May 11. I Nine Days Later from England. i We are indebted to the courtesy of Capt. i Waite, of the packet ship England, for London papers to the evening of April 18th inclusive. The England was hoarded oil’ Block island, on 1 Thursday, hy a pilot boat, and her letter hag and i passengers were put on hoard the steamboat i Rhode Island, arrived this morning. Captain i Waite bad the kindness to forward our papers in anticipation of his own arrival, through which i attention we received them early this morning. i The England has on hoard £150,000 for Prime Ward & King, attd £2OOO for K J Walk er fi Co. The ship Acadian, Jones, from Liverpool for this port, in relation to the safely of which fears were entertained, put into Madeira, on tire 24th iMarch, having thrown overboard three hundred ons of her cargo. The Athol, and Edinburgh, with the, Cold stream Guards on board, destined for Canada, sailed from Portsmouth on the Kith April. The latest Now York advices at London were oflhc 25th March, by the 8t Andrew, which ar rived oil’Holyhead on the 14th of April. The news by the St. Andrew was published in the London morning papers of the 17th. This news j included information of the final kick-up of thp “patriots” at Point.-a-Pelee Island, the capture 0! Sutherland, and his attempt to commit suicide. The Chronicle takes a very different view of Gen. Sco.t’s proceedings from that of Sir Francis Head, and compliments him thereon in the following words. When we reflect on the slate of things in America, we cannot help feeling that great praise is due to Gen. Scott, and the authorities of the union, for the exertions they have made to pre serve order under such very discouraging cir cumstances. The Chronicle, our leaders will remember, is the ministerial paper. We quote the following passage from its lead ing article, April 17, which treats at largo ol General Scott’s letter,Governor .Marcy’s message, and the general progress of events connected will) the frontier disturbances. Among our Canadian news will he found a letter from General Scott, to Colonel Hughes, commanding her Majesty’s forces on the Niagara frontier, dated the 29th of January, detailing the measures ho had taken, and which he in tended to take, to prevent the fitting out of hos tile expeditions from the territories of I he United Slates against the Canadas. The letter is writ, ten in a friendly spirit, and leaves no room for doubting his sincere wish that the neutral rela tions ot the two countries may he long maintain- . cd.” Even with the enlarged powers which ho 1 says he has received, and the new act. of Congress which he daily expected to received, General Scott’s task of “harmonizing all the authorities, civil and military, both of the general and slate governments,” in order to prevent American citi zens from committing acts of hostility against their neighbors, will be one of considerable dif ficulty. From a communication to the legisla ture of New York by Gov. Marcy, also under the head “Canada,” it appears that the stale arsenals, and they are pontpously called, which have been broken open, are not pfaces of strength 1 hut merely depots fur arms and munitions of War, that each of them has ever been without any guatd, and hitherto left in the charge of a single individual denominJ'ctl ci keeper, at a salary of J 25 per annum. The wonder ceases that these arsenals have every where boon plundered; and those who know anything of the United Slates, will as little wonder that no evidence has been obtained respecting the plunderers. 1 Wo have no Parliamentary proceedings to 1 note, the houses having adjourned for the Eas ter recess. Lord Durham was to leave town on the 21st, for Portsmouth thereto embark for Canada Mr O’Connel was at Dublin, agitating. He was to hold a meeting every day through the ’ week commencing on the 10th. He was getting I up a registration of till the liberal voters in Ire - land. r The coronation was becoming the ptincipal topic of discussion. The Queen, it sems, has determined that It shall be conducted on an eco nomical scale, and with a very considerable cur. tailment of what the Chronicle calls “the anti quat si absurdity and feudal nonsense” heretofore exhibited on such occasions. Among other items e of the pageantry, the appearance of the mail " clad.champion is to br dispensed with—whereat the Tory journals are in agonies of consterna tion. The expense is not to exceed that of Wil a liam the Fourth’s coronation, which was about c 25,000 pounds. That ol George IV. cost 255,000. r.

