, The debates in ioth Houseilast night wer
important, in the house of Lords the Marquis
of Buckingham brought forward his motion re
lative thestate of Ireland. M oderation,
anxiety for the welfare of Ireland, and a desire
to adopt any measures calculated really to do
good to that part or the empire, were the prom
inent features of the debate. The Catholick
Question was, in most of lh speeches, consid
ered as it always ought to have been, a minor
grievance, the removal of which would do no
thing towards the melioration of the condition
of the Irish people " After all, the iifiprove
ment of the situation of the Irish depends, as
we have invariably maintained, less upon any
government than upon the great landed propri
etors of the estates in Ireland. The Marquis
of Buckingham's motion was negatived, by a

An interesting report from the chamber of
commerce of Lyous, dated the 9th inst. gives
a view of tlie state of business in that city, in
January and February: it wilt be ihesce aeen,
that it had experienced a moment oj suspen
sion, which is explainable from the, (nllowing
causes. The Americans having, in 191 j, rais
ed tho price of silks by their numerous de
mands, and appearing to have overstocked ilieir
own market, i heir purchases were stopped. On
the other hand, the orders from Germany were
also suspended in the expectation of a1 tall of
prices. This fall took place in January, upon
which the buyers re-appeared; iTnd in Februa
ry the labours of the manufacturer, and the sale
of raw aud 'organize silk, began to be resumed.
The most important improvements have ta
ken place in the situation of the manufactures
of Aviguon- - The number of silk-looms in ac
tivity during the fourth quarter of 1815, sur
passed by more than 200 that of the preeedintr
quarter; thus furnishing employment to 700
workmen who were previously destitute, of it,

Rouen has also presented in February last, a

have appeared there ; our spun cottons have
been mueh in demand. Superior sales to those
ia January have taken place;. the same has
been the case as to linen yarn ; in short, duh'ny
the preceding mouth, , there has been an in
crease in the sales, to the amount of 2100 pie

Diese various details indicate, if not a state
of prosperity, at Jsast that return to commercial

JHorillo'tlllrmy.---By the vessels arrived from
the Main, the following particulars of the ope
rations of the expedition, uuder'the command
of Morillo, have transpired in spite of the
mystery in which the government conceals all
its operations.. "
" The city of. Carthagena having been occu-
(iied, he began to lit out the expedition destined
or the interior of Grenada; but, to war and
huuger, disease followed; the Carthagenian
troops under his command were attacked by the
small -pox, & the Europeans with the dysentery,
of which many died, although they were re
moved to Turbaco, which retarded much the
progress of the expedition. In the mean while,
accounts were received, that obliged hiin to
hasten his advance. In the month of January,
Brigadier Porras attacked Colonel Santander
a Republican Chief, in Ocane, but Was repulsed
with the loss of almost all bis troops, and was
obliged to- retreat to Santo-Martha. The se
cond in command of the Royalists, Capmani,
recruited his troops in Mommox, and returned
to attack Ocane, but with ho better success:
This obliged Morill t. lxk-tJtli rwotej and
to order that tbey should advauce to the South.
The risht wins of the fly ins army' of Moril

occupation of the North of 'Nechi, which opens
the entrance to the rich province ot Autiognia j
but on approaching the city of Zaragossa, the
