We mentioned yes-, tcrday that a Message from the QUEEN would be offered to Parliament and also intimated our belief that its reception would be evaded by the measures determined on by Ministers. Mr. DENMAN made an effort to present it to the Commons, by intimating that he held in his hand a Message, which he was commanded by her MAJESTY to present to the House ; but his object was frustrated by the instan taneous arrival of the Black Rod. An attempt was znatle by some Members to prevent this fresh insult to Majesty, but it was vain ; for the business pro ceeded precisely as the third or fourth Act of a con tested new Play is sometimes mouthed by the per formers, without any one being able to hear dis tinctly what the actors are saying; and the Proro gation took place to the ‘23d of January next. The following is the Message which Mr. DENMAN requested leave to read to the House: " CAROUSE R. " The Quent thinks it proper to inform the House of Com mons, that she has received a communication from the Kiwo's Ministers, plainly intimating an intention to Prorogue the Par liament immediately, and accompanied by an offer of money for her support, and for providing her with a residence, until a new Session may be holden. " This offer the QCLEN has no hesitation in refusing. While the late extraordinary proceedings were pending, it might be fit for her to accept the advances made for her temporary accom modation; but she naturally expected that the failure of that unparalleled attempt to degrade the Royal Family would be inunediattly followed by submitting some permanent measure to the wisdom of Parliament ; and she has felt that she could no longer, with propriety, receive from the Ministers, what she is well assured the liberality of the House of Commons would have granted, as alike essential to the dignity of the Throne, and demanded by the plainest principles of justice. " If the QUEXN is to understand that new proceedings are I meditated against her, she throws herself with unabated con fidence on the Representatives of the People, fully relying on their justice and wisdom, to take effectual steps to protect her from the farther vexation of unnecessary delay, and to provide that these unexampled persecutions may at length be brought to a close." We cannot at this moment recollect anything in English history precisely parallel to the proceedings of yesterday. It would be vain to look for anything analogous since the period of the Revolution. 'We find, indeed, in the reign of CHARLES I. the follow ing occurrence : Roues, a Member of the Muse orCommons, had his goods seized, in consequence of refusing to pay the duties of tonnage and poundage, which the El xo insisted upon hating a right to levy without the consent of Parliaments A motion was made to this effects" That the seizure of ROLLES'S goods was a breach a 'privilege." The SPEAKER would not put the question, for " the Kum had commanded the continua," The speech of SELDEN is worthy of in sertion. " Direopnnot, Mr. Speaker, put the ques tion when we commatilitw ? If you will not put it, we must sit still : thns, 44. ah all never be able to do anything. They that come after you, may say they have the King's command not to do it. We sit here by command of the King under the Great Seal ; and you are, by his Majesty, sitting in his royal Chair before both Houses, appointed for our Speaker, and now you refuse to do your office." It may, perhaps, amuse our Readers to mark the conduct of the House on this extraordinary occasion. The SPEAKER persisted in his refusal, and the House, in some con fusion, adjourned. When it met again, the former requisition was repeated to the SPEAKER, who again declined compliance, and said, " he had a command to adjourn the House," but, as he was quitting the Chair, some Members forcibly held him in, while others locked the door; in the meantime a protesta tion ready drawn was voted, purporting, 44 That ; whoever should bring m innovation of religion, Po.' pery or Arminianism, or should advise the taking of tonnage and poundage, not granted by Parliament, or should pay the same, should be accounted ene mies to the kingdom." In consequence of this, war rants were immediately after issued for apprehend- ing a number of the Members, and, among others, SEI.DEN, They were committed to the Tower for ." sedition and contempt the Attorney-General, lils:terit, laid an information against them in the Star chamber, LITTLETON pleaded for their being ad- tnitted to bail, and the Judges wrote to the KING, humbly requesting his advice, as, by their oaths, they were obliged to bail the prisoners. Delays l were interposed ; they were treated with all pos. Aible severity, and the matter was put off to the close of the Term, when they were remanded to confinement, on account, as the King affirmed, of