sent an Mee on beard the Susannah with a letter. is which he
demanded from the Portuguese for what object they had come

duty as Commander it was to answer this letter, declared,
that be had orders from his legitimate Soverago the Queen Donal
hfuia 11. to conduct to the island of Terceira, governed in km
'wrist name, and occupied by bet stoops, a part of the Pumpers
who bad voluntarily gone to England—tellers with which be
would comply at all risks. To this declaration Captain W &VW
replied, that he had likewise posh ire orders from his Goverment
not to consent to their disembarking on any of the islands of the
Azores, aad that he would employ against us the forces under bin,
command, if we should endeavour to land on any of them, insist-
ing that we should depart. The Conde de Saldanba replica, that
notwithstanding these determinations he was, as be ought to be.
resolved to comply with the orders which be had waived, and that
he would only desist from landing at the port, into which he had
entered Without encountering any impediment on the high sea,
when Capt.. Walpole should declare him a prisonof of tear, or should
take possession of the neutral and unarmed transports of *whitish,
bad the charge; appealing us the right of nations, casting Tieuks,
and the relations of peace and amity subsisting between her Most
Faithful Majesty and his ihitannic Majesty. The English Meer,
who was the boated semod intimatioa from the Commodore,
thought,proper not to wait for a reply in writing, but communicating
told. Coinmender some reflections on the condiait of the Cootie ele
Sadanka, be (the Commodore) ordered Captain Bradford on hoard
the !foamiest, with e third intimation, which was in substance that
if the Susanoalt, and the other vessels accompanying her, did mat
leave the pert of Praia before three o'clock in the afternoon, he
would employ force in securing obedience to his orders. The Conde
de Saldanha maintained in another note his first declaration, and
added, that heathy; the verbal indention! of Captain Bradford.
and the hostile expression of the dhpattbes sent by the Console-
dote, he could only consider the Portuguese in the transports
as prisoners of war, and that he would folow the BMWs force
wherever it might conduct him—declaring at the same time that
,the provisions and water of the transports did not permit a long
voyage. In the mean time the Conde de Saidahha wrote to Com-
' maws Walpole, defending the rights of his Sovereign, whine
Iu enters he was executing, and expressed his regret that the
monde had noc thought proper to reply to him in writing,
'am* circumstances so arduous, so new, so extraordinary. and so
Illigreeedented in the history of civilised nations. hleanwhile the
Ranger approached the Susannah, and the Commodore intimated
iset only to the Conde do Saldanha but to the Captain of the Su-
sannah. that they must immediately comply. Notwithstanding
.this, and the lamentable and sanguinary aggression which the
dlitemsah had 'offered a few hours before while about to clot
onelmor, the Conde de Saldanba ordered Captain Praia to go
on Word the Ranger with another dispatch, stating various reasons'
for his conduct, and adding, that the precipitancy of the threate-
ins intimations deprived him of the passibility of personally to the
Commodore the protest which he was drawing up against the um-
heard of aggression which the Portuguese had suffered in their
own ports and waters. To this message Commodore Walpole
replied in writing that it was may to save tine that he bad re.
trained from writing before ; that to the intimations which be bad
given, spathe reflection on the Conde de Saldanha, he had only
to add, that es Conde de Saldanba might sail to France or to
Ragland, or to any other place be chew, provided be know.
diately left the Ideas of the. Azores. In this, as well as in
his other messages, the COnstitodore omitted to state whether
or not be considered the Conde de Saldanba a prisoner of war.—

This minion obliged the Conde de Saldanha to ask for rust*,
esplanatiees ; but at the moment in which be was writing, the shot
of the Ranger, a frigate of his Britannic Majesty, passed again
between the mastsof•the Swamis, in the waters of a port of which
bet Most•Peithful Ilajesty Donna Marla 11—perbaps the oldest
ally of the King of Great Ihitiln—is Queen. The Conde do
&Woke then ordered the boat to be lowered down, descended
into it, and put al for the Ranger, which lay.to to receive Isins.
He deliFered the dlspatch which be bad just written. but only
elhedord (beside-the-civil attentions or Commodore Walpole, who
^aglaberad- to regret the WOO service be was obliged to execute,
and the blood width hit bad shed on board the Susannah) a

not with the intention of in any way opposiog the fut-
thee progress of the Address which was to be an assert
to his Majesty's Speech ; but as he had yesterday f end
no opportunity, or perhaps had no disposition, to put

id so doing. That Speech contained a recommendanoe,
to Parliament to ti take into consideration the whole
condition of Ireland, and to reifies', the laws which it!

