IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

THIS EYEING.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LOhD CHANCELLOR. entered the House at a few
minutes before Five o'clock.

Lord ROLLE presented a ptiticn from Kingsbridge,
Devon, against Emancipation. . .

The Marquis of THONIOND presented two petitions
from the county Cork, spinst Emancipation.
Lord HARDWICKE presented a petition from the Stir-
geocs of the county of Cambridge, praying that their Lord-
ships would revise the laws for obtaining bodies for dis-
•ection.

The Bishop of CIIICHESTEIt presented several peti-
tions against further concessions to the Catholics.
The Earl of WINCHELSEA presented petitions against
further concessions. The Noble Eng had alto a petition
to present from Sir Harcourt Lees, praying that their
Lordship would not grant further concessions until the
Catholics had renounced allegiance to any foreign Power.
The Earl of GUILDFORD presented a petition from
Dover, agreed to at a public meeting, and signed by 1,560
persons, praying th It their Lordships would grant no further
concessions to the Catholics, whose tenets they considered
irreconeileable with civil liberty. No petition ft orn any town
4:onld be more worthy the consideration of the House than
this. Not only on account of its commercial and local
importance, but also for its uniform aitachment to the
just prerogative of the Crawn. Previous to the
opening of the present Session, the petitioners had
abstained from all interference with the question; and
it was . the recommendation alone advised by Ministers
that had excited their apprehensions, and stimulated them
to the present treasure. The Nobly Lord had carefully
perused the petition, lie knew nothing of the subject of it
till he had received the commission to present it to
their Lordships. In doing- this he begged leave to
say tlalt he concurred most heartily in the nature of its
contents. He would not bias their Lordships either one
way or the other, but would leave the petition to speak its
own sentiments. He trusted that it would have due weight
with their Lordships, and be the means of removing those
terrors under which the petitioners at present laboured.
The Earl of DARNLEY had understood the Noble
Lord to say that the petition was the unanimous voice of
Dover. _ _ _

Lord GUILDFORD observed that he Lad not said so.
Lord DARNLEY had misunderstood the Noble Lord
then. He himself had a petition from a number of free-
holders of that town, most numer3usly and respectably
aigaed, of an apposite nature. He must however beg to
say, that the petition presented by the Noble Lord (Guild-
ford) was any thing but the unanimous opinion of the in-
habitants of Dover,

Lord GUILDFORD believed that the population of
Dover at the last -census was estimated at, 5000. only 2000
of whom Btiff.. competent, he thought, to sign the petition.
Now the Fire4nt petition, as he had before stated, was
signed by upwards of 2500 persons.
...Lord KING believed the terrors which the Noble Lord

(Guildford) had adverted to, were uaknown in this country,
unsil the publication of a little work, called the Protestant
Almanack, in 1680, two years after Titus Oates established
the first Brunswick Club. That terror had been handed
down f►om oue old woman to mother, till it had
attained to that enormous height so which the Nohie
Led hail alluded. He would entertain their Lordships
with reading a story or two out of this notahlework. For
inst ince. Pope Sylvester II gave himself to the devil, and
wor,hipped him. Another Ecclesia-tic entertained the
Devil at dice.—(Great laughter.) His Lordship went on
to say, that he prized this work, otherwise he should feel
diaposed to make a present cf it to some of the Brunswick

Lord GUILFORD was very much obliged to the IsTnble
Lord for his amusinz stories, but did net feel disposed to
give then the appellation cf chi wooien's.
Lord DACRE pt .z.fiented a petition from Ruyston, in fa-
vour of tht Catholic Claims.

