SlR—Since my dispatch of yesterday, nothing im.
portant has happened. I have not yet received an,
news from General de Mello, but l have learned from
two Officers, who escaped from Chaves on the 91sts
that in the evening there was a great tumult in that
place, arising from the misunderstanding between OK
Rebel Chiefs, and the complete insubordination of the
soldiers. On the 19th, the 11th Regiment, and abo-
lished Regiments 17 and 24, left Chaves, by Valle di
Ramene, this battalion of she 7th Cagadorer, remaining
us Chaves, because when the Rebel Marquis wanted•
to march out, this corps mutinied, and demanded the
heads of the rebels, Magessi and Tezeira, who were
obliged to fly, and the mutiny ended with the soldiers
of the 7th going into quarters, and those of the 11th,
17th, and '24th returning to Chaves in the morning of
the 21st; but learning on this day that our trcops were
advancing, general disorder ensued, and the Officers
taking advantage of the confusion, escaped, and went
iu the morning of the 22d to General Mello, who was
in the Botica., and was marching towards Chaves; it
is probable, that taking advantage of the moment, he
is gone in pursuit of the enemy, and that to this we
must attribute entire want of news.

Count de Villa Flor yesterday united all his forces
at Amarsnte, and to-day enters Villa Real. Masao Frio
was occupied yesterday by the lililitiayttilder she com-
mand of Colonel Serpa, charged with the defence of
the Tamega from Amarante to the Douro, and toyday
the communication with Lamego will be reopened. in
order speedily to reinforce General Azeredo, id case the
rebels should attempt to re-pass into Beira.

Lori KING had some Petitions to present, brining
a ay of diuress, nor from the corn eaters, as. their. Lor-
dships would be apt to imagine, but hematite disclosed-
Catholics. The. Petitions came from very remote dia.
trios of Ireland, but he wished he heard as much good
sense coming from other quarters as came from those
remote districts. The Petition he was going to present to
their Lordships came from the Catholics of Ireland, hav-
ing for its prayer a particular object. He did hot know.
but that it would be quite as useful for him-to get up
and throw the Petition into. their Lordships' fire as
to place it on their table, for there seemed to be a
determ;rostion foravd not to take into consideration'.
' the claims pf that aggrieved part. of.. his. Majesty!'

Toryism was now triumphant at Westminster.; but To-
. "sm . might lose part of the King's dominions. not '
vouch less in value than America. The, present reign.
might be signalized in a similar manner as the last.—
Toryism 'was all-very good for the home market,: but'
it would not bear to pass -the sea, like some of
,the.
French wines, whose flavour was very fine in France,-
amt. which would not carry sea-board. The object• of
the Petitioners was to- have • the Corporations thrown
.to them. There-wese 2,809 Officers to those Cor-
porations, and, adding the Corporation of Dublin, the
,016cers of which amounted to thenuosber.of 254, the
Whole number was about 2,550 ; and against the. Roman
Catholics becoming such Officers, there was a positive
proscription. He did not know whether such proscrip-
tion was an essential part of the essentially Protestant
Chtreb. • He could not tell whether. the _Petition would

akar with their Lordships: apieoheaiiies..as siva-
atentsi geed, bad, sr • inelskevent, were equally vad.
against the Roman Catholics; for, as he -said before,
there seemed a determination not to consider the claims
of the Catholics, and not to do justice.
The Marquis of SALISBURY• thought it a little
hard that the Noble Lord should impute to their Lord-
ships a determination not to consider the Catholic
Claims, since a Noble Lord, who had given a notice
upon the subject some time ago, had thought proper to
withdraw it.

The Earl of WINCHELSEA stated, that•he should
present a numberig.Petitions .against the Roman Ca-
tholic Claims on Friday next, when he would take the
liberty of making a few observations on the subject.
The Earl of RODEN presented a Petition from the
Corporation of Shoemakers of Dublin against the Ro•
man Catholic claims. The Noble Lord stated that he
had a great number more to present;. but he would
follow the example of his Noble Fdends land present
them on Friday next. • .:.) •

MUTINY BILL.
Lord PALMERSTON moved the third ,reacliiik of
the Muiinytilt. •
Mr. LEYCESTER said he he should have had much
pleasure in finding tbrii the Noble Lord had been in-
duced to dispense with the power of corporal punish-
ment rbut as that was not the case, he would rather
suffer anything than sanction such a law by his vole.—
Such a practice shewed how men's minds could be re-
conciled to the most loathsome obj• cis by the force of
habit. The institution was one which could-not be
proposed in the present day without the repiobiatLn
and indignation of that House; he therefore though it
equally monstrous to continue it. But it was said that
necessity required such an aid for the maintenance of
discipline. He denied this upon the ground that flag-
ging was dispensed Kith in the continental ainsie4;
neither did he admit it to be more justifiable as a mat-
ter of expediency. He, moved furleave to bring up
a clause rescinding the power to inflict corporal pu-
nishrnent,

Mr. J. SMITH said that his strong objection, to this
practice had b 'en recently much increased bj his acci-
dental residence in a gars-icon town in Fiance fbr three
weeks. While there he had an opportunity .of observ-
ing what was the state of the troops as to discipline,—
There were 500 men in the town, and in no respect were
they inferior,probably they were superior, in discipline to
the best soldiers in our army. Perhats there were ma: y
Gentlemen in that House who were not aware that to any
man in the French army a blow was never given. I, was
dishonour to give a blow or receive one. He happened to
have an intimate friend in the British army who held
the same sentiments with himself respecting the prac-
tice of corporal punishment. That Officer hod abstained
from exercising the power over the troop which he
commanded, and that, troop bad lately bean pronounced
the finest in the service. He had led the men to enter-
tain sentiments of honour, and toidread punishment as
a disgrace: The Hoo. Member expressed* his•'canvic-
tion that the same system alight be extended to the
whole army. without injury to the service, and gave his
hearty assent to the chase which had been proposed.
Mr, HUME begged to aik the Noble Lotti oppo ite
(Lord Palmerston) by what Article of War, or by what
section of the Mutiny Act, a Brevet Officer on half*-pay
could assume the authority which an Officer had done
in a well-known case at Honduras. He wished to know
whether a Staff Officer could, agreeably.to the, Articles
of War, take upon himself the authority which Colonel
Arthur did?
Lord PALMERSTON said that Colonel Arthur had
acted strictly in conformity with the Articles of War.
By the 20th section it was enacted that a superior
Officer should have the power of enforcing obedience
from his infei iors, and different methods f r so doing
were pointed out by that section. Now Colonel Arthur
was the Commandant of the station, and conseehently
superior to any other Officer who was thin; sand he
(Load P.) maintained that it was perfectly in accordance
with the rules of the army for an Officer on half-pay to
hold a peculiar local appointment. Colonel Arthur
bad been nominated to such an appointment :• it gave
him the military command of the station, and he had a
right to exercise such authority as the law invested a
C nismandant with.
