The Times, 1824-05-28T00:00:00

Mr. BiowNLOW has given notice of a motion for thi- night in the House of Commons, the aim of which is sup. posed to be the putting down of the Irish Catholic Asso. ciation. This association is a self-constituted body, if thai can be called a body which has no one principle of conti- nuity or coherence--assombling and dissolving on the same day. The component parts of this new invention are alto- gether undefined. Every man who pleases, as it seems from the Irish newspapers, may attend in a certain room any day in the week, and make a speech upon Catholic grievances, and see a report of his speech the next morning under the head of " Catholic Association." How Mr. BROWNLOW is to attack an abstract and nondescript essence of such a nature, we shall learn, probably, before we are [many hours older. It is obvious that the Convention Act (introduced, if we remember right, by the late Lord C LARE) has no sort of reference to any but delegated as- semnblies-each member of which professes to represent particular bodies of tlhe IKNG's subjects. lf Catbolics are to be prevented from meeting in a room and discussilg matters which concern their own well-being, it would be difficult to allow the privilege so forbidder to any other class of British subjects. Yet even by the Six Acts that right was held sacred, among many which were destroyed ! But the fact is, that the Catholic Association, however of- fensive it may appear to Mr. BROWNLoW, has proved a God-send to the Orange interest of Ireland. It is one of the thousand follies of the Catholics, supposing the class of Catholics who support it to be sincere in their desire for emnancipation. The noblemen and higher gentlemen of that body have ever discountenanced the moc Parliament set up by the agitators. Had the latter been hired by the Orange ascendancy to fight i-s battles, to serve the cause of bigoted intoleranc?, and multiply the Euglish enemies of emancipation, they couldnothavepursuedamore ju- dicious course than that whiich the proceedings ef their would-be legislators have exhibited. The acrimony of their language is enough to make adversaries, if they bad none. The vagrant spirit with which they abandon one grievance to fasten on another, leads quiet men to suspect that there exists among them no wish to have an individual wrong redressed, but that their purpose is to keep up the game of fermenitation, and to raise a storm in the hope of being suffered to rule it We pronounce not absolutely upon any man's motives, but if actions are allowed to be the most reasenable index by which to judge them, wc should say that the wild and turbulent part of the Catho- lics are afraid of being extinguished by the removal of their acknowledged grievances. Yet how Mr. BaowNLow is to put down the Association we know not; and as every thing Irish turns to gall, so, we fear, vill the debate upon his motion.
A letter from the Havanna...
The Times, 1824-06-18T00:00:00

.A letter froni the Havannah possesses some. interest. It states that the new XMexican Government has.prohibited all. intercourse between her few ports and the'islan'd of Cuba. The tammercial difficulties produced by -this.mesurevwill tend to alienate even the latter phu from Old Spain. In- deed, the penple of the Havannah begin already. to profess that they look to the recognition of the independenoe of South America by the Spanish Government at home. *Ve suspect, however, they may look long ere they see or ffnd the object for whicil tlieyare looking: there -is no such wisdomn in the Councils of FEaRDINAw. In the mean time heis losing all the advan tages which, through a speedy recognition, he might derive from friendly commerce, and the partiality of kindred origin, similar language, and identity of religious faith.- He will wait till all his partisans are extinct, aiiad thein Old Spain will have no more connexion with New than 'with Kamt- schatka. Those SQuth Americans who are now too weak to re-establish the obsolete counnxion with the mother country, might yet serve to infuse amiity and respect to- wards her into commercial treaties: they might consigni to her a preference, though they cannot reinstate her in a despotism. But no; a tyrant is a wreckless being: if he is not absolute, he thinks himself nothing. The Ameri- cans, from contiguity, and. other causes connected with their civil policy, are appropriating those advantages and that precedence, to wvhich the Spaniards of Old Spain may be supposed to have ihe most natural .claim, and to vhich, after them, all other states have an equal right. IVe think that while Ministers are paving this homage to the prej udices and infatuzation of Old Spain, they ought to be able to show that we lose nothing, or at least nothing important, by our forbearing to recognize the independence of the new States. Suppose Eome of the most important channels of commerce were to be pre-occupied by others, in consequence of our tardiness on this head; hou would Old Spain indemnify us for the loss? By ingraritude and hatred.

