there was such a person still existing as an Attorney-General and

lie would not decline a single sentiment offered by his hon. e 1,,!
learned friend, unless upon the sub-letting act. Under peculiar int.
pressinus men world speak warmly and fr...ely, but after tither L.
formation they might in past relinquish their original intention.-
The information required was fully warranted, and it was clear 0 t.
nokdicial opinion was now called for.
Mr. DOHERTY explained.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that never having read ti
trial, nor the speeches alluded to, he was still, after all that he ha.!
heard, disposed to oppose the motion. Ile considered that the eliarit,
made by the hon. member for Clare had no foundation, and that ant
vindication of it was altogether unnecew.ary. No imputation omit:
rest upon his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Doherty), even ac.
cording to the admission of the honourable and learned member Mt
Clare. He had said he would oppose the motion in its enlargLi
terms, but he could have no objection to the production of the depu.
sition of the 29th of April. With respect to the production of the
judge's notes, they could not be used as evidence ire any shape, he.
muse they would not and could not be legal, and therefore their
production could be of no material consequence. Under these cir-
cumstances he must vote against the motion, qualified as be had al.
ready done.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, that the production of the judge'.
notes was necessary to show the purity (it the judge and the het•
and learned member (Mr. Doherty.) They were tnere to tietertnitte
facts, and not to decide upon legal points. lie imputed no impro.
per motives to any man ; but inquiry, nevertheless, became absu.
lutely necessary. The main question at issue was one of fact, which
could be best decided by the judge's notes. Upon those grounds he
felt it right to say, that a tortuous course had been pursued, and the
if the learned gentleman (Mr. Doherty) meant to vindicate his ir.
nocence, he would not shrink front inquiry.
Mr. D. CALLAGHAN said that the Solicitor-General couP
not have done less than introduce the prosecution, in order to satiift
the feelings of the country. He had acted with every degree of hu.•
inanity towards the accused, and such ware the feelings of the juty
of which he funned a member.

The SOLICITOH-GEKERA L did not deny that the conduc
of judges and counsel should be brought before this house; but di;
occasions should be of the last importance. If the house acre
favour the present motion, there was no knowing to what extent 1.
would lead, and might in the end deter the officers cf the crux
from performing their duty. Ile meant no imputation up:l tlie
hon. and learned metnoer for Clare ; but at the same time he u.e
quite satisfied that the conduct of the Irish Solieitor.General sdi
beyond all blame. He was not sorry at the vindication which was
made by his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Doherty), although
considered it to be altogether unnecessary. In conclusion, he would
merely say that he opposed the motion.
Lord Of AVER said he felt regret that he should be under 0 .
necessity of withholding any information connected with the cu..
but upon every investigation he had been able to give to the trans.
action, he was convinced there was no discrepancy in the evidence

ber for Aberdeen, alien he declared his admiration of the speech',
of the hon. member fur Clue on the other aide of the water. Th.:
noble lord found himself obliged to oppose the motion.
Mr. O'CONNELL, in reply, said the Solicitor-General had in.
traduced his speech on the Sub-letting Act, but the concluding par
of that speech was not his. He accused the Reporter of harin..:
misstated what he said. The Solicitor-General had not read the depo-
sitions, otherwise he would not have entertained the house with soot.

speeches, but that noble lord was not qualified to judge of his eser•

also been lectured by the honourable member for Milbourne Port,
who had been a long time mixing up all sorts of subjects. The
Solidtor-General had said, that assassination was common in Ire.
land. Lord Kilwarden was killed by mischance in falling in wit;
&rebel mob. That Judge was in favour with the majority of the
people. He was only asking for evidence, and did not go into his case.
He did admit that he taunted the noble lord, because he would not al.
low him the evidence he required. All he asked for was evidence; gil e
him the documents, and he would prove his case. He could prose.
if they did„not prevent him, a variance in the depositions. The
boo. member deprecated the examination of the witnesses for the
crown by counsel out of court. He could prove his case, but the
noble lord was too dignified to grant him papers. The Solicitor.
General was also too
.sagacious to allow that evidence. All he
wanted was a reference to the nuns of the learned judge. lI had
been taunted to bring on his case, and all he asked t'or was the de.
positions.
Mr. PERCIVAL did not wish to apply himself to the argu.t
meats, but to a part of the speech of the honourable member fat
Clue, in which allusion bad been made to the conduct of t:
noble lord who had left the House. Whatever the honourable
member might think of the official conduct of that noble lord
(Oiwer), he was sure it would never be said that the noble lord
had lent himself to any party or measure which might increase
the hostility which had so long prevailed in Ireland. He did
not think the same observation could be made with respect to every
member in that House.