Portugal* The disturbances in this kingdom bad been brought to a close on the Olh of April. The Cortes had separated, having agreed upon a con stitution, to which lire Queen had sworn, and also the deputies, A general amnesty was proclaimed the next day, for all political ofifences since the VOlh of September, 1836, including a permission of re turn to all persons who have left the kingdom in consequence of such offences. The plate of the amnesty excepts parlies implicated in attempts at revolt got up liy the partisans of Don Miguel. The following is a sketch of (ho now constitu tion. In the new constitution the Queen has a veto upon the measures of the oilier branches of the legislature, and can also prorogue ami dissolve the chambers. The question whether tho Queen shall participate in the selection of senators will have to be decided upon by the next legislature. The Council of Stale, which existed under the charter, is not restored. The Queen confers ti tles of nobility, hut they carry with them no le gislative privileges. The upper chamber was a hereditary peerage under the charter; it is now nil elective senate, with the exception of llie Prince Hoynl, who alone sits in virtue of his rank at eighteen, and who is entitled to vote at twenty five. The otb. er senators are to bn elcc od by the same const!* tuency ns the members of the lower chamber, each district that returns four deputies returning two senators. They must be thirty live years of age, unci possess an income from real property of about £5OO a year, or if engaged in business, an income from that souree of £lOOO a year. They having attained a certain rank in the military or civil service also qualifies lor a senator. Thus marshals, admirals, and administrators general are qualified, with the exception that where an office or command is held in a particular district, the party holding it is disqualified for election in that district. Tho senators are elected for six years, and whenever a dissolution of the Legislature takes place, one half of the senators retire, hut are eli gible for re election. The attributes of the se nate, in judging of eases of high treason, Ac, arc similar to those ot theclmmherof peers under tho charter. The senn'ors receive no allowance for their legislative services. The lower chamber is elected for three years; the elections are direct, the country being divided into districts, electing from three to six members each, according to the population. The qualifi cation of deputies is the possession of an income of 400 miheis [£[()()] per annum. The deputies arc paid at the rate of about 15s. per day during, rbe session. The qualification of electors ia an income of 80 mrlrcis [.£2o] per annum, derived from any source, domestic servants only being excluded. Under the character it was 100 mil reis per annum. The restoration of tho veto and right of disso lution to and the return to two cham bers. ore the most prominent points of difference between the constitution of 1838 and that of 1820. Tho substitution of direct for indirect election, and ot an elective tor a hereditary upper chamber, are the principal points of difference between the constitution of 1838 and the charter of 1820. Whatever may ho the merits or defects of tho present constitution, it cannot he denied that if is what it was intended to ho, viz, ascltle mantjin lh,g nature of a compromise, between the partisans dr the charier and those of the constitu tion of 1830.

Coxstaxtixoit.k, March 28.—The military ardor which had so suddenly seized the Sultan, has gradually decreased, and he appears to have relinquished altogether his determination to at tack Mehemot Ali. All his laic warlike prepara., lions will probably end in the stationing of an army of observation on Pro confines of .Syria.— The entire of the Ottoman fleet is to be ready for set) cirly in April.

Seven thousand Circassians collected instantaneously, attacked the invaders, routed them completely, and obliged them to re embark with considerable loss. Egypt. Ai.kxaniiiua, March 18. The insurrection in Syria is daily growing more formidable. Immediately after the defeat of Sherif Pasha, Ibrahim Pasha wrote to his father, that if he did not hasten to forward reinforcements he would be unable to subdue the insurrection, or perhaps even to maintain himsclf in Syria.— Mehemct Ali accordingly sent oil*all the forces bn could spare in Egypt, and despatched a portion of his fleet to Candia, to take on hoard part of the garrison of that island. The levy of recruits basin the meantime been enforced throughout Egypt with unparalleled severity, barbarity, anil cruelly; but the result is far from being satisfactory to the Viceroy. SherifPasha returned to Damascus with the remains of his guard, and Ibrahim repaired in ali haste from Hamma to Aleppo for the purpose of suppressing a popular movement. Numerous executions restored for a moment an appearance of tranquility to those two cities, hut the discon tent continued unabated, and will, it is expected, break our with additional force when tho army marches hack to Harlan the principal seat of lire insurrection- Solyrnun Pasha (tho French Uol onel Scvcs) has taken the command of the Egyp tian army, by the express injunction of Mohernct Ali, and to tho discontent ot Ibrahim. The following are the remarks of Mr Graves, on motion to print the report of tho Dud Com mittee. His concluding remarks are highly impressive, and show how an honorable man may be driven into a controversy by public opinion. Mr. GRAVES rose and said: I have, Mr- Speaker, forborne thus far to participate iu (his debate, though, of all others, most interested in its issue. 