SOtTTEI ANIERICAN WAR.

Lord NUGENT said, lie wished to ask 11_
tion relative to a subject mentioned in the iiebate
on the Foreign Enlistment Bill the other night.
In the course of that debate he had stated
that the Andromache frigate was off the Lima
coast with a freight of gold for Spain. This he
had stated on the authority of a letter front that
ship; But during his speech, the Hon. Secretary
of the Admiralty had told him across the table
that he was misinformed, lie now wished to
give the Hon. Gentleman an opportunity of stat-
ing what were the facts.
Mr. CRoKER said, his expression during the
Noble Lord's speech was meant rather as a cheer,
and as extiressing dissent. The expression used
by the Noble Lord, so tar as he recollec,ed, was,
" Had we not now our ships of war -IF the coast
of Lima to carry freights of gold to Spain ?"
(No ! hom Lord Nugent.)--The truth was, that
the ship in question Was now stationed off the
coast of Lima, on the special application of many
merchants, to protect our trade, with strict in-
structions not to interfere in any shape in the war
now cart vin,: on in that quarter.
Lord NUGCNT wished to know whether . the
Faun Gen:lentail or the Admiralty wet e not in
possession of information that the Andtotnache
frigate had now on board gold which she was to
carry to Spain ?
(Thor as replied, that the only information
which he had on the sidtieet was that derived
tram a paragraph iar the newspapers, which stated,
that Ihe rrir tee iti question had on hoard gold
destined for Spain.

and to which timely assistance they owe the pre-
servation of their lives.

OLD BAILEY.

Yesterday Thomas Bradbury, aged 16, was ca-
pitally convicted of feloniously disposing of and
putting away three fake and counterfeit Bank-
notes for I/. each, with intend to defraud the Bank
of England.
Jo hn Murphy, the poor illiterate Hibernian,
who bad already been twice brought up.to plead
guilty to the minor offence of having forged Bank-
notes in hiS possession, but who, from an obsti-
nate declaration of his innocence, had been re-
manded by the Judges for trial, was again put to
the Bar.
Mr. ALLEY, on his behalf, now stated, that
the prisoner once more appeared for the purpose
of retracting his plea of Not Guilty generally, and
to have the minor plea recorded against him.—
What he had previously done arose through igno-
rance.
The COURT asked him if he now knew what he
was about, anA that he was subjecting himself to
transportation for 14 years.
The prisoner said he was satisfied about it, and
the Bank acceding to the prisoner's plea, he was
removed from the Bar.
John Stewart was capitally convicted of break-
ing and entering the dwelling-house of Michael
Joseph Quin, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn, on Sunday
the 11th of April instant, in the day time, and
feloniously stealing some sheets, shirts, table.
cloths, six silver spoons, and other- articles, his,
property.
John Bryant was capitally convicted for stealing
two ounces of gold wire, and three ounces and a
half of gold filings and cuttings, value 51. of Fre-
derick• Ilumbert,-in his dwelling;house,

Further Particulars relative to the Cafelinity in
the Borough.—Mr. Smitberman's son is not dead,
but in a most dreadful situation at Guy's Hospi-
tal, and notwithstanding the skill and attention
of the Surgeons, and humane solicitude of the
nurses, but faint hopes are entertained of his re-
covery. Mr. S is at St. Thomas's a fearful spec-
tacle ; the melancholy distress of Mrs. g. can
more easily be imagined than described. The ex-
plosion burst the top of the boiler from its solid
rivets, and forced it to the top of Mr. Young's
warehouse, above 100 yards distant. The other
sufferers who survived the shock are considered to
be in a favourable way,--,We trust this lamenta-
ble accident will operate as a caution to all pro-
prietors of such machinery to. bare constantly a
L person of skill to attend it.

POPERY.

MR. EDITOR—A Contemporary Journal has
shewn the danger of Popish Emancipation in a
very formidable instance--the obligation of
auricular confession; whereby a Papist, when ad-
mitted into the Royal Councils, would, of course,
disclose them to his Pt lest. On this point 1 shall
aa no comment : but, Sit , as 1 have alt early., seen
the consequences of this it emendous engine itt
matters scarcely less important, and affecting the
whole system of our Judicature, I must summon
cite attention of the Protestants.

