that their grievances were likely to attract the consi-
deration of the House. In 1803 the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs (Mr. Canning) had strong4•'adVor
cated the necesslty of inquiry, andle hoped 6at he
would :to-night, by his speech and vote, support an
amendment which hid 'the same object in its con-
templation.--•-The question was then put.
Mr. GOUCBURN thought the Hon. Members
who had just spoken had no neollef any apology •
entering at length into the state of Ireland—a couti-
' try with which they were ilb intimately connected.—
(Hear). No man could doubt there was sufficient
of danger and difficulty in Ireland to require the im-
mediate application of the measure now before the
House to that country. He must, therefore, perse-
vere in moving the second reading of the Bill, and
consequently he must oppose the motion of the Hon.
Baronet for inquiry, for he was one of those who
thought it impossible to go into such an inquiry
such a period of the Session. If they were told that
they had a case which would not bear the light, he
must say also, that such an insinuation was unfair, and
that the only reason was, that. the Committee of Sup-
ply having closed, the Session was approaching its
conclusion also. He was, however, ready to sit from
now till the next Session commenced, if he could work
any good for Ireland ; but when he looked at the
thinness of the .House, and the necessity for Irish
Members to be more usefully employed in their own
country, he could not accede to the proposition of the
Hon. Baronet. This opposition of his did not arise
from any wish ~to withhold from Parliament the in-
formation necessary on so momentous a subject as
this. The only thing that had prevented him from
moving for such a Committee as this was, the diffi-
culty of laying before the House theinformation ne-
cessary for it to come to a distinct opinion on the sub-
ject. But should these disturbances continue to exist,
and he be called upon to vonose these violent mea-
sures again, he would propose a Committee of In.
quiry into the state of Ireland ; and, in order to pro-
duce a beneficial result, the inquiry must be directed
to the very causes of the evil. The Hon. Baronet had
fallen into a popular error by attributing the whole
difficulties and evils of Ireland to the conduct of the
Government. In his opinion, the greatest part of,
them was to be attributed to the enormous increase of
population in Ireland. The first remedy would be by
the slow' and gentle operation
,ot education, acting
upon the manners and habits of the people. It could
not be expected that the institution of the schools
would bring about an instant or immediate changein
the state of the Counties•of Limerick or Cork ; but by
education was not meant the knowledge of reading
and writing ; it was instrn:tion in moral duties, and
the example of all countries taught him that, however
slow, such an education was productive of the greatest
good at last. He did not agree with the Honourable
Baronet, that education had had no erect in tranquil-
lizing the people of Scotland, for to that he (Mr.
Goalburn) almost alone attributed the greatly im-
proved condition of that part of the empire. He de.
:tied that the Treaty of Limerick being broken, and
the penal laws established, were the two peat causes
of the evils of Ireland. Those penal laws had been
long since repealed, and the people restored to the
state in which they were left by the Treaty of Lime.

would better discharge their duty by voting for the
second reading of the 13ill, without throwing any im-
pediment in the way of it—(ilear, hear).