their insolent carriage at the Bar. That is, they claimed, with the spirit of freemen, what they knew to be their right. With such contempt of law and justice did the Court pursue its arbitrary and vin dictive schemes, and so blindly did it rush into con- tests with a power daily increasing in that strength from public opinion, which is the sole support of all political power not protected by a miiitary force. We need not remind our Readers what calamities this blind and obstinate conduct of the Court brought ultifnately upon the King himself; and upon the Country. Let us hope that the present generation may learn a little wisdom from the errors of those who have gone before tl4m. Parliament, it will he Observed, was, after a Ses sion of unexampled fatigue, dismissed without the usual Speech from the Throne. The only instance of such an unceremonious dismissal, since the time of CHARLES the Second, was the Prorogation which took place when Lord TnuaLow was Chancellor, on the 27th October, 1785. It will also be observed, that the QUEEN had before intimated to Ministers that she would not submit to receive alms at their discretion in place of a regular provision ; and it was well enough known that this was to form the topic of her MaJEsTr's Message ; but mark the tresoment she has experienced. It is notorious that the House was to have been kept sitting, if there had been a chance of its prose cuting the Bill of Pains and Penalties to the issue, of mining her MAJESTY. This intention was po- 1 sitively announced by Lord CASTLEREA4II. But, when her MAJESTY looks for relief to the House, from insult, dependence, and oppression, that relief is snatched away from her by a sudden. and tempos-' tuous Prorogation. The I louse, therefore, was to sit months for her destruction, but not to wait even a few minutes to hear her just complaints! Well might Mr. BENNETT exclaim, " This is a scandal to the country !" for never (in our opinion) was a grosser one offered to the nation at large. Our political horizon, we are sorry to say, begins to be overcast in respect to our foreign relations. We have for some time heard a few fools saying, " Let us have a war, or a foreign turmoil of any kind, to occupy the public attention, and put a termination to domestic bickerings." Fools only would ever think of a general conflagration as a desirable me thod of getting themselves warmed in a cold day ; but it seems there are such men in the world. Letters from Naples state (and we sincerely wish we could say, that the statement cannot possibly be true), that the British Minister, Sir Wm. A'Counr, has invited the Kum to retire on board the English Admiral's ship, with his family; and has pledged himself for his safety, if he should think proper to take that step.—Can this possibly be true ? It is known, that for some time we have had a fleet in the bay of Naples; and it has been stated in certain. Prints, that it would remain there " until the determination of the Sovereigns at Troppau should be made known." Are we then to embark again in a war against the liberties of mankind? Have we learnt nothing from the dear-bought lessons afforded by the late war? Have the Legitimates forgotten the fate they brought upon Louts XVI. and his family, by advising that Monarch to seek refuge elsewhere than among his own subjects? Alas for the King of NAPLES, should he be led to listen to such insidious advice !—alas for the hu man race! how many the victims that may suffer from such folly !—how many the widows and orphans that may yet wail the blindness and infatuation of those who have power to lead forth men to slay their fel low men! But woe to those who may again kindle up the flames of war in such an unjust and unholy enterprize against the rights of independent nations ! It requires not the spirit of prophecy to foretel the re sult. Talk indeed of " revolutionists and anarchists !" Who are they ? Where are they ? The principal promoters of revolution have hitherto been the men who have made most rfoise - and clamour against everything which they choose to 6all innovation.— Time s; ill not stand still for them, nkr can the course of events be impeded. 13ut how mad the men who hasten on the crisis of violence by their obstinate efforts to change the order and course of the moral world. The American report of a Revolution in Pernam buco, founded on accounts from that quarter of the 2d of September, is totally without foundation. Letters to the 12th had previously reached this country, and yesterday a fresh arrival brought others, dated the 21st of September, all of which are entirely silent on the subject. It is incredible what un founded and preposterous accounts find their way into the American Papers. By ad vices from Trincomalee, dated May 30, ii, appears that an insurrection had broken out in the interior of Ceylon, originating in the desertion of some Malays, who had joined with a body of Can dians. They had intercepted the Tappan], and killed the bearers. To stop the progress of the in surrection, a detachment of the 73d Regiment, under the command of Captain Omni, had gone in pursuit of the rebels. Subsequent advices, however, re ceived at Madras, state that the leader of the rebels had been seized and brought in by the Natives, and that tranquillity had iq consequence been re-esta blished in the Island. PARIS, NOVEMRER 26. