voted unanimously. These inipefiiit ingingsres only
await the Royal tweet. It is reumeludol, that the
Bishops of Madrid aid four other Preleiskiineluding
the Archbishop of Seville, and who were also the only
Members of the Cones bolas' that high ecclesiastical
rank, all voted in favour of both ustasures.

Mr. Hosea last night aids promised motion Is
the House( Commons relate* to the Oevetamont of
the lonian Islands, and the conduct of 4it Tiostal
MatTLasp. The object of the motion was to address
his MaJasTs for the appointment of a conoriesion to
proceed to those islands to inquire into the causes of
the disturbances that had lately existed there, and the
numerous arrests that had taken place. Mr. (locus-
not:ax replied to the Honourable Mover; and the
motion was rejected by a majority of 97 Against 27.
A !ministerial print this morning expresses no little so.
slimiest at the newborns that composed tire majority;
but though the numbers evinced the sentiments of these '
who voted on the occasion, no person who recollects
the impression made on the public mind when the
accounts of the occurrences arrived, can day that en-
quiry respecting them was, on the part of a British legis-
lator, legitimate anti proper. Mr. Hums has with such in-
defatigable and laudable industry applied himself,
during this Session especially, to investigate the abuses
that have crept into various departments of Govern-
ment, that we are not surprised he has become ob-
noxious to the advocates of Ministers. His public spirit
may he thwarted and exposed to obloquy, and the re-
sults of his operations may be for a while
concealed; but, we shall be much mistaken, if the
fruits of his exertions will not, in due time, be
fairly acknowledged, °and found to be of essential
benefit to his country. Lung has the country fronted
such a spirit as his, to search into these departments
where abuses have multiplied by neglect, and is
formidable by custom ; and England is not the only
nor the chief part of the British empire that requires
such scrutiny.—Well would it be for Ireland, said Lord
Domounnst on e, we think, the other day in the'House of
Peers if she too had her Ilcua.—The vote of last
night has decided that the Government of the lonian
Islands does not demand investigation ; bat still
the motion of Mr. Hymn may be prodective of
good. Mr. HASTINGS was very justly and harm -
ably acquitted of those charges which were brought
against his administration in India; but the Go-
rnment of India his been improving ear since.

There appear to be some grounds for
mentioned yesterday relative to a chaste
nistration, but not to any great extent. Thee a.
contemplated, if we can rely on the reports in cir-
culation, is with the eeceptioa of Mr. Canning, rather
a change of places than of measeres or amen. Another
paper of this morning asserts that it was eonlidently
stated last night, that Mr. Canning is about to return
to the Administration, as First Lord of the Admiralty,
with the privilege of forming his own Board : and that
to make room for this arrangement, Lord Melville is
to be Secretary of State for the Home Department,
Lord Sid:not:Oa Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster,
mad Mr. H. Bathurst President of the Board of Coo-
trout. Whether this arrangement may be calculated
to confirm the union among the members of the admi-
nistration must be left for time to develop,. At pre.
sent there are symptoms of agitation. Yesterday the
Lord Chancellor did not sit in the Court of Chancery,
and it was nnderatood, was it-ice in attendance on the
King. \either the Marquess of Londonderry nor any
other Ministers attended the House of Commons till
some time after the business had commenced.
Intelligence has bees received from the lonian
Islands up to the 9th of May, at which time the ut-
most tranquillity prevailed. The accounts from Pa-
tras are to the 3d of May. The Pasha of Negroponte
had arrived there with a Turkish force, and taken en-
tire possession of the town, after putting to death or
to flight the whole of the Greek population. Rein-1
forcementa of Turkish troops were arriving from Ho-1
melia and other provinces, against which the Greeks
had no means of defending themselves; bat their ves-
sels were everywhere annoying the Turkish trade.
We have already stated that the Insurgent Greeks
have now a squadron at sea. Upon this subject a
letter was yesterday received at Lloyd's, dated Genoa,
May 26, of which the tillowing is as extract A
Master of one of the vessels under the Sardinian fag,
who lately arrived from Odessa, has reported that in
the Archipelago he met with a fleet of armed vessels
under the Greek nag, one of which bailed him bat
offered no molestation."
Tim Kixo.—We are now enabled to state, on
authority on which we place perfect reliance, that his
Majesty does come to Ireland this summer. All the
great officers, and other distinguished personages who
are to attend his Majesty, have received official or-
ders to be in readiness at a moment's twice. His Ma-
jesty comes before the Coronation, and will therefore
set oat soon after the prorogation of Parliament. We
believe we may also add, with certainty, it is his 11.-
jesty's intention, in returning, to honor his ancient
kingdom of Scotland with a similar visit.—(Dablin
Evening Post.)
The Grand Jury sitting at the Old Bailey last night
returned • true bill against the proprietors of " The
/oh* Bair Ministerial Sunday paper, for a libel. A
true bill was also found against Jane Carlile for the
like offence.
Coarrtetyrroslii. ASSOCIATION.—Rdward King, of
Mummery-lane, the aewsvender, it appears, has made
a deposition is opposition to the affidavit of Hora-
tio Orton. lie King denies that he ever exposed
to sale any number or copy of the Political Die-.
tionsry, or uttered any such expression in refer-
ence to it as bad been imputed to him.
Summer DMlTll.—Died yesterday, after a few
boars' illness, the Countess of Mesbitroagh, at the
Earl of Menberonglt's Meuse, in Piccadilly.
