PARLIAMENTitRr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE is. •
This day the House met at three o'clock; soon after which the
Lords Conunissioners, consisting of the Loan CNA SICELLOR,
Duke of MONTROSE, and Lord WALSINGVA34,SOOk their seats.
The Commons House of Parliament being in attendance, his
Belitesty's Commission, authorizing the Conunissioners to grant
.04 royal assent to the Bile enumerated, was read, when his Ma-
. went was liccordingly declared to the Ten Millions Loan
Etv I , Duty Bill, the Malt Duty Reguletion Bill, the
. ' the Irish Militialicatuitary Services IMII, the e
risk Nips the Land Revenue. Improvement Bill, to a Bill
authorising John Peter Grant, Esq. of Roddemurelins, to sell his
extensive woods In the County of Inverness; to employ the price
dispel* in purchasing other lands to be added to the entailed
estate; and to authorise the heir in poisession at the time, if so io-
dised, to become the purchaser Of suck **Gods, and a number of
other Public and Private Bills. ' ~.
The Earl of S'rANHOPE presented a petition from Major
Cartwright, against the Local Militia Bill, similar to the petition
presented for him in the House of Commons. The LORD
CHANCELLOR, at first, objected to the petidoo, on account of
the era in which the House was described, thrpetition being
dr ad-
to the Lords of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, in Parliament assembled ; and not, as is usual, to the
Lords " Spiritual and Temporal." After a few worth from Earl
STANHO PE, however, the Lord Chancellor was sadsfied that the
description was auffidettt, and the objection was, of course,
ROXBURGH PEERAGE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR begged to call the
attention of the House to this important case. The
House, in its judicial capacity, had been already oc-
cupied 25 or 26 days in hearing parties as to their
right to the estates. Great doubt, however, seemed
to be entertained, whether the clause of devolution
in the deed 1648, did not convey the estates and the
dignities together. The clause conveyed " All anal
sundry the lands, baronies, mills, woodsy fishings.„ tit [J
i
andilignity of an Earl, and others," to a certain series of
heirs, " and glkh all &axing be decease, or be not ob-
II
serving of the provisions, restrictions, and conditions
above written, the right of the said estate-sall pertain
and belong to the eldest dochter of the said umquhil
Hary Lord Ker, without division, and their heirs
male, she always marrying or being married to one'
gentleman of honourable and lawful descent, quha
sail perform the conditions above and underwritten ;
qlks all failzing and their saidis airis male to our '1
nearest and lawful airis males qtsomever." On this!
clause his Lordship observed, three different argu-
ments were founded : First; it was argued by Sir
James Innes, that, taking the clause in question in
conjunction with the former deeds expressive of Earl
Robert's intention •as to the settlement of his estates
and dignities, it was obvious that he meant to confer
them on the daughters and heirs male of the bodies
of the daughters of Lord Harry Ker in succession.—
.On the part of Colonel Walter Ker, another of the
claimants, it was argued tharthe deed 1648 was a
new investiture ; that the omission of the names of the
younger daughters of Lord Harry Ker, in this deed,
' was fatal to their claim and to that of their heirs ;
'that the omission of the words " of the body," evi-
dencei a change of. intention on the part of Earl Ro-
bert, theterm " heirs male," and " heirs male of the
body," being completely distinct from each other ;
and of course that Colonel W. Ker, as heir male of
Robert, first Earl of Roxbdrgh, and also as heir
male of Harry Lord. Ker, his son, was entitled to ,
the succession. On the part of Mr. Bellenden Ker,
it was contended, that the axiom in the law of Scot-
land was redo certhu, whereas, here it was ;wort° inter-
fix:. There was no clear and fixed destination marked ;
out, and therefore the late Duke was not bound by a ;
deed which he could not understand, but was entitled 1
to make out a new destination. pi these circum-
stances,
it was essential that the House should !
weigh well the mode • in which they proceeded i—
'for they must - feel themselves, placed ht a very I
•aukward situation, on the idei that it should' ulti-1
mately turn out that this clause in the deed of the 1
year 1648, regulated the succession to the estates
and dignities together, if while as a Committee of
'privileges they •gave the Dignities to one Clai-
, mant, they should find that in another capaCity, they
had decreed possession of die estates to another
Claimant. To avoid the possibility of falling into any
situation of this...kind, his Lordship had to propose
that...parties should be heard in a Cominittee of lari-
, Wars on the import of the Clause in question. He
Yorrill nor think h would be necessary in ' this. stage of
.*:besinest, to go fully into the claim, but simply
lnquire into what was the effect of that Clause in
!. • .
re onveying die.Digniti:es, and. what interpretatibii was
tio-be given to the words ".Heirs Male.' , To make
.this' . inquiry with effect, at the *same time, to save,
'IIA much as possible, the great espmge so the parties,
_and, to free those Lords who had town such unremit-
ting attention to the cause, from the irldome task of
carrying into their mlads all the particulars of it,
during the vacation; he should propose that the House
.sit on this stibject on other day* Wides those strictly
assigned to the esamination'of -the Questions ofPrt- 1
'liege, so that, the point might be deferminedin. the 1
course of the present Session. His Lordship then