1 have done so from considerations that will suggest themselves to every one of sen sibility. Nor do I now propf.se to enter into the discussion, but only to submit, very briefly, a few remarks explanatory of my position. Much has been said about a desire to suppress and withhold from the Public the testimony in this case. I am not for suppressing or withholding from the Public any portion of the testimony ta ken by the committee and reported to this House, i I am not only in favor of having that le-timony ; printed, and spread upon the records of this 1 House, but, as an net of justice, to me, 1 claim I that it be. printed and published to the world with ■ lie least possible delay, in order that il may disa buse mo from the unjusi prejudice which the re port of the majority of the committee is calcula ted to product,' whenever it is read without the evidence. 1, however, do object and protest most solemnly against having this report printed, and spread up on the records id’ this House; because it contains an unfair, partial, and garbled statement of die evidence, upon which is hypothecated a discep. live argument, calculated and intended to do great injustice to me in public estimation; and, if pla ced upon the journals of this House, there to re,, main ns long as llt is Government continues, it will do me gross,yea, cruel injustice, in the esti mation ol all such ns, in aftenime, may choose to look into it without perusing the volume of evidence appended to it. 1 hope the proposition to print and postpone the consideration of the report and evidence until Monday next will he rejected- and that, forthwith, the whole subject will he referred hack to the committee, with instructions to report hack to the House, with die least possible delay, die evidence indy. This can he done in n very few minutes; and, ns soon as it is done, 1 hope the House will, with the greatest possible despatch, have the tes timony printed. , Upon the coming in of the testimony, if the House should choose to hold me amenable, per * sonally, lor a supposed breach of its privileges, so tar iron) opposing or proposing to postpone the I proceedings which may he instituted to that end, 1 shall request, and, il I have the right to do so, I demand, immediate action. Whilst I should ho the Inst to do an act com ■ promoting the high privileges of (his House, I j would hog to submit to the consideration of gen tlemen, who deny that it would ho admissible to receive and prim die evidence, beyond the point at which il first appeared tliut members were im , plicated, whether, injustice to the meniheis that have been implicated,and in deference to the great anxiety in the, public mind to see the procoedm|l>B of this committee, the evidence taken and repor ted by t hem ought lint to lie punted and gUea to the Public, hut not to he used ns evidence in any proceeding which may he institu e l by the House , against any of its members. That the select committee, in strictness, had no right to prosecute the investigation of the subject, so far as related to members, beyond the point ul which it was ap parent that members ol this House were implica ted, cannot, 1 think, ho well questioned by such as have attended to this debate. Still 1 suppose this objection would he properly waived by those who are implicated. The privileges of die mem bers implicated arc equally the piivilogcs of the House, whose province it is to protect its ptivi leges in its own way. VV henever proceedings arc instituted against ms, I. shall claim all the rights which the Consti tution of my country and the rules of this House guaranty to me. 1 shall object to he tried by n committee holding its secret sessions in one of iho committee rooms of this Capitol. For, though I, at this day, might not suffer injustice, the lime may come when il would he quoted as a fatally clangorous precedent. Vos, sir, the time possibly may come when that high seal which you now j- occupy may he reached by another, predicating I his claims not upon high and towering genius, r lolly and unimpeachable patriotism, and cliques* , lionnhle integrity, hut upon low parly spirit; por ” Imps as the unscrupulous organ of a lawless ma . jorily, which accident may have thrown imu this Hall, and who, when i> became die purposes of Ids party to rid themselves of an obnoxious polii , tical opponent, or (o degrade him in public esti mation, would select, as his triers, a committee, a majority of them composed of such political ad versaries of the obnoxious member, us had shown the greatest avidity to visit their malignity upon him. Where ihert would he the boasted privilo. ges of this House; where the much boasted safe ty of the People’s Representatives, destined to the fate of a trial before such a committee, holding its secret sessions in one of the commutee rooms of this