Consistory Court, May 15.
The Times, 1824-05-17T00:00:00

rThe Court was occapied for some hours in hearing the argument of counsel in this case, upon the question of costs,; Mrs. Gregg haT- ing applied to the Court to direct her costs to be paid. before pro- ceeding to the principal cause, which is brought by AMr. Gregg for a restitution ef conjugal rights, and has been pending ever since 1819. Certain acts of cruelRv lave been pleaded in bar by the wife; and as she professes to examine witnesses on the allegation in which those acts are charged, she bas prayed the Court to make the order in quextion as a preliminary step. The application was opposed by the counsel for 31r.Gregg, on the ground that the lady was in a much better situation to pay the costs ofthese proceedings than the husband ; that his business asasolicitor in Cork produced him not more than 5001. per annum, or there- abouts; and that he had nine children, seven of whom being still in ter ninority,'he was at the charge nf maintaining and edu- eating; that on the other hand, Mrs. Gregg, who had nobody to suppor; but herself, possessed a clear income of 5801. a year; and that therefore her psyer ought not to be complied with. The learned counsel admitting the general rule to be, that the ex- penses of proceedings at law between husband and wife were to be paid by the husband, contended, however, that where the wife had a separate property and estate secured to her, the case was different: and they relied, as authority for such exception to the rule, on se- veral cases reported in books of practice, viz. :-" Wilsoi v. Wil inn," (Consistory Court, 1797); and " Davis and Davis," (Arches, I789)-the first of them reported at length, the second adverted to inanote in2Haggard's Reports,203; also on " Fust v. Fust," (Consistorv, 1739); ' Ho:mjes v. flolmes," (Arches, 1755); and "Lady D'Aguilar v. Baron D'Rguilar," (Consistorv, 1794.)

The Times, 1824-06-07T00:00:00

Very satisfactory accounts of the state of the Independent cause in Peru were received on Saturday. According to let- ters from Lima of the 231 of January, and accounts from I>P*NA .9MIitnry councilhad been held of the officers of the army of CANTARAC, the Spanish Gene. ral, at which the resolution was adopted, in the event of the fall of the Constitutional cause in Spain, not to acknow- ledge the Government of the " Absolute King." An officer was subsequently despatched for Lima, as was supposed, with proposals to Congress for an arrangement for peace. The reply of the Congress was said to be, that the Govern- ment could not enter into any treaty without consulting General BoLIVAR. A communication afterwards took place with the General, whowasin head-quarters at Pitivilca, when the Conde de ST. DONAS was appointed to bonvey an an- swer to the message of the Spanish General. It was supposed that Commissioners would be named immediately, to bring the matter to an amicable issue. In the department of the Isthmus of Panama, recently annexed to the Republic of Colombia, the best spirit prevails. On a report that a French force was to be landed at Panama from the vessels of war in the Pacifl, the male population all took up arms. Upwards of 6,000 militia turned out, and a general muster took place at Chorena, a small town in the department of the Isthmus, when men of all ages presented themselves as volunteers, to be enTolled for the general defenice.

Miuch surniise was hazar(led yesterday in the city, re. specting the flcet seen in the Gulf of Micxico by the Cap- tain of the IYalmer Caas1le on the Rth ilt., stecring for the westwvard. The general suppositiou is, that they wcre last from Havannah, and carrying troops for the relief of the garrison of St. Juan de Ulloa. On consulting at Lloyd's the list of vesscls sailing froin that port, whichi extends to the 13th of August, it appears that thc following vessels left it on the 29th of ffuly-viz., the Spanish sloops of war, Sabina, Captain JosE M. CHACO M;alria Irancisca, Cap. tain JOSE* antl the Znfiro, Captain J. VALERA-all lbound for the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa. There sailed lalso fromn Havannah, on a cruise, on the I38th of July, the French frigate La Jean d'Arc, Captain DAr'O'rET, on1 a cruise. Supposing the latter vessel to have fornmed a junc- tion with the Spanish ships, there would still remain three orfournmore to be accounted forto complete the number seen. In this, however, there may be some error; and it is, on the Whole, probable that the three sloops of wat werer the oLyi vessels passea by the W,tfief tZ d- that their des.. tination was as above stated. 9.vi 'the 4th of August, the convoy mentioned by the Captain of lthe latter vessel was in lat. 22. N., longitude.. *Vr. They were then steering direct for Vera Oruz,. in front of . whicih place the tastle of St. Juan de MI1lOas situated.

