It may. there fore, be considered as fixed that Parliament will then proceed to public business; and a; the providing a suitable settlement forehe QUEEN Cower of ENo- LAND, with a Royal residence due .to he,‘ high multi was one of the principal points deferred till that period should arrive, we may expect that this topic will occupy very early attention. Indeed it will hardly be possible for Ministers, whatever may be their wishes, to put this subject in the back ground ; for, as our Readers will recollect, when the . House of Commons was last assembled, Mr. DENMAN held in his hand a Message from her MAJESTY, which was prevented from coming into discussion only by the previously-concerted plan to bring the Message, commanding the attendance of the Commons in the Upper House, for the purpose of prorogation. But no similar manoeuvre can now be resorted to, for the public business must now go on ; and this will, in the regular course, be one of the first subjects of discussion. But what will be the general conduct of Ministers on the topic of the QuEsN's rights ? This is a ques tion in every person's mouth ; and the answers are various and contradictory. We know, however, that some who possess, or at least boast that they possess the confidence of Ministers, assert that the latter do not mean to propose any new measures against her MAJESTY-" . if their enemies will only let them alone.* We need not add, that in the term " enemies" are included not only those whom they have ever consi dered as their political adversaries, but all who have disapproved of their measures against that perse cuted individual! What an host ! Ninety-nine out of every hundred of the whole population of the empire! And do Ministers really think it possible after all that has taken place—after their adhe rents have used every dirty artifice to mark out every individual of this immense majority as disaf fected and disloyal men, that the parley they may sound, in the pangs of discomfiture, will be listened to for a single moment ? Have they yet to learn that a nation, as such, cannot be disloyal—that it is a moral and physical impossibility—and that those, and those only, who oppose the general will, are or can be the disloyal men? But there is another rumour in circulation, which we cannot avoid noticing. Our Readers will recollect our-stating, some time ago, that it was at one time intended to originate the proceedings against the QUEEN of Grams IV. in Hanover, and then to pre sent the Record of Conviction to the British Parlia ment ! but that, after some consideration, Ministers became convinced that a British Parliament would not receive a document of this kind from any Ger man Court in existence, as evidence to be acted upon in this country ; and, in consequence, they ventured upon those proceedings which we have all witnessed. But now it is said, that the Ministers of the Court of Hanover are going to commence proceedings against the Queen of Hanover! We know not what mad projects some men may countenance, but if our MI misters have any regard left for their own character, or for the real interests of this Country, they must feel themselves bound to advise Ilse King of England to have nothing to do with such proceedings. Hanover may, to be sure, as an independent State, venture to offer an insult to England. The interests of the two countries are perfectly distinct; nor can the acts of the one at all bind or implicate the other. Of this the revolutionary war produced a remark able example—Hanover made peace with France, and remained for a time in a state of amity with that country, while England continued at war with France, and, with little intermission, continued hostilities, till she conquered a peace for Europe. Hanover, indeed! Hanover institute proceedings against the Queen of E%GLAND i—" Fire pop-guns at the Sun, and riddle him with holes!" At several Wardmotes held yesterday, partktilarly that for Farringdon Within, we observe that Resolu• tions were almost unanimously passed, censuring the proceedings of those who got up the " Lard Ad dresses" in those Wards, and defending the Wards from the imputation of disloyalty which such pro. cecdings virtually conveyed. As many have been aggrieved in a similar way, this example will be doubtless followed, and though not before the Throne, yet, in the eyes of the People, this contemptible sy stem will be exposed and universally scouted. EAST INDIES. PROM OUR CORRtSPORVINT. MADRAS, MAY So; ISO. The Thomas Coons, Indiaman, is daily expected at Madras, with the new Governor, Sir TROAIAS Mtmaot, on board, from England. On the 4th of May, his Majesty's ship LEANDEP. 