It will be seen by a reference to the important Debate
last night in the House of Lords, that the Repeal of the Test and
Corporation Acts is no longer to be reckoned a doubtful question ;
the Bill having been read a second time without a division, The
principal speakers for the IBM were-.. Lord HoLutre, who moved
the seceed reading. the Duke of Wawsorop. Lord Gossascn,
the Archbishop of YOKIK, who held the prosy of the Primate of all
England, and the Bishop of CIIISTaII. The chief, almost the only
Ppeaker against the Bill. was the Earl of &noir, who gave last night
a similar vote to what he gave in the year 1757 ; concluding, in the
present instance. with a fervent wish that those whn now advocate
the Repeal may find no rem's. at some future period. to regret
their success.

In the tiOnse of Commons, Mr. WlL►tor.HonroN
obtained leave to bring in a Bill for providing the means of Emigre.
don to the unemployed part of the population of this country, by
mottgaging the Poors' Rates for a limited time. /dr. SWlte7
inought forward bis motion for a Reform of the Abuses of the Poor
Laws respecting payments made from Parish Rates to and for abk.
bodied labouters. After some debate, leave was given to bring in
tie DIII.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de
France dated Wednesday. were received last night.—
The former give at some length the proceedings of the
Chamber of Deputies on Monday. in which the Keeper
of the Seals presented a new project of law, to regulate
the Periodical Press : the purport of the motion is to
abolish the discretionary censorship, and to restore to
all Frenchmen the permission to establish any new
Journal, literary or political, which they may choose,
on giving security as to his means before publication.
The security thus required, and which is tantamount
to that given in this country for the payment of stamps,
amounts to 10,000 francs (500) for a daily paper in
the metropolis, 5.000 francs for a weekly, and only
2,500 for a monthly one. Toe other regulations are
equally wise and liberal, and do much credit to the
authors of the measure. The censorship, therefore,
may now be consiJered as for ever abolished.
. The Gazette de France, oa the authority of a letter
from Vienna, announces that the Russian Army had
made a movement in advance, and that the first corps
was positively to pass the Pruth on the 14th instant.
Preparations were making in the Russian camp for the
reception of the EmperorNicootos, and a Proclamation
of his Imperial Majesty to his army bad already been
announced.

Accounts have been received horn Laguira, by the
Leeward Island Mail, to the end of February, which
state that the most severe Police regulations have been
encforced, as BOLIVAR is alarmed in regard to the in-
inauence of Saint ANDRE, and is intriguing with Pau
to prevent the assembly of the General Convention. All
the pipers have been suppressed which have written in
favour of the Convention; a new P 4 per has been esta-
blished for the esprebs pui pose of writing in favour of
BeLIVAR and Peet. LABoRDE, after leaving Porto
Cabello, sailed for Carracus, since which they have not
heard of him.

Letters from Odessa to the 25th March, which have
been melted, continue to represent the preparations
f.r war on the part of Russia as Leing of the most
formidable description. Advice: had been received at
Odessa from Constantinople to the 22d ult. at which time
the utmost tranquillity ',moaned at the Porte. The
SULTAN had given orders to the Greek Patriarch to ex-
communicate Count CAPO d'lorrath. and all the Chiefs of
the Greek Government, as the instigators of the people's
disobedience to his sovereign authority. The cere-
mony of excommunication was performed witb great
pomp, and the utmost publicity, in Constantinople.
