The Marqness of LONDONDERRY instanced the
Society for the Suppression of Vice, to show that the
system was not unknown to the country.
Mr. SCA KLETT explained.
The soucrroa.m,:s ERA!. said be would take it
on himself boldly to affirm, that there was nothing io the
Institution contrary to law, ur to the spirit of the Consti-
tution.—(Lond Cheers from the Opposition.) Were the
(louse of Commons or the established Tribunals of the
country to determine what was the law The Hon.
Member then alluded to a prosecution a few discs ago
in the Court of King's Bench, in which the legality of
the Institution was determined.—(Cries of—No, so.)
The Judges had not declared it unconstitutional or ille-
gal, as they would have done if that was their decision.
Lord MILTON protested against the interpretation
that the opinion of the Judges was in its favour, be-
cause they had expressed no opinion whatever. It was
not their duty to give an opinion upon a matter brought
only incidentally before them.
Mr. W. WY NS objected to the existence of irre-
sponsible prosecutors ; and cautioned the House
against giving encouragement to such societies, by
alluding to the consequences of the Orange Lodges
established in Ireland.
After some further observations from Mr. Scarlett,
which our limits do not permit us to notice, Mr. Hume
moved the postponement of the Report then before the
House till this day. Marquess Londonderry having ac-
quiesced, the consideration of the Report was post-
poned accordingly.
The Report on the Bankruptcy Laws Amendment
Bill was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be read
a third time on Monday next.
The House was proceeding with the further Orders
of the Day, when Mr. JAMES rose and moved that
the House should be counted. Strangers were then
ordered to withdraw. There not being 40 Members
present, the House adjourned at one o'clock.

I.tact..—The indictment fonnd at the late Quarter
Sessions against Dorid Ridgway,of Swarsbrick•street,
for publishing a seditious libel, has been removed, at
the instance of the prosecutors, into the Court of
King's Bench. The warrant of the Chief Justice was
immediately issued, upon which Ridgway was appre-
hended, and brought before James Norris, Rtg. at the
New Bailey Court-House. on Saturday (26th inst.)
Bail was then given for him to appear at the Court
of King's Bench. The sureties were Mr. Peter Tur-
ner Cantlelet and Mr. James Walker, in 501. each.
Ridgway's proper business is that of a fustian-cutter,
but he has been for some time a noted seller of politi-
cal pamphlets. The indictment against him has been
preferred by the Constitution Society, and will proba-
bly be tried at the nest Lancaster Assists.—(iVan-
eheeter Herald.)
James Mornington, the man who about three weeks
since was figuring about the town, first as a clergy
matt, then a captain, changing his name as often u
was necessary, is in custody on a charge of frauds at
Bath. He was overtaken in his flight from thence.
His alleged wife, his partner in swindling jewellers,
inilliners, &t. left Bath the day before him for Ox
ford.

LONDON:
IMMRSDAT MINING, MAT 31, 1821.
The Prided Ernest Packet is arrived with the mail
from the Leward Islands ; left Barbadoes the sth of
April, and St. Thomas's the 20th of April. Passen-
gers on board, Sir Ralph Woodford, Mr. and Master
Gomez. The mail is detained for Quarantine, and
will be in town to-morrow. We understand that a
sickness prevailed on board the vessel.

