DOWNING-STREZT, APRIL 26.
A Letter, of which the fallowing is an extract,
bas been received from Lieutenant-Colonel Bourke,
'dated Corunna, April 14, 1813 :
" An official account, which I have received from
'the Governor of Castro Urdiales, reports the investi-
, store of that place, on the 18th ultimo, by about three
thousand men under General Palornbin, who, after
different attempts, in all of which he was beat off by
the garrison, retired on the 25th towards Bilboa and
Durango. The immediate cause of his retreat, was
the approach of General Mendizabel, with the divi-
sion of Longa and other corps, to the relief of the
place. The enemy lost in the different attacks, and
in a skirmish with the force under General Mendiza-
bel, on the 26th, near six hundred men, in killed,
wounded, and missing. The greatest excesses and
barbarities were committed by the Italian troops in
, the villages in the neighbourhood of the place, during
the period of the siege. General Mendizabel has
since returned with his troops to Valmaseda and
Orduna, leaving a battalion of Colonel Longa': in
garrison in Castro."

r.dRLIiIMENTARr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 27.

Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, that he felt it proper, In conse-
quence of some further legal proceedings, to withdraw his notice
of motion respecting a trial which had lately taken place, and in
which an Hon. Member of that House was implicated.
It was ordered, on the motion of Mr. Alderntin ATKINS,
that the Speaker do ant issue his writ for Weymouth and Mel-
Bombe Regis, until after this day se'snight.
The second reading of the kith School Bill was postponed to
this day se'nnight.
Sir HENRY MONTGOMERY postponed his notice of mo-
tioo which stood for Thursday, respecting the introduition of
Christianity into India, to the isth of May.
The Life Annuity Bill was ordered to be committed to-mor.
row se'nnight.
Sir J. HIPPISLEY COXE begged leave to call the attention of
the House to the notice of a motion he intended to bring torward,
and which he believed would appear of considerable importance.
As he was desirous of having his object clearly and precisely ore-
derstood, he should read the notice from the paper he then held
in his hand. 'I he Hun. Baronet proceeded to read the following
words as the motion he designed to submit to the Houst :
" 'that a Selcet Committee be appointed to examine and re.
port the state of the laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic
subjects within the Realm—the state and number of the Roman.
Catholic Clergy, their religious Constitutions, and their inter•
course with the See of Rome, or other foreign jurisdiction—the
state of the laws aad regulations of his Majesty's Roman Catho-
lic subjects in the several colonies of Great Britain—the regula-
tions of toreifin States, as far as they can be substantiated by evi-
dence, respecting the nomination, collation, or institution of the '
Episcopal Order of the Roman Catholic Clergy, and the regula.
tions of their intercourse with the See of Rome. That such
Committee do have power to call for persons, papers, and records,
but to be limited by the instrection of the House in their report,
merely to the statement of facts appearing in evidence."
He added; that he should men tat Fiera) rpm to be refaud

to tlltt laid Corea!nee, if stinted; end be concluded, by *ahig
the 11th of May for the discussion of his motion, after the can of
the House which was to take place on that day.
BREACH OF PRIVILFAE.
Mr. PROTHEROE felt it his duty to call the attention of the
House to what he conceived to he a breach of the privileges they
enjoyed. He held in his band an Abe•ract of the Minutes of
Evidence taken before the Select Committee appointed to exa-
mine on the Affairs of India. The Abstract professed itself to
be taken by the Editor of the East India Debates, published by
Black and Parry. It not only did not con•ain what had been
given in evidence, but it was in reality a garbled statement. It
was not only published and advertised, but it was sent to every
Member of the House. It had been remarked, and perhaps
justly, that very few would read the whole of the evidence as it
occurred, and if so, be had to observe, that Members might be
tempted to read it in an abridged form, and to come afterwards
to the discussion with their minds warped. He did not, however,
Intend to move any severe measure, but he certainly should,
were the publication continued, think it his duty to call the at.
tendon of the House to it in a marked manner.
'Mr. TIERNEY could not precisely comprehend the meaning
of the Hon. Gentleman, who complained merely of what appear-
ed to him a breach of privilege, without any specific mention of i
the breach. The Hon. Gentleman did not, in fact, complain of
any thing being superadded which had not been given in eel-
dence, but of the evidence being abridged. He could not, for
his own part, conceive in what the offence consisted; and be
knew no more of this publication, than that it stated itself to be
evidence given betore the Select Committee.
Mr. PROTHEROE said, that he complained of its being an
unfair abridgement, tending to give a different meaning and un-
derstanding from that which the evidence implied and inferred.
It was also accompanied by squibs and paragraphs, which evin-
ced the party spirit that had dictated the publication.
Mr. TIERNEY said, it was possible that there might be squibs
and party paragraphs; but it was rather hard that the abridge-
ment should be made repponsible for those matters by which It
was accompanied, and with which, neither in spirit nor in letter,
had the publication any connection.

