THE NATIONAL REGISTER LOIn:1011, SUNDAY, DECEMBER We last week made some observations on the regretted dissensions between the different classes of Reformers, and in c9nsequenee of those observations we have received a number of letters from some of each of the two partics, which arc termed Whigs and Radicals. The Whigs say, and truly no doubt, that they wished to have remained united with the Radicals in their attempts to obtain Reform, but that a certain document published by Mr. J. C. llobhouse's com mittee anathematized them generally, and forced them to prove that the contempt they were treated with was undeserved—that the influence they pos sessed had been under-rated, and therefore by that influence they returned Mr. Lamb member for Westminster, instead of Mr. Hobhousc, for whom many of them had previously canvassed. Those who have in derision been called Radicals say, that they were forced to oppose the Whigs by the atudied and unceasing application to them of terms of contempt by the Whigs in the House of Commons, and at all public meetings. We admit the error of both par- THE NATIONAL REGISTER tics, and we would say to them in the language of Gay, " Brother, brother, we arc both in the wrong," for so they are, anti so they will find it, we fear, too late : to prevent it, however, we would, with esteem fbr both parties, with the utmost anxiety timr Re form, under the most palect conviction that by an union only can it be obtained, we would submit the propriety of a meeting between a few of the leading characters of both parties—let each concede a little fbr their mutual benefit, let each forget for the pub lic good, the feelings of animosity which have unfor tunately been engendered, and let this meeting be the fore-runner of a general one of all the friends of Reform; let the reconciliation be publicly announced, let the supporters of corruption hear it in their dens, and they will tremble. We should feel more satisfitetion than words can express at such a re union—we should proudly feel inexpressible pleasure in the belief that we had been instrumental to " A consummation so devoutly to be wished." Now is the time, and if the meeting of Parliament be al lowed to take place before the meetings we have alluded to, time cause of Reform will sustain a serious injory—its first step will be postponed to a very far distant day. Meetings arc being held in many places for the purpose of voting " Loyal Addresses" to the King. Has his Majesty expressed a doubt of the general loyalty of his people, that this twice-told tale must be repeated in less than the first year of his reign ? or is the estimation of loyalty so totally different un der Geo IV. from what it was under his venerable father, that attachment to the Queen which in his father's reign would have been held as a certificate of loyalty to the throne and family, is held under the present King to be prima facie evidence of trea sonable inclination ? The fact is plainly thus—that an administration from whose measures every evil to which the country is liable (except civil war and re volution) has arisen, has set its myrmidons to work to confound time Constitution with the Cabinet, and to raise the war-hoop of disloyalty to the King, against all those whose loyalty to him, anti whose attach. ment to the Constitution of the Country is best prov,:d by tlwir condemnation of and opix,sition to the measures of the present Ministers—bat the attempt will prove abortive. Englishmen will not be the dupes of so shallow an artifice, they will preserve their reverence for the laws, while they execrate the mal-administration of them—they will persevere firmly, strenuously, but constitutionally, 'till they have achieved that which only can pro duce an entire change of measures—a change of MEN. We have received the French papers of Wednes day last. His Majesty left the Tuileries at one o'clock. A salute of 2l rounds of artillery an nounced the arrival of his Majesty at the Louvre. A deputation of the twelve of the Peers of France, with the Chancellor at their head, and a depu tation of twenty-five of the Departments, went to receive the King in the ball adjoining to the gal lery of Apollo. His Majesty, after stopping in his apartments and speaking some moments with the members of the deputation, entered the hall of the Sitting and seated himself on his throne. At the right of the King was Monsieur, at his left the Duke d'Angouleme. The Duke of Orleans was on the right of his Majesty near Monsieur, In front, and to the left of the King, was the Chan cellor of France. The assembly was standing and uncovered, the King said, " Let the Peers be seate d." The Chancellor of France made known to the Deputies, that his Majesty permitted them to sit down. Being seated, his Majesty pronounced the fullowingspeech " GENTLEMEN.

" The improvements of the revenues of the state, the economy which I have prescribed, and the tried solidity of credit, allow me to propose, even in this session, a new diminution of the taxes which are directly supported by the CO:11611111013.

Reiterated acclamations of " rive le Rui r were heard on the departure ut his Majesty, who was conducted buck to the hull adjoining the gallery of Apollo, in the same manner that he had been re. ceived on his arrival. A second salute of artillery announced the return of the King to the Palate of the Tuileries. The following is an extract of a letter tom Per nambuco, dated the 11th tilt Affairs arc in a dreadful state in this province. Lie late act of butchery, which is termed the battle of Bonito, has caused an impression which will nut ha easily ef faced, and is by some thought to be only the tore. runner of more serious disorders. The insurgents, as they are called, are described us having been a peaceable, though deluded, set of men; they be. lieved that King Sebastian would, one day or other return and put things to rights; anti were averse from, and would not submit to the military despot ism which is exercised throughout the country, by the petty delegates of power. Their contumacy was exaggerated ; ned Luis do Rego (who served under 11 elliogton) sent two battalions of Cacadores, with as many of militia, and a tro•ip of horse, to exterminate the rebels, which they did most effec tually, and returned to Rocite with all the ' pomp and circumstances of war,' brim„ing captive divers old women and children, decrip.xl old u.en , and a few buys. The royal loss amounts to 178 killed and wounded ; that of the other party is not known, Bonito is about JO leagues di Lint from Recife.... The cream rein ins: Madurriro, who is major com mending the militia of the district, was made chief of the expedition. Sa, a licutenunt-colonel of the Cacadores, was piqued at this, endeavoured to get w the windwaat tit the other, and by kneed marches, put an end to the affair befere the militia came up. It, however, so happened that they both arrived, by different routes at the sate lime; and those who are disposed to be charitable say, that Sa, mistaking the other party tine lime enemy, ordered his men to Lac without making any questions; the consequence was, Su List 11 men, and Madureiro 174. The mistake mi g ht well have happened, as the militia were in their shirt sleeve+, having Ewen sunintoncti too hastily to think of their uniform.
