Lord Cllenborough moved an. address to his Ma jesty, which, if carried, would have been tantamount 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 shewed an immense majority in favour of Ministers, and fur once, we do nut regret it—we applaud the deter mination of our Government to remain neutral—we have already tasted, though not yet to the dregs, the Litter cup of distress prepared fur us, by the infa mous expenditure, infamously incurred, in an infa mous war, for the infamous purpose of forcing upon a gallant nation a fatally which they abhorred—and we are by no means inn state for further Qui.rJlic movements.—.-Sir Francis Burdett thinks we should protect Spain, and would have a war for that purpose commenced immediately—this might be very well if we were free from the mill-stone of our public debt—the Mecum: of the • nlity Baronet is nearly fifty thousand pounds per annum, anti the only diiLreuce to hint, whether• we at war or at T3F NATIONAL REGISTER 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 mechanic 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 father 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. Lord John Russell's motion fur Parliamentary Reform was negatived by 280 against 169, from which majority, if those who (being placemen or pensioners have no honest claim to a vote, were de ducted, a triumphant number in favour of the mo tion would appear—as it is, Refiom is postponed— but take plane 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 hod, 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 Puycerda 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 node, which is always to be received with distrust, abounds as usual in re porn favourable to the view of 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 Consti tutional division commanded by Gen. Rotten, and threatens the Seu d'Urgel, the speedy surrender of which is anticipated. The 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 21st of April, brings the news of the Jean Bart having entered Martinique roads wi.h her rich prize The captain of the Annibal writes that this gal leon, fur so he calls the prize, was a letter of marque; that in the night she mistook the Jean Bart for a tnerchuntman, and attacked her; this gave 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 much 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 Mole to receive company at the Drawing " Room to-day, hi. Majesty ',having experienced an attack of " the gout in the night. " HENRY lIALFORD. " MATTHEW JOILN TIERNEY. Calton Palace, April 23, 1823. - 'Y: Thianotificatioa, however, came too late for many and carriages began to bend their way towards the Palace at the usual hour. Their course was arrested by people placed for the purpose, and much disap pointment was experienced. The nameless crowd, which usually assembles to hear the music and ob. serve the fate dresses, was longer in discovering the absence of - the accustomed ceremonial, and continued before the Palace daring the whole afternoon, We cannot look at this, anti other similar occur rence, without feeli►►g our regret heightened by the consideration of the state in which the Court and Royal Family viighl have been ! The following favourable bulletin has been since issued :-- " Carlon Palace, April 26, 1823. "The gout, under which the King laboured yeaerday, is much mitigated." (Signed as above.) There was no bulletin issued on Friday, but the answer to the inquiries at Carlton Palace " The King has passed a favourable night, and, altogether, is much improved in his health this morning.." The present expectation is, should the King con tinue getting better, that his Majesty will hold a Drawing-room on Wednesday next. TIIE FUNDS, SATURDAY. • iiALF-PAST Two O'CLOCK. An express from Paris came inat. an early hour, bringing the closing price of Itentes on Thursday BSf. 50c.—But no particular intelligence from the army in Spain. Our market opened well at 772 a, and the quan tity of business has been iconsideruble. The nn of the Bears have been so far successful, that some few bargains were done at I—but the market now stands at 77i to i—very firm. Amongst tho• 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 inventive side of the 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 efLet of reducing the price from 331 to 324. They have since recovered, being now 33g to 4. 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 th 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 last. The company began to arrive ut Carl. ton-house about two o'clock, and it was nearly five before the Court was ovet.. Thew 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. attendiai as usual with the band, and several police officers and constables were in attendance, to pre- . serve the public peace.. His Majesty appealed in excellent health. SEIZURE OF A COURT-DnEss.—The court-dress of Mr. Secretary Canning, we are informed, has been seized on the premises of his tailor. Similar dresses belonging to Lord Clan william 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 l'aris to be embroidered ; and it is asserted that the illustrious personages above alluded to first ordered plain snits to be sent, undertaking to get them embroidered themselves. They were accordingly furnished, and then sent to Sir Charles Stuart, at Paris ;• and, after being gorgeously em. braider, d, and tit 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 with grain, near Bayonne, and carried her into St. Sebastian. This is the first capture since the com mencement of hostilities by land. RECORDER'S RE ro RT.—On Saturday theßecorder made a report to his Majesty of the prisoners capt• tally convicted at the last February sessions at the Old Bailey, when John Walker, aged 18 ; James Aldridge, aged 22; and Henry Seaton, aged 26, all for burglary, were ordered fur execution on Wed nesday next. 1 12 irtror"..*
