N ~y LAI:, Al/ 11. I,y 1.11; THE NATIONAL REGISTER Lotman. MONDAY, JANUARY 1. An additional motive for petitioning the King to dismiss his Ministers has arisen within a few days. Mr. Canning has resigned—the cause of his resig nation is admitted by the ministerial papers to be the determination of the Cabinet to prime other means for the degradation of the Queen, and Mr. Cunning's resolui ion to save himself from the inde lible disgrace of bearing• a part in such proceedings. The country is now on the brink of an abyss—to advance a single step may open to it'the most ap palling chasm : the phrenzy produced by the recent measures, in opposition to the declared opinion and wishes of the people,may become madness if pushed a little further, and in their political insanity the people may attempt a revolution. At a moment like this, every man is bound to rally round the Consti tution: our readers well know what we mean—they will not suspect us of joining the cry of those who unite the Constitution with the Cabinet. We con sider that the present men have done all that could be done by men, possessed of their abilities, to de an)), what we venerate. We know that they have brought the country to a state of distress, calamity, and dissatisfaction, the effects of which can only be averted by an entire change. We, therefime, feel that every mu, who Las an atom of interest, is 'bound to exert it—every one is called upon by his attachment to his King and his country, to contri bute to their removal.—Addresses for this purpose to the King are in general progress; but this is insufficient. Petitions, firm, but respectful, to Loth Houses of Parliament tnnst be presented on their meeting;—this is the oily way to do, consti tutionally, what every true Englishman must wish, and the sooner it be done the beau.. The Queen is to be degraded in Hanover! What they may call degradation will be easily achieved ' STOCA . S. da.mins I. Imp. 3 per Crnl. 1111414 iioll4il 111.63 :511,Ck EZCtietilier 61114 25. dia.

Thank God ! Ergland has not yet a despotic Government, and, if its people will exert themselves, it never will—if they do not, and that immediately, the alternative between despotism and revolution will he fbrced upon them, and we our selves, if left to our choice, should pause. NVe hope our countrymen will yet avoid so lamentable a dilemma. Four days Paris papers, which had been in arrear, have arrived. The Muir licur it,serts, that the King of the Two Sicilies sailed from Naples on the 13th miler the British and French flag, to meet the Allied Powers at Laybach. The Codsfibiaolle/, the Cavite de France. and other minor Journals state the sante fact, and that his Neapolitan Majesty had landed at Leghorn. They add also, that the Doke of Campo Cilium had been impeached by the Pedi ment, and succeeded by the Duke de Gallo. Other accounts assert, that the impeachment includes all the Neapolitan Ministers, and that a new Ministry had been appointed. The Comabiome' mentions I that two Proclamations were issued by King Fer• dinand previous to his departure, but silent as to their contents. These are rather portentous signs for the Neapolitan Patriots. We arc fUrnished with no clue whereby we can judge of those proceedings. We hope there is nothing " rotten in the-State of Naples," and that corruption and treachery are not at work. The King of Naples is in his seventieth year, and he declined, in the first instance. the conference to which he was invited by the Allied Powers, but it is now said the request was repeated, and he was urged by the French and English Mi nisters to comply. The latter statement we consider rather doubtful, but if it be the fact, it k locum bent upon them to take particular care of his inte rests, as his Majesty was never remarkable for poli tical sagacity, acuteness of intellect, or Courtly in trigue. The dictation of any ti,reign Power or Powers in the domestic government of a natioa is a mast flagrant act of injustico, that deserves the general reprobation of mankind. Three of the Allied Confederates have already decided, it is said, against the Revolution in Naples, and if Ferdinand is determined to support it, it is likely that he will be able to convert them in favour of the Liberties and Independence of his country /1 Is it not then a suspicious circumstance that he should be invited to a conference which he nished to avoid, while the Emperor of Austria has an immense force menacing Naples, and ready, we are told, to act. There is to be another Congress next year, and probably an nually until the Holy Allies begin to quarrel among themselves. If these meetings arc intended to awe, or to have an imposiag effect upon the people of surrounding nations, their frequency will contravene