getting to the Hon. Member fer Limerick, the propriety of
dealing fairly with an adversary, even though under the
influence of.warin feelings.
Mr. Secretary PEEL and Loud Nugent ruse together,
but' the call for the former being general Lord Nugent gave
way, and Mr. Peel proceeded. He did not wish to narrow
the freedom of debate in that House, nor did he interfere
before, as he felt that some Hon. Members would feel it
satisfactory to their own minds to offer some explanation ;
but he now begged to call the attention of the House to the
subject under discussion—(Hear, hear)—and to express
his hope that those personal observations wee at an end.
The further continuance of such a discussion would only,
have the effect of engendering personal feelings of irrita-
tion, and could produce no public advantage. (Hear,
hear.) He had himself taken an opportunity of express-
ing his cordial concurrence to the vote proposed by his
Right Hon. Friend, and he would not enter on the subject
again but to repeat the expression of his earnest hope, that
the House would confine itself to the real merits of the
question before it.—(Hear.)
Lord .NUGENT lamented that any personal feelings
should be mingled with this question. It had been his
fide to have opposed Mr. Canning in politics for many
years, on a variety of questions, and particularly ou that of
Parliamentary Reform, but nevertheless he thought this
small tribute was due to the memory of that great and la-
Merited Statesman ; nor did he fear the manner in which
this vote would operate as a precedent; fOr though he had
ever been an advocate for economy, he considered that
making a provision for the family of a deceased public ser-
vant, was a stimulus to other public men to use their
best endeavours in the service of their country. (Hear.)
Lord ASHLEY thought that this vote did not pledge
the House to approve of any part of Mr. Canning's poli-
tical life. It was merely intended as a remuneration to his
family for the injury done to his and their private fortune
during a• long course of public service.—(Hear.)—He
(Lord Ashley) opposed Mr. Canning during the last years
of his life, and would probably be in opposition to him
were he now alive ; but be had never allowed private feel-
ings to enter into his opposition.—(Hear, hear.)—He op-
posed Mr. Canning as a politician, and not as a father or
a husband, and he would as won refuse to give Mr. Can-
ning credit for his private virtues, as he would oppose this
vote on account of any errors committed by him in his poli-
tical life.—(Hear, kear. )
Mr. W. SMITH was opposed to Mr. Canning on many
occasions, and considered that his public conduct during
the last two years of his life was a sufficient and legitimate
ground for opposition to him, even on the part of those
who had previously supported his measures ; but it was
degrading to the 'character of this House to suffer personal.
feelings to interfere with an act of public iustice—(Hear)
—and lie agreed with the Noble Lord (Nugent) that it
would tend greatly to'elevate the character of public men,
and induce them to apply all their energies to the service
of their country, if they were actuated by the consideres-
tion that, after a life spent in the public service, their lit='
milies would be provided for by the public generosity.
Mr. LENNARD expressed his cordial assent to the
measure before House.

The Bill was then read a second time.
Mr. HUME intimated, that at the next stage of the
Eill he would take the sense of the House on it.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the
Hon. Member would suffer the Bill to go into Committee,
and he might take the sense, of the House upon the bring-
ing up of the Report.
It was proposed to go into Committee this day (V►'ed-
nesday.)
Mr. lIUME made some reply, which was not dis-
tinctly heard in the gallery, but we understood him to
assent to the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The Bill was then ordered t. be committed this day.

On the motion of Colonel DAVIES, the Cities and
Boroughs Poll Bill went • through Committee, several
verbal amendments were made, and the Report was ordered
to be brought up on Friday.
Sir A. GRANT brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee of Supply.
The Report was received, and the Committee obtained
leave to sit again to-morr.ow.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought
in a Bill to enable tavern-keepers to retail wine under certain
regulations.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, May 19.)
" CORFU', APRIL 1 s.—Thereinforcernews brought
by the squadron of Sachtury have been landed at.
Dragomestre. Some Greek vessels are expected in
the Port of Trevcsa, which are to commence in the
Gulf of Arta the operations for the invasion of
Epirus. A circumstance favourable to the Greeks
has lately happened in that country.. The Beys and
the Agas of advina and other places in Albania bad
not obeyed the orders of Redschid Pacha, who had
commanded them to repair to Janina. In conse-
quence of this, Redschid sent his son, with 50f)
men, to Dalvina, to punish the Albanian chiefs. But
the latter made :thethselves masters of the forts of
Sampa-Quarantana, and also intrenched themselves
in the citadel of Porto-Palermo.
" The most active among them was Sey, Bey, the
son of Mustaplia .Pacha. These chiefs are therefore
in open revolt against the Porte, and are become the
snore dangerous, because the Christian inhabitants of
the country have joined them. Their example may
have an influence very injurious to the Porte in time

