tention of the House to three resolutions of the Irish
Parliament.

The SPEAKER suggested that it would be Isere
cotnisteat with orJer for the Honourable Sleitiber to
pat the resolutions which he wished to have read into
the hands of the clerk.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT acted upon the suggestion
of the Speaker. The resolutions were read by the
clerk, and went to prove that similar motions had
bees sn•cessfnlly made in the Irish Parliament.

Lord CASTLEIZAGH and Mr. M. FITZOZRALD ex-
plained.

Lord BECTIVE was of opinion that, tinder all the
circumstances of the case, the high sheriff of Dublin
bad combatted himself with judgment and propriety.
Lord W. FITZGERALD made a single observation
which canoed great cheering in the !louse ; it was in-
audible in the gallery.
Mr. CREEVEY trusted that, even in the present
day, if the meetings ef the people to petition were dis-
turbed by 'military violence, they would have the
virtue and the spirit to do themselves that justice
which they hall don. themselves before under the
auspices of a Russell and a eavandislt.—(Hear).
After a few words from Mr. C. WYNN, Lord JOHN
RI:SEEL/a replied.
The gallery was then cleared, and the House divid-
ed, when there appeared—For the motion, 90—
Against it, 124—Minority against it, 34.
Mr. C. WYNN moved a resolution that it be made
a stant'ing order of the !louse, that the Hunse will not
proceed on a motion for an address to the Crown, pray-
ing that money be issued on expenses incurred, ex-
cept in a committee of the whole House.
_

*After a few words from Mr. CACEVLy, Lord I:ASTLZ.
SCAUK, and Sir JOIN NIWPORT, the resolution was
agreed to.
Mr. WYNN then moved that a select committee
should be appointed to consider 4.f th • most etfectnal
meang for expediting the introduction of painc bills
into the Howie, and should be instructed to report
their opinion thereon.

pointed, after a short conversation beta ecu Mr. BRIGUT
and Lord l'AsTi.xitcAutt.

On the motion of 31r. CUIItWEN, the order of the
day for the second reading of the patent,' protection

aux, the intendment was carried, and the bill was

Apia',

In the House of Lords last night, the Margolis
of LANA DOWN &rave notice of a motion he should
make on Tuesday next, respecting Naples, the object
of which would he, not to convey any censure upon
his MAJERTICS Ministers, 110 T indeed to make env re-
ference to what hail passed, hut to express prospec-
tively his earnest hope that every effort would be
employed to prevent the recurrence and avert a con-
summation of a case so contrary to the fundamental
laws and constitution of this country, to the true
Wig of Europe, and the general happiness of man-
kind. Where the character and system of the Minis-
ters are not immediately involve", the rights of men
and nations have as fair a chance of being recognized
in Parliament, as in other assemblies of enlightened
persons. Mr. WILOKRIFORCE, Mr. Sit ‘IIT MORTLZt,
Mr. J. WARD, and others, who usually support
Administration, spoke as vehemently as any against the
tyranny and aggression of Austria, in her interference
with Naples, though they did not think it expedient
to fit limit. yam harmonise arta tittir speeches. Not
one Member, however, with all their bias towards
Ministers, could be induced to go so far as to de-
fend the abominable attack upon Naples. All
that Lord Ceti rLaason eamld say in behalf of his
High Allies, was that the Carbotiari, who were at the
bottom of the Neapolitan Revolution, were spread over
Italy and Germany, and that the Emperor of Arsvnts
was in consequence afraid of some convulsion in his
Italian States. lint if it be the fault of the Carbonari
to be hostile to despotic rule, and the principles of,
popular Government be a plea fur the invasion of
nations, then trite Government of Britain, so far aw
popular principles prevail in it, must be detest-
able to time rulers of the Coutinent, and we
are indebted only to our insular position that
we are exempt from their inroads. We are
therefore glad to hail that these principles are still
supported in a British Parliament, and hope that
the assertions of them will have no small effect in avert-
ing the danger with which Naples is menaced. Another
English ptinciple was also advocated last night in the
House of Commons, on the interference of the military
at the Dublin County Meeting : but the motion
founded nn it experienced time fate el MMIV other liberal
efforts, and was negatii col by a majority of 121 to 90.

nisterial Fmk paper, however, gives the following
account of the state of Spain :
lacs, Jet.v It—Letters from Madrid of the 10th,
state that the Capital was still in great agitation. The
Municipality sent several deputations to the permanent
sittings of the tortes, the object of which was not
known. The suppression of the Iludy tinird will he
the first measure of the Cortes. A column of troops
has set off from Corogne to disperse a body of 'nal-con-
tents in the environs of lit )rrnce. The affair of the
Republican Mendealdua, at Malaga, has taken a very
serious turn. Two persons have been arrested at
Antigua, for having taken a part in the Plot in the
South of Spain. The town of Pampeluna is still in
great agitation.
Beaus, Fan. 7.—A few days ago five Frenchmen
arrived here from 4ussia. They had been made pri-
soners in 1.112, and had been far in the interior of the
country. They were ...ell clothed, and the French
Ambassador here provided them with money to carry
them into their own country.
