HOUSE OF COM7bIONS, JUNE 5.

The Srnaesn. took the Chair at a canter before four o'clock,
there being then forty Members ,present. After some routine be.
&Intel% had been disposed of,
Mr. BROUGHAM rose to moee for leave to bring in a Bill to
repeal such parts of the Act of Ceo. 11. c. 2. commonly called the
Irish Cerporatinu Act, as went to make Corporatera of non rest-
dents, who were not duly qualified aceordirg to the respective Char-
ters. lie said it was well known, that in past times, owing to the
penal disqualifications of cur l& inhabitants of Ireland, a I :r55 badg
of the people was shut out 11111neeligibility to .fill corporate cifices,
and the eonseqnenee was, in many small communities, non-residents
were apPointed members of the Corporations. Since that period,
fe..vever, many of these penal disqualikations had been reraored,
and the °rig:nal alleged necessity for extending the franchise to non.
residents in the manner in which it had been, had erased ; add as it
was found that many of these non.rasidentsheld their franchise is
direct violation .4f the provisions of some of the Charters, it was the
object of his Bill to repeal so much of the ]rich Corporation Act
as allowed non-resitlems not qualified by the corporate Charters to.
be members of these Corperation communities. The Honourable
and Learned Gentleman then obtained leave to bring in his lIM,
which he did at once; it was read a first time, and ordered to be
read a second time on Wednesday next.

had received the Petition of the Roman Catholics of Lite County
and City 14' Cork for presentation to that Ilott.:e. lie inteaded, but
was unavoidably prevent. d, to fulfil the desire of 11 a constituents
last night, end merely rose on the present occasion to give notice
that he should present this Petition on Wednesday next, as at this

Mr. ESTCOURT said that he was petteetly aware of the evil,

SOUTH AMERICA.
Through $a medium at the New York Papers, which
have been received to the 9th ult. as well as by direct
advices, we have a mass of intelligence from South
America, which, with a slight exception, may be con-
sidered as favourable to the independence of the new
States. Very satisfactory accounts have been received
from Peru: for, although General Alvear, who arrived
at Liverpool by the Lindsays, relates that there were
dissensions in the Royalist army, yet, according toletters
from Lima of the 23d of January, and accounts from
Panama of the 22d of March, a military council, as we
stated on Saturday, had been held of the officers of' the,
army of Canterac, the Spanish General, at which the
resolution was adopted, in the event of the fall of the
Constitutional cause in Spain, not to acknowledge the
Government of the " Absolute King." We also men-
tioned, that an officer was subsequently dispatched for
Lima, as was supposed with proposals to Congress for
an arrangement for peace. The reply of the Congress
was said to be, that the Government could not enter
into any treaty without consulting General Bolivar. A
communication afterwards took place with the General,
who was in head-quarters at Pitivilca, when the Conde
de St. Donas was appointed to convey an answer to the
message of the Spanish General. It was supposed that
Commissioners would be named immediately, to bring
the matter to an amicable issue.
In the department of the Isthmus of Panama recently
annexed to the Republic of Colombia, the best spirit
prevails. On a report that a French force was to be
landed at Panama from the vessels of war in the Paci-,
tic, the male population all took up arms. Upwards off
6,000 militia turned out, and a general muster took
place at Chorena, a small town in the department of
the Isthmus, when men of all ages presented themselves ,
as volunteers, to be enrolled for the general defence.
From Brazil the intelligence is of " a mingled far a." ll
An at rival at Philadelphia, in 33 days from Rio de Ja-i
neiro, has brought intelligence that the Emperor of
Brazil had declared that country free and independent.
The Erm ire is hereafter to be governed by an heredi-
tat y, constitutional, and representative monarchy. The
title of the Supreme Executive to be " Don Pedro the
First, Actual Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Bra-
zil." The Roman Catholic re:igion to be the prevailing
one, though other religions are to he tolerated, without
any external form of churches. In celebrating this
event, Don Pectic), with his family, attended the Thea-
tre, which unfortunately took fire, and with great diffi-
culty made his escape with the rest of the audience.
The Rio de Janeiro Gazettes, brought by the last
packet from Brazil, contain official information of the
Portuguese troops which capitulated in Montevideo
having left that place on the 6th of March, for Portu-
gal. The 13raziiian army commanded by General Ll 2 •
cor, had entered the town on the 2d of the same month.
By the capitulation and departure of the Portuguese
troops, the whole of the extended empire of Brasil is
consequently left without the presence of a single fo.
reign enemy. The same papers also iasert an Address,
sent by the Brazilian army occupying Montevideo, to
the Emperor, congratulating trim on the judicious de-
termination he had formed of dissolving the Assembly ;
and another was also laid before him, by a Special Com-
missioner appointed by the Authorities of the Cispla-
tine.Province (the eastetn bank of the River Plate), so-
liciong that the said Provinces may continue as an inte-
gral part of the Brazilian Empire, under the same laws.
Pernarobrico appears to be the only province, that re-
fused to acknowle:lge the lrnperialGovernment. Letters
from that city, dated the 19th of April, by the Bee,
Ca;aain J. M‘Bi ide, arrived at Liverpool, state that on
the 7th, a junta was held, when it was determined not
to receive the President appointed by the Emperor, and
that M. Carvallio should remain in office. Captain
Taylor, of the Imperial frigate, had consequently offi-
cially declared the port in a state of blockade. The
local Government continued their hostile proceedings
aga'nst the European Portuguese, and unless further as-
surances of the Emperor's sincerity were received ft oni
Rio, it was doubtful whether they would be allowed