Mr. IiOBINSON said, that whatever opinion might be enter-
tained of the publication, he could assure the" House, that It was
not sanctioned by the Court of Directors; and so very far were
they from wishing to have the evidence curtailed, that it was de-
cided at the last Court he had the honour of attending, that, in
order to avoid the danger of garbled statements, the whole of the
evidence should be correctly given.—(Hear, hear!)
The Irish Distillery, the Irish Butter Regulation, and the Cot-
ton Regulation Bills, were ordered to be read a second time to-
morrow.—Ad journed.

FRENCH PAPERS.

NAPLES, APRIL 5.

Great events silently have lately broken out in Pa-
lermo. King Ferdinand had been withdrawn from his
obscurity, and suddenly called to the bosom of his fa-
mily. He had already written to his son Francis, that
his health being re-established, he wasgoing to resume
the Government provisionally confided to that Prince,
in quality of Vicar General. Lord Bentinck, who
thought there was more to be feared in keeping the
King a prisoner and in a state of debasement, and in
employing a part of his forces as his guard, consi-
dered it the more necessary to shew him to the inha-
bitants of Palermo, as a fermentation threatened an
approaching revolt ; but the foresight of the English
Minister was too tardy. The people, wearied to the
last degree with their extreme misery, could no longer
support the still increasing price of objects of the first
necessity, and especially of corn, which they daily
saw exported from the island, to support their op-
pressors at Malta, in the Mediterranean, and on the
coast of Spain. 'The patience of the people had been
tried to the utmost, and in a few months the city of
Palermo presented the spectacle of a revolted city.
When Ferdinand re-appeared in the capital, the in-
habitants believed to find in him a support in throw-
ing off a foreign yoke. They spread themselves in
crowds throughout all the streets of the capital,
causing the cry of death against their oppressors to
be every where heard. The English insulted, pur-
sued, were obliged to seek an asylum in their bar-
racks. Lord Benticck put himself at the head of his
troops and artillery, and marched against the people.
A ship of the line and two frigates were stationed
before the city, and pointed their guns upon it. The
English marched against the Palace from whence
King Ferdinand escaped in order to retire to Mont-
real ; tot considering himself even in safety at this
place, he took refuge at Freuzza.
The revolt having for the moment been calmed
by force, many persons of distinction, suspected of
having excited the people against the English, were/
arrested. The Marquis of Artala, the Prince of
Trabbia, and the Fiscal Advocate, Firure, are parti-
cularly mentioned. It is said that Prince de Butira
saved himself in the mountains.

The English have made return, from the different
points of the island, all the forces which they thought
could be withdrawn from them without danger. The
English frigate Unity, twenty-four hours after her
arrival at Messina, where she was to return, had orders
to immediately sail.—This is the way in which the
English treat their Allies. The fate of Sicily is that
which awaits all nations who have the misfortune of
finding themselves under their iron yoke. We would
not be surprised at quickly receiving accounts of some
bloody catastrophe.