60 guns, Captain RICRARIMON, *bearing the flsg of Rear-Admiral Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD, arrived at Trincomalee, Ceylon, from Portsmouth, which place she left the 6th January. • Considerable undertakings and improvements are going forward in the Island of Ceylon, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel WRIGHT, of, the Royal Engineers, and an immense number of new roads have been formed throughout the country. — Several canals are in progress to faCilitate the inland navigation, and ocher works of that description, which had been commenced by the Dutch, as well as many others entirely new, are expected to be shortly completed, which will add much to the im portance of the Island. Two Companies of the Royal Artillery are ex pected shortly to arrive at Ceylon, to relieve the t wo now t here, and_ which have been in that Island for a considerable length of time. The above two Com nies ate said to be on board the Colombo, free trader; and which was to sail the middle of January- Another heavy gale occnrred at Madras on the Bth of May, &Wog which considerable damage was done to the town aad shipping : several vessels were wrecked, and every ship in the Roads diiven to sea. The ship Atlas, one of the vessels driven opt of the Roads, was wrecked off Pulicat on the 10th. - A Flanders Mail arrived last night, with Papers to the 20th instant. The second Chamber of the. States-general, which is no* assembled, was engaged, in its public sitting of the 16th, in the important discussion of three Pro jects of Law relative to the Finances. Great interest was excited by this debate, and the galleries were crowded. His Royal Highness the Prince of Oztabipa was present. After an animated and eloquent debate; the Minister of Finance rose to reply to all the object tions made by various speakers to the three Projects of Law, which being put to the vote, severally were carried, viz. . . 1. One relative to the Receipt and Expenditure, br 0 votes to ss. 1. Another on the Ways and Means, by 60 to S 9; and 3. Relative to a Loan of Eight Millions, by 73 to 26. It is to be remarked that, on this memorable occa• sion, no Member spoke Dutch ; the Minister also spoke French. The following article, relative to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, is quoted from the Austria* Observer. We need scarcely remind our Readers with what re serve anything from the Austrian Capital, on the subject of Neapolitan affairs, mast Ile received: " According to advices from Naples, dated the 22d ult. the Government has keen compelled, by the embarrassed state of its finances, to suspend the extra pay which it had granted to the troops. This mea sure was soon followed by consequences which it was easy to anticipate. The 12th. Regiment of Infantry manifested its dissatisfaction by acts of insubordina tion. Several of the men resolvel to quit their co lours, and return to their homes; and it was found expedient to send 'this Regiment to the Province of Abruzzo. On their route thither they committed fresh excesses, and an Officer was shot by his own men at Zeano. It appears, that the Authorities have been hitherto successful in preventing mere serious commotions, which the spirit and example of this Regiment might have led to. The recruits, how ever, refused to march to the appointed rendezvous; and some of them were seen by travellers, on the road between Ilri and Fondi, escorted to their several corps handcuffed. Confusion and anarchy continue to make fearful progress, even in the town of Naples. Pillage, mur der, insubordination, and want of respect to the Au thorities, are more than ever the order of the day.— No one can pass in the•streets by night, without ex posing his life. The Carbonari continue to exercise boundless influence. They openly defy the Govern ment and Parliament: the Members of both have their poniards to fear, if they attempt to resist their will. 3'l. Zurlo, Minister of the Interior, is under in dictment, because he has been charged by them with having infringed an article of the Constitution:' Madrid Papers to the 9th inst. have arrived. There exists in Spain an active party, anxious for the resto ration of the ancient form of Government; but the spirit of the great body of the People, encouraged by the unequivocal feeling of the Government, is 'so decidedly hostile to their attempts, that no fears need be entertained for the stability of the present system. We find, however, that the discontented occasionally assemble in different parts of the Pe ninsula, in small companies of about twenty or thirty armed men, but they mix up depredation se much with politics, that it is not always easy to distinguish the insurgents from the banditti...