to remain.
Captain 'Willis, of the 13: azen, applied to Captain
Taylor for delay in the operation of the blockade, for
vessels now loading in the harbour, which he granted
tll the 21st. Several ves,cls front Live:pool and other
places had arrived eft the port, but were prevented from
entering by the frigate>, and were of course forced to
proceed ro patio, and other ports. After the
!I.lst the blockade was to be strictly enforced, both
against outward and inward-bound ships.

I.Ii'ERPOOL EET / NG,
IN FAVOUR OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE NEW
STATES OF AMERICA.

Saturday last, pursuant to public notice, a Meeting
of the Gentlemen, Merchants, and other Inhabitants of
the town of Liveepool, was held in the Town.hall,.. for
the purpose of petitioning his Majesty's Ministers to ad-
vise the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council to
recognize such of the Governments of the late Spanish
and Portuguese Colonies in North and South America
as have established their independence." The Meeting
was most numerously and respectably attended.
The MAYOR (Charles Lawrence, Esq.) took the chair
at two o'clock precisely. He opened the business of the
Meeting. He did not, he was convinced, over-rate the
liberal feelings of this great community when he as-
serted, that no commercial advantages, however valua-
ble, would ever induce the inhabitants of Liverpool to
support any measure which did not at the same time
uphold the honour of the Crown, and the character of
the nation—( Loral applause). lie concluded by re-
questing the Town Clerk to read the requisition and
the names of the rcquisitionirsts.
Mr. STATHAM read them accordingly.
slr. Timm AS MOORE lose and said, that, as chairman
of she Committee of Requizitionists, he begged leave to
rrbrnit a series of resolutions which had been drawn up
under their auspices, ar►d which would, lie trusted, melt
uith the approbation of the Meeting—(Applause).
The Town Clerk then read the Resolutions, which
were as follows:
" Resolved—That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the un-
reserved acknowledgment, by Great Britain of the political inde-
pendence of the Spanish Colonies in North and South America,
would be productive of important benefit to the commerce of this
country; and, moreover, is demanded, not less by considerations of
sound commercial policy, than by that favourable regard which
every constitutional Monarch, and the people of every lice cannery
should entertain towards nations which have unequivocally asserted
their claim, and have, de facto, achieved their title, to be treated as
independent Powers.
" that the partial trade hitherto carried on with Spanish America
has been limited in extent, and rendered insecure iu its operations,
owing to the dubious character of the political relationship subsist-
ing between the several Colonies and this country ; inasmuch as
the property and commercial interests of the British merchant have
been destitute of that protection to which they would be entitled
