MR. BARON M'CLELLAND.

Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) rose to move for cer-
tain Papers relative to a prosecution for perjury in
Ireland. In 1815. a true Bill was found by the Grand
.Inry of Galway against Edward Burke, for perjury.
The trial was appointed to come on at the next As-
si7es, but was postponed on account of a representa-
tion by Burke that a person who was a material wit-
ness was absent. lie (Mr. Martin) was the prosecu-
tor, and at the next Assizes when the trial was called
on, he was under the- necessity of moving that it
should be postponed on account of the illness of Mr.
Conniss, a material witness. But Mr. Baron M'Clel-
land refused the .applicaton, because his (Mr. Martin's)
aflldivit did not state that he had seen Mr. Conniss,
and only alleged his belief that he was too ill to at-
tend. On this an affidavit was procured from the
Physician, which expressly stated that the witness
could not attend on account of illness. Notwith-
standing this, Mr. Baron M,Clelland determined
against his (Mr. Martin's) application to postpone
the trial. This ,he considered an outrageous deter-
mination—(/aughter). He concluded by moving
for a Copy of the Indictment against Burke, and the
proceedings had thereon.
On the suggestion of Lord CASTLFRFACH and
Mr. WyNxr, the motion was withdrawn, till the
Chief Secretary for Ireland could attend in his place.
Adjourned at a quarter past tix o'clock.

The unusual arrear in the French Papers has been
made up by the arrival to-day of those from Tuesday
to Saturday last inclusive.

The KING has got a slight attack of the gout,
which does not, however, prevent him from transact
ing business in his private apartments.

A Royal Ordinance has been issued, whereby his
Manumit, taking into consideration the low plice of
grain in many of the South-western Departments of
the Kingdom, and the great abundance at the same
time of maise and millet, gives authority to the Pre-
fects of those Departments to allow from week to
week, as long as the average price of corn may con-
tinue as low as at present, the exportation of maise
and millet to foreign parts. The Departments to
which this liberty has been conceded, are those of
the Gironde, Landes, Lower Pyrennees, Upper Py-
rennees, Upper Garonne, Ariege, Oriental Pyrennees,
Aude, and Herault.

The business in the Chamber of Deputies during
the last week has been of very little public interest.
The Reports of the Committees on the two Bills for
'altering the term of the financial year, and for regu-
lating the trade in saltpetre,' hive been presented ;
and on Friday a discussion on the former was com-
menced, but adjourned, on Ole arrival of the dinner-
hour, till the following day. Brain an observation
incidentally dropped by one of the Members, it ap-
pears that there is an expectation of the Chamber
being prorogued in May.
The Chamber of Piers do not appear to have had
any meeting daring the week. . The last Resolution
which they passed, for an Address to the Vito, re-
, Tustin him to bring in a MR for the abolition of

the Davit d'Ambains, hat been communicated,
Order of his Missarr; a) the Chamber of Dem,

'which may be regarded as a sort of assurance th
in so far as the will of the KING IS concerned, ti..
will be no opposition to this important mid smut