I have been present in an Irish Court of cri-
minal judicature, when a Popish Priest refused,
loudly and plumply, to disclose what had passed
under the seal of confession. I have seen the
justice of the ►and impeded by this impudent
and malignant hypocrisy.. • I have seen the
Judges of the land submit to it. I have
seen the convicted criminal swing out of the
world, attesting God to his innocence.; while his
crime has been as plain as the noon-day
upon no other 'ground, than that having been ab-
solved by the Priest, he is an innocent martyr.
But observe, Sir—this expiring Quibbler will not
say that lie did not commit the act for which he
suffers ; only, that be is innocent of it.

Are Jesuits, thus subtle and thus powerful, to
be let in upon us )—ls the religion, which makes
them its teachers, to be estahiished ?=--Ought it
even to be tolerated in a country that reckons her-
self free and Christian ?

VIGIL.

Saturday last, the 24th inst. five serjedrits, six
corporols,.and three drummers of the Staff of the
Wtst Kent regiment of militia, stationed at
Maidstone, were discharged.

Thursday last, the anniversary. of the birth of
SIIAKSPEAKB was celebrated at Sunderland, by an
elegant dinner provided at Kay's, the Golden
Lion Inn. A large parry partook of the enter-
tainment, and a eatiety of toas►s, sentiments, and
songs appropriate to the occasion, an,l to the ho-
nour of our immortal .bard, kept the company to-
gether till a late hour. The dinner and wines
were excellent.

wise liable. In the Upper House or Pariiament,
there is at present a great number of highly-gifted
individuals, whose knowledge of the Constitn-
ti,n, love of rational liberty, end respect for
the privileges of the House of Commons,
will stand proudly conspicuous, even in coin-.
parison with their Noble Predecessors, at any
of the best periods of the history of the country.
We therefore treat lightly all we have heard
of opposition from that quarter. When we view
the subject practically, it appears evident
that great advantages will arise from this
measure, not only from its effect on the minds of
the people, but from the opportunity which it
will afford to Country Gentlethen to offer them-
selves for the places to which this Bill more
particularly -applies. At present they cannot
be approached, from the impunity held out to
the practices we complain of, from the serious
expense which must be incurred, either in the
Courts of Law, or in a Committee of the House
of Commons, to set aside Returns carried by
occasional and fictitious voters. The beneficial
duets of the Acts relating to County Elections
are obvious to every one conversant with the
subject ; for how few petitions have been pre-
sented to Parliament against returns- for Counties
since the passing of them. On the whole, we
trust, the present opportunity will be seized by
the Legislature to convince the people of their
anxiety to do every thing they can to check and
put an end to abuses in the Representative Sys-
tem of the Country, and to enforce as rigid. an
economy in the expenditure of the State as is con-
sistent with its dignity, and the protection, wel-
fare, and happiness of the Nation. The second
reading of .this Bill now stands for Friday, the
7th of May."--(Morning Post.)

LErrEK 111.

MR. EDlTOlt—ln my last Letter I endeavoured to skew
the intimate connection subsisting between the Revolution
of 1688 and the Roman Catholic Question. I shall now
proceed bit enquire, how those %N ho profess to be guided by
the principles of that Revolution can consistently support
the present Claims of the Catholics.

'What the principles were which the Roman Catholics en-
t,-rtaiOed at the period of the Revolution are evident; the
of Rights declares them to be inimical to the Liberty of
V.nglish .objects, and destructive of the British Constitution.
;!therefore, becomes us to , empire, whether any change has,
taliell place in these prinCipics—whether those tenets which
were esteemed politically dangerous in 1688, have become
.harmless in 1819. Str,ictly speaking, however, the onus pro-
bandi; in this respect, lies upon the Roman Catholics; and
it is for them to shew, not for Protestants to point out, why
all the securities which were established at the Revolution, to
guard our Liberties and Religions Establishments, should be
swept away. In entering upon the discussion of this part of
our subject, I have always felt considerable difficulty. Living,
as f here done, and still continue to do, in the strictest inti-
macy with several members of the Romish communion, whom
I most sincerely respect, it is difficult to bring forward the
discussion of a subject, which cannot fail in some degree to
excite unpleasant feelings. I hold it, however, as an incon-
tFovertible maxim, that English Liberty ought never to be
sacrificed for private friendship : sincerely do I I tlieve, that
amongst the Roman Catholics there is every thing good, great,
and noble ; hut as sincerely do I. believe, that many of them
'are utterly ignorant of the lengths to which their principles
would carry them, and would shudder at the acts which they
.would be compelled to perform in a case of emergency. I
an► of opinion that the Ecclesiastical subjection under which
Roman Catholics are placed, is not so much known to them
as it is to Protestants; and why? because the latter have

been induced to make the necessary enquities fot their own
security, and because the former are not fond of recurring to
a sabject which places the.tu so completely under sacerdotal

[Morning Post.]

