THE LATE BISHOP OF ARMAGH.

The Will, as already stated in the Sue, of the Most Reve-
rend and Bight Honourable William Stuart, Lord Archbishop
of Armagh, Primate of all Ireland, was proved in Doctors' Com-
mons on the 23d instant, by the Hon. Sophia Margaret Stuart,
widow, his relict, and his son, William Stuart' Esq. two of his
Executors. The Right Rev. Nathaniel Lord Bishop of Down
and Connor,is also appointed, but has not yet taken the trust.
His Lordship, in the first place, gives to his wife X 3,000, to
be paid immediately after his decease, which sum is to be con-
sidered an ademption and in satisfaction of one thousand pounds
provided by the marriage settlement, and charged upon his
Leicestershire estate, to be paid to her in case he should not be-
queath her the same by his will. The interest of twenty thousand
pounds is also left to her for life, and after her death the prin-
cipal to the residuary legatee.
To his Lordship's daughters the Hon. Mrs. Knox and Loeb%
Stuart one thousand pounds each. To his son Henry forty
thousand pounds at 21, the interest in the ateantime to be applied,
at the discretion of the Executors, for his education, &c. and in
case of his death during minority, the. rincipal to fall into the
residue. The leasehold house in Hill-street, with all the furniture
(except only the linen, china, and earthenware, which is given
to Mrs. Stuart), and all plate, books, and pictures whatever,
with the residue of personal and all freehold estates, are left to
his Lordship's eldest son William. One thousand pounds is giver'
to the Bishop of Down, with his appointment as an Executor.
The will is dated the Ist of May last; a codicil is added on the
same day, bequeathing the sum of X 20,000 to his said daughttr
Louisa, in case he should not settle that sum upon her in his
lifetime.—The personal estate within the province of Canter-
bury is sworn under aC250,000.

Troops arrive from all quarters in Catalonia. There
have been some engagements of little importance;
but of good augury, with the factious. The Govern-
ment displays in this -respect the greatest activity,
and a remarkable energy. The guilty ptojects of our
enemies will have no serious results, they will, on the
contrary, be advantageous to the popular cause, as
they will assist in giving a mortal blow to that spirit
of apathy which it was endeavoured to spread. The
accounts from Barcelona contain interesting details
respecting the patriotic enthusiasm which our troops
and the inhabitants of that city unceasingly display.
The Cortes continue to receive addresses from the
Volunteer Militia of different Provinces, who request
to proceed at their own expense to Catalonia.
In the sitting of the 16th the Cortes unanimously
approved of the proposition made by the Deputy
Galliani, for testifying to the army the high satisfac-
tion of the National Congress respecting the offer
made for a reduction of pay, with reference to the
present situation of the Treasury. The Cortes, re-
serving to themselves to adopt a Resolution respect-
ing this generous offer, hasten to declare to the nation
that they see in it a new pledge of those civic virtues
of which the whole army have not hesitated to give
splendid proofs wherever they have acted in support
of the liberty, the glory, and, the independence of the
Spanish people.
• In the Sitting of the 17th the Cortes decreed, not-
withstanding the opposition of the Minister of War,
and of the Deputy Augustin Arguelles, a Project-of
six Articles, for disbanding the Brigade of Royal Ca-
rabineers from the Ist July, and incorporating them
with the other regiments of cavalry. The conduct
of this corps will be recollected, when under the orders
of General Frere, during the events of the Isle of
Leon. The spirit which appears to actuate this pri-
vileged btigade gives disquietude to the Constitu-
tionalists.