LON D ON.
THURSDAY, MAY 13.

THE KING.

The most gloomy reports have prevailed in the City
during the morning, relative to his MAJESTY. We are,
i.o truly happy to perceive, they are not justified
t)y this day's Bulletin.

"WINDSOR CASTLE, bLty 13, 1830.
" The Kix& has passed a more comfortable night.
" The symptoms of his MAJESTY'S complaint, how.
ever. do not vary."
(Signed)

" HENRY HALFORD.
" MATTHEW J. TIERNEY."

Whatever may be the result of the illness which
his MAJESTY, it Mitt be highly gratifying to
the nation to hear, that it has been borne with the great-
est furtitude • we have, in particular, reason to believe
that the operation to which the medical advisers thought
it necessary to rest, produced excruciating pain ; so much
indeed, as to have induced more than one member
of the Royal Family to wish it had been deferred. We
understand that His MAJESTY has derived great conso-
lation and support from the attendance and conversation
of the Bishop of CnicitEsTEß. It is said, that the
final disposition of his MAJESTY'S property has been
completed, and that the bulk of it has been bequeathed
!ti his favourite sister, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER.

The French Papers of Monday present no article of
peculiar interest,—party discussions continue with un-
abated vigour, but the expedition to Algiers absorbs
universal attention, since it seems that the existence of
the POLIGN AC Ministry depends on the success of this
tar-famed enterprize. Instead of giving lengthy quota-
tions from these Journals, we present our readers with
an extract from the Private Correspondence of the " Re-
pr(sehtant," which want of room prevented us from in-
=, fling before :

PARIS, MAT 5.
The warlike honour of our monarchical men has re-
turned. The honied tone which they assumed for some
days having deceived no one, they have come back to
their tintu:al sentiments. Their Journals, though dis- ,
4vo%ed by the Ministry, are not the less in its confidence,
or rather they have resr•rned the influence which it wished
to shake off. They are p..shing on for a dissolution; they
exclaim aloud that the new elections will decide whether
France is worthy of the paternal love of her Kiwo, and
the free institutions by which she is governed : and, to
prove that France is worthy of all this, she ought
freely to elect the men whom the ministry &sip I

nates. France, which laughs at all these absurciities,
will have the bad taste not to have such Well as are thus
recommended, and she will tnanifest tier predilection for
servitude, by sending persons to the Chamber, whom the
Ministers do not wish to see there. One thing is certain,
namely, that the Prefects no longer carry matters with
their usual high hand in the departments. In spite of all
their efforts, the voters for the address continue to be receiv-
ed with triumph wherever they appear. In the f&tes which
are giving to them, engagements have been made for
their re-election. The most able agents are traversing
the departments to secure voters, and their efforts are
crowned with the utmost success. These facts are known
to Ministers, and accounts for their occasional change of
tactics. Boy R MONT has arrived at Toulon. A person
' who witnessed his reception by the army, does
' not anticipate much enthusiasm during the pro-
jected campaign. Two officers of high rank have
already refused to serve under him; and it was the fear of
other resignations which has lead to the journey of the
Duke D'ANGOULEME.

The report is again confidently revived of a convention
with Russia and Austria, to lend their aid, in case of
need, to the views of Government. Prussia is a party to
the alleged treaty, and charged with the task of keeping
the Netherlands in order: but all these treaties will lead
to nothing. We march too quickly to be overtaken
in time. There is too great concert for us to bo taken in
detail.

