating,
that a paragraph which appeared in The Sun of
the 21st ult. contained the grossest exaggerations
of the posture of affairs in that town and the neigh-
bourhood. Nye understand that a sintila'r article ap-
peared in The Courier. We can only plead in excuse,
that dangcr to which all Conductors of Newspapers
are exposed upon matters that are calculated to ex-
cite particular attention. Nothing, except the 66.
ginal communication of trot h;can gi vs us more plea-
sure than the acknowledgment and correction of
error, when we have been misled. We this morn-
ing received better\information, and we hasten to
assure the public, that we were imposed upon, as
ire conclude, by artful traitors, tall() thought to
give importance to their cause by representing
it as more formidable than it is in reality, in ot-

der to secure their deluded prostiliyes, and to con-
firm those who were wavering. Fram the infor-
mation which we received this morning, we have
reason to believe that the Magistracy of Leeds and
its vicinity are loyal in their principles and firm
in their duty. It is with much satisfaction
we add, that there are two well conducted Papers
in that Town, one The Leeds intelligincer ot long
established reputation, and the other, The Leeds
Independent, a Journal of congenial principles
which is using fast ion) similar esteem, in. amity
with its loyal brothir. The reputation cf
these Journals, and the success which attends
them, ore gratifying proofs ot the -loyalty and
true patriotism of the Inhabitants in general.—
Ai to the other Newspaper of the sainh town,
which is employed in the incnictulon of very dif-
ferent principles, we trust that the counteraction
of the two Journals that we have mentioned,
effectitally defeat its obvious purposes, and
that the good old town of LEF.b4 mill maintain tts
character for public spirit, tree consttutlmai
principles, and an unshaken zeal for the security
of the State and the happiness of the people.

The STOCKPrifiT UNtotx, and -other Seditious,
Combina:ious against the existing Government,
evince that daring spirit of Jactobirristsia from whit It
the worst consequences may be expected, Elutes-,
timely and vigorous measures arc adopted. The
Opposition Writers have often scoffed and sneered
at the word Jacobin, as if it had no definite mean-
ing ; but the horrors which were conturitted in
France by the Miscreants who were proud of the
name, are sufficient to sire%;v that its import is of
the most diabolical and destructive tendency.
Upon this subject we shall subjoin an Extract
from The Correspondent, a Dublin Newspaper of
well merited popularity, for its good sense, know-
ledge, public spirit, and loyalty, which, adverting
to the subject of the Stockport Union, makes the
following pertm.entretnarkw‘ upon the void in
question :
it is very Much the mode to attempt to throw ridicule
"won the term << Jacobin," and to bespeak it upon all occa-
sions as the standing reproach with which popular complaints
are to be answered ; but, unfortunately, it is still an appli.
cable term, not,,vithstanding the sner at it;—.end, if ever it
had a meaning, during the era of blond and rapine, and des-,
potism, when France was in her phrenzies, it has a meaning
not less significant and appropriate now—that measures are
recommended, and steps are taking to agitate •Engiand,
precisely such in principle and in character as ushered in
that hideous succession of unspeakable crimes and wicked-
nesses, which buried France 'in woe for a quarter of a cen-
tury. Let every man who feels a heart within his 'breast
open it to the claims of his countrymen's distress—and he
who has a purse to ecinimand, let him, with the virtuous in-
discretion of charity, cast it into the coma-ion fund, that soft
feriug industry may be supported, white it is depressed under
the enmity of circumstances. Bat, in the name of God, let
us have no poling about artificers that assemble to make
iverumcnts—let us have no canting • about mtshapzcs,
nstalled as Lrgislators--let as nut have the ignorance of the
country impannelled to try the Government—nor those pas-
sions which laws but vainly attempt to controul at heat, as-
sembied in Convention, to denounce property, and to ,:on-
deron itto'arbitrary distribution.

The thrift first Articles which 'f,resent thernseves •in The
Stochport Unirm speak volumes. They avow the .princ;ipes
upon which all the • UniceTsai Sl,frage Clubs are instituted ;
they proclaim to the Government the necessity of ,vigilance
and vigour ; and tip all the friends of real libeity, the neces-
sity ofuniting all the civil and moral means which aritisli scin.
ciety affords, to preserve the Constitution arid the Country
against such refa'rious and criminal lolly."