Paris papers to the 29th inst. arrived this morning.
In some letters from Bayonne of the 22d inst. it is
intimated that the Empecinader not being able to
reduce under his power the Guerillas of Merino, has
given dissatisfaction to the Government ; that he is
suspected of treason, and has been recalled to Madrid.
His successor is lot yet known. Most of the ins-
pected persons who bad been arrested in Uallicia,
have been embarked and sent to the Canary Islands.
Many prisoners made at Salratierra, among whom were
several Ecclesiastics, have escaped from prison and ar-
rived at Bayonne.
VIENNA. MAT Ili.—We learn that Victor Emma-
nuel will arrive here in the course of next week, accom-
panied by the Emperor, who quits Laybach on the
21st or 2211. A Supreme Ordinance has been publish-
ed, prohibiting expressly the exportation of arms and
materials of war for Wallachia and Moldavia. Let-
ters from Semlin of the 7th of May, inform 114 that
the Serviaits have raised the standard of revolt. Two
Bostangis-bachis were recently sent from Constanti-
nople to Belgrade, with orders to summon befo..e the
Paella the principal chiefs of the districts of Servia.
These, however, having been apprised of their danger,
(viz. that they might expect decapitation) con-
trived to effect their escape. They then took up arms
against the Pacha of Bosnia. The Serviettes were for
the most part fully disposed to unite in the cause. A
Deputation was afterwards sent to Prince Ypsilanti.—
On the 28th or 311th ult the Pacha of Wieldin was to
commence operations against Theodore Wladimiresco.
He had palessed the Danube near Widdin, at the head
of 8,000 men. It is said that he was defeated near
Krajowa on the Ist jolt, by Wladimiresco, and com-
pelled to re-pass the river. The Greeks speak highly
of the affair.
AVGARCRO, MAT 20.—Letters direct from Herm-
stadt, in Transylvania, announce that a hotly of o.to-
man troops entered Bucharest, on the 30th of April.
By letters from Cronstadt, it appears that Theodore
Wladimiresco had attacked and completely beaten the
Packs. of %Vidalia. 1t is also asserted, with the greatest
confidence, that the Servians have revolted from the
Porte.
It is reported that very important dispatches have
bon received at Laybach, from Constantinople. They
weer transmitted through the Ambassadors of Russia
and Austria, resident at the Porte. The atrocities
committed at Constantinople by the Turks, and also
the attack upon Iles Patriarch, which gore rise to
those declarations on the part of the above Ministers,
appear to be the subject of the communications ad-
dressed to the powers at Laybscla. The cruelties of
the Turks were the means of exasperating the Greeks,
and making many of them participate in the revolt,
though otherwise they would not leave done so.
LISIION, MAT 12.—The Cortes have been occupied
in their last sittings with projects of laws relating to
franchises and the liberty of the Press. Many articles
of the latter projet have already been adopted. It has
been decided that Librarians shall be held responsible
for the publication of works against the Roman Catho-
lie religion, and those of an immoral or defamatory ten-
dency ; that authors and translators shall possess the
copyright of their work during life ; their descendants
for ten years after their decease. The punishment of
offences shall vary from six months to two years. It
shall be considered an abuse of Ile_ liberty of the
Press to excite revolt; to attack the Conqitutional
system ; to bring into discredit or insult the national
fiongress or the Chief of the executive power.—
The debate on the law was to be resumed at the next
sitting.
MADRID, MAT 19.—The King has sanctioned the
decree of the Cortes prolaileiting the sending of money
tee Rome to obtain marriage licenses. In the sitting
of the 16th inst. the Committee presected a project
of law relative to the Dutch loan ; by this project it
was enacted that the interest shall commence (ruin the
period at which the King accepted the Constitution,
vii. 9th March, 1820. The payment of interest, for
the time previous, was to be provided for in the same
way as other interests in arrears. This project was
rejected by a majority of two voices. A discussion
on the general system of finance was commenced un
the 19th.
.Ibe MoNffewr coatis. a Royal Ordinance, stating.
that on the solicitation of the Marquess Bartheleuav
to be succeeded in his office of Vice- President of the
French Chamber of Peers, on the grounds of ill-health,
the King has accepted his resigosslion, and, in consi-
deration of his eminent services, has appointed him
an Honorary Vice-President. The same Ordinance
appoints the Marquess de Pastoret to succeed him.

CIRCULAR DESPATCH PROM THE COURTS OP ISCSIIIA.
ACETRIA, AND PRUSSIA, TO THEIR MINISTERS AT
FOREIGN COURTS.
Under this title, and under the date of the first
d-
De-
claration, the 12th of May, the Holy Allies have a
dressed to their respective Legations at Foreign Courts,
a third document from Laybach, as an exposition of
the motives of their conduct at the Congress, and the
results that have taken place, particularly in the Ita-
lian Peninsula. This document is, in the main, but a
repetition of the doctrines and pretensions disrtplayed
on their previous Declarations: the only pas that
have any novelty or extraordinary interest are the fol-
lowing :—After ascribing to " an impious league,"
which aimed to overthrow what exists, the agitations
that had taken place in Italy, this despatch proceeds
to state Gut " The Allied Sovereigns could not fail to
perceive that there was only one barrier to oppose to
this devastating torrent. To preserve what is legally
estabiislted—such was, as it ought to be, the invariable
principle of their policy, the point of departure, and
the final object of all their resolutions. They were
not to be deterred in their purpose by the vain clamours
of ignorance or malice, accusing them of condemning
humanity to a state of stagnation and torpor, incom-
patible with the natural and progressive march, and
with the perfecting, of social institutions. Never
have these Monarchs manifested the least disposi-
tion to thwart real ameliorations, or the reform
of abuses which creep into the best Governments.—
Very different views have constantly animated
them ; and if this repose, which Governments and
nations were justified in supposing secured by the
pacification of Europe, has not operated all the
.rood which might have been expected to result from
it, it is because Governments have been compelled to
concentrate all their energies:: on the means of opposing
bounds to the progress of a faction, which dissemi-
nating every where error, discontent, and a fanaticism
for innovation, would soon have rendered the existence
of any public order whatever problematical. Us.fill
or necessary than&et's is legislation, amid in the govnisi
nistration of Stated, ought only to emanate I out the
free will, and the iattlligent aid well-weighed coavic-
tion of those whom GOD has rendered responsible for
power. All that desiates from this line, necessarily
leads to disorder, commotions and evils far more insuffer-
able than those which they pretend to remedy. Pene-
trated with this eternal truth, the Sovereigns have not
hesitated to proclaim it u ith frankness and vigour :
they have declared that, in respecting the rights and
independence of all legitimate power, they regat ded as
legally null and as disavowed by the p, iacipks which
constitute the rettic rig•ltt of Europe, all pretended re-
form, operated by revolt aid open hostility. They
have acted conformably to this declaration, in the
events which have taken place at Naples, in those of
Piedmont, and in those even which, under very differ-
ent circuistaners, though produced by combinations
equally criminal, have recently mule the eastern part
of Europe a prey to incalculable convulsions.
" Lalled more than ever, as well as all the other So-
vereigns and lawful Powers. of Italy, to watch over the
maintenance of the peace of Europe; to protect it not
only against the errors and passions which may com-
promise it in the intercourse between one power and an-
other, but more particularly against those disastrous at-
tempts which would spread the horrors of universal
anarchy over the eivilized world ; they would consider
it a profanation of so august an object, to be guided by
the strict calculations of a vulgar policy. As all is aim-
pie, open, and frankly avowed in the system which they
have embraced, they submit it with confidence to the
judgment of all enlightened Governments.
The Congress (re-union) which is about to close.
will meet again in the course of the next year. Then
will be taken into consideration the fixing of a term to
the measures which, from the acknowledgment of the
Courts of Italy, and particularly of tho* of Naples and
Turin, have been judged necessary to consolidate the
Zranquillity of the Peninsula."

COURT OF OF KING'S BENCH. itISTItINSTER, MAT 30.

TUC KING r. CAR rWRIniIT, WOOLER, EDMONDS, LEWIS,

AND MADDOCKS.

A:~`.

(Continued from the Statesman of yesterday.)
Mr. Pt:At:sus (the defendant's attorney) said that, in
order to alter the affidavit of Major Cartwright to the
satisfaction of the Court, time would be necessary : it
must be examined sentence by sentence.
Mr. Justice 'tangy said that the affidavit of Mad-
docks was also open to objection. Part must he struck
out, and the rest re-sworn.
Major Cartwright ;gad Maddock, then retired with
Mr. Pearson to makaihe necessary amendments.
The defendants Wooler and Lewis, being called on,
said that they had no affidavit to offer.
The Loan Cuter JUSTICIL—Then we will go on with
something else in the interim.
After a trifling case was disposed of, the defendants
came into Court c and, the refortaation of Major Cart-
wright's affidavit having been accomplished, the reading
of that document was resumed. It took a review of the
deponent's political life, his wvitings,rd opinions,
from the year 1774 to the preseut period( tat forth a
variety of plans devised by hint from time its time fur
the public benefit, with letters of thanks addressed to
him as the projector; and argued that, front the whole

Amour of his condnct, he must be uqnitted of any
intent to disturb the government of his meaty, or to
ester revolutionary feeling. The affidavit concluded
by alluding to the deponent's pecuniary situation : his
I incense, from repeated losses, had become, comparative-

ly, narrow.
No affidavits were put in on the part of the prose-
cution.
The defendant Edmonds, in mitigation, began by
complaining that his trial bad not been a fair one.
The COURT would not permit that question again to