PRINCE LEOPOLD.--41111 Royal Highness, we
are well assured, has been detained abroad under
circumstances as unavoidable as distressing to his
feelings—the alarming and continued illness of
the Dowager Duchess his mother. A favourable
turn in her Serene Highneis's health has at length,
however, permitted the Prince to make the neces-
sary arrangements for his return borne; and every
preparation is now making here in expectation of
his Royal Highness's arrival at the end of the
present or the beginning of the ensuing month.
We have already stated that the article from
Vienna contained in a late Hamburgh Mail, men-
tioning his Royal Highness's intention to reside
for the future in the neighbourhood of the Aus-
trian capital, was totally void of foundation, and
we have no hesitation in again giving the most
positive contradiction to the report.

Private letters from Manchester, we are happy
to state, speak favourably of the appearances of
trade, which continues to be reviving on every
side, so that complaints are no longer beard of its
alarming stagnation.—(lbid )

EARLDOM OF 11PPERARY.—The Duke of Cans.
bridge derives his second title from Tipperary,
but his Royal Highness, is not a Peer of Ireland.
The Crown cannot confer a Peerage of Ireland,
unless on the extinction of three Peerages of that
part of the United' Kingdom, consequently the
titles of Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Tipperary,
and Baron of Culloden, granted to this Prince in
1801, (after the Union with Ireland had taken
place; and when no vacancy had yet occurred in
the Irish Peerage), were all Peerages of the
United Kingdom. The Duke of Sussex, in like
manner; is not a Peer of Ireland, though deriving
one of his titles from a place in Ireland, viz.
Baron of Arklow.

Advices from Gibraltar to the 23d ult. state,
that the Governor of the fortress had just received

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]

It was reported yesterday on 'Change, that the
Commissioners, Who have hitherto purchased
97,000/. per day for the reduction of the National
Debt, will shut their box, and not make any more
purchases for some time to come. If there is any
troth in this rumour, it must have been deter-
mined to take at once the produce of the Sinking
Fund for the service of the year, instead of ob-
taining an equivalent amount by the circuitous_
mode of a Loan.

[The Times.]

A rumour was abroad in France a few days
ago, that the Northern Courts of Petersburg') and
Stockholm were not on the happiest terms. The
cause of this alienation is left to conjecture :
the effect, however, upon the dignity of one per-
son, may he esteemed of great importance. We
observe also, that our Paris Correspondent does
not speak in terms of unqualified' praise of the
present King of Sweden.

The sailing of the Heela and Griper from Dept-
ford, for Davis's Straits, is expected to take place
to-morrow. Previous to their departure they are
to be inspected by Viscount Melville and the

THE NAVY.

lAlr. COOKER laid on the table certain accounts
comiected with the state of the Navy. -
Sir J. Yoaxe took this opportunity of urging
noon the 1-lot;se the strong ciaims which Mr.
Seppings had upon its consideration. His eminent
services had been acknowledged in the third Re-
port of the Finance Committee : he had, indeed,
been rewarded, but far short of his deserts ; had
the forty ships which had been built or repaired
under the auspices of Lord Mu'grave, at above
four millions of expence, and Which were well
known to the Gentkitten connected with the
Adtitiral:y tinder the name of the forty thieres—
(a these been placed under the care
of Ale. !:eppiti.gs, they would have cost only a small
portion of ,v hat had been expended on them, and
‘vould not be, as they now were for the most part,
not seaworthy and rotten.
Sit 1. COFFIN bore testiniony to the extraor-
dita„)ry merits of Mr Seaings, but thought be had

YBOM I'LIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Mornins; Chrowdel

The report that the-Emperor Alexander is as-
sembling an itntnense bully of troops in the vici-
nity of St. Petetsburgb, gains ground, and gives
rise to serious alarm. It is said to be fur the
mere 'purpose of a Grand Review, and that he has
invited the Duke of Wellington to be present at
it—biit it cannot be believed, that for the mere
object of a holiday parade, he would, itt the
present state of his finances, incur the expenee of
marching his numerous .armies (ruin their distant
quartets—and, therefore, it breeds a suspicion
that the rumours respecting the design on Sweden
are not unfounded..

