Mr. It:FITZGERALD rose -for the.purpose of
moving,*that the Petition presented from the County
of Kerry, in support of a Commutation of Tythes, be
referred to a Committee. From his knowledge of
Ireland he could say, that there was no part of that
countrr where the grievances attending the present
systetn of tythas were more severely.felt, and to them
be ascribed, in a great measure, the unpleasant dis.
turbancei which had there taken place. • He then
proceeded, to.vindicate the proceeding's of the meeting
of freeholders, from whom this Petition origieatei
He denied that they were actuated by any thing like
faction, or that they had any wish whatever'to trench
upon the property of the church, for they were fully
aware, that, under every modification, the *venue of
the church must be derived from the laid. He could
also say, that the objections to. the present system of
tythes were not
,conned to this or that Class of reli-
gionists, but were general all over Ireland, not even
excepting -the majority pf the Established Clergy
themselves. He was notf however, disposed to urge

to ferment in that country. Having taken that op
portunityPf,delivering his seniunents, he then moved,
faro ferule, that.the pemtson bereferred to a Committee.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said he should avail himself.of that oppormthity d
shortly expressing his sentiments on the sttbje4. He
could say, that -his Majesty's Ministers' were fully
stir are of its importance, and he wonicLedd, that when-
ever he had considered the subject in all its bearings,
it had always Seemed attended with new dlfficultms.
The subject should engage his anxious attention dur-
ing the recess of Parliament, though he was not san-
guine in his hopes that he should le able in the neat
sesiion to yiropose any measure that would be gene-
rally satisfactory. He had had various private con-
inrsaticmi on the subject, and bills had even been
shown up Lv the purpose of seeing the various bear-
ings of any new measure; but he could not engage
tabring forward any thing thin would produce a total
change of the system of tythes, thongh perhaps some-
thing might be done to remedy those grievances which
_were supposed to effect the interests of the commu-
nity ; but he did not, for one, believe that their situa-
tion would be at all bettered by the abolition of tythes,
since the only effect of that would be to raise their
'tents; He should only add that the subject had en-
gaged his anxious attention, and that his attention
would be continued to it.
Mr. PARNELL expressed his satisfaction, that
the Right Hon. Gentleman had puLlicly declared his
opinion.
Mr. PONSbNBY said, he heard with great satic-
fact.on what the Right Honourable Gentleman bad
said upon the subject, which, while it was important
to the welfare and trappility of Ireland, was also of
the greatest difficulty in its own nature, but lie hoped
not insurmountable, by time, patience, and discussion.
----3 MATTHEW - " - -

General MATTHEW said, he held in his hand
a Petition from the County of Tipperary on the sub-
ject of tythe, which however, from what had fallen
frnm Duerr, he should not present in the present
,Session"

Sir G. HILL observed, that he should ever pro.
test against any measure respecting tythes being er
elusively confined to Ireland. No distinction should
be.made between the churches of the two countries.
Mr. HUBERT Old, that the great objections by
rather to the mode of collecting tythes, than to their
ainionnt: With regard to the grievances of the pea-
santry of Ireland, he believed they neither arose from
the Government nor theLaisdholders, but rather from
_long habits, usages, and customs.
Mr. BURTON said he shad spent a great part of
his life in a Court where tythes were often the subject
of snit, and he had found, the More it was consider-
ed, there were the reeler difficulties in settling a

Mr. SHERIDAN, haying formerly given notate
of a motion on the grievances of Ireland, felt himself
called upon to say a few words on the present sub-
ject, which did not appear to him ?derided with those
unspeakable difficulties which had been supposed.—
He hoped that Ministers would search with earnest-

General Sir Aswan: WELLESLEY set off last night,
at nine o'clock, for Holyhead, whence he will pro
teed to Dublin, for the purpose of paying his respects
to his Excellency the LORD LIEVELvAN: Of IRELAND,
and taking his leave. From Dublin he proceeds to
Cork, to join the expedition fitting out there for the
assistance of the Spaniards. The Honourable Firs-
ROY STANHOPZ, Aid-4111s-Camp to the General, and
Captain Cnsmsriz., is Etat Major, left London at
the same time.

In the preceding columns we have given some neees i
from America, received by the Swedish ship Batts
.armed at Dover from Charleston.
Private accounts mention, that Congress was to ad
iourn on the 26th of April, predious to which a Bil;
Iras to pass, authorising the Fassaalan to take off the
'Enhargo, should circumstances occur, shit in his judg-
rient might render its continuarip unnecessary.
The letter from Barbadoes of the 12th ult. is also
worthy of notice.

The Spanish Gentleman of rank *ho reached town
yesterday from Plymouth, left Corunna on the 6th
inst. It now appeapF that he and the two Ns/hies who
arrived some days 3/40, were sent to our Government
bg the triennial Council of the Asturias, which, for-
tunately for their country, had their periodical meeting
at this critical conjuncture. The Assembly of Oviedo
is not, therefore, to be regarded as a body casually
collected on the spur of the occasion, but is the regular
Council of the province, to which all the districts
send representatives once in three years and which
choose a body of seven to be a' permanent Council
during the interval of their vacation. This regular
mpresentative body it is that has taken the steps which