now no expectation that *Stature to be proposed
by his Majesties Mirtiaters enold produce any satitfac-
tory result. He hoped, he most 'sincerely hoped. that
their measure might be attended with happy and for;
tunate results; but he had no expectation that such
would be the case. He was folly aware of the vital
importance connected with this interesting question
. throughout the empire, and of the great degree of eso
citation to which it had led, not only in Ireland, but ht
England; and-he felt that any settlement of that clues.
Lion, even though it were settled in a manner totally
opposite to his views, would leave a better state of
things than now exisied. Without, therefore, intending
to oppose the prestress of the Address, he was anxious
to declare decidedly and firmly to the House of Com-
mons his intention to watch most narrowly any measure
'that wilt be proposed by his Majesty's Minister.—
.4th the titttiost attkiety of mind he would scrutinize it
step by step—with the utmost anxiety of mind would
fie endeavour to procure for the Protestant subjects of
Majesty the best terms he could, in order to ensure
in safety and in inviolability those interests which had
fur so many years been the exclusive right of the Pro-
testants of this country.
Mr. LESLIE FOSTER was desirous briefly .bet
firely to discuss one or two of the main points ititro-
cluced into his Majettri Speech. In so doing, he Was
perfectly 'flee to, act in wfieteier way he thought best
for the interest of his country; for he was neither
Orangeman now Brunswicker, and to no patty had he
given any pledge. He did not, hoe ever, mean to re
sect upon individuilt who peofestied to belong to either
class of those he had described; he meant simply to
state that he was not one among theM, althoUgh in re-
fusing to become a member of their party he had, to
his certain knowledfe, given offence to some of his
friends for vehont he entertained i mot sincere respect.
• To Mit it appeared that the Government of Ireland
had always been placed in a most embarrassing situa-
tion ; and that the last Government bad laid ,* the
flattering unction' to its imagination, and had per-'
waded itself that it was giving a triumph to no partyil
when he *cold rather say that it was giving a triumph
to all, and, at the Same time, a triumph over its own
starless. But, amid this confusion, a real Govern-
ment did arise, which formed a concurrent Govern-
ment in that country—the Catholic Association—a
Government which took the form of the present demo-
creel, administered to by a directory, with a powerful
Church annexed to it, and supporting it in a manner
in which no Government was ever yet supported. with

would not say that it was the only Government in Ire-
land, but he would say that, as in England during the
reign of Charles the First, there were two concurrent
Govetnmeats, so in Ireland was it in the present day.
This being his opinion, what course then was to he
pursued? While the question was pendiug, while it'
was under consideration, the two parties were resting
on their arms, and waiting the decision to which Par-
liiment was come. They were with their well disci-
Oilseed militia gazing at each other, and waiting for
the determination of the House. There were, in his
view of the caie, three plans, one of which his Ma-
jesty% Ministers would be compelled to adopt in
their settlement of this' most important question.—
The first was to leave the rtsolt to the issue of a civil
wit, for such mast be the inevitable consequence r f in-
terfering in no way ; the second was a settkai-nt of the
Citholic (Nairn,: upon Catholic principles; and tl:e
third was a settlement of those claims upon Protestant
principles and upon Protestant policy. With respect
En to the fir •t., he !night safely asset t that no Mem-
ber of his Majesty's Government could say that he
wr u'd not deser re im, eachme:it if he suffered matters
to ploteed to such an issue; and for himself he sa:uld

aleals resist it ; and if any pottiOn of the intended
measure we e truhded upon such a principle, it cculd
never have his support. He was, however, happy to
have an opportunity of stating his conviction that, as
the measure was placed in the hands of those with
'whom it now remained, the course that would be pir-
ated would be istrentially the teeerse of this second
and he could fin( but :egad the Noble Duke at
the head of his Majesty's Government, the Right Hum
S:cretary who represented the Government in_ that
House, and the oil er Members of tl:e Cabinet, as suffi-
cient guarantees of a resole e determination to uphold
the interests of the Peovestant Chnecii. There was not