FASEIONABLE ELOPEM eNT.—An event bus re
cently occurred which has excited great bustle in
the neighbourhood of ConnanOit-place, owing to
the sudden retreat of Mrs. P. C. who, it is under-
stood, went on Tuesday last tc, Paris, under the
protecting shield of Sir R—T an officer, who
by zeal and gallantry of another kind, distinguished
himself in Spain, and whose literary and mental
powers are not less known.—The Lady, it seems,
is young, beautiful, and accomplished, and the
excise she offers for her conduct on this occasion
is, the long separation from her husband., and
his alleged connection with another person. If
thii statement be correct, the vengeance of the
Law will probably not fall heavily uo the ujec•
tionate fugitives. •

It is said in the theatrical circles, that Mr.
KEAN is positively resolved to leave this country
for America, it the terms which he has uttered for
the future Alimagetnent of Drury-lane Theatre
are not accepted.
The Princess of WALse, it is said, will pass
this summer at Rome, she having sold her seat
on the Lake of Con►u to the Duke of ToRLONIA.

CLERKS OF THE PEACE IN IRELAND.

Sir EL PAItNELL moved the third reading of the
Bill for atisimilating the tennre of the office of
Clerk of -the Peace in Ireland to that in Eng-
land.

Lord CARTIAMPTON opposed the Bill at some
length, on the ground that the Cuptos Rotulorum
would be deprived of a salutary power of checking
illy .tl oraetices in tin.: office of Clerk of the Peace
which he poseiessed 'at present, when the office was
held at his ple.istire ; and concluded by moving an
Amendment, That the Bill be read a third time
on that day 5k months.

Atter sunlit discussion, in which Mr. C, Grant,
Mr. L. Foster, snd Mr. Croker pat ticipated, the
„Amendment was negatived without a division, and
the Bill was read ti third time, and alter the intro-
duction of several (Janus and verbal amendments
by Mr. Croker, was passed.

SUN.

INVI4ITANT DEBTOIVS ACT, AND ITS ADMINISTRA-
TION.

Iroprrott—l-lavine attentively.perused the
Report qf the Committee in the Iloose of Commons
on this subject, and having duly weighed and con-
sidered the .evidence in support thereof, I have
been somewhat sorprised that, in dkft.itice of such
Report, an attempt should be made by petition to
continue one of the greatest abuses has ex.
•isted under this law. 1 allude to the practice of
person,s, as AGENTS of the Court, who have never
obtained a legal qualification Inc such practice, and
to erhotTl sqch 11.Agrant initances of m;scopduct
have been proved tietorc the CA:menittee.
It is trite the persons who are peC:ioncrs hate
been for some !line al!owed to on the le..
gitimaie rights of
ushers,
and the 1-,tichiet whien
they have created in the Chararter of Agews have
been highly injurious to the Voltlir. Tbes,..
are a sufficient answer to their pc-tit:;rm, and af-
ford a direct argument against grantiu4 the pra:er
of it,

They have unquestionably fonad it a prfoluet:,c
pursuit, aided as it was by extortioo d
thlftitMtind f 'mount rfor ',Web little or
nothing was dune in malty casss, and in with.
bolding the discharges of the. Debtors till those
monies were paid. If the discontinuance of these
Agents should induce their return to the former
pursuits in which they were ettgaged, they will,
at least, have the consolation of know u 4 that
they no longer deprive others of those just earn-
ings to which professional labour and alteetiott
entitle them. And should any of the late Agents
be found qualified by ability and integrity, they
may hope to obtain employment under those w hunt
they have heretofore injured.
Any attempt' to prove that Agents out of the
Profession would be of any public utility or gene•
ral advantage, must be whofly abortive, and
trult they will not be rashly inclined to press toy
application for the continuance of practices which
have been so strongly, so justly, and so decidedly
reprobated by the Committee. It they should„
they may expect to create additional censure for
their presumption, and will probably bring upon
themselves tine decided aversion of the whole legal
profession, An:l ever after close the door of hope
against their ng obtaioi employment under those
w . whom they so essentially injured already.
Whatever in:l)74m attelopted by these applicants
to Parliament, by way of Petition, I feel well
assured, from a full consideration of the various.
Statutes for regulating legal Practice, and the
rules. of Court in reference to such practice, it
must be impossible they can retain the ascendancy
which they had heretofore unjustly assumed. For
the right of persons to practise in any of his Ma-
Jes,y a Courts of Record, without previous quali-
fication and regular admission, under liability to
Revenue Duties, is what an equitable Legislature
must indiA,nantly refuse to ordain if ever such art
EnHOMeilt is solicited.

