Itichard IL. ITildr, F.vq. a distinguivhrd mem

committee in his state on the subject of NuIIifics
t*oii, given hit views at some Imigth, and with a
candour and temper worthy of all praise. lie
considers “nullification, as a proposed reined)

practice.” lie truly remarks, “ tint it was Sou

*• Am I asked, when did reason and justice
compter interest and prejudice : | point to all
the triumphs of Tnmi and Ttsit. To a te.
form in the English reformation, restoring ei
v:l privileges to a persecuted sect—to such
on extension of tho elective franchise, a
Chatham dared not meditate, and Fox could
uot accomplish. To revolutions less bloody,
and codes le»s barbarous— to the liberty of
the press—to our own institutions, the hope
and admiration of all that ls liber.il in Chris
tendom—in a word, to the extended and ex
tending empire of opinion.
We have heard, to l*e sure, that a total,
immediate, unconditional abandonment of the
principle of protection, is our rigkf; that we
ask nothing more; will take nothing less;
and must uot stoop to tuy justice. These are
lofty and captivating sentiment*; yet a doubt
may be indulged, whether they an> practical.
Juitier is u rnro commodify, even among

the law's delay, the insolence—and what to
*ou»c is worse, the /«#» of olhee.

T’Ae Tithe Quntian in Ireland —The late
discussion in the Hritiah Parliament, on the
I condition of Ireland, in reference to the
Tithe System, has brought forth some do
i tailed statements of the real nature and pres
sure of that system upon the penple of that
country, which we do not recollect to have
met with before. The census book com
piled by the Catholic Association is the source
fiom which most of the facts are derived, end
jutlffing fions the extra* ta we have seen, a
more i,*rinjing, unjust, and indefensible ex
tort ion could scarcely be devtsed, by indi
vidual raahce and rapacity, than that hy
wliirh the substance of the whole Irish peo
pie is taken from them to support a religious
establishment, which doe* nut comprehend
much more than one tenth of the population
It msy be remarked that the census book of
'be Association is founded upon returns made
for every pans!) in the country, by the Catho
lic Clergymen, and that their correctness is
beyond dispute. We have selected a few nf
the facts which it gives, as specimens of the
operation of the system, and the injustice
and rnsnifest oppression which it rflecu IV*

A debate of some importance arose in the
House of Lords on the night of the 13th, be-j
tween the Duke of Wellington and Earl Grey, j
involving the relations between Great Britain ;
ami Portugal. The discussion arose upon tlie
Consolidated Funds Bill, and was unexpected
by the Premier.—1The Duke of Wellington
objected to some of the proposed reductions
ol the public expenditure—contending that!
the revenues of the next, must, as a conse
quence, be anticipated, to defray the expen
se* of the current year. He objected, also,
that the reductions, and the existing defi
ciency, would leave his Majesty’s Govern
ment withuut the means of meeting extraor
dinary emergencies that might occur. 'The
drift of the Duke seemed to be, that the pre
tent civil war in Portugal would very likely
involve Europe in another war. and he took
! occasion to animadvert with some severity
upon the course of the Ministry- upon that
subject. Earl Grey made a very satisfactory 1
reply.
A long conversation took place in the Com
mona on the 15lh, on the subject of the dis-!
francbiaement under Hie itew ftrfoim Bill
The Austrian Observer—-the ofheial Ga :

contradiction tn all the recent warlike rumors
of the Faria Af> suiter dtt Vhamhrta, founded
upon reported movements of large bodies of'
the allied troops towards the French bounda
ries. The Observer likewise denies peremp
torily the reports of other papers, of large
military preparations in the interior of the
German empire.

It would appear from tlie accounts from
Portugal, that Don Pedro’s Admiral had at
tacked the squadron of Miguel on the luih
anti 11th, and that though not successful at
first, he hoped when he had collected all hn
-.hips to give a good account of the enemy.— !
It will require a more decided sue eras on his
part to enable him to continue the blockade
of the two great rivers of Porttigj|, and if the
bio- Wade of Oporto is the object of Hie ex-1
pedition from the 1 agon, it would seem that
its purpose is temporarily aoci mphahrd.
On land, although lion Pedro's army is

it appears to he hemmed in at Oporto by *u

Some of Ibr leading English Journals call,