—. A Madrid paper of the Bth, states, that on the pre ceding evening a courier had arrived from Burgos, bringing intelligence of an alarming nature. The Provincial Deputation of Barcelona addressed a very violent remonstrance to the King, complaining in angry terms of the impunity enjoyed by the enemies of tie Constitution. si Inveterate enemies," say the Deputation, " whose numbers are increasing daily, and whp drew from the Clergy the desire and the meani s to diatorb the public peace.' - The influence of the Clergy over the publis tnipd of Spain cannot be doubted, and their activity, which never slumbers when the interests of their order are concerned, will now be stimulated by the desire of revenging their personal wrongs, and acquiring the re possession of their immense wealth. They unite with their own cause an affected zeal for the Monarchy and the Church, and lend to their private purposes the sanction of names which seldom fail in their union to excite the warmest feelings of the people. A Decree has been issued by the KING, with the sanction of the Permanent Deputatien of the Cortes, to the following effect:— " All proprietors of foreign cotton goods, now in the warehouses in the Peninsula, ate required to make declaration thereof to the Customs Authorities, within fifteen days from the 16th of December df the present year. These goods will then be stamped, and deposited where the said Authorities shall ap point, until exportation. Such as shall not be de clared within fifteen days will be confiscated for the benefit of the Nation. Four months are granted to the proprietors to export them to foreign States, or to the Spanish Colonies, where they may be sold. After the delay granted, such as are not exported will be peremptorily confiscated." WINDSOR, DECEMBER 20. Tuesday . afternoon, her Royal Highness the Du chess of GLouces . rea arrived at Frogmere, from Bagshot Park, on a visit to the Princess AUGUSTA. His MAJESTY arrived in the evening, in his travel ling carriage, escorted by a party of Light Horse, with outriderk, as usual. The Km° came to meet the Duchess of GLOLICESTZR, also on a visit to the Princess AUGUSTA. Thismorning his MAJESTY rode ont, having every appearance of the enjoyment of most excellent health. The KING was accompanied by the Duchess of GLOU CESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA. The Royal Party proceeded through Windsor Park to his MAJESTY'S cottage, and inspected the improvements and the al terations which are making there. The KING,. the Duchess, and the PrincessAnotisTA, returned to Frog more to dinner. The amiable and much-belovel Duchess of an , nem* and her infant Princess, are improving daily. The following was the answer given yesterday to the inquiries :—" Her Royal Highness the Duchess of CLARENCE, and the infant Princess ELIZABILTIT, are goin; on as well - as can be expected." His MAJESTY returned the following Answer to the Loyal Address from the University of Oxford : " I thank you for your loyal and dutiful Address. This de claration of your principles, and of the feelings with which you are impressed, at the present important conjuncture, is not less honourable to yes, than satisfactory to myself. It is by sack manifestations of loyalty and public spirit, combined with a strict execution of the laws, that an effectual chock will be given to the efforts of those who labour with unceasing industry to cor rupt, inflame, and pervert the minds of my faithful subjects, to deprive them of the salutary restraints, and the consolations of Religion, and to subvert all those Establishments, and Institu tions, which have so long been regarded with affectionate vase ration in this country, and with admiration throughout the world. In the exercise of the great trust committed to my charge, I shall be invariably actuated by the deepest conviction, that the true interests of my Crown, are inseparably united with those of my People ; and I am fully persuaded, that in your several sta tions, is will be your chief object and constant endeavour to afford to your country the best and surest means of permanent tranquillity and prosperity, by encouraging and inculcating a profound reverence for our Holy Religion, a zealous attachment to our invaluable Constitution, and a arts determination to transmit it unimpaired to our latest descendants." A Loyal Address to his MAJESTY, lying for signa ture at Carlisle, speaks largely of the necessity of upholding the cause of Christianity. Does it not imply that Christianity has been lately most dread fully libelled ? If so, in what manner was it libelled but by the unchristian proceedings against the Queen ? A correspondent in Skye writes, , 4 that on the aban donment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties against her MAJESTY having reached the Island, bonfires were lighted on the tops of many of the highest mountains, and rejoicing was very general throughout the Island. The principal operations were conducted by signals given by flags displayed