Efforts are now making in Dublin for the suppression
of the practice of duelling. Meetings for the purpose of
obtaining a sentence of public condemnation against it,
have been recently held in that city ; and we find Mr.
O'Cosx ELI. confessing, in his place in the House of
Commons, that he has made a von• never to engage in a
combat of that description. The Yankees have also set
their faces against this usage. The New York Papers
contain an order of the PRESIDENT, upon a recommen-
dation of the Navy Department, dated 31st March
last, to dismiss from the navy of the United States,
four of its Officers, for having been concerned in
a duel, in which one of the combatants lost his life.
—Something of a kindred spirit, it would seem, is begin-
ning to be felt in England. The survivor in a late
fatal duel in the neighbourhood of London, is shunned
by all his friends, and reduced, in consequence, to the
most abject state of distress, although acquitted of crime
by the verdict of a jury ; and it appeared on the trial that
he had pressed an apology on his adversary, in order to
avoid the fight. That duels should be sometimes at-
tended with bloodshed, is, we apprehend, a very natural
consequence. Were it otherwise, they might be ex-
pected to prove a daily occupation, among a certain class
of men. We are glad to find an effort made to restrain
this appeal to a court of honor, as it is called,
because it is a mode of trial in which the innocent is
just as likely to suffer as the guilty. On the other
band, it will be admitted, there may be many injuries,
against which the law provides neither preventive nor
redress. How many cases of insult may be conceived
that do not amount to assaults ? How many cases of
reflections upon character that do not amount to libels,
but more galling, more painful than any libel ? For all
these the sense of personal danger, the fear of a chal-
lenge is the only remedy or preventive open to the in-
jured party. It is thus the decencies and proprieties
that give grace and beauty to society are maintained
against the encroachment of gross and vulgar minds and
habits. Duelling is a barbarous practice, and we wish to see
it abolished; but, at the same time, to see some substitute
provided to enable a man to live in society without an
awe of every individual of superior physical strength who
may choose to wound his feelings. These anti-duelling
meetings, when they put down duelling, will leave their
work very imperfect, if they do not contrive some means
to make every rude fellow to keep a civil tongue in his
head.

The Paqucte de Portugal, a publication to which
we have frequently called public attention, contains an
able refutation of the pamphlet noticed by us a few days
ago, entitled—" The Rights of Don MIOULL to the
Throne of Portugal incontrovertibly established." We
yesterday received the copy of another production, in the
shape of a letter to Lord PALMERSTON, on the speech
delivered by his Lordship on the 10th of March. This
is also from the AssEcA press, and contains a mere
repetition of former sophistries. We may, perhaps, be
induced to notice a few of these. In the mean time,
we do not hesitate to tell the author that his occupation
is nearly gone,—for it is no longer a secret that events
in Portugal are hurrying on towards a denouement,'
which will save the partisans of the usurper all further
trouble, as it will Europe the pain of seeing a whole
people cursed by his yoke.

In the Morning Journal of this day, we find it an-
nounced that the present is the last publication of that
Paper. Opposed as we uniformly have been to the poli-
tical principles of that journal, we conceive ourselves
called upon to offer a few observations upon this occur-
rence. In the first place, it becomes us to state, that
conscientiously entertaining the opinions which we ad-
vocate, our hostility in opposing the sentiments of others
has never been directed nor carried beyond the fair and
legitimate bounds of free discussion. Our war is not
one of extermination. We wish to give to every human
being an open stage, and fair play. We desire to see no
man hunted down by the forms of law—and, in a coun-
try called a free one, deprived of his right of expressing
himself freely and fearlessly upon subjects of great in-
terest to the community, and especially upon such as may
be in progress of discussion before the legislature. It
cannot be denied that the Morning Journal has fallen a
victim to state persecution—a persecution, which we
hesitate not to say, is a stain upon the Duke of Wu.-
LINGTON'S administration. The paper may have been
intemperate in its articles—it may have expressed
itself in very strong and very unmeasured terms
of members of the present Cabinet. But what