ST. BOT'OLTP, ALrno.rE._There is atrong reason to believe that the impropriator of tithe in this parish will aeree to a fair and equitable arraz gernent through the meiiuin of Parliament, of his tithes in this parish. It is considered' that the parishioners woull have no objection to include in the arrangement annual certain sti- pends to the officiating nriaisters, whe, in this parish, are without ayv at preentA. 9 T.0T Ol Pt, BIIsuoPSGATE._The Lord Bishop ofOChester, the rector of this parish, who is held in high esteem by his parishioner.7, is about to be provided br them with a residence in Devonshire- square, and is favourable io an arranaement, to prevent future ques. tionsuunder the statuteofHenry VIIL Tbe worthy Bishop hasnot increased his tithes since he has held the living, andis extremely le- nient to aU ihe poorer class of inhabitants. St. Dunstan's in the west, St. Andrew's, Holborn, St. Bride's, and St. Catherine Cree, are protected by acts of Parliament. ALLHALLOWS BAlRXING.-The Rev. MIr. Johnes, the rector, is urndersood to be favourable to a permanent satisfactory arrange. ment. ST. HEr.LENss3 BEIHOpSGATE.-Mr. lac Dougal, the layim- propriator, it is believed, would dispose of his ititerest in the tithes feo a fair remuneration, eccording to'tbe consideration which he gave for therm. The parishioners talk of purchasing them; and might, in the course of a few years, as the major part are ancient customary payments, enndrelv extinguish and pay them ofR A fayeurable op- rtunity occurs of pursxing the same course in the parish of St. aotolph without Aldersgate. It is much to be wished that the Rev. Dr. )wen, of St. Olave, Hart-street; the Warden and Alinor Canons of St. Paul's, as to st. tregory bv St. Paul'a; the Rev. MIr. Holmea, of Cripplegate; the venerable Archdeacon Nares, of Allhallows, London-wall; the Rev. 14r. Antrobus, of St. Andrew Undershaft., &e., wold pursue the same line of conduct for quict. in the feelings of their respective parishioners. The equitable and conciliatory termination of tithe disonte in many of the parishes is mainly attributed, by those who havc been so deeply oppressed, to the vigorous manner in which some of the public journals have espressed condemnatien of the system.

We are pleased to see, by a Bogota paper of the 7th October, that a Co-mmissioner from the King of the NETHERLANDS has been presented to the lVice-President of Colomnbia, and has delivered a speech expressive of tlle most friendly and expressive sentiments on the part of His Belgic Majesty towards the infant state. The Vice-Pre- sident, in the course of his reply, declared that it was the anxious wish of Colombia to have amicable and mercantile relations with all the countries in the world. The creden- tials intrusted to the British Commissioners by Mr. CANNING are translated in the same paper, and are certainly decisive as to the resolution of this Government to cultivate the frieudship of Colombia, and virtually, at least, to ac- knowledge her national independence.
Ferdinand And His Ambassa...
The Times, 1824-05-04T00:00:00

Some of the consetquenecs of King Ferdinand's dishonesty and breach of faith in pecuniary miatters are of serious andi lamentable importance: others are not a little ludicrous and at,using. JBy re- fusing to acknowledge his f4rmner debts, no foreigners will advance him further loans; an.l bv misgoverning the nation, his subjects can pay hin no taxes. He himself may live at free quarter in convents, eating sweetnieats and singing canticles with the monks; but his Envoy to England is stopped at Paris, for want of fundq to crossthe Chiannel; and a diplomatic intrigue has lately been crushed ia the bud fronm the action of the same retributive poverty. The Duke of San Carlos, it appears, is well received at the Court of the Tuilerics, because he gives the French Ca- binet no trouble; and he displeases to the same extent the Court of ilfadrid, because he remains inactive. A successor was therefore resolved on; but it was necessary at first to involve the design in mystery, lest San Carlos and the French MIinistry should defeat it. A Senor (with a strange name)-a Senor Revillaye- gido accordingly received orders to prepare himsel" for a mission to Paris, where, if possible, he was to appear in thehotel of the Spanish Embassy as unexpectedly and as suddenly as Asneodeas from the glass bottle. He could not, however, travel througlh the air like this spirit. It was necessary that he should keep the high road, and have cash to pay for his dinner and post horses: it was necessary to be able to lull the French spies, or to bribe the French police- - fore enim tutum iter etpatens Converso in pretium Deo." But where was this money to be found ? In loaking about for ex- pedients, the affair got wind; and Talaru, the French Ambassador at Miadrid, telegraphed it to Paris. It was too late for iNl. de Chateau- briard to prevent the departure of Revillayegido; but it was not too late to prevent his coniing to disturb San Carlos in his hotei. An order was accordingly immediately despatched to Bayonne to refuse Iiri post-horses. Before tl:e order arrived, he had gnt to Bordeaux, and h2d nearly altogether escaped the vigilance of the Government agents, by the modesty of his equipage, the smallness of his suitc,and his economical mode of travelling. Probably no Ambassador was ever so self-denied before. WVe remember aboy at school giving the following clacsical translation of these words-ecrsar venit in Galaiamn szmnzr dili,e'ntti-" C&nar came into Gaul on thc top of the Diligenre." Now, Senor Rivellavegido took nearly this mode of travelline. fle came to Gaul, 'not '- on the top," but in the interior of the Diligence, He was, however, found out, and was placed under arrest at Bordeaux till further orders. He is even kept confined in his chamber at the small inn where this said Diligence deposited its passengers, lest he should get out into the 7dltra coteries and excite scandal. There is no doubt entertained at Paris that this envov of his Catholic Mlajesty will be again packed up in the same vehicle, and re-imported into Spain. PBI?DINAID AND ITIS AMBASSADOR.