House bristly to the difference between concessions
upon Catholic and concessions upon Prote•tent princi-
ples. ile w: illd readily adm t the Catholic to power,
provided he did not bring his. religion with him; but. he

indeed been taught from infancy that the Roman Ca-

opinion's, even theft prejudice', ought to be cousidered.
Mr. G. It. DM:kr:SON, of Derry, congratulated the
Huse on the prospect of its at length doing an act of
justice to a laro portion of, his Majesty's subjects. He,
looked upern his Majesty's Speech as giving a certain
hope of the arrival or the happiest event within the
range of the history of oar• country-T.-as the dawn of
that prosperity to Ireland which should succeed the tat-
ter misery in which she bad for ages passed- her exist-
mice. It was' with the most unfeigned pleasure he role
to express-his conviction of the prosperity and. hapoli-
ness which would follow• the declaration contained in
the Speech which they•had last night heard addressed
to then, irons the Throne. The conviction of the et-
cessity• for such a' coerce as that which. his Majesty
pointed out swat not new in bins. He had• been lodg

And during his visit to Ireland what did he there wit-
ness ? What I every institution perverted ; families of
all classes bitterly opposed to each other; a system of
persecution carried on by every Irish Gentle Man of
whatever creed he might be a member; the people suf-
feting under eteri :form of misery : common juries,
and even grand juries, inevitably biassed and in the
course of justice it was imposiible to proceed. It was
under these circumstances that there happened to be
the celebration or a Protestant anniversary in the
City of the county Which he had the honour to re•
present in PartiaMelt; and under such circumstances
he was called upcirit6 attend it ; and when he heard
the Gentlettien there, iniinated only by a spirit which
'tithed at nothing lesi thin the total destruction of the
Roman Catholics of that country. it Was a course to
Which he could not give hii concurrence, althriugh he
✓egretted hitt having been persuaded to attend the nieet•
ing. He saW these only the elements of a civil war—ele-
ments which only wanted sortie hand to call theM into
action; a brand kris ready, which the first incendiary
might light into a flamb: It had been insinuated that
he had be. n intimidated by the Cathdlic Association.
Such was far, very fat, from ever having been the case.
He well knew that the Catholic Association liad not,
and never could have, the slightest power in the Pro-
testant county of Deny., which hi represented; but he
had a fear, a fear of which he was not ashamed— a fear
which every honest and honourable ma* aught to en.
tertain—a fear of seeing the flame nf civil war spread-
ing over his con try and her streets, and her highways
deluged with blood. But little, very little, was wanting
Ito render that country from one end to the other, a scene
such as that which he had described. Under theseciraa
cumstances he had delivered the speech which had been
subject to so much animadversion. He had considered.
that the time had arrived when, upon every principleol
common sense, he ought to have made a declaration
of the change that had taken place in his sentiments.
He did make the declaration—he did state his entitle-
tion—and he did then resolve to follow it up by the vote
which he should be called upon to give in the House of
Commons whenever the question of Catholic Emanci-
pation should be again dicussed. He had delivered
his sentiments then. and he now rejoiced to find they
proved to be those by which his Majesty's Government
meant to be guided.
~The plan of his Majesty's Go.
vernment was, doubtless, one of conciliating the Roman
Catholics, but with a proper regard to the interests of
the Protestants of Ireland and et England. The result,
he felt assured, would be, that Ireland would 'be tran-
quillized and England contented ; and that to the
former country would be opened many channels by
which prosperity and happiness would be conveyed to
her. He would repeat how sincerely he rejoiced that
such were the.sentiments of his Majesty's Goi:ernment,
and whether connected with them or nut, in such a
course they should have bad kis warmest support. He
had considered it due to himself and to the Government
of which he was a member to say so much with refo
rence to his own conduct, now that the proper time had
come, when so much might be expected from him.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, that having had nu • ppor-
tuni, y la.t night of expressing his sentiments, re ou•ted
the House, upon the present occa'i n, would indulge
him with a few words. He lose with some reluctance
to address the House after the very f 'cling, the just, and
clear statement which they had heard foal the Hon.
Gentleman who last addressed therm When, however,
coninluaication of such great and vital ina.osr.alice
was made to the Base from the Throne on which the
family of Brunswick was seated, he was anxious to take
that opportunity of expressing his gratitude to. his Ma
jesty for his fraternal solicitude' in recommending that
this most important sultjecr should be brought forward
as a Cabinet nseastik. He could not forget. that among
those who so advised his Majt.sty, there were some who
upon all previous occasions gave to any such proposi-
tion their uncompromising and decided opposition. It
apreated• to him that his Right Hon. Friend, Mr. Se-
cietsty Peel, had acted most properly last night in ab-
staining from any attempt to go into the details of the
intended measure. For himself he felt satisfied that it
would be a measure, of grace—(Hear)—liberal, and
adequate to the purpose—such a measu e as would
lead to final and conciliatory adjuo • ant, and lead
eventually to the happiness, tiaoqiiillity. and the sta.
batty of the empire at large. By. such a meatureas
this, a transceudant triumph would be achieved—a
ttiumph equally conducive to tte_ external and to the
internal strength of the emehe. This recommendation
tistw proceeding fioni the Throne, was a complete and
coovis Bing pouf that in the lair field of discussion the
all-conquering power of truth and -of justice must
ever even u .lly prevail rivet error and prejudice—