The Marquis of CLANRICAItDE presented several pe-
tions, praying further concessions to the Catholics, and
the repeal of the Sublettirg Act.
The Doke of DEVO'NSIIIRF. presented petitions from
the tnitarian Chapel of Beevet, from Milford, fur repeal
of the laws against the Roman Catholics.
The Bishop of LINCOLN presented a petition against
the Catholic Claims from the Deanery of Beckingham,
gaol ;wo other Deaneries.
BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE had on a former night
presented to their Lordships' House a petition, professing
to come from a person named Watson, an Alderman of
the city cf Limerick. He hid since ascertained
that this petition was a forgery, and contended
as a hoax upon the petitioner. His Lordship had since
written to the individual, disclaiming all knowledge of it.
—Since that three other letters had reached his Lordship,
on the same subject, hut all infferent hand-writing. The
question for their Lordships then was, whether this
gught to be considered as a Breach of Privilege,
or whether, as be conceived it was not too contemptible to
call for any further consideration.
The Earl of LIMERICK said, that when the Noble
Lord (Downshire) had spoken to him on the subject of
that petition, he (the Earl of Limerick) was con-
vinced that it was nothing but a hoax ; however,
he w is not disposed to treat it so lightly as the Noble Lord
had done, being, as he conceived, a violation of the respect
due to the House. He hail a letter from the individual whose
name had been made use of, which he would read as a part
of his speech. [Alderman Watson'. letter denied
all knowledge of the petition.] The Earl of Limerick, in
conclusion, said that he had no motion to make on the
subject, being satisfied to leave it in their Lordships' dis-
cretion to dispose of it in whatever way appeared consist-
ent with the respect due to the House.
The LORD CHANCELLOR put the question, whe-
ther or not this attempt to impose on ;Noble Peer should
or should not be treated as a breach of privilege.
The majority of their Lordships were of opinion that
it was unworthy of further consideration.
The Earl of LONGFORD defended himself from
the charge that was made against him last night by a
on the opposite of the House (Lord Plunkett). That
Noble Lord had spoken in favour of the Catholic Associa-
tion, and had condemned the Brunswick, but he (Lord L.)
thought there was a vast distinetien between them, the one
being established for the preservation of the Constitution,
whilst it overthrow and subversion was the manifest
object of the ether. His Lordship then adverted to the
period when that Noble Lord was Attorney-General for
Ireland, contending generally that, in that character, lie bad
neglected his duty in scspect to the pulling down an As-
riocsation which spread sedition through the Country.
The Noble Lord concluded by presenting three petitions
against the Catholic Claims.

Lord PLUNKETT rose to defend himself from the at-
via of the Noble Earl, and was left speaking.

HOUSE OF COMMONS

The Srza IC ER took the chair at tea; minutes before Four
o'clock.

tion of the Police of Londonderry.—Read a first time.

ping Wycombe and another place in the county of Btrks

. _

Mr. FITZGIBBON presented a petition from a parish

the petitioners, and truced that the constitution of the
country would not l e changed.
Mr.- LYTTLETON presented a petition from Harling-
ston, in the county of Suffolk, against the Catholic Claims.
Mr. MUNDAY presented three petitions from places in
the county of Derby against the Catholic Claims. The
Hon. Member said ever since he had had a seat in that
House he had voted in unison with the prayer of the peti-
tioners, And nothing that had taken place had in the least
changed his opinin, he should when the measure was
brought forward vote as he always had done.
Colonel LYGON presented a petition against the
C•mtho-
lie Claims from some place the name of which we conk!
not catch.

Mr. BRANSBY COOPER presented a petition from
the inhabitants of Gloucester against any further conces-
sion.; to the Roman Catholics, and on Tuesday next he
should have to present another, as he understood, very
numerously and respectably signed. The Hon. Member
said he was afraid to contemplate the consequences that
would entitle if Catholics were admitted into Parliament.
On the mrtion that the petition he printed,
Mr. HUME said he thought no Member bad expressed
himself an strongly against the proposed measure as the
Hon. Member for Gloucester; he had a right certainly so
' to do, but he (Mr. Hume) was itti'ormed that the lion.
Member's speech had been printed and very industriously
circulated in Gloucester and its vicinity, and was posted
up in all the public rooms. He (Mr. IL) said when pe-
titions of this nature were presented, to the !Italie, it
ought, to be stated whether any measures had been
rssorted to, to inflame the public mint!. Let the peti-
tions that were presented be spontaneous, and they would
be respected by the House. lie was informed that time
petition which the Honourable Member would present on
Tuesday will have the signatures of people never before
heard of in that part of the neighbourhood—(hear),—it
had been agreed to several days since, and separate sheets
of paper were sent in all directions to obtain signatures,
which were to he attached to the Gloucester petition.—
There was no place where petitions had come from, leas
worthy of credit than those from the neighbourhood of
Gloucester. He should oppose the petition being received
on Tuesday next, except as the petition of the undersigned.
Mr. BRANSBY COOPER was not aware of any in-
flammatory baragues to which the Hon. Member had al-
luded, anti with respect to the printing of his speech,it was
published by an individual without his knowledge. The
Hon. Member then presented a similar petition from Swaf-
fam, in the county of Gloucester.
In answer to a question front Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
some one of his Majesty's Ministers would, on Thursday
next, state to the House the details of the measures intend-
ed to be brought in for the relief of the Roman Catholics.
[LEFT arrrlxo.] •

It will be seen by our report Gf the Oxford elec-
tion, that the exertions of Sir R. Inglis's friends
have produved a small majority on the first day's
poll. We would therefore urge these friends of
Mr. Peel, especially those in London who are con-
fident of success, to imitate the zeal and energy of
the adversary's party, and to share, by their perSonal
presence, in that triumph of a just cause, which
may indeed be achieved without them, but to which
it will be a distinguished honour to have contri-
buted. They could never forgive themselves if any
want of active co-operation on their part should lead
to an unfortunate result. Let them be stirring and
early in the field, and success is certain. The elec-
tion may continue till to-morrow, but cannot continue
longer.—Times,

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Alessager des Chambres of Tuesday.)