sion.

We have read Mr. O'Alp.aan's Book with atten-
tion, and the charges which it contains are so
strong, that, if fake, punishment should be in-
flicted on the author for Such gross and shame-
less misrepresentat )ns, which indeed are in a
very high degree libellous upon those to whom
the Government of St. Helena and tl:e enstody of
BuONA PARTE are intrusted. On the Other band,
if they arc well founded, it would he highly im-
proper that the Government should remain in such
hands. We can readily conceive that the Author
of tile work in question may see through the dis-
torting medium of resentment, but the facts which
he states demand inquiry, and if discoloured by
such a medium, should be openly refuted. The
work, through the channel of the English Journals,
as well by the circulation of a large Edition,
must have been spread over the Continent, which
will always feel a strong curiosity respecting
BUONAPAISTE, and thetreatment which he expe-
riences. Therefore, for the honour of the British
Government, such charges should not be passed
over• as too insignificant for tiotice, but should be
publicly refuted for the sake of humanity, and in
vindicution of the nationsl character.

LITERARY REVIEW.

111EMOTRS of JOHN DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. with
his OriginAl Correspondence, collected from the Family
Records at Blenheim, and other authentic Sources. By
LLIAM COXE, M. A. F. R.S. F. S. A., Archdeacon of
Wilts, awl Rector of Bemerton.—(Continued.)

We ought to apologize to our Readers for
having so long omitted to resume our notice
of these valuable and interesting 111emoirs.
They belong unquestionably to the History
of England ; and it nay be truly averred,
that without them no work or collection as-
suming that title can possibly he complete.
They relate to a period equally memorable,
as regarding the affairs of this country, and
those of all Europe ; a period at which even
Hume appears to have paused, in despair of suc-
cess, through a conviction that materials existed,
from the free use of which he was, both by time
and circumstance, necessarily debarred. Those
annalists who have been successively announced
as his continuators, seem to have been alike con-
scious of t'aeir incompetency tor the task, and to
have contemplated an epoch when it might be un-
dertaken without disparagement either to the
dead or the living, and when the truth might he
fully, impartially, 10.ria fearlessly told. That epoch
has strived., and, by a most auspicious coin-
cidence, the hopes connected with it are on the
eve of being completely realized. A great va-
riety of documents, illustrating the reigns of
William 111. and Queen Anna,yvhich had hither-
to been preserved in State archives and private
cabinets, have been entrusted to the judicious
scrutiny of the historian of the House of Aus-
tria and of the Kings of Spain, who, in embody-
ing these materials, bas displayed the same inde-
fatigable industry, guided by sound sense and
acute disci intimation, which characterize his for-
mer labours.

In ranking this work atnong the most valuable
contributions to English history, we allude both
to its era and its subject. The transactions of the
reign of :flume were too multifarious and extensive
to be detailed in the mere annals of that Sove-
reign, and require the auxiliary lights of biogra-
phy to bring into fall view the pi incipal actors in
the poli.ical scene. •Atuneg these, none bore a
more distinguished part than the hero of Blen-
heim, who shone no less in the Cabinet than in
the field ; and not only rettieved the fortunes of
his Country by a series of splendid victories, but
may also be said to have ruled the destinies of the
Continent at a most critical period, and to have
been selected by general consent as the arhih2r of
peace and war among all the allied Powers. Of:this
eminent person on authentic life had hitherto ap-
peartd ; and Mr. Cote therefore deserves the ap-
plauae of his Country for the zeal and ability
which he has displayed in removing the reproach,
by supplying this desideratum to our national
literature.
