position which had been shewn to revive duping
laws, the persons 'who were desirous of Petititining
imagined that this law might be put in force against
them. The Petitioners were not to be frightened out
of the course they had adopted to obtain their consti-
tutional rights ; but they also were desirous not to
alarm the timid and the weak, or to give any oppor-
tunitT for the employment of spies and informers, or
to bring together lidrgt timbers of people, among
whom these agents of the Ministers might find some
whom they might excite to riot, and thus throw dis-
credit on the cause. They had therefore determined,
in order to accomplish all these objects, to present
Petitions, each of which would be signed by 20 per-
soni. The question of a Reform in that House, was,
in his Opinion, the only great and important ques-,
tion which could come before them ; and he had
thereto* thought fit to lose no time in presenting the
first of a series of Petitions on this subject, to which
he should hereafter have to call their attention. He
concluded by presenting a Petition, signed by twenty
of the inhabitants of Bath, which was read, . They
',complained that the House, instead of .representing'
she people of the realm, represented the interests of
few Peers, rich trading Borough-holders, and persons
' who purchased seats for the purpose of selling their
votes to the Ministers ; and they prayed that it be re-
formed. It was ordered to be prmied...—Eight other
Petitions, each signed by 20 inhabitants of the same
city, to the same effect, were presented by Sir Francis
Burdett, read, and laid on the table.djournecl.

The Bill for the repeal of the Habeas Corpus Sus-
pension Act passed through the House of Lords last
night. Lord HOLLAND took this opportunity to cen-
sure in strong terms the conduct of Ministers in every
thing that respected the Suspension Act and the late
'Trials for Libel. Lord Stomourif defended Mini-
sters ; denied that any measures had been resorted
to, to surprise Parliament into the salutary measure
it had adopted last Session, Ministers having laid
before Parliament without reserve all the facts of
which they were possessed, and Parliament, after,
examining the facts, having decided on its propriety.
The good effects that had followed proved, his LOM
ship said, the wisdom of the measure. As to the
Parodies that had been prosecuted, it was admitted
on all hands that such publications were calculated
to sap the morals of the people—the first step and
aim of Revolutionists, and the very mean that had
been employed in another country to overturn the
Government.

.....
In the Commons, the Treaty with Spain was laid
before the House, of which we have given a copy in
another part of this Paper. On the motion of an Ad- ,
dress of Condolence to the Quirxx, on the lamented
death of the PRINCSSS CHARLOTTE, Mr. CALCRAPT-
expressed with pain his determination to dissent from
it, as did also Mr. M. A. TAYLOR. The question
having been put in the usual manner, the SPEAKER
said, " The ayes, I think, have it," and the Resolu-
tion was allowed to pass without a division.
Sir nutrias BURDETT brought forward a Petition
for Parliamentary Reform signed by twenty inha-
bitants of Bath : there being an old Statute in exist-
ence prohibiting Petitions on such a subject from
being signed b, a greater number. He afterwards
presented other Petitions signed by twenty ; and it is.
understood that in future many Petitioners will ad-
here to this plan. The Petitions of last Session were
said to have a million at least of signatures : should
all of these petition again this Session, in batches of
twenty, the number of Petitions will amount to 50,000.

The important question with respect to the right
of appointment to the Clerkship of the Pleas in, Ire-
land, has at length been solemnly determined by the
decision of a Court of Law, and the judgment, we
are happy, for the sake of public economy, to an-
nounce, is in favour of—run Cuomo. The Judges
of the Court of Error in Ireland, before whom the
question had come in'the shape of a guo trarratito,
and been discussed at great length, and with great
ability, proceeded on Tuesday, the Sikh instant, to
deliver their opinions upon it, which occupied the
whole of that and two succeeding days. The report,
of the final decision, as contained in the Dublin Jour-
nal received to-day, we subjoin :

Smith, and reviewed the case at considerable length ; his Lard-
