By the ship Lancaster Capt. West, we
have received the Liverpool Mercury
to the 18th Feb.
After discussion which lasted four
days, Mr.. Goulburn's motion for leave to
bring in a " bill 10 amend the existing
laws relative TO unlawful associations in
Ireland" was carried at three O'Clock
on the morning of the 10TH The prin-
cipal object of this bill, though directed
against all societies in ireland, is the
suppression of the Catholic Association
The numbers were 278, in support OF
the motion, and 1913 against it, leaving a
ina ority of ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY FIVE in favor of the ministers.
The latest news from Madrid, is dat

tant measures of indemnity to the emf
grants, though attended with infinite diff
ticulties, would be carried through.
From the answer of the ministers in
the Chamber Of Deputies, it is to be in
terred that the recognition of the South
American States by England, was a
measure anticipated by the French Gov.
ernment, and that therefore no occasion
of strife exists now between the two
governments on this subject.
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 9th
of Feb. states, as a report, that Sweden
had determined on following the exam

and deliberately shot him. The negro
lauguished few hours,and then expired.
Shortly after this catastrophe, a gen
tleman residing on or near the premises,
went to the field to investigate the mat
ter, and as he approached, the overseer
ordered him TO halt, or he would shoot
him. The gentleman, upon this threat,
directed one of the negroes TO go for his
gun, who while in the act of obeying The
order, was shot by The overseer, but
not dangerously. 9,