PARIS, FEB. 23.—The Berlin Gazette contains
the official bulletin of the taking of Kali by the
Russians. Some German journals have asserted
that the Russians had abandoned that post after
having made themselves masters cf it. This is in-
correct. The tower of Kali is still in the hands of
the Imperial troops, only Generals "Mali..ofski and
Bergmann have not judged it necessary to leave in
that fete-de-pont all the troops that were employed
in taking it. In consequence two of the Russian
divisions have rearmed their positions farther back,
and support the corps left at Kali.
Yesterday, before mass, the Papal Nuncio pre-
sented to his Majesty, in a private audience, the
letter of the Sacred College, announcing the death
of Pope Leo XII. The English Ambassador at
P::ris despatched, the evening before yesterday, an
extraordinary courier to Corfu.

The uncertainty ‘vhich prevails rcFpecting the de-
tails of the events at Mexico, must soon cease. A
packet-boat, No. 1, Captain Duprat, arrived in the
river of Bordeaux on the 20th instant, and the
news which it brings will be kno►rn to-morrow at
Paris.

The private correspondence of the Precursettr gives
the following news from Toulon, dated Feb. 16 :
" On board the Dido frigree, which sailed lately,
there were five young Greeks as passengers, who it
is said did not consent to return to their own country
except on the formal assurance given them by the
Government, that the three allied Powers would
defend against every aggression the provinces
forming the free state of Greece, according to the
boundary line drawn by the Ambassadors, and that
the organization of the Greek Government would be
always under the protection of France.
" But little news is received from Greece. It is
announced that Colonel Fabvier proceeds with
astonishing activity in the organization of the Greek
Moreote troops. Those which are already equipped
are sufficient to garrison the fortresses of the Morea;
the others will be employed in expeditions against
the neighbouring provinces which are still in the
power of the Turks."
(From the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday.)

The news of the suspension of the evacuation of
be Morea by our troops is again circulated to-day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday Willi-ant Clay, from appearance a jaurney-
man carpenter, was charged before Messrs. MARRIOTT and
WHITE, with atrsaulting his landlady, Mrs. Fitkins, of
No. 5, Marsham-street, Westminster.
The complainant, it appeared, was a 'Went anti-Ca-
tholic, and the defendant was a strong advocate for Catho-
lic emancipation, from which arose the following assault.
Mrs. Fitkins stated, that the defendant was one of her
lodgers, and about ten o'clock o❑ the previous evening he
flew at her in her room and struck her several blows,when
she was forced to call for assistance and lodge him in the
7vatch-house.

Mr. MAaalnrr —How came you to assault your land-
lady in this manner ? " Your worship," replied William
Clay, " its all owing to this Catholic question. I have
balged with Mrs. Fitkins six years and three months last
Saturday, and we have always been goal friends until there
has been all this talk about the Catholic question, but ever
since that has been brought forward we have bad nothing
but disputes on the point. She wsnts to convert me to
her opinion an the subject and the "No Popery cry," and
I won't have it, but stick to my own."
The Magistrates (laughing) observed there was a great
difference of opinion on the subject, and they were sorry it
should create a disturbance in families.

" Your Worship," said Williem Clay, " I have never
had a moment's peace in the house ever since the meeting
of Parliament. My landlady is on one aide of the question
and I on the other."

.Mr. MARRIOTT.—That is very unfortunate. I think
you had better part, if you cannot live on amicable terms.
" On amicable terms while this Catholic question is the
talk, it is impossible!" replied William Clay. "Last
night I was reading attentively, when I and my landl tdy,
Mrs. Fitkins, began the old dispute, and a pretty strong
argument we had of ir. I thought I had partly convinced
her she wan wronz, when she flew at me, snatched the
book out of my hand, capsized the table, and I own, in the
defence of my own opinions on the subject, I did give her
a rap or so."
Hera Mrs. Fitkins and William Clay commenced an
argument on the Catholic question, and it might have
lasted until doomsday before either was convinced, but
they were quickly cut short by the Magistrates, who did
not appear to have any wish for the discussion.
Mrs. Firkins, on being questioned by the Magistrate,
did not deny but the disputes on the Catholic questitin
with her lodger had been the origin of the assault, as he
was such an obstinate man, and there was no convincing
him with all the argument in the world.
Win. Clay—Nat with such arguments as you hold,
Mrs. Fitkins, for I am of opinion, and I will put it to
their Worships, that—
Here the defendant was stomped in his argument by the
Magistrates.
Mrs. Fitkins began to reply on the Catholic question,
when she was :dm stopped, and Win. Clay undertook,
before the Magistrates, to leave Mrs. Fitkins's lodgings,
and not argue the Catholic question with her any more.—
With this understanding the case was dismissed.