Capitol, overruling and excluding all , questions, without regard to rule or law, which might ho thought by them inexpedient ? Though 1 was notified ilitu I might ailcnd r and cross examine the witnesses, 1 supposed , the privilege was extended by the courtesy 3 of the committee to mo and to him who was • most closely connocled with the other party, - to enable us to see that no injustice was done 1 to either parly in the investigation ofllic sub ■ ject. I thought the committee was raised, ' so far us members were concerned, only to 1 investigate the subject, and report the facts 1 of the case to the 1 louse, in view of sotting right the ton thousand false reports that were ’ overspreading the country, and of furnishing j the basis of a law to prevent the recurrence I of such affairs. I never had any notice, or I entertained lire most remote apprehension, that the committee contemplated a proceed, mg against me, until the astounding fact was announ ed to me, that I had been arraigned, tried, and found guilty; and that a resolution j was to ho offered to the House to impose up. on me the heaviest punishment in us power to inflict —an expulsion from this House as unworthy to hold a scat here. When nil ’ tlicso.tliings were communicated to me, Mr. e Speaker,jmy surprise may he better imagined I loan expressed. * „ Deal out to nie equal handed justice, and „ I shail quietly submit, to whatever late may he ,t assigned mo by public opinion: a tribunal to ; whose behests, on the subject that has given c rise to this proceeding, not only the humble individual who now addresses you, hut the o greatest and best men that, have adorned the II annals of Jiritieh and American history in the f present age, hate been compelled to bow » in humble submission. 0 | Whenever it shall he the pleasure of this • House to arraign rnc, I shall claim my legal I’ and constitutional right of being tried by my y peers (ho members of this House, here in this e Hall, in open day, and in view of the assem bled public. I shall claim to confront all the witnesses called to testify against mo, mid 1 require them to testify before the members of tins House,who are my judges,and who should not only hear the testimony, but witness the >, manner and spirit in which it is delivered. ■ I should do injustice to myself were Ito y conclude with out saying that I was not con. u scions, at the time, that I had invaded the t privileges of this House. I thought I was especial v careful to preserve tln-m. i find, ho wever, that, being connected with a duel, r ' either r-' principal or second, when a mein s her is a principal, technically involves ail r ‘ nl ke in a breach of privilege.

It well i ay he called unjust, tyrannical and barbarous, a relic of your olden time—of Uato niiil and Feudal .1 legislation—a law made 01111 years ago, before England had a Colony, and when her sway was confined to her own I hand. A law, totally unlit for the present day—and dif fer ng as much from the spirit qf your present laws, as the feelings, minds, and pursuits of the men of that day dilfer liom those of this. It is a law, my lord, which would deprive you and every other person in tins numerous nssem. lily from emigrating to any country, where ren sons political or pecuniary might point out, and hind you to the. country, where hy the chance merely of circumstances you were horn, in letters as strong ns those which lieund the Saxon sort instill the farm of the Thane whose born Thrall ho was. I Is it possible, my lord, that at this advanced age of civilization, such u law would he enforced— a prerogative which the Crown of no other na tions hold over their born subjects, ami over which every enlightened being in the world—and parti, culm ly those residing in that enlightened llepuh* lie of which f am a citizen, will and ought to look upon with horror and detestation. 1 pr..tested on my trial, against the juriediction of this court. That I could not he guilly of I rea son, not being a subject of Great Hriiain, hut a citizen of the United States; and if 1 hud com mitted an olfcnco, it was one against the law of nations, and that I could not bo tried in this Pro vince, hut in England, or the country of which I was a citizen. It was admitted, my lord, by the Court, ‘dial I was a citizen of the United Slates, hut not less a subject, having been born in Ireland; that being born a subject, no act of mint! could tiniko me aught else. That (treat Urilain could, notwith' standing my citizenship,still hold mu as u subject.’ Such doctrines certainly places tlio naturalized citizens of the United States in a singular predi cament, obliged as they are to do military duly us wi ll as the native horn, without distinction. In event of war, if they were ordered to invade the llritish dominion, by refusing they would be punished by the one government for insubordina tion and cowardice, oi obeying, be punished by the oilier as traitors. A precedent was quoted hy the Attorney Ce noral, in the case of Eneas McDonald, which somewhat resembled mine. As your lordship remarked, lie was found guilly also, hut not exe cuted, and this happened ninety three years ago. Since that lime, what a change has taken place among nations, as among men! More liberal and extended views have been held, both by the Co venters and the governed—a new nation has sprung up from English colonists, with a popula tion <d' upwards of scvenlt en millions, one fourth of whom arc in the same situation as tnysell, ha, ving been horn under a monarchy, but who have since become citizens of a tree and independent Republic, whose Constitution was framed directly opposite to the law laid down by this court — ‘once a subject, always a subject! When tried, my Lord, I rested my defence on that ground. 