SUNDAY, DIiCENII3ER 31. - An additional motive Ibr pctitionin the Ni , lg to dismiss his Ministers has arisen within a few days. Mr. Canning has resigned—the cause or his resig nation is admitted by the ministerial pqers to be the determination of the Cabinet to pursue other means fOr the degradation of the Queen, and Mr. Canning's resolution to save himself front the inde lible disgrace of bearing a part its suds 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 phreaszy produced Isy the recent measures, in opposition to the declared opinion and wishes of the people,may become maduus 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 nwan—they is:ill nut 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- Croy what we venerate. We know that they have brought the, country to a state cf distress, calamity, and dissatisfaction, the efli:ets of which can only be averted by an entire change. We, therefore, feel that every ism, who has ssa atom of interest, is bound to exert it—every one is called upon by his attachment to his king unit his country, to contri bute to th..ir removal.—. Addresses for this purpose to the king arc in general progress; but this is insutlieient. Petitions, firm, init respectful, to both Houses or Parliament must be presented on their meeting;—this is the oily vrty to do, consti tutionally, what every trae'Englishman must wiNh, and the sooner it be done the better. The Queen is to be degraded in Hanover! What they may call degradation will be easily achieved there under the influence of the illustrious Vice-Roy —and what honest man Will esteem her Majesty an iota less for a measure which, under the tyrannic law of Germany, must be passed by a venal legisla ture when it is once introduced by a despotic Government. Thank God'! England 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 be forced upon them, and we our selves, if left to our choice, should pause. IVc hope our countrymen will yet avoid so lamentable a d ilenuna. Four days' Paris papers, which had been in arrear, have arrived. The Mositenr asserts, that the King of the Two Sicilies sailed from Naples on the 13th ult, under the British and French flag, to meet the Allied Power's at Laybach. The CouAtilt:lime!, the Cezrt,e vie France. and other minor Journals state the same Cue, and that his Neapolitan Majesty had landed at Leghorn. They add also, that the Duke 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 Constauouel mentions that two Proclamations were issued by King 12er dinand previous to his departure, but silent as to their contents. These are rather portentous slims fur the Neap(Akan 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 arc 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 urgetl by the French and Englisa Mi nisters to comply. The latter statement we consider rather doubtful, but if it be the fact, it is incum bent upon them to take particular care of his inte rests, us his Majesty was never remarkable for poli tical sagacity, muteness of intellect, or Courtly in_ trigue. The dictation of any foreign Posser or Powers in the domestic government of a nation is a most flagrant act of injustice, 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 11 Is it not then a suspicious circumstance that he should be invited to a conference which he as hated to avoid, while the Emperor of Austria has an immense force menacing Naples, and ready, we arc wit!, 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 are intended to awe, or to have an imposing 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 of a private letter, that evidences of conspiracy relating to the late Re volutions of the Isle of Leon, Netles, and Oporto, have been discovered. They however refrain from their usual misrepresentations and filselloods of Spain being in a disturbed state, and on the eve of anarchy and confusion. The proceedings in the French Chamber of Deputies are merely of local in terest. They have been rather stormy, arising out of the discussions on the dilferent Members proving their qualifications. The admission of Count Ker gorlay and M. 11. de Thury, returned fur the De partment of the Oise, was opposed on the coustitn- Lionel ground of a military force having been most idcgally introduced at the time of the election ; and also on the ground of the Returning Olicer having been guilty of gross and wilful partiality in regu luting the voters enti►led to poll on that occasion.— M. Geardin, alto brought forward the charge, was compelled to desist by the disapprebistion expressed and the two Deputies were declared by the Presidetit THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 4.gt t o have received the assent of the Chamber fur their admission. Much clamour prevailed with respect to the eligibility of some other Members, all of whom however, took their seats, with the exe-ption of sl, de St. Cricq, who being returiled for the Loner Pyrenees, though actually a I)•.nuty ror the Sine and Marne, it was tlecil.l, by a great majority, that the former return wls void. The Chamber adjourm.d, till Tuesday. Accounts have been reecivtxl in town from Lima, dated September the 10th. They state that Gen. San Martin had landed about forty leagues distant, at Pisco, with 4,800 men, who were convoyed down by Lord Cochrane with the whole naval force 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 8,500 ; but as the inhabitants of the Country were decidedly in fivour of the Inv; tiers, the latter would by progressive steps and 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 ken 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 pursuing their objects with activity and vigour. The Independent Chief Bolivar is censured for uc ceding to an nrmstice with Royalist General Morillo. It however only applies to the Armies under these two Commanders, and will not, it is hoped, produce any ill effect with respect to the expedition destined to give liberty to Peru, and wealth to the Invaders. I its Majesty's ship Favourite, Capt. H. Robinson, which has arrived at Portsmouth from the New foundland station, came last from Gibraltar and Cadiz. She left Gibraltar on the !"29th ult. and Cadiss on the I ttit iastunt. There was not a single ship of war at either place. The Ifioy; Capt. Yeoman, (which had been cruizing off Cape St. Vincent, to ini;aln ad British vessels that the yellow fever was pr.wai wig at Cadiz), sailed on the same day the Favourite ail, to return to the Cork station. Stock to the amount of 110,0001. was transferred on Saturday to the Trustees of Queen Anne's &nutty. A considerable scarcity of money stock before existed, and was much increased by this ope ratitm. The brokers, who bad engaged to deliver it, were compelled, we understand, to 'say up a large quantity of Uranium, in order to assist in creatiag the stock required. This want of an ade quate supply of stock for large purchases, is the prevailing feature of the present period, and has materially assisted to preserve the market at its uses sent elevation. The abundance of money amen the Loudon capitalists, by which the s,:arcity es stock is produced, forms . a singular contrast to the complaints from almost every quarter of the king dom, the scarcity of money . Thi s state o f t hi ngs is supposed to arise—lst, 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 of agricultural produce; and 2dly, front an ignorance of that mode of horrotsing money on the funds, which is termed contiotethon, and by which the mercantile bodies in Lc 'don, Liverpool, Bristol, and other ports of the ,kirgdom, during a similar distress for capital, could always command a tempo rary relief. The Hon. and Rev. F. P Bouvcric, Rector of Pewsey, Wil!s, with a liberality that distinguishes his faintly, has, in consequence of the very depressed state of agriculture, reduced his tithes I i per cent. A silver coin of Titus was found in tlw rubbish of an old house, which was lately pulled down in Eastgate-street, CheAter. In digging to foundation tier a new building, a pavenient was discovered at about eight feet below the present level of the street. This gives strength to the prevalerr. opinion that the level of the city was originally that of the flour of the cathedral, to which persons have now to descend by several steps. About eight o'clock on Saturday evening, a get:. tlemanly looking matt, about twenty-seven years of age, called at Monday's Coffee-house, in Covent- Garden, and after having tea in the claw-room, he contrived to steal a betutiful slyer tea caddie aid silver bitson. Numbers of our great landholders have, owing to the pre.littre at' the times, reduced their rents. At the laic audit of Jaines Eversfield, Egg at ClOleld, Sussex, a r.