THE STATESMAN.

'redress. It sl.olthl he recollected, bow ever. that a
comp.mint of a breach of privilege made by a Bight
lionourabl..ll Iranct (Sir J. Newport), founded upon
an es-parts statement in The IA Feraimg Pee,
had since been aseertaineil to be wholly unfounded.
aceliaat• of the heti e preferred by the Peti-
tioners ought nut to Im turertaitseal by the House, nor
was this House a fit tribunal to be troubled with such
matters, unless an appeal had been made without ef-
fect to the competent authorities. He wluld detain
the !louse no I..eiKer, than to express his regret at the
party feeling which now unhappily pervaded in Ire-
land.

Mr eALCRAFT said, he believed the party spirit
of which the Honintrah:e Baronet complaimol, was to
be found principally among a class of persons with
wl no man was more intimately counecteil than the
Hononrable Baronet hinivelf. He alluded to the
Orange Faction. The Honourable Baronet had com-
plained, ton, that no application had been made to
the Irish 6merntismit ; but was be sore the Irish 6o-
vernment had themselves taken no part in thvie trati-
%actions ? Were not the police the permits who had
taken the most active part during the whole period of
the late election ? There things would conic to light,
when the merits of that election came before a Com-
mittee.

Sir O. Htu, in explanation, said, that hr was nu
Orangeman, nor had he any connexion with the party
which the Hower:dile lientlrniati hie designated as
the 4Jranre Faction. 14.

Mr. CALCRAFT said he Ira% boundeto receive the
correction of the Honourable Hacouie, thoncb he
bad certainly entertained a strong impression to the
contrary.
_ _

Mr. iltrawst, thonffht the employment of the mill-
tary daring an election was so unconstitutional a pro-
ceetliiii, that the House outtht not to delay the consi-
deration of the Petition.

Sir IL Iltt.t. said he understood no military had
been employed and the Iforse Police were intro-
duced only with a view i f presenting the peare.
Air. Ti I:11NET said this WWI certainly a tinetios of
rousiderabh• importance, if it involved the privileges
of the House, and he hoped the Petition would be
taken into consideration on some future occasion.

The C.. xrit.t.on nt• the Farnagcrtt stinfe%te'l (we
twliese) tin. Peti►ion in question n►iKht I►e eon-
sidereil as an Klw•tioo Petition, and referred to a Com-
mittee.

„Mr. Tiraxev said he should rcasli!y have acquiesred
the course sures:ol4l by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, loot there teas this ook,ection t a it, that the
Art of Parliament required Election Petitions to be
presented within I-1 slays after the r. turn.
Mr. V. Ft :corn %to said it was impossible to take
the course reecomnetoled by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. hot the Petition oneht certainly t.o he taken
into consideration at as early a period as possible.
The Petition w:ss ordered to lie on the Table, and to
be printed.
11r. Aislermate WHOP said, he held in his hand a
Petition signed by an indisitlnal monied tiro. Ed-
monds, in behalf of the inhabitants of itirmintelsam.
Ile was aware, that Rooter these eirennistances. the
forms of the thaw would not permit him to prevent a

complained of a peat variety of grievances, and he
was not aware that it contained any objectionable mat-
ter. He had, however, haul no opportunity of reading'
it, and he wished the whole of the Petition to be read.
that the House might have am opportunity of jndging
for itself.

Upon theangrestion of the Chineellor of the E.
chequer, Mr. Altlcruiati Wood consented to withdraw
the Petition till to-morrow, observing, that he should
rot have bronght it forward, if he had supposed the
Mouse would %it to-u►orrow

INSOLVENT DElllOlOl' BILL—The Arran-
xtv-tizsgssi. having moved that the !loose should
agree to the amendments made by the House of
Lords in the Insolvent Debtors Bill.

Mr. AMERCoII/MOIR wished to know 'startle what
was the nature of those amendments. It might he
that they entirely changed the character of the bill,
and that it consequently would expedient to thron-
the hill out altogether, with a view of introducing
another in the next Session of Parliament.
The ArTlSltNitv-tiannts4 acknowledged that he
hall not bad leisure to study the amendment *hick
had been made in this hill by the House of Lords, :
sufficiently to explain their precise character. Ile
understood, however, that they by no means tended ,
to change the principle of the measure.
Mr. COURTILN.If and Mr. Wnorrstmer both stated
that the amendments chicly badlia view the machinery
of the bill, atwi represented the retreats injury which
would result is a large class of individuals, if the bill
were not to pass into a law.
Mr. CALCRAIT maintained the expediency of ascer-
taining the exact tendency of the amendments.
Mr. CALVERT suggested to the tonbeetiiiir sod
trned Attornertieneral, whether it mightsot be
advisable to delay his motion until to-morrow, in order
that he (the Attorney-Orneral) might have an oppor-
tunity of examining the amendments, with a view of

explaining them to the Home.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed,
that as two honourable and learned gentlemen had
stated that the amendments did not affect the principle
of the measure, he did not see any cause for delay.

The amendments were then arises! to.

DET.IILS FROM NAPLES.
(PROM Tifit 110141TRI:R.)
[Extract front a private Letter dated Naples, Jeig 10.]
The delay of right days. which the king had assigned
in his first Prorlamation of the fisornlng of the 6th, to pro-
pose and publish the Fundamental Articles of the Consti-
tution. appeared too long for the impatience of the army.
or rather of Sitio. who direct it. Hence the Insurgents of
Avellino hastened to send Deputationa. while here even their
friends, their aswiciates, formed t'omuslttees. and supported
their demands. They wished to hare adopted without delay
the. Constitution of the Cortes of 114111. aid to have it signed
by the Kis; in 24 hours. Negociations took plate with
them on the morning of the 7th. and shout inid-ilay appear-

•• buou atteronnla there was published a Proclamation
from the Ytiure % icar lieaeral, promising the Spanish Con-
stitution such as it was demanded. lint this did not appear
aullicient to the Insurgents. They demanded that the fume
should promise it, and sigs it himself. Towards evening
there appeared a new Procleinatios, by which the limn con-
firmed the r00d... of the PRINCR. his son and bound him-
self upon hi. (idea of a KIM:, to swear to the Constitution
I before the Provisional inn?' which was about to be formed
till he could swear to it before the (ieneral Parliament law-
fully assembled. To this Proclamation was sailed a De-
cree of the PRINCE Vicsa U . which promulgated
the establialiment of the l'onatitution. reserving such modi-
fications as the National Representation might introduce
into it.
•• The same evening several regiments returned to Naples
in sera- good order. All the inhabitants exerted themselves
to maintain tranquillity. It was only threatened by the ef-
fervescence of a crowd of young people, who demanded
arms with loud cries. and who in part were satisfied. The
lower people took no pert in the different movements ; they
showed themselves so passive that one might believe them
diaaesisfleil with what had taken place.
