BY the poiieness Of Capt. Mcclellan, Of
the ship Liverpool, which arrived at this port
from liverpool on Thursday last, we have
been iavoured With papers from the latter place
TO the 9Th and from London TO the 7th Of A
prli: we have endeavored TO enrich our col
umns with the contents OF them.
The principal subjects before Parlia merit
were, the bill TO remove The civil disabilities
OF the Roman Catholics the details Of The
annual supply; the corn averages bill and
The timber duties bill.
The Catholic bill had passed the House of
Commons by majority Of 10; it was ably
advocated by Mr.. Canning and Lord Castle
resgh, and warmly opposed by others of the
ministerial party. In the House Of Lords II
had been read first time, aud Tuesda y, April
10Th, assigned tor second reading. The Earl
of Liverpool and the Lord Chancellor gave
notice that they should oppose The bill, on
It's principle and on the Incongrurry OF It's
enactments. II IS thought the bill will not
pass that body.--On the subject OF supplies,
the opposition disputed resoIatey every inch
Of way, but with little success. Their object
was economy and reIrenchment, and as The
subjects were severaIly presented, they moved
reduction OF salaries and diminuiIon in the
number OF Offices. The Chancellor OF the
Exchequer observed that whenever Offices be-
came vacant, enquiries were instituted by the
treasury department into the expedIency Of
continuing them; and that wherever reductions
were necessary they had been made. Mr..
Hobhouse and Mr. Creevey, TWO active oppo
sitIon members, took occasion 70 inyeigh a.
gainst the influence Of the crown IN the House
OF Commons. The former observed that In
the time OF Charles !. 6 "a members were pos
led as holding places and receiving pensions
and It was proved that MIR. Burton had DIS
persed IL 1000 of the Secret service money
among the members. In that day, "a members
IN the whole House gave nickname 10 Par

only few nights ago, he had seen no less

Mr. Hume stated that on the best informa

return OF the expenses incurred Oh that &C

look this opportunity OF protesting against the
detention of the late Emperor Of France as

Naples notwithstanding her elevated probes

who wished success TO the cause Of freedom,

population Of that country is not ripe for liDer-

provinces and nations to 90 10 their assistance

they had discovered disposition 10 COM

her standard, before she had ever proved the
power of exertions, she brings double disgrace
upon her pretensions, and dispirits those who
would willingly have followed the example
which the first stages Of her revolution offered
All Italy must again settle upon her old base Of