1 did not cull evidence to prove, as I might have clone, that when pursuing my course from an American port, in an American schooner, and going to an American island, and in the regular channel and thoroughfare which all regular vessels take that pass and repass from the ports of the .Stales of New York, Ohio, Mi. ehignti, Illinois, and Wisconsin, I was fired upon in repealed vollies of musketry, by yoflr militia, Indians, and negroes, of Malden, and when drawn upon your shores by the inclemency of the wea ther, and rny men killed and wounded by the galling fire, of throe or four hundred concealed riflemen, I fired upon them in self defence, —this I would have proved,—and if your Lordship could remember, nearly all of which was admit ted by the very evidence brought against rne, — by my captors, as they styled themselves, —lltoy, even they, admitted the greater part. And now, my lord, after three months severe imprisonment, the greater part of which lime was passed in chains, I have been tried for “not ha - ving the fear of Uod iu toy heart, nor weighing the allegiaticr I owed her Majesty the Queen.” An allegiance which I did not consider myself to owe, and which 15 or Hi years before, 1 have so lemnly sworn, in open t’ourt, to renounce in the manner prescribed by the Constitution of the Uni ted Stoles. And what, my lord, was the verdict of the jury ? a conditional one. Their discriminating minds plainly perceived that I could not he the citizen of one country, and the subject of another; that both were incompatible, and they gave in their verdict, which to me seems a strange one—“lf I was a subject, I was (toll tv of Treason.” lam not a subject, therefore I am not guilty of Treason. I am free from saying, my lord, or of wish- I lug rnvsi If understood to say, that I have not done wrong, anti acted contrary to the laws ot my own country. Hut in extenuation of my olfcnce, I would slate to your lordship that in the middle of December last, there came to Detroit a vast number of men, who lied from this country—many of them were poor, hun gry and naked. They had fled from tiled homes and families, at a momenta notice.— They told the story' of their sufferings, and their wrongs. These stories were circulated by the press, and believed by all ; while your Magistrates, and others in authority on our frontier confirmed in tile minds of many, the same by their insulting ami overhearing con. duct towards some of our citizens, whom bus iness had induced to go over among them. Then came (he thrilling news of the cutting ; out of the steamboat Caroline at Schlosser, an '* indignity .committed on our national honor an insult on our national flag. Hetore that time, my lord, nothing was done by the citi zens of Michigan, nor was there anything in tended to be done, but contributing to the comfort of the unfortunate men who were said to he.sufferers in the same cause like the fathers of our own revolution of'76. Reports were also ch'etiTatcd by persons residing in Sandwich and M ddcu, that they were raising the Indians ami refugee negro slaves residing there, to hum Detroit and other places that had afforded an asylum to those whom they called rebels. excitement then pervaded every mind, and I, my lord, in eimmum with others, in an evil time, rushed headlong in committing a breach of the constitution of my own country, and for which I am amenable to her own laws. To you, my lord, whom both parlies ac knowledge to be a Immune man and upright judge, the melancholy task of pronouncing the sentence of Death, in any case, must he a ’ painful one ; how much more so must it he in this instance—here no atrocious acts were committed, no murder nor arson ; hut men who, through the misrepresentations of others, ! and from the natural indignation arising from ■ the outrage committed on (heir’s and their Country’s Honor, and I ran say from the best and purest motives that could actuate the hu man heart, have been hurried into an excess • which a few men, to magnify their own prow ess have augmented into one of the most hor rible and atrocious acts of piracy. 1 I will not detain your lordship any longer, hut would request you, if consistent with your ’ duty as a judge, to favor me so far as to delay the final execution of your sentence sulficlent -1 ly long that time may he had to lav my case before the proper tribunal of the Home Cior -1 ernmont, and have your Sovrcigu’s pleasure ■I thereon IlAitn Tarns.—A passenger down stream i informs us, ‘pon honor, that. ulOiuciiinati and r Louisville the timers are are so hard (hat a man will prop himself against a wall and a hunt round his pockets for a quarter of ari . hour fi r“a lo’dr pence”—and not tied it, at. 1 Inst. “The times,” says lie, "is really sere v d liatin«j.”—.V, ().