(louse. It was true the contest had been long and ar-
duous, but the cause was eve, y day growing in so pig*
until at last it was acknowledged that it could not be
mod; longer put off without the utmost danger. The
,pri.icipleot religious toleration had made great and
rapid progress. Two sears had not elapsed—and he
did not say it invidiously—since his Right Honour Ale.
Friend (Mr. Secretary Peel). had declared in his place;
that, whether iii of out of Parliament, hp syould. op-
pose the repeal of the laws affecting. protestant ,D
seaters;- and yet in the very last Session of Parliament-
he undertook, much no doubt to his honour, the-part
of a conciliatory moderator upon that important
question. He trusted his Right Honourable Fs lend
would. now apply himself with equal effect and'
success to a satisfactory, a final, and safe adjustment
of that other great question affecting his Majetty!
stomata Catholic subjects. The Member for Ninth
(Mr. Foster) presented nothing new in his speech upori
the subject—nothing which had not before been broughl
with equal force and clearness under the consideratian,
of the House by the Member for Kerry (M. Fitzgerald)'
and others, who dtiring the last Session strongly urged
the danger of allowing things to remain any longer as-
they Were in Ireland. He regretted that these topics-
had not at an earlier period made the sameimpression

and for the purpose of proctii ink the pacification of

been mentioned in the Speech which had been delivered
at the opening of the laic Session. In the Speech then
oddrisied to ParliaMtnt it was stated that the Emperor
of Russia had consented to waive hii belligerent tights
in the Meditettaneals. Now, the. obvious meaning of
the word convert! waa, that a demand had bi en Pcl*-*

that softie stipulation had been entered into, whereby
a recompehse was provided for the Emperor of Russia
as a compensation for. the waiver of his rights. la the
'Speech which had last night been. read to the House it
was stated that the Emperor of Russia• had again re-
sumed those righti ; but he (Mr. Huskisson) did not see
how they could have been resumed without the consent
of the pasty who had grant..d the compensation for tie
waiver. Tiiis matter lie did not consider to be very
material in itself; but, whatever concerned the honour

Sir JOHN NEWPORT congratulated the House
up rn the tei ruination of that «oitest, in hholf of a
cause In which he had always adhered through his po.
-Nicol life,. And which lie had for half a century advo-
cated in that notasf. He rose, however, for the purpose
ref iecomrnending, as far as his feeble voice might be
supposed to have weight to•that body, with many of
the Members of which he. was connected, that they
%%mild at Oiler, and without wailing for any legislative
enactment, have the good sense and the policy to imme-
diately dissolve themselves. By that act they would at
once put an end to much of the je .lousy and ill wi I
which was at present lelt by their Pii tertant fellow-
subjects, and relieve the Legislature from the disagree.
'able.neeessity of considering the means of coescion.--
;The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by expressing a
hope, that in the measure about to be brought forward
the Government would give neither grudgingly nor
sparingly, so as to'save the necessity of all further ap-
plicitions, and set the question fully at rest.
Mr. R. SMITH was satisfied that the opposition
supposed to be felt by the people of this country to the
claims of their Catholic fellow subjects vr.s vet y much
exaggerated. .He had the honour to be connected with
a very large county, in which there were many Church
.d I(ing men, and he could assure the House " that
beY almost .411 looked forward with anxiety to the time
, when, 'by a politic concession, these claims might be,
;satisfied, and the question_ put at rest." - He was happy
that the subject, which had ever created disunion in fa-1
milies, and which.had long been, as it were, a sort of
political blister'upon England, and which had impaired
its prosperity and resources, that this sore was now at
least about to be healed by the balsam of politic con-
cession. He thought that a great day had dawned

