THE NATIONAL REGISTER, LonDott, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4. ht our Parliamentary Report of to-day is given the Message of her Majesty, in which she distinctly and very properly says, that she will accept of no allowance from the House of Commons till justice shall be done to her name by its restitution to that place in the Liturgy, from which neither law, honesty, nor propriety, can be urged in defence of its omission. We really do not see how her Majesty could have acted otherwise--she might as well have accepted quietly,the infamous offer which was made her by the agent of his infamous principals at St. Omer's—she might as well have taken the 50,0001. per annum which were offered to her by Lord Hut chinson, tc tacitly confess herself guilty of crimes of which she knew her innocence, and which inno cence has since been made decidedly manifest to every unbiased and honest mind, as to now submit to the disgrace of accepting from the present House of Commons (whose recent. vote on Lord Archibald Hamilton's motion proves that it is less than any thing the organ of the voice of the people of Eng land) an allowance of pecuniary means, while the same House proves itself, by the vote alluded to, to be ready to brand the persecuted wife of their Mo narch with a badge of disgrace which she does not merit. We rejoiced at the first skew of magnanimity which prompted her appearance instanter in England —we have applauded her subsequent actions, and none of them merits our applause more than the last —she may, and no doubt does, rely upon the Eng lish spirit, which has, does, and will support the oppressed against the oppressor—there is a way yet to obtain the IZtoml ', and though Ministers may resist it, after they know such a way still remains, they would not only slow their prudence, but might preserve the little of character that is left to them, by coming thrward anti declaring, that they bad advised the restitution of the Queen's name to the prayers of her people. We cannot quit this subject without record ing our abhorrence of the base, cowardly, un manly feeling which can prompt men in debate to stigmatize as guilty, a female of distinguished fa- THE NATIONAL REGISTER mily, and exalted mind wbo has been virtually de clared innocent, even by a tribunal in which every thing that savours of prejudice against the accused, and partiality and interest towards serving the views of the positive prosecutor was to be found— that the same feeling which caused " every hair of his head to stand an end" when he heard the laudable, honest, and constitutional expressions of the worthy Baronet (Sir Francis Burdett), whose committal to the Tower he after wards moved, should have prompted the same man, after having that beautiful figure of speech re warded by an appointment to a Colonelcy in the next Saturday Night's Gazette,to abuse his Queen with falshood does not surprise us—but we did, and do lament that the Member for Surrey should have also committed himself by shewing his ass-like de termination to have a last kick at what he may consider as a fallen lion—Le bon, ta•ons I viendra, and these two honourable members will live to see the time when their Queen will 3liew her natural nobleness, by allowing their contemptible conduct to find its safety in the oblivion it &serves. Lord Cochrane has taken Lima, after a tremen dous resistance. Four of the vessels were sunk.— The fleet was composed of 20 sail. Panama was declared for the Independents, owing to the success of Lord Cochrane. The Chili squadron, destined fur the attack of Lima, arrived and took possessi m of I'isco, without resistance. The tromps were few in number, and retired ten days after into the inte rior, The Viceroy of Peru sent a flag of truce to General San Martin, requesting an interview, to see if the differences between the mother country and Chili could be arranged. The armistice was agreed on, and a meeting took place, which lasted till the 13th of October, when the deputies sepa rated. Immediately on the arrival of those of Chili at Pisco. General San Martin broke the armistice, and soon after took a small town. The town of Guaypuil declared itself for the Independents on the 6th of October. On the 24th accounts reached Lima, stating that General San Martin was re embarking his forces. The two proclamations subjoined were received on Thursday by the Eliza, from Trinidad ; the one gives the important intelligence of the junction of Guyaquil with the Independents of Columbia ; the other that of the defection of Reyes Vergas, a de scendant of the ancient caciques, and a uuut of the first importance in that country (Venezuela), from the royalist cause. By this proclamation it appears that Morillo, at the time of signing the armistice, was completely between two fires; Bolivar being at Truxillo, Murillo at Carachi, and liqes Vargas ut Carora BULLETIN OF THE GOVERNMENT OF GUNDINA MA RCA.

I have warred with a liberticidal hand, which ought only to have been raised in defence of the country ; but the convulsions of our ancient mother country has given me important lessons on the rights of men. Spain herself has taught me that even a King is but the subject of his people, and that the real Sovereign is the people. When alienated trim reason, I thought, like my ancestors, that the King was the legitimate lord of the nation ; I then with pleasure exposed my lite in his defence ; but now that the immortal Quiroga and Itiego have, with their freedman -bearing arms, discovered the impresetiptible titles of the nation, I have become convinced that the Spanish and the American people equally possess the right of establishing a Government consistent with than own opinion, and fur t own prosperity. My old companions in arms !—The Spanish constitution ex cludes you, under the pretext of being At ricits, from the advan tages which the constitution of Columbia gives you. There w e are treated as nullities in society. Ilere we ate the firs t citizens of the Republic. Believe me, my friends, our anus have been employed to our own injury.