THE MINISTER SECRETARY OF STATE OP THE
WAR DEPARTMENT.
41 MADRID, JUNE 14.
" My Lord—His Royal Highness charges me with
the honour of transmitting to your Excellency the
following news:
" The second
.column of the expedition, under
Count Rourmont, which had passed the Tagus at the
bridge. of l'Arzobispo and the ferry of Almaraz,
joined on the 11th at Truxillo. On the 12th General
Valin occupied Miajadas, and the two roads leading
to Merida and Nletielin : the rest of the column was
at El Escorial and Valmesia. Count Rourmont was
preparing to march en the I,th towards Merida and
Medelin, according to what should be heard of the
enemy. A post of 100 men is filed at Truxillo in a
fortified house, to guard the town and the communi-
cation with Madrid.
" On the 12th a detachment of infantry and lancers
had been sent to Cuceres to finish the disorganization
of the Revolutionary Government and favour the
army of the Royalists. This detachment is to Rejoin
the column at Merida.
" The Brigadier Merino, who flanks the move-
ments of General Rourmont, has beaten the Empe-
cinado at Moraleja, and killed ninety-five of his men,
besides those who perished among the mountains.
This action has delivered an extensive territory from
the cruelty of the Empccinado, and permitted the in-
habitants to declare for the Royal cause.
" An Officer of tht Staff, whom his Royal High-
ness had ordered me to send to Salamanca for news,
found that the division of Count Amarante had left
that town for Portugal.
44 This division, consisting of SOO cavalry and four
thousand or five thousand infantry, with six pieces of
artillery, arrived at Salamanca on the 21st of May:
it has observed the strictest discipline.
." In the night of the 7th, three couriers in quick
succession announced the different events in Portugal.
The last courier brought word that the Infant Don
Miguel had left Lisbon at the bead of three regi-
ments of the garrison; that this movement bad united
. all the neightiouring garrisons with him; that the
King was declared free; that most of the troops had
returned to Lisbon to guard his Majesty, while the
others went to fetch the Queen, and that all the Royal
Fainily was united; that the garrisons of Oporto,
Braganza, Ecc. had declared in favour of the King,
and that it was hoped that the city of Almeida was
also going to open its gates to the Royalist troops.

Mr. WARD, a Gentleman attached to the
Embassy at Sevilla, arrived this day at noon ill
Downing-street, with dispatches from Sir WiLtio
A'Cotntr. /le left Seville on the 15:1i
retrial of the KING to proceed to Cadiz ;,as vey
decisive, as it was considered the Royal pl..nt
might be endangered by the yellow fever, liich;;
very prevalent during the summer in that city.
The subject was discussed in the Cortes, who, oaths
motiou of M.GALIANO, seconded by M. A acout.es,
passed a Resolution, declaring the KING morally in.
capable of reigning, and forthwith appointed a Re.
gency, according to the forms of the Constitution
established for the case of the moral or rhysiqlia.
capacity of the KING.

Destitute of support in the Cortes, and insulted on
all hands, the KING and Royal Family set out fa
Cadiz, not by water, as has been stated, but by land,
on the 12th instant. The Regency went by the
steam-boat, accamipanied by such of the Ministers
as had not resigned, and such of the Officers of the
Government and Members of the Cones as plopodoi
to follow them.

This forenoon we received the French rapes if
Monday, and pirate letters, written on a latsk hap
that day, by Express. The following is

" According to thislast courier, Count Amarante
left Salamanca on the Bth of June, at 3 A. M. pro-
ceeding towards Almeida, passing to the right of
Ciudad Rodrigo. That General left at Salamanca a
Portuguese garrison, consisting of two battalions of
militia, SO cavalry, and two cannon, to protect the
town against the Spanish Constitutional troops that
have retired to Rodrigo.
" The Portuguese troops commanded by General
Rego, which were first sent against Count Amarante,
had retired to Portugal, and also recognized the
Royal authority. General Rego, as soon as he got
back to Portugal, had been summoned to Lisbon by
the Cartes, and deprived of his command.
" Lastly, according to private letters, all the troops,
without exception, have followed the example of the
garrison of Lisbon. (Signed)
" The Major-General Count GUILLEMINOT."
DISPATCH FROM THE MAJOR-GENERAL TO THE
MINISTER OF WAR.
•' MADRID, JUNE 16.
"My Lord—l have the honour to inform your
Excellency that a movement in favour of the King
took place at Cordova the moment a battalion of
Quintos left it. Count Bourdesoult hastened to pro-
ceed thither with his vanguard, and must have ar-
rived there on the 13th, to second this movement.
" The town of Jaen, and all the environs, have also
declared for the Royal cause, and are aiming to re-
pulse the fUgitives of Placencia's corps.
" The measure taken by Count Botrdesoult to send
home the Quintos, even those who are made prisoners,
occasion great desertion in the enemy's ran,lcs.