that the passing of a Bill, such as that tec-nimended in

lie had always, since he had the honour • f.a seat in
that House, supported the cause of Catholic Emanci-
pation; and he, therefore, had the more confidence in
saying that the Protastant euple of Ireland Were en-
titled at the hands of Government to protectmn against
thoseoperations which had been effected I y the Catholic
Association, but which were attributable to the state of
the law as affecting the Roman Catholic pr.polation.
He thought that, in.the event of passing the *maw, e
of Catholic Emancipation, the Protestants i f Ireland
bad a right to expect a distinct pledge from the Govern.
mart that the Association, however it may expire of
itself, or be dissolved by its members, shbuld be deprived •
of the power. of coming again into existeace..
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that tbe view lie ook
of the question was similar to that talseatrisii Noble
Friend below him (Lord Althorp). He,sisturOt it ssou'd
have been better if the Government had s..d to the
Association, " If we remove those disabilities under

t

which *you labour, you have no tight to continue
as an a►sociated body." For his own part he had no
doubt but that on the first announcement of the tenor
of the King's Speech, and without waiting to receive
the advice which had been given by those Members of
that House who were friendly to their claims, they
would at once dissolve their body, without waiting
for any enactment to put it down—(Hear, hear)
The A iodation could not be suffered to exist after
the removal of the grievances which called it into
being.. It not put down itself, it would put down all
authority in Ireland; and therefore if they did not
clifsnlve of their own accord after Emancipation should
have been granted, he would himself assist in any mea-
sure which might be necessary to put it down. The
contemplated measure would be pregnant with incal-
culable benefit to Ireland; and though he disapproved
'of the 1311 for putting down the Association, yet the
magnitude of the boon conceded was so great, that he
wbuld not risk a disagreement upon that point, and
-unless something very objectionable was proposed,
be would not interpose a single time with his vote
against the measure. The Member for Liverpool
"regretted that the circumstances which led to these
re.ults had not occurred in the lifetime of Mr. Canning,
and it was natural that he should do so, but he (Lord
J. Russell) was unwilling to enter into such circum-
stances. It was enough for him that Ministers bad pre-
ferred the tisk of exposing their own characters to ur-
merited obloquy, :Aber than that the safety of the
cost try should be placed in peril. He was repiced that
the Government had taken' the measure in their hands,
because he was convinced that the Government alone
could ever succeed in carrying it to a successful ter-
mination. He hailed the accomplishment of this mea-
sure. and wX4 satisfied 'that the brightest leaf in the
wreath of the Duke of Wellington's glary would be that
which indicated that he had given liberty to his native
land, and prosperity to the Empire at large.
On the question being put from the Chair,
Mr. PhEL rose aid said, that he did not at all feel