The Court was yesterday morning crowded at an early hour. Amongst tthe dictiognished persons who were present we observed, Lord Lowther, Lord Ossul ston, the I.lonnienry Grey Bennett, and other mem bers of the House of Commons. As soon as the Lord Chief Justice took his seat he delivered the decision of the Court on Mr. Scarlet 's motion, to arrest the judgment. 11 is Lordship said, in support of the first objection urged by the Learned Counsel, that it did not appear with sufficient certainty un the record that the libel in rpiestion was " of and concerning the Government." He had cited the judg ment pronounced by Lord Chief J ustice de Grey in the King r. Shipley, for the law on the suhject. His Lord ship, after reading part of that judgment, was of opinion that the libel in that case was clearly distinguishable from the present. The general character of the coin. position in that case, was clearly on the face of it, was of an :distract and hypothetical nature, and on the re cord there was nothing to shew its connexion with the existing state or circumstances of this country, and that must hive been the ground of the judgment pronounced; but in looking at the record in the present case, the libel would be found to he of a very diffzrent nature.— The writer begins by stating, that lie had read something, of which lie meant to treat ; lie had not said, indeed, that the act was done by order of the Government, ur even that the Government had any knowledge (alit; but it was 11111103.114 e liar any person to read those passages in which the writer wishes public meetings to he held, and concludes with the memorable expression, " England exrects every man to do his duty," without understand ing it as a strong invitation for the people of England to meet in maintain their rights; and how could they be pin in jeopardy, but from the acts of the Government 1 It therefore was clearly a paper written "of and con cerning the Government." The other objection as to the want of certainty respecting the troops employed, did appear to the Court to be maintainable, but sup posing that not to be sufficiently defined, the libel was of and concerning one matter, and in the opinion of the Court there was !natter sufficient for a criminal infor mation, and, on the whole tthat no rule ought to be °ranted to arrest the judgment. - - The Attorney General then prayed judgment on Sir Francis Burdett.—Toe worthy Baronet, who had tett previously sent for, appeared in Court. A greater number of affidavits were then pot in on behalf of the defendant. They occupied the whole of Ow day in reading, and most probably will a great part of Mouthy also. They relate, so far as they have gone, to the citeomstanres atending the celebrated Jlanches. , ter meeting. It is questionable if the Court will be able to wire at the judgment in the course of the Term. From the number of Counsel who are to be heard, namely, five for the defendant and three for the Crown, taking. the case of Major Cartwright also in the account, the pleadings are very likely to °v:min the 'recto. Lteet..—Mr. Scarlett moved for a criminal informa tion against it. F. Weaver, it. Arrowsmith, and Win. Sh iekell, theyroprietors and printer of a palter called ./uhn Bull. The libel was published in No. V. of that p.iper, and was headed •• Queen's Visitors." He ought to observe that the paper in question was full of libels against her Alajesty, but with those he had nothing to do; that was the proper business of his Majest)'s Attor ney General. The libel stated, that the Countess of Thankerville, Lady Mary Bennett, and Ossuls on (a foreigner) could nut refuse the entreaties of the male par. of the family to visit the Queen. Lady Caro line Wrottesley (Lady Mary's sister) having te en de tected in a criminal intrigue with het menial servant. — The Learned Counsel said he should not make any ob servations on the libel , but would merely read the affi davits on which he found his motion. He thch read the affidas its of Sir J. Wrottesley, which stated, that in 1795 lie was niartied to the daughter of the Earl of Tnankeiville, with whom he lived ior SW years, when she died 111 Ins arms, leaving a faintly of five children the tallislavit added that she was a lady of the strictest tumour and chastity, arid there was nut the sh...htest &outs I for the infamous aspersion which had liven pub lished. He had also the affidavits of Lady Thatikerville. and of Lord o,sulston, and the Hon. Mr. Bennett (bro ther to the late Mary IVrottesley), to the same effect.— The Court granted the rule. The Qu r. Brougham moved for a crimina I inforinatio.i against the Rev. Richard Blacow, M. A: fur a libel published iu a pamphlet at Liverpool, pro lissiitg to be die substance of a discourse preached at St. Mark's Church, in that town, on the Vtith November last. 'Fite reverend atitlior admitted the publication of the pamphlet. The Learned Counsel then read an extract from t'ee work, which states, " that It ad 'cal isin hail one feature more disgusting than Jac.ibtausiii."—" They (the Ja. Coblll9 tell down and worshipped the goddess of easo:i, but the Ratite:vs tell down and vsorshipped the goddess of lust, an ohjett of all others, the most worthy of their adoration.' lhe then went on to state, that this goddess of lust had exhibited herself in two or three (planers of the globe, and even violated the holy sepul. core itself whit her presence, to which she was carried mock triumph astride upon ass ass; that she returned iu this country so broil& d mid callous to shame— Toe Lord Chief .