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. " We are delighted here that the scandalous trial of the QUEEN is over ; for, whether she be guilty or innocent, there is but one opinion of the policy of i such a procedure. The KING of FRANCE declares it has been more injurious to Royalty than the French Revolution ; and the English are preparing a grand dinner, to be given at Grignon's to-morrow, in ho nour of its being abandoned. " M. ETIENNE, the editor and joint proprietor of The Constitutionnel, is elected Deputy : we hope he will be moderate; be has great talents, and will hare plenty of opportunities of bringing them forth. The majority of Members, however, are ultra in this Election. Grand preparations are making for the baptism of. the Duke of BOURDEAUN. The rumour is still afloat that M. DECAZES will be recalled to oc cupy a place in his MAitsry's Counsels." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

It is stated, that a courier has been dispatched to Naples with the final decision of the Cabinet. CASSEL, NOVE,NIBER 9. It is well known that the Elector has prohibited the Journalists of Hesse, upon pain of being fined and forfeiting their licenses, from inserting any articles relative to Spain, the Two Sicilies, and Portugal. He has extended this prohibition to all articles con taining Reports of the Trial of Queen Caroline of Eng land, and in,Which there are expressions calculated to violate the respect due to persons of elevated rank. Hitherto a Commissary of Police had exercised the functions of Censor of the Political Journal of Cassel, but be had frequently suffered articles to pass which had not had the approbation of the Sovereign. It is now affirmed, that the ElectOr has just taken upon himself the Censorship of ou Gazette. Mr. Rivalier, one of his Councillors, is ob iged daily to read the proof sheet to his Royal Hi mess, who decides on those articles which shall recei6 the imprimatur, ;and those which arc to be modified or suppressed. • THE QUEEI‘;`.

Yesterday, a Meeting of the Committee appointed to superintend the arrangements for the reception cf the QUEEN at St. Paul's Cathedral, took place at Ft.

Mr. Serjeant BURTON has been appointed one cf the Judges of the court of King's Bench in Ireland. The woollen manufactures in most parts of York shire are rapidly improving, and in some of them the workmen are fully employed ; an advance in wool has consequently taken place in that Counts-, of five shillings a pack s , and a further advance is ex. pected from the increased demand. The LITERARY GAZETTE of Saturday (No. 201) will contain a Chart of the Polar Discoveries, and interesting particulars of that Expedition; the Plot, Characters, &c. of Lord Byron's Tragedy of Finnic re; Review of Chevalier Johnstone 's Memoirs of the Rebellion of 1745, of the great French National Work on Egypt, of Luccock s Notes on Brazil, of Mrs. Stothard's Tour in Brittany, &c. &c.

A letter from Berlin, dated November 5, saysa " As in the present agitation of the public mind i many pretended politicians take a mite for an ele. pliant, In the same manner contradictions have been put upon the circumstance that the departure of our King for Troppau has been twice delayed, but the reasons assigned are such as to carry with them their own refutation. (Hit Majesty's indisposition alore paused the delay, and he in fact left Berlin as soon .is he was able to travel.) There is no foundation for the reports of the speedy release of Messrs. Mulrle;:- fels and Tollenius. But on the contrary, it seems certain, that at the desire of the Contract Commit tee at Mentz, a new process is commenced against them both, sad that the same cause has induced the institution of formal inquiry against the three Professors, Mr. Brown, Mr. Arndt, and the brother Wetker—which will probably lead to their tempo rary suspension. By the researches into the revolu tionary intrigues in Germany, it is said to have been discovered what passed at the Assembly of the Ger man Youth on the \Vartzburg, that is, what subjects they discussed, and it is proved by documents that they were entirely political. The pamphlet in manu script from the South of Germany, which has tQcn lately circulated in Germany; is ptikbibited from t 1 whole Pruseiwn Monarchy."