surprised that the interest of the concluding pelt of the '
S,seech had absorbed all the attention of the House, and
. induced them to postpone the consideration of other
m,, tets. He should not address the House upon the
present occasion if an allusion had not been made
• by his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Huskisson) to
that part of the Speech which related to the waiver
by theEmpertir of Russia i f his billigerent rights in the
blediterranean. , His Right Honourable Friend had
contended tha' there was an inconsistency in saying
last year that the Emperor of Russia had consented to
waive his belligeient.tights in theMeditersanean, and in
alleging this year that thoserights had been real med. But,
if his Hon. Friend had taken the whole of the
• fit nier speech together, he• would have seen that the
waiv-r of the rights by the Emperor was in recompense
of an egg •gennent on the part of this country to act in
conceit with him, and that, when an end had been pot
• to these c,tics.rred operations, the Emperor of Russia
as as at Ithei ty to resume the rig his, which he had waived.
The term conse.it did not in these circumstances imply
any itipolation, but only that in consideration of the co-
operation 1101 s-is ha.l agteed to waive her belligerent
rights during the time in which the co-operation
should he coritir.nri. With .regard to Portugal—if it
is to he a‘lmitre 1, as it must be. that in the lamentable
state f that c•ntittry, and in the most unjustifiable
°stir. atom the govcinment f that State, it was im-
pos•ibie Ito us to take a part in the internal affairs of
. that •min!r) —lt thi, aas a twitted, he (Mr. Peel) was
confi of bring able to show to the House, when
the piper opportu City should arrive, that the- coutse
which the Government had followed was the only one
which it was possible for them in the circumstances
to pursue. WI It regard to the subject which had
engross-d the greatest shale of the punk attention, he
• should Itarkly tecommend a total -.l:istinence fr,rn all
Aviv y feelings and from all recriminations; and fi r
forn.si4 he sh uld decl we that he should not be pro-
voked into he smallest expression of intemperate lan-
guage by any taunts which should be thrown out
against Hilo on•the sutoject, and that, having under-
taken to conduct the proposed measures of comet-
Sion • tp a successful issue, he should leave no fair
means unatsempted for Nee purpose of ensuring their
success. An impression had gone abroad, resulting from
a misconception of what had fallen from him on last
. night, that, in the month of August, he had been a
party to the settlement of the measure regarding the re-
moval of the Roman Catholic disabilities. This impie,
sion was alt Tether erroneous. .He had communicated
with his Noble Friend at the head of the Government, in
reference to the opinion he had at that pet rod expressed
upon the question, but the communication concerned
his own position solely, and not the arrangement of the
measure.l le had said to his Noble F: iend that he was right
iu the views he had adopted, but that his (Mr. Peel's)
l'ilittiou was different, and did n• t leave him the same
freedom t f action, fur reasons personally affecting him ;
and that 'was Islsstantially the whole of what he had then
stated on the mater, and that had been communicated
to his NAle Friend. and to him alone. Resolving to
attempt the settiement of the question upon a satisfac-
t, Y.? ba -is. and %siding, at the same time,• to 'chore
hoe (Mi.l3,:e!) run a tithe ion delicate and embarrassing,
his Noble Ft lend, aft, r due deliberation, judging that
his retirement would add to the difficulties that already
went to .mpede the pccomplishment of his obj ct,
pressed a desire that he would aid his endeavours ; and,
having previously tendered his advice, he felt it his
duty to act on that Advice. Genii-men with whom he
had f rinerly acted, and for whom he entertained the
highest feelings of respect, had conveyed something
like reoioach, as it he It id betrayed inconsistency in re-
spect to this question; but he felt himself justified in
expressing his convicti n that, if these Gentlemen a ere
in possessioti of the itAorma:ion that had been laid
betote him on the state of society in Itelan , they would
have come to the very same coheosions that lie had.
It was impossible for the Government to have remained
always disunited as it had been. It was inoperative upon
it to take some reps for the safety of the Irish Pi otss•
Cant establishmt-nt itself; and it would have breto a
melancholy example of weakness, and disregard' to the
_ _

_ -
public weal. to have 1.11 the conaicting pattiea to figl

the ba•.'r for themselves.

He would ,epeat, that,

his Houourdble friends had access to theit.formarsion

be possessed, they would perceive the necessity f de•
vising a measure to bring these evils to a termination.
Torre was no middle course for Government to pursue;
one of t% o was inevitable—either to wage eternal war
against the claims of the Catholics, or to agree to con-
sider them, and to decide upon the best and safest re-
medy, without entering into a riegociatke with any
peer ty ; subm.tring the result r f their deliberations to
Parliament, and awaiting the issue on their own respell-

Tire proceedings in the House of C•.mmons last
night, on bringing up the Report of the Address to his
Prisaturrv, will be read with painful interest by all those
who deplore the change of sentiments which the ablest
and best Statesmen of the day have avowed on the sub-
ject of Catholic Emancipatioif—a change of opinion
which we apprehend will be productive cl the most
alarming consequences to the peace of this part of the
Empire, whatever wonders it may wesk in Ireland.
If we may form alt opinion, in This early stage of
the Parliamentary proceedings on this question, we
should say, -that the infection of the sudden conversion
which has seized some c f the firmest supporters of Pro.
tenant Ascendancy has already spread so widely
through the House r.f Commons, that no hope remains
that the contemplated measure will not be carried in
that House. But although we are fully ready to ad-
mit the evil of the two branches of the Legislature being
again in opposition upon a question of such vital
importance, we confidently rely that the House of
Peers, that bulwark of the rights both of the Crown
and the People, will yet be able to stem the torrent, end
arrest the progress of the di-ets-, which will canker and
destroy tie fairest fruits of the wisdom of .•ur ancestors
The voice of t 1 e people, we p•edtct, will be. nay, it is
declared to be fraught with the greatest danger to tl e
State, and only to Fe defended on the ground of tem-
porary expediency. It is contrary to the oisest maxims
to do evil that good may prevail, and the intended
measure will ultimately fail to satisfy the cry already
raised against admitting Catholics to political power,
and it must be heard. Our Constitution -- KING,
Lords, and Commorfs—is inherently Protestant, and
it must t e ,-reserved as such inviolate.

