An official report from Trapani, of the 16th August,
stater. that the country in that part of the island was
infested with robbers ; bat that they had lately expe-
rienced a considetable check, haring been pursued by
some soldiers and armed citizens.

The following anecdote is related of the Duke
de C•Lsnats. Some infuriate persons proposed to
avenge the massacre of the Neapolitans in Sicily, by
murdering all the Sicilians who remitted at Naples.
After ineffectually endeavouring to pr vent their fe-
rocious deign!, the Duke said, " Very well, since
you are resolved on vengeance, begin with my three
suns, who were born in Sicily." At the same time,
he shewed them the room where his family was. His
generous conduct had the desired effect, and restrained
their fury.

The Commois met yesterday pursuant to adjourn-
tient, and adjourned again to the 17th of October.
.t sitJtion, in the first instance, was made by the
('Slant risme of the EXCIILQI'ICK, that a Committee
should be appointed to search the Lords' Journals,
with reference to their Lordships' proceedings on the
Bill of Pains and Penalties. This was a motion of
mere form, to put the Noose in legal possession of the
proceedings ; butt it was nevertheless resisted in the
outset, and a motion Was substituted by 31r. Hon-
Horst:, that an Address should be presented to his
31.v.tcs rv, praying hint forthwith to prorogue the
Parliament. Our readers are aware, that the effect of
a prorogation would be, sirtnally, to destroy the Bill
of Pains and Penalties. This motion was successfully
resisted by the Ministry, anti they had the weight of
of nuniltrrs: but the weight of talent and of argu-
ment was decidedly with the Minority. A stronger
proof of this assertion cannot be given than the cit.-
(antistatic,. that Lo-t 1 CASTLaGEAGII, the Minister of
Verb, the wall who has increased rather than im-
proved our language by words which never came from
English lips before ; that this Nobleman, on getting
en his legs, knew not what to say. " Ile declared,
that the arguments were so extraordinary, that one
could not well know how to meet them." This was
notindrrd his Lordship's political dying speech ; but
it was a confession is hich never cattle front hint before,
upon any our of the nutuerous debates in which he has
been engaged. !mired, if the proceedings of last
night arr to he considered as a specimen of the recep-
tion which the Ministry will receive in the L'ommons, .
they are in so pitiable a condition that they may as
well put themselves in the Liturgy, and whether they
do so or nut, they will hare an undoubted right to our
pity, though nut to our prayers. Nut fur their wealth,

he knew not how to meet the arguments of his
adversaries. The !louse of Commons evidently
will he perfectly unmanageable, al Id the Bill
he brought before them. '1 he language used tut-
wards the liar; nt last night, was the strongest
we ever hearth. The proceedings of the Upper
House were examined nits great freedom ; and
even the individual c tact of its members was cant
mented upon with extreme severity. Several weathers
of the Commons told the Minister., to their Lees,
that the whole proceeding was a conspiracy. They
bore this with exemplary Christian patience. One
member said that the .thortiey-lleneral had disgraced
hint%rlf; the member added be would repeat defiles-
" had disgraced himself. by his conduct in
ascii. proceedings." The Attorney-General rose to
resent this language, when (lo: and behold!) another
*ember repeated it ; awl we tunst bear in mind that
this language can only be applicable to the Perlis-
*eatery proreedings ; fur the Attorney-Beneral is, in
private life, a gentleman t deservedly respected ;
owl that eiremnstance cannot but give additional
weight to the reflection upon hint as a public officer.
la short, a third Member spoke out, at once, about
Ilerrimination ;" and, it is therefore not impossible,
that Mr. Wtanneroacs: may have another motion to
Make, " for the preservation of the public anorals."
The Minister of words fell sc. low last night, that he
wits compelled to grasp at an "if." "If, said his
Lordship, the whole is a conspitacy against the alt-rev,

false:toods against the Kiwis, anti carry these false-
hoods with all the strength which perjury can

gusting profligacy on the part of the KING. If such
wretches could be found, we should propose the flog-
ging them from tything to tything, at the least ; but
then, for the sake of Justice, we should propose
the much more severely punishing those who had laid
the foundation fur such wickedness, by rewarding it
when it was directed against the Qt LEN.
