Lord N UGF.NT moved for leave to bring Ina Bill for the re-
gistration of the qualification of voters in the different Boroughs and
tAcies lu F.togland and Wales.
Lord LOWTHER objected to the minion. He maintained
that it would destroy the present system, and took the earliest op-
portunity of protesting against it. He moved the previous question.
Sir C. WETHERELL objected to the proposed Bill.
Mr. WY NN thought that the measure had better be postponed.
Mr. W. S rra supported the motion.
Sir C. FORBES said, that he could not support the Bill. It
ought to have been introduced earlier in the Session.

Lord N UGUNT replied ..sad said, that considering the state of

In the House of Lords last night, the Customs Bill
was read a third time and passed, and the Unitarian Nlarriages Bill
is to be read a third time this day fortnight ; that is, it is lust for the
present Session.

In the House of Commons, the subject of th- charge
against Lord C. Sommer, was brought up by Lord E. Stammer,
who, in announcing the resignation of his Noble Relative, declared
that the Gallant General was most anxious to meet any inquiry that
could, by possibility, be instituted in regard cu his conduct. Mr.
Wm= HORTON, feeling himself called upon by an AMA= made
to him, did not hesitate unequivocally to say, indeed hr felt it his
duty to declare, that the Government held Lutd CHA It LIS Soaseassr
to be fully acquitted of all the charges alleged against him, at any
time, or from any quarter.

A Brazil Mail arr'ved taus ~,,,, ning with Rio de Ja-
neiro Paper! to the 20:h April. They present us at last
with the Imperial Official Report of the battle in Rio
Grande, in which it is di.tinctly admitted, that the Re-
publican arms were victorious ; and this admission will
probably account for its tardy publication. No notice
is taken of any further military mcurrences in that,
any other quarter; anJ the same silence is maintained
with respect to negociations for a peace between the
two Powers. The folloing is a copy of the Report :

UFVICIAL.
Riu Grande de S. Petro de Sul.

Stx—On the 20th of this month I met with the enemy near the
P.llllO de Rosario, about six in the morning, and the firing imme-
diately commenced. Major. General the Karoo de Serro Largo
led the van with a brigade of s6U men, chosen by himself; and,
according to his own ezpresdun, all were disposed to push forward.
But Instead of pushing forward, or making the smallest resistance
to the four squadrons of the enemy, they led without firing a shot
or dewing a sword, and in such confusion that they caused some
dhoirdet in the Sth Regiment, which was to support them, and
would have broksn the I,:th and IMb Battalions, had not.. there
latter fired upon thrnt.
Some of them shut and Jailed the Major-General. This disorder
exposing the division of Brigadier -G I Calado to be taken
' in lank obliged him to endeavour to repulse, as he did, the repeated
attacks of the enemy on that side; but this hindered him from co-
operating wish the first division, where victory twice declared hi
our favour, but where be bad the grief to see the 44th Regiment
give way ; while the enemy, by their superior numbers, were able
mot only to send reinforcements to all the points attacked, but able
to detach squadrons, which turned our right and left links. The
Lucre, of the Uruguay (Guarani.) also behaved ill, falling on our
baggage, which they plundered.—Under these circumstances,
with troops fatigued by six hours cognitiond firing, and the enemy
preparing to surround us, I was obliged to retreat, though we bid
till then been successful in all the attacks we made, and in repulsing
those of the moron!. The five battalions performed prodigies of
valour, and to them we were ind:hted for the respectable attitude
which the army was able to preserve in the retreat : I lost only one
cannon, and 242 men killed and woun•led. The number of the
dispersed is greater, but I left squadrons of cavalry to collect them,
and they were already beginning to join us. The cavalry being badly
mounted, and the infantry eteessively fatigued, I seek some leap ex-
posed point, where I may receive the indispensable supplies of shoes,
cloaks, ammunition, and horses. As fur myself I preferred the
Paseo de Lourens s on the .hicui ; most of the officers thought
St. Setae preferable fur the support of the men and the
horses, but all judged that we must occupy the Passo de St.
Loarenco as soon as the enemy. advanced. Now the enemy
being only four Segues distant, and u the passage of the Rio
Jaeui will take us one or two days, it would be manifestly
injudicious to remain at St. Srpti. If I receive In time the
supplies that I need, 1 hope for final success. I must not pass over
the brilliant conduct during the action of the regiments of Cavalry
or Lunareco, ann toe win, ae wen as us part of toe ortgaue or Cos
Bente GMIZAIYCS. In the melt account your Excellency will find
the number of the killed, wounded, and prisurers. In another dis-
patch I shall mention theOlkers who most distinguished themselves,
far though we were forced to abandon the field of battle, the heroes
who so much distinguished themselves during it hours asinine, 24
hours marching, and 48 without tasting food, are, in my opiniui!, as
worthy of the favours of his Majesty, as much as if their exertions
had gained the victory.

Vacacuhy, Feb. 25. 1827.

The Liu of the Killed, Wounded, and Prisoners, gives 19 Offi-
cers and 157 privates killed, including 1 Majnr•Generai, 2 Xlajnrs,
and 4 Captain:-21 Officers aud 71 privates wounded—and 5 Offi-
cers and 67 privates taken prisoners.

Since writing the above we have received another
file of Rio Papers to the 25th, being five days later than
the former. A Paper of the 21st contains the copy of
an oEcial dispatch, dated Cidade de Desterro, 31st
March, from tke Commander of the Province of St.
Cathetine, announcing that General ALVEAR with the
fluent), Ayrean Army, had evacuated the Province of
St. Pedro de Sul, and passed to the other side of the
Rio Fignarimho. As the latter had thus, without any

rapparent netess4y, eVittiated the nraelian tertitory
with the exception of the contested Cisplat:ne provi-ce.

patification war on the tapis.

asembly of the Chambers. There is no other news in
these Papers.

We also received this morning the Austria* Observe►
to the 19th, arid the Algen►eine &Mix: to the 2SJ inst.
The contents of the lam r do not possess the slightest
claim to interest ; and the Observer merely contains a
report from General CHURCH, extracted from the Greek
Universal Gaulle of the Ist May, relative to the taking
of the Mnna,tery of St. Spiridion, and the sub.equen•
massacre of the Turkish garrison. According to tkis
report a hundred and thirty acre killed, and abc ut
an equal ~umber saved by the exertions of Generals
Borzant and NIKITA, the former commanding the
&arts, the latter the Cretans, and both having
perished a fear days later bef Its. Gr. eral
CHURCH speaks with deep sorrow and indignation
of this affair, which he adds, excited corresponding
feelings throughout the army in general. The Editor of
the Greek Gazette also expresses himself strongly to the
same eff.ct, and says that ie is some consolation to
know, that it was the Crime of a few, ati,ing from a
momenta►y impulse. lie then adds that the perpetra-
tors will doubtless meet the punishment they deserve.
