THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON, SUNDAY, APRIL 27. ler the House of Lords on Thursday evening, Lord Ellenborough moved an address to his Ma jesty, whisk, if curried, would have been tantatn,unt to a censure on the conduct of Ministers in the question of Peace or War between France and Spain —the noble Lord was most ably supported by Lord Holland, whose speech possessed a luminousness, - which was scarcely diminished by the error of the cause it was intended to serve—the division /hewed an immense majority in &your of Ministers, and for once, we do not ,regret it—we applaud the deter mination of our Government to remain neutral—we have already tasted, though not yet to the dregs, the bitter cup of distress prepared for us, by the infa mous expenditure, infamously incurred, in an infa mous war, for the infamous purpose of forcing upon a gallant nation a family which they abhorred—and we are by no means in a state for further Quixotic movements—Sir F 'rtirsiThs Burdett thinks we should protect Spain, and woull have a war for that purpose commenced immediately—this might be very well if we were tire flow the mill-stone of our public debt—the income of the worthy Baronet is nearly fifty thousand pounds per annum, and the only difforenue to him, whether we be at war or at JW TUF NATIONAL lIEGISTi ' . . peace, might probably be the increase or decrease of a few thousands in his savings—but with the Poor, the case is totally different—the ineehanic or labourer who can now by the sweat of his brow furnish his wife and children with three meals a day, and who knows that he would be obliged to reduce that to two meals a day, has a much more correct feeling on the subject than any one can have who is wallowing in superabundant wealth—when Sir Francis Bur dett speaks of distress he is wandering without the guide of experience—he knows not what it is, for a tether to be appealed to in vain for bread, by his starving wife and children—we repeat, what we said last week, that nothing short of absolute aggression against ourselves .ought to draw England into a war under all the existing circumstances. Pord John Russell's motion fur Parliamentary Reform was negatived by 280 against 169, from which majority, if those who (being placemen or pensioners) haie no honest claim to a vote, were de ducted, a triumphant number in favour of the mo tion would appear—as it ha, Reform is postponed— but take place it will, we know, at no distant period, and we only fear, that if not soon from within the walls of the House, it will originate from without. We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday fast, including those of the evening of that day.— They contain an account of the occupation of Puy cerda, on the 14th of April, by the Ist regiment of French light infantry. It appears that no Spanish troops remained in the place. A detachment of 400 men of the regiment of Zamora, and about thirty cavalry, the only constitutional force in the neigh bourhood, had left Poyeerda at three o'clock in the morning, and the French regiment crossed the ad. joining frontier, and entered at nine o'clock. The Spanish news in the Eitile, which is always to be received with distrust, abounds as usual in re ports favourable to the view oC the invaders.--' Among other things, it is alleged that the members of the Council of State in Madrid have drawn up a protest against the removal of the King; that the Municipality have concurred in this measure, and have declared for the French. It is also stated that the rebel partisan Mirales has destroyed the Coma. tutional division commanded by Gen. Rotten, and threatens the Sen d'Urgel, the speedy surrender of which is anticipated. 'I he following article, in the same paper, on a subject, with reference to which its authority is less liable to suspicion, seems to con firm the capture of a Spanish ship by the French in the West Indies : The Ernest, arrived at Martinique from Havre on the 2 lit of April, brings the news of the Jean Bart having entered Martinique roads with her rich prize. The captain of the Annibal writes that this gal leon, for so he calls the prize, was a letter of marque; that in the night she mistook the Jean Bart for a nierchantman, and attacked her; this gate occasion to the capture. Wednesday last was the day which has been ap pointed for the celebration of the birth of the King, since his Majesty's accession to the throne; and the ordinary preparations were made for the occasion. Among the ceremonies, what is called a Drawing. room is the chief and most important ; and of this, we regret to state, the Nobility, young and old, the Gentry, real and aspirant, were deprived by the most inopportune illness of the King. His Majesty was mdch fatigued by the ceremony of receiving company on Monday at the levee ; and a sudden fit of the gout on Tuesday night gave but brief notice that the pomp of Wednesday must be postponed or omitted. A bulletin was issued, of which the fol lowing is a copy:— " The King is not aisle to receive company at the Drawing " Room to-day, his Majesty shaving expenenmd an attack of " the gout in the nighlir . •• HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY. " Carlton Palace, April as, te23 -. This notification, however, came too lste fur many; sad carriages began to bend their way towards the Palma at the usual hour. Their course was arrested by people placed fur the purpose, and much disap pointment was experienced. The nameless crowd, which usually assembles to hear the music and ob serve the fine dresses, was longer in discovering the absence of the accustomed eeremonial, and contiatted before the Palace daring the whole afternoon. We cannot look at this, and other similar occur rences, without feeling our regret . heightened by the consideration of the state in which the Court and Royal Family might have been ! The following favourable bulletin has been since issued :-- " Carlton Palace, April Y 4. 1843. "The gout, under which the King laboured yesterday, is much mitigated." (Signed as above.) There was no bulletin issued on Friday, but the answer to the inquiries at Carlton Palace was,— " The King has passed a favourable night, and, altogether, is much improved in his health this morning." The present expectation is, bhould the King con tinue getting better, that his Majesty will hold a Drawing-room on Wednesday next. THE FUNDS, YESTERDAY. HALF-PAST Two o'CLoCK. An express from Paris came inast an early hour, bringing the closing price of Rentes on Thursday 83f. 50c.—But ho particular intelligence from the army in Spain. Our market opened well at 771 a, and the guar city of business has been tconsid - erable. The ma neuvres of the Bears have been so far successful, that some few bargains were done at a—but the market now stands at 77i to 4 —very firm. Amongst the rumours brought into action for banging the market, was a pretended sale of five hundred thonsand Consols—but as neither buyer nor seller have yet been traced, tlie report was traced to the incentive side of she account. In Spanish, there has been a great stroke of business. A Money sale of 100,0001. by an emi nent Jew broker, had the effect of reducing the price from 331 to 311.. They have since recovered, being now 33i to 1 Colombian Bonds maintain their price—b 6 to 87. No public business in other Foreign. A messenger belonging to the House of Commons left London on Friday evening, to summon the at tendance of 27 witnesses at the bar of the House, to give evidence on the inquiry that is to take place into the recent legal proceedings in Dublin about the riot in the theatre. Having summoned one witness, who resides at Liverpool, the messenger thence proceeds to Dublin. His Majesty's Levee was numerously attended on Monday lust. The company began to arrive at Carl ton-house about two o'clock, and it was nearly five before the Court was over. There were present all the State Ministers, several Dignitaries of the Church, a great number of Lords and Commoners, and Military and Naval officers. A military guard attended as usual with the band, and several police officers and constables were in attendance, to pre serve the public peace. His Majesty appeared in excellent health. SEIZURE OF A COURT-DRESS.—The court-dress of Mr. Secretary Canning, we are inibrmed, has been seized on the premises of his tailor. Similar dresses belonging to Lord Clan williara and Sir Henry Wellesley narrowly escaped a like fate, by being sent to their owners a short time before the arrival of the officer. It appears that a considerable saving is made in the expense of these gorgeous court-suits by being sent to I'aris to be embroidered ; and it is asserted that the illustrious personages above alluded to first ordered plain suits to be sent, undertaking to get them embroidered themselves. They were accordingly furnished, and then sent to Sir Charles Stuart, at Paris ' • and, a ft er being gorgeously em broidered, and fit to appear before royalty, were returned to this' country with, or as despatches, and so escaped the vigilance of the Customs. Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's, that a Spanish privateer had taken a French ship laden Sebastian.wmmieat 1 1 1 igcamr r e p o rt eR i nn RECORDER t , near Eo IT: stlol i hostilitieshißiEi ss a p y tosih o RenaTnj,beeys, firsttyyl and acaanopdtf e a t :ied sinc h e er t i h n e to co S m t: capture REPORT.---Y es terday prisoners the Record er cap i tally convicted at the last February sessions at the Old Bailey, when John Walker, aged 18 ; James Aldridge, aged 22 ; and Henry Seaton, aged 16, all for burglary, were ordered for execution on Wed nesday next.