The United Kingdom, Jssrtusos, has arrived at
Greenock, from Halifax, in 15, days. She Irings
intelligence that the Embargo still continued in
America.

We are happy to anncehe safe arrival-of the
Leeward Islands Fleet, under convoy of his Majesty's
ship DEFENCE, of 74 guns, and the MELVILLE, of 18
guns. The DEFENCE has taken charge of the vessels
bound for the River, and the MELVILLE of those bound
for Liverpool, Greenock, and St. George's Channel.

The Gentleman who arrived last from Spain, and
of whose manner of getting on board the STATIRA we
have before given an account, is a Don Josu CAs.
RAND! Y RENTERIA, and from !lists the following par.
titulars have been derived :—Before he embarked at
Corunna, on the 2d inst. he had been commissioned
by the Provincial Government of Oviedo, (by which'
too he was deputed to this country) on a special mis.
sion to Gallicia, where he found his brethren in
arms as ardent as those in Asturias, and equally re.
solved to resist their invaders. The Patriots have
taken possession of all the passes, strong holds, and
fastnesses in the several provinces. Instances occur
daily of the Spanish soldiers deserting in large bodies
to the insurgents (if they may be so called); indeed,
it has rarely been found that a detachment ever re•
turned after being so far removed from the main
body as to render their escape probable. At St.
Andero the same spirit of patriotism was displayed
by the people, who, being short of arms, had 10,000
stind sent to them by their friends from the adjoining,
provinces. In this small town upwards of goo()
young men had volunteered their services, and in ,e
course of a very short time had made great progress
in their discipline, having devoted every moment thq
could spare to the use of arms. The Bishop of St.
JAGO DE COMPOSTELLA was amongst the most zealous
in the good. cause, and had powerfully promoted it by
his example and exhortations. At a public meeting
he explained to his countrymen their real situation,
and strongly impressed upon their minds this impor.
taut observation, that they had already proceeded=
far ever to expect forgivenessfrom the invader, should
he prevail, and that their only security was in that
united valour and firmness. The plate from *
churches was, if necessary, to be converted into tat
jars, for the purpose of carrying on the war. The Ps.
triots were already in possession of a fund for that pgP
pose, equal to eight millions of dollars. A Mr. Lasaerr•
a rich merchant, had sent his two sons to join the inset.
gents in the district of ()tied°, and to present there..
visional Government with 80,000 dollars. Great pas
had been taken to ascertain -the precise French forte
in Spain, and it is said to be by no means so consider•
able as is supposed in this country. At Barcelona
there were not more than 15,000 men. It was a sub-
,.jtat of great satisfaction to the Patriots to find that 1
the French system in Spain was to garrison the '2
triOUs forts, from which it was confidently hoped that
"the troops thus dispersed would never be able to
mite, should ase
,ataxe of things render such a men'
'sure necessary: La St. Sebastian, there were 5,000
Wench troops erfiUlave taken possession of a strong
aide near to, that place, but from whom there was
little to apprehend. The standard erected by the
Patriots was that of FERDINAND the Vllta, for all
that passed at Bayonne was not known in Asturias.
The French flag, which had been flying at Comma,
was hauled down by the Spaniards. The Asturias
said to be-actually in possession of a Procla•