" The journals have given this morning, as re-
ceived by telegraphic despatches, news from Lisbon
of the 3d of May. We have letters of the same
date, which may throw some light on the events of
the capital.
" Lfsno:.4, MAT 3.—1 know from good authority,
that Don Miguel was inclined to accept the crown,
if it had been offered him by a preponderating ma-
jority, and by the most essential part of the people.
Being deceived in his expectations, the Infante per-
ceived that it was necessary to temporize ; but in
his decree in reply to the address of the municipa-
lity, he expressed, in a manner by no means equi-
vocal, his satisfaction at the popular movements
organized in his favour. The latter part of the de-
cree indicates measures which are entirely consonant
to what had just passed.
" The firm conduct which the Foreign Ministers
continue to observe, has made a great impression
on the mind of his Royal Highness. who hoped that
their Excellencies, in giving an account to their
Courts of the late events, would infer from them
the necessity of suffering tin, Portuguese nation to
crown the Prince whom it had chosen ; as if any
thing more than a sound judgment was wanted to
see that the masses which acted on the sth were,:
pided by an influence from which the respectable
Inhabitants had kept free.
" The chief intriguersare now so sensible that their
plan ltas failed, that they would willingly endeavour
to prepare a second, more decisive ; but enormous
sun's would be required, and the penury of our
finances is notorious.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1828.

The French Papers of Monday, with the
Gazette de France and the ' Alessager des
Chambres dated yesterday, have been received by
Express, but they contain -no recent news from
Turkey.

In the Sittings of the Chamber of Deputies
on Monday, the Report of the Project of Law
on the Press was brought up, after which the
debate on the loan of eighty millions was conti-
nued. The Minister :of Marine said, " The
policy of France is easily miderst:Ood, the KING
desires the maintenance of order, and of all legi-
timate rights—the triumph ottberights of huma-
nity. A policy so generous, so honourable, is
not difficult to be judged of'. It is not a war
establishment that we ask of you. We desire to
place ourselves , en a respectable peace establish-
ment, in order not to lie surprised in any case by
events."

Letters from St. Petersburgh of 24th April,
say that the preparations both in
,Bessarabia and
Georgia, for the approaching campaign, are more
considerable than Rusia ever made before, and
that it never displayed such a •force even in the
war against France. 'lt seeins certain that the
Danube will be passed in several places, and that
General PASKEWiTSCH will advance from
Erzerum. „,, „

To meet the impending storm, it is said that
the SULTAN rill have 400,000 men ranged
round the standard of Mahomet, and the prin-
cipal leaders of the troops about to accompany
the GRAND VIZIER to Adrianople, hold a very
high tone respecting tho chances of war. In
fact, a blind enthusiasm in the fortune of the
SULTAN seems, to pervade the lower ranks of the
people as well as the army, but the higher cha-
racters, who have witnessed the successive change
of events, think very differently on the subject.
There can be no doubt that long ere this the
Danube has been passed and, perhaps, a decisive
blow struck at the Ottoman power in Europe.
It is said in some accounts that the Austrians
were expected to make an incursion into Servia,
probably %ith the intention of -taking previous
possession, in order to prevent the Russians from
•
looking to that coarter.
: Asattvdi 14.1
The acr.,ounts from say, that Don
MIGUEL has made several ineffectual attempts
to usurp the Crown, but was deterred by the
want of cordiality in the people. The chief
intriguers would yet make another attempt, but
the want of money alone prevents them.
The public Funds at Lisbon had fallen Nine
per cent. since the arrival of Don MtGuEL, and
they still continued to decline. The Infant
has keen proclaimed KING by the Municipal
Body of Oporto ; but the soldiers in garrison,
amounting to 3,000 men, had declared for Don
PEDRO.

In another part of our Paper will be found an
article front the Morning Chronick of to-day,
in which it is stated that the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON has conveyed to his MAJESTY the
determination of Ministers,-:that, the Catholic
Claims can no longer witt safety be delayed.
It is added, that the alternative Of his
Grace's resignation wit;; proposed, in case of
the Question being left in its present
state, and that the acceptance of that resignation
was advised by "a certain individual wh•se visit
to thin country has excited some surprise,'" but
that " this proposition was still more
unpalatable
than the concession." •

Without either confirming or questioning '
our Coteniporary's information on this subject
we are quite satisfied that such a state
of things can, at all events, be at no great dis-
twee. In the late debates, it was clearly esta-
blished, on unquestionable authority, that the
Irish Catholics are not inclined much longer to