LETTER FROM MARSHAL MONCEY TO HIS EXCELLENCY
THE MINISTER OF WAR.
44 VICH, Just 16, Nine, r.m.
" My Lord—By my Report of the 3d of June,
your Excellency has seen, that persevering in the
pursuit of the corps of Mina, I found a column
charged with this expedition, under LieutAant•Ge-
neral Baron d'Eroles, composed of four Spanish bat-
talions, and the French brigade, under Major-Genel
ral Viscount Saint Priest.
" In my following Reports, I informed your Ex-
cellency, that I had also detached in pursuit of Mina,
Count Salperwich, Colonel of the Bth of the line,
with fourteen companies of his regiment.
" Lastly, your Excellency has been informed of
the movements against Mina in our lines ; of the en•
terprise which he seemed disposed to attempt at the
fort of Figueras, and of his countermarch in the di.
rection of La Cerdagne.
" Yesterday the Colonel of the Bth, writing from
Ribes, gave me the preliminary news of an encounter
and an advantage.
" All last night and the greater part of to-day, I
waited with impatience for a Report from Baron
Erolei, commanding the expedition.
" I was in this expectation when I received a Re-
.._

motion would go to an inquiry into the effects, ra-
ther than the causes of the evils which now lacerated
Leland. He could not, however, but distrust the
proinise of the Right Honourable Gentleman, that
inquily should be instituted,. if it was found to be ne-
cessary to resort again to coercive measures. Such
promises bad always been made by Government,
when they wished to cat ry such measures, and then,
when they bad got armed with the sword, upon the
sword would they alone depend, untaught by the
past and regardless of the furore. The Right Ho-
now able Gentleman had said and promised nothing
more than had been said and promised by every Sc-
cretary for Ireland doting the last twenty-five years.
He was convinced that, as long as the present system
of governing Ireland continued, we should have con-
stant rebellions in Ireland.
Mr.,' SMITH contended, that at present it was
the bounden duty of the English Ministers to attend
to the affairs of Ireland. She could never enjoy per-
manent tranquillity till the Catholic question should;
be set at rest. Oa the subject of education, he be-
lieved less had been done for her than the House was
aware of. He should support the Motion, though he
was afraid he should divide with a small minority.
Mr. ROBERTSON asked what the people of lie-
land would say, if they heard that so important a
question had been discussed in a House of scarcely
forty Members ? All the concessions to Ireland had
been extorted from our fears, and could excite no
gratitude. In a few years it was a probable case that
Ireland would be lost to this country. Let the people
of Ireland be put on an equal footing with the people
of this country, and they would be equally loyal. He
would endeavour togain the Catholic Clergy by giving
them stipends from the State—(Hear) ; and a portion
of the tithes might be applied in that way.
Mr. C. HUTCHINSON concurred -with the last
speaker in the greater part of his speech. Should his
Hon. Friend divide the House he should vote with him.
Mr. R. MARTIN assured his Honourable Friend
(Sir Henry Parnell), that if he thought the success of
his motion would .not do mischief to Ireland, he
would support him ; but such a motion, being coupled
with the Insurrection Act, became negatived as to
any value it could possibly possess.
Ms. S. RICE was in favour of the appointment)
of a Committee. The real cause of the disorders
of Ireland eras the way in which that country had been
governed for ages.
Mr. D. BRO WNE was in favour of re-enacting the
Insurrection Act, and that its provisions be rigon-
ously enforced against offenders.;
iVIr.:PEEL gave his decided negative to the motion
for appointing a Committee. The real question before
the House was, not whether they should have en-
quiry or no enquiry, but whether they should take it
now, at this period of the Session, or delay it to the next
Session, should it then be considered necessary.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
" PARIS, JUNE 23—sri o'cuicr.
gc The threat of the Spanish Ministers to send the
King bound to any place the Cortes pleased, if they
should so order it, has at length received its executids.
On Ferdinand's refusing to go to Cadiz, he has bee
formally deposed and sent to Cadiz, with two police
officers in the carriage, and accompanied by an croft
of two hundred cavalry. The windows, of the car.
riage are not suffered to be let down to receive the
air, and the troops have orders to suffer no persona
approach the carriage. It is stated that Sir Willies
A'Court made the most energetic remonstrance
against this conduct of the Cones, and declared

Spain, and not to the Cones, and protested in writing
against the measures adopted, and declared his in.