The German Papers received this morning describe
the Russians as making the most active naval prepare-
ti,nts in the ports on the 13:ack Sea, for the purpse of
making a descent, in Vie ensuing campaign, on the
Tut kid) Asiatic coat, as well as for creating diversions
in favo.ir of the army near the Balkan.
These preparations are not confined to the naval de-
partment of Russia, as a cot responding activity appear•
to prevail in increasing and organising that of the
army, the amount of which is stated already to consist
of 200,000 men. The severity of the winter has put
an end to any operations on the part of the opposing
armies. The following are extracts:
JASSY, JAL Is.

If we may credit private letters from Odessa, preparations are
making there and at Sebastopol for the next campaign, in order to
attack the Porte, not only in Eur..pe hut In Asia, with the greatest
energy. A considerable number of transports are to be collected
in the port of Sebastopol, to ret•eive troops and artillery, and it is
supposed that ibis corps is intended to land on the Turkish Asiatic
coast on the Black Sea, putty to support the operations of General
Psakewitscb, partly to make diversions in favour of the army near
the Balkan. It is said that General PaskeNvitsch, who has with
him the Baron Von gusto, one of the most distinguished Officers
of the General Staff, has received the Emperor's orders to draw up
a new plan of operations for the army in Armenia, which General
Diebitseh is to endeavour to connect with that of the main army,
which was net the case io the prtceding campaign. Rosdan
moveable columns, which may alternately support the army in
Balsa:is, and that of 'General Paskewitsch, will be landed fur

the pupae on the Asiatic coast, supported Igy the Amta and
employed in Interrupting the communications with Constantinople,
and with breaking up the Turkish depot%. It Cannot be denied
that ifthe plan is well executed, with the facilitity of supplying the
troops by sea, the advantage to the Russian army meat be great,
and the post be attacked in the most sensible part; for if the Rus-
sian columns could succeed in approaching the Bosphorus by land
on the Asiatic side, the impression that such a circumstance would
make on the inhabitants of the capital would be incalculable, and
the Sultan would And it difficult to keep the disturbers of the pub.
tic tranournity in check.
A new kind of Congreve rocket has been made at Moscow, and
the army is to be considerably etrengtened by this arm.
1 The late changes in the positions of the troops in the interior of
Russia have put almost the whole army in motion, and it Is difficult
to say what corps are and what are not destined to act in the field,
as they are all on the war establishment. Tee statements in car.

culatiun do nut agree with each other, and do not enable tt4 to form
a correct idea of the strength of the army which is to open the
campaign, but it will be at least 200,000 men. The Russian na-
tion is in general in favour of the war, and its enthusiasm is in-
creased by the Clergy, who represent it as a religious war under.
taken to relieve their fellow Christians. It is Mined also. that
the Clergy have contributed large aunts to defray the expenses of
the war. Great exertions are making here fur the organisation of
the hospitals. Several French Surgeons have be.a induced to leave
the at my, because their ignorance of the Russian language hindered
them from communicating with their patients, and they were,
therefore, unable to be so serviceable as they might have been.—
The continued frost has proved very salutary, and there us now
hardly any sick 111 the hospitals.

prepared, neatly the whose of which were admitted with-
out remark. One of the largest debts proved was 1,2001.
A great number of debts were proved against the priTate
estate cf Rowland Stephenson. consisting chiefly a
tradesmen's bills for small athounts. Towards the close
of the proceedings Henry Stephenson appeared in Court,
and surrendered himself in the usual form.

Yesterday afternoon, whilst the tide was running up
strongly, a deeply laden brig brokr from her moorings,
and was driven with such violence against the east side
of the centre arch of London Bridge, that she knocked
off eight of the stone pillars of the balustrades, which
fell down into the river ; whilst the vessel herself re•
ceived still greater damage—she having carried away
both her masts by the board, close to the deck—the
wreck of her lower mast lying upon the deck, and the
top-gallant mast and topgallant sail remaining on the
bridge. Fortunately no lives were lost, nor any mutila-
tions caused, though all hands belonging to the crew
were on board the vessel, whose heavy cargo, of course,
increased the force of the shock.