be agitated.
The defendant then went into the merits of the case,
and contended that the election of Sir Charles Wolesly
had only been considered as a mode of trying the quer
tion—whether Birmingham was or was not entitled to
be represented in Parliament. It was the intention of
the electors to submit to the decision of the House of
Commons, whatever it might be; and instructions were
given, therefore, to Sir Charles Wolesly for his guidance,
in case admission should be refused to him. The electors
applied to the House as to a competent tribunal ; their very
application for its upiniou was an acknowledgment of
its authority. The defendant then went on to discuss
the general conduct and character of the House of Com-
mons, as well as the Laws and Constitution of the country.
lie was repeatedly interrupted by the Court. After re-
posted checks,
The Loan CHIRP JusTicr. observed, that the object
with which such topics were introduced was perfectly
plain. He could wish the defendant not to deprive him-
self of his claim to favourable consideration.
The defendant proceeded to answer the arguments
employed by Mr. Serjeant Vaughan at the trial of the
cause, and touched upon the proceedings of " The Con-
stitutional Society." Ile then again d
averted to the
Constitution of the country ; and said that he did not
feel himself bound to obey a law of the legislature when
it was contrary to the law of tiod.
Mr. Justice lizsT said that such a declaration ought
not to be permitted. There was an end to Governtnent
if the defendant, or persons like him, were to take upon
themselves to judge whether a law of the legislature
was, or was not, contrary to the law of God. They must
be taken to be in conformity.
The defendant said that when he came before hleaven
he should not he allowed to plead an act of Parliament.
He then desired that he might have strict and impartial
justice ; and, after speaking for about two hours, sat
i down with referring to the unhappy condition of his
family.
7he Loan CIIIET 31:!RTICE said, they Court could
go no farther. The would return to the case on Fri-
day next.

TIM KING O. RICHARD RLACOW, CLERK.
This was the case of liyel upon her Majesty the
Queen.
The Lotto Cuter Jcsviea, as soon as the Judges
took their seats, said that the Court had considered of
Mr. Parks objection. Looking at the exalted station
of the complaittaut, they w of opinion that an es
eulpatory afflltavit was tOtikeesa ry : the rule for

WESTMEATH V. WESTMEATH.
There had been an error in onr report of this

Lordship said that there was nothing in the case on
which equity could say that Lady Westmeath ought
to be prevented from enforcing her legal remedies
under the deeds in question.

Bon'-SYBEET.--BuRGLARY.--••On Tuesday night (or,
rather, yesterday morning), the house of Mr. Browne,
a cheesenionger, in tirafton-street, Soho, was broken
open, and robbed of nearly 3001. chiefly in gold and
silver money.
Information was given at this office as soon as it
was open, and, in less than twenty minutes after,
Ellis, a conductor of the patrole, and John Fut-re-
m:in had apprehended two notorious jiousebreaker!,
of the games of Holding and Wade, who underwent
a long examination, charged with being concerned in
the burglary. The entry was ar te dby forcing the
flap of the cellar, through wplace admittance
was gained to the shop; the tII was forced open, ap-
parently by a crow bar, and there were taken out 1001.
in silver, and thirty pounds in sovereigns and guineas,
1101. in notes, anti 121. in copper. On searching the
lodgings of the prisoner Wade, who occupied a garret
in Crown•street, Soho, 1971. in notes and silver were
discovered coneesled in different parts of the room ;
an iron crow, wlsirli corresponded with the marks os
the cellar flap, and thirteen skeleton keys were found
secreted up the chimney, a great quantity of new boots
and shoes, which is supposed t be the produce of
some other sohbery was also foo und. The prisoners
were remanded until Saturday next.
tacEEN-Stavana.—A black man, named .lackson.!l
was charged with violating- the person of Mary Jones.l,
a poor innocent girl, while pretending to tell her fur-'
tune. He was committed for re-examination.
IV° i 1 s r-s ra Ft:T.—Yesterday Joseph Steers, car-
man to Messrs. James Uruby and Co., coal-merchants,
of the Sun Coal Wharf, Upper Thames-street, was
fined in the mitigated penalty of 51. for driving away
his waggon how the house of Mr. J. M. French, of
Dolhy-terrace, Islington. It was proved in evidence
that the carman had measured, at the request of Mr.
French, one sack of coals which were short of the
measure. The proper meter was sent for; but the
carman drove away with the remainder before his ar-
rival ; and it was for his having done so that the fine
of 5/. was imposed, that being contrary to the statute.
bIARLOOROUOU-STREIT.—A man was charged by
Mr. Glossop, wax and tallow chandler, with obtaining,
by false pretences, candles,fitc. to the amount of 1501.
The prisoner, dressed as an tipper servant, represented
himself to be butler to Dr. Bree, and be obtained the