from the turrets of the resi dence of one of - the oldest families ; and one whose attachment to the Constitution is not exceeded by that of any subject in the Realm.' The French Papets are pleased to rank among the fruits of the Queen's prosecution, the failure of Mr. . BALrotrn, in his contest for the Representation of Berwick. They say he lost his election because he was the son-in-law of Lord LALIDERDALL MI. VANDENHOWS performance of Carlo:anus, at Covent-Garden Theatre, last night, was hailed with the most unqualified approbation of a numerous au dience : Mr. VANDENHOPE may now be said to have fully established his claim to the first rank of his profession. It is reported that the Lyceum will open, for a short winter campaign, with some very outri enter tainments. We have heard that the performance is to be divided into three parp, each part bearing a distinct and strong feature of Novelty. Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of MONTROSE entertained, at their house in Grosvenor-square, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of MOUNTEDGECUIME, Sir WILLIAM SCOTT, Sir WILLIAM GRANT, the Hon. Mr. HENRY CLIVE, Mrs. HENRY CLIVE, the Mar quis of GRAHAM, and a large party of distinguished 'I personages. By the American ship Restitution, in ninety-five days from Batavia, intelligencer has been received of the total failure of the Dutch -expedition against Palembang. This account, however, is only verbal, resting on the sole authority of the Captain of the American vessel, and is accompanied with no details. It is merely stated that the Sultan of Palembang car ries matters with so high a tone, that on proclamation being made by the Commander of the Dutch forces, offering a reward of 100,000 dollars for the head of the Sultan, that Monarch immediately adopted a si milar mode of proceeding, and offered a reward, double in amount, for the head of the Dutch Gene sal. The voyage made by the. Restitution lags been extremely quick, that vessel having left Batavia op the 20th of September ; and the iritclligeate is gene-, rally credited. THE AMY.

His Britannic Majesty's ship Cnzot.z, which left Lisbon on the 10th September, with the news of the Oporto Revolution, arrived at Rio on the 18th Pc tober; and the preceding day a Portuguelse brig, also from Lisbon, reached the pi:in, having sailed a few days previous to the Carrots. The news being thus fully confirmed, had created a lively sensation in the Brazil capital—the first effect of which was, a rise in the produce of the country, as well as in the freights of British vessels. No hostile measure had been taken against the property of the inhabit ants of Portugal, nor was anything of the kind ap prehended. Several Councils of State had been held, in which there was a great diversity of opinions The acting Minister, Count dos Alms, was of opi nion that the Constitutional System, proclaimed in Portugal, ought not only to be approved, but also extended to, and adopted in, the Brazilian domi nions. VILLA NOVA PORTUGAL, another Minister, was of a quite contrary opinion, and conceived that the arrival of Lord BERESEORD in the Tagus would suffice to put down the Revolution. The celebrated Thezeureiro Itfor, TARGINI, agreed with his friend VILLA NOVA; and hoped that a work he had lateltt published, against Constitutional Doctrines and Thrones, would also have great influence in destroy ing the " baneful" contagion that had begun to spread in Portugal. Some rumours stated, that the CROWN PRINCE would be sent over to Portugal; and others, that the Infante Don Mtauat. would be chosen for this mission. Finally, it was the general opinion that the Government would take no direct means to counteract the Revolution in Oporto, and it was too early for the Lisbon events to have crossed the Atlantic. The Chili squadron, under Lord Cocnimiz, *led from Valparaiso on the 21st August, consisting of nine armed vessels and thirteen transports, having ,on board 4,000 men, commanded by General SAN MARTIN. On the same day, Director O'Hiconis issued a Proclamation, declaring the coast of Feru in a state of blockade, from Point St. Helena to Igusque, and allowing seven months for vessels com ing from Europe and the United States, five for those from• Brazils, and three from the River Plate. The packet which conveyed the news from Eng land to Pernambuco reached Bahia in sixty hour., It is evident, from the reports already received from the three principal, points of the Brazils; that the people there rejoice at what has taken place in the mother country-,indeed, they are. anxious to better their own political condition. • Since the fashion of Curling the Hair hos begiVe so general both to Ladies and Gentleineu,kmAy not be amiss.to point out its danger in destsnylog that oniament—a Ise Had of Hair.