then ? Are p►►blic men to expect that the mouth/11
of those opposed to their measures are to be gag-
get!, or that in carrying of such a meat measure
as that of Catholic Einan:.ipatn.n—a u:easur• which had
agitated the country for •,-eaw,—hostility, force and I
furious, was not to he encountered ' We rejoiced
in the success of the Cathoh' cans,', because we
looked upon such IRICCO.;3 as th forerunner of great and
substantial good, and we could therefore afford to sini:e
at any extravagant cr ill-timed oiposition.
Those who are acquainted, as we are, with the na-
ture of newspaper property, will readily sytayathiza in
the loss which the Proprietor of the Morning Journal
must sustain, in the total destruction of his p:ol•erty, in
addition to the pains and penalties of a prison, which
that gentleman is at present enduring We know of no
species of literary labour so severe as that upon the
newspaper press—the labour incessant and harassing—
the remuneration inadequate and uncertain—and, in too
many cases, the sad result—wrecks of health, as well
as wrecks of property.—From the conclusion of the
parting address of the Editor, we behold another instance
in the Morning Journal, to the number already upon
record, of the frail dependence upon the promises of party
in the day of adversity and trial.
We may add that when a subscription was proposed
to indemnify Mr. ALEXANDER, we felt it our duty to
give the resolutions to that effect a conspicuous place in
our columns. We now say, in the same spirit, and sure
we are that the Press throughout the United Kingdom
will join with us in the sentiment—that Government, if'
it consults its own dignity, and cares ought for the good
opinion of the public, will at once remit f c fourth ope- '
ration of the sentence against Mr. ALEXANDER.- We
say more—we say that it is bound in common j.. tice to
do so. Ruined as the individual is in his property,
it would be cruel, and rivalling the worst days of state
prosecutions, to press upon him still ma:o the iron hand
of power.

CITY, Tw ELV E &CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are again scanty, consequently we have
not much information to com:nunieate at present. The Funds re-
main steady, and Consols opened at the same price they left off yes-
terday 92j f for the Account, with little or nothing doing. The
unfortunate situation of his majesty, with the unurtainty of his
health ever being restored, throws a great damp on all speculations
in the City, and every bulletin is sought after with the greatest
anxiety which may give some new light of his disorder.
In the Foreign Market Spanish has improved.

Halifax Papers to the 16th April, received at the N.S.A. Coffee
House. From the paper of the 14th April :—At three o'clock on
the 13th, his Honour, the President, proceeded to the Council
Chamber, after which his Honour was pleased to close the Session
with the following speech :—" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen
of the House of Assembly,—When I had the pleasure to
meet you here on the 11th of February for the dispatch of pub-
lic business, and had nothing of moment to submit to your
consideration, I did entertain a :sanguine hope that, by your united
endeavours and cordial cooperation, the session would not have
detained you long ; but 1 am sorry to find that, although
more than eight weeks have elapsed, the most important
measures as regard the immediate interest of the province, remain
in a state of abeyance, in consequence of the difference of opinion
on points, which have long been established and recognised as ne.
cessary for the salutary and effective conducting of the affairs of a
government, constituted as ours is.

Understanding there is little probability of your accordance in
the matters that arc pending under such circumstances, I consider it
my duty to relieve you from further continuance in session, that
you may return to your homes to attend to your private concerns.

After which, by his Honour's command, the Assembly was pro-
rogued to the lit of July next.

Accounts from Paris state that the mother of Napoleon had broke
her right leg, and was in great danger.
A vessel has arrived at Havre, from the Manilla. Upwards of
2,000 rats were found on board : the sailors eat a great quantity of
them during the voyage.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

Consols have continued during the whole of the morning at 1121
for the Account, with scarce a bargain doing, and for money the
same. The Estafette brings the French Rcntes, 82.65. Spanish
Bonds have got up at Paris to 18.

The Foreign Market is also in a stagnant state. Spanish Bonds
maintain their prices.
We have very unfavourable reports in the City in regard to his
Majesty, and it is the same at Windsor early this morning. The
public are very anxious for the appearance of the Bulletin.
It is said that Government received yesterday an came,' from
Constantinople, and it brings the sanction and approval of the Porte
to the definitive arrangement with Greece. The above is the report
on Change.