their object. Two of the Paris Journals devoted to the Ultras state, on the authority ofa private letter, that evidences of conspiracy relating to the late Re volutions of the isle of Leon, Naples, and Oporto, have been discovered. They however refrain from their usual misrepresentations and falsehoods of Spain being in a disturbed state, and on the eve of anarchy and confusion. The proceedings in the French Chamber of Deputies arc merely of local in terest. They have been rather stormy, arising out of the discussions on the different Members proving their qualifications. The admission of Count Ker gmlay and M. H. de Thury, returned for the De partment of the Oise, was opposed on the constitu tional ground of a military hirtw having beta most illegally introduced at the time of the election ; and also on the ground of the Returning O:&cr having been guilty of gross and wilful partiality in regu biting the voters entitled to poll on that Occasion.— M. Geurdin, uho brought thrward the charge, was compelled to desist by the disapprobation expressed and the two Deputies were declared by the President 4P MIR - 421 of have received the assent of the Chamber for thei, admission. Much clamour prevailed with respect to the eligibility of some other Members, all of whom however, took their seats, with the exception of M, tie St. Crier', who being returned fir the Lower Pyrenees, thungh actually a Deputy for the Seine and Marne, it was decided, by a great majority, that the foraL:r return was void. The Chamber adjourned till Tuesday. Accounts have be..in received in town from Lima, dated September the 10;11. They state that Gen. San Martin had landed about forty leagues distant, at Pisco, with 4,800 men, whd were convoyed down by Lord Cochrane with the whole naval Kiree of Chili. On the 25th of October, the whole coast of Peru was declared to be in a state of block ade. The troops of the Viceroy in the City amounted to 6,500 ; but as the inhabitants of the Country were decidedly in &your of the Invaders, the latter would by progressive steps anti prudent conduct im prove their advantages, and the Independents were ultimately expected to obtain possession of Peru,— The intelligence from Spain of the King's accep tance of the Constitution had arrived, and it had been sworn to by the Inhabitants, and the Autho rities of the Peruvian Capital ; but this would not prevent Lord Cochrane and General San Martin from punning their objects with aetivity and vigour; The Independent Chief Bolivar is censured for ac. ceding to an armstice with Royalist General Morale. It lawever only applies to the Armies under these two Commande►', and will not, it is hoped, produce any ill arect wish respect to the expedit►on destined to give liberty to Peru, and wealth to the Invaders. His Majesty's ship F'mntrile, Capt. EL Robinson, . which has arrived ut Portsmouth from the New foundland station, came last from Gibralta and Cadiz. She lett Gibraltar on the 29th ult. and Cadiz on the lith instant. There was not a single ship of war at either place. The Woff, Capt. Yeoman,. (whin h had been cruizing off Cape St. Vincent,. to in:th-ti all 11,1ish vessels that the yellow fever was Cadiz), sailed on the same day the Euvoirrite did, to return to the Cork station. Stoek to the amount of 140,0001. was transferred ou Sl.tor.lav to the Trustees of Queen Anne's Boonty. A comiderahle scarcity of money stock uelbre existed, and was much increased by this ope ratioa. The brokers, who had engaged to deliver 4, were compelled, we understand, to pay up• a large quantity of Otuninm, in order to assist in creating the stock required. This want of an ade quate supply of stuck for large purehasei, is the prevailing feature of the present period, and has materially amisted to preserve he market at its pre sent elevation. The abund,otte of money- among .he London capitalists, by which the scarcity et stoci is produced, forms a singular contrast teethe complaints from almost every quarter of the king dom, the scarcity of money. This state of things is sup cased to atise-Ist, from the reluctance of the farmers, however pressed, to part with the Govern ment Stock, which the prudent part of them were enabled to accumulate during high war prices :X agricultural produce; and 2dly, from an ignorance of that timile of borrowing money on the funds, which is termed conthiaation, and by which the mercantile bodies in Landon, Liverpool, Bristol, and other parts of the kingdom, during a similar distress for capital, could always command a tempo• rary relief. The Hon. and Rev. F. P. Bouverie. Rector of Pewsey, Wilts, with a liberality that distinguishes his tinnily, has, in consequence of the very depressed state of agriculLure, reduced his tithes 15 per cent.
