MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1223.

A morning paper states that it is the intention of Sir
Frauds Burdett to move some Resolutions upon the eri.
deuce elicited on the enquiry into the conduct of the
Dublin Sheriff. That the settee of the few independent
imemebers of the House upon the indignity which it has
received, should be recorded, is evident : bat it is equally
evident tbat the tztjority which has keen trifled with,and
shocked by Sir Abraham Bradley King, would have so
much the more horror of provoking the High Sheriff in
penes, that any enquiry must end in the further triumph
of the ()range Faction, and the greater degradation of
the Honourable House. The Ministers must hare been
bard driven, when one of their friends rote to
vouch for the respectability of Sir Abraham Bradley
And how very kind of the House it was to forget,that
he is indebted to Iris property for his respectability, and
for Ids property to the public parse! It is oo mold
that he has, in his patent capacity of Government station r
charged most enormous prices to :he Government—
These matters are of public notoriety. All the ex.
case this conqueror of the House of Commons ever yea.
turea to offer, was, that a person in his employ bad
charged these prices, for time 'tole advantage of Sir A. B.
Mai, without the lebowidige of the said A. B. fling;
who is quite content to pocket the money so

to enquire from whence it tante ; and it surprised
the whole empire to hear that the Ekiglish Goren-
went. instead of punishing the fraud, and compelling
him to refund the money, bad only ordered hies to reduce

down every thing before him. He bade defiance to the law,
and conquered 11,in the 'Waitee alluded to ; and made a

peeked into the contest with him. Instead of a voyage be-
yond SW; ltis wis made a Baronet of—a sly trick on the part
of the Ministry to ascertain whether he could be won to
their side—but they did not bid high enough for such a mar.
He would not abandon the Stationery-Mice and the Orange
Lodges for any tides short of a Dukedom ; —and, with all
Mte:relentiesk pride*/ a conqueror, he'lefelled. the bowers
of the Commoni of England and Ireland, to the standard of
his respectability; or, to speak more properly, ntner
below it, 'for he has maintained all the respectability be

nests. Now to what can any further enquiry lead ? Is
there any farther proof desired that the Orange Faction
are births full possession of despoticautharity In Ireland?
There is, indeed, a'Bill before the House to shear the
Orange Lodges of their decorations, but the emoluments
of the Orangemen are to remain untouched; and Mr.
H. Dawson says, that " it is to the Orangemen they are
to look for the preservation of Ireland !" Nay, Mr.
Dawson sap, he would become an Orangeman himself,
if it went set for the oath. The Bill, lithe Orsogenten
will let it was, will abregee the oath; and Mr. Dztat-

the affairs of a nation in such hands. And, instead of

wondering that things should go wrong with us, we are
easpelted to exclaim in the word. of Cowper.—

" How, in the name of soldiership or sense,
" Should England prosper, when such things as these
" Presume to lay their hands spoil the ark
" Of her magnificent and awful cause."

Paris papers to the 31st alt. have brought a telegra-
phic despatch, which we have given in a preceding
column, of the entry of Marshal (Minot, with hie
whole corps into Matl...d, and of the establishment of a
Regency in that capital. The appearance of publicly in-
vesting all the authority in the hands of the Duke tratagou
lease, seems to have been abandoned, and theDukede Fie
fantado is nominated, as was expected, to be President of
the Regency. The other members are now said to be the
Duke de Montentar, the Bishop of Onus, the Baron
D' litotes, and M. Calderon. Of the President, we pre
a slight sketch on Saturday. The other Duke held fol•
merly the office of President of the Council of Indies...
Ofthe Bishop we know nothing more than that be is
a tree son of Mother Church." if the Baron is not
known, it is not his own fault; and of the untitled lieu-
tleann, we can learn nothing, bat that he is supposed to
have been viceroy of New Spain. In addition to
the Telegraphic despatch we have given General Bei!.
lessinot's Report to the Minister of War, of the occasion
of the defeat of &nieces. It is a curious specimen of
the good understanding and concert prevailing between
the army of France and that of the Faith.
The same telegraphic Despatch informs us that the corps
of Milans and Llobera, which Donnadieu boasted of
having entirely defeated, had attacked the French diri•
sion which occupied Mataro. The enemy, as mai.
claims a brilliant victory; but when we find the troop
which male the attack those whose destruction had a
feu; days before been represented as certain, we may ex
pent, when 'we receive this account, to learn a
very' different tenet.' • By the Journal den Debate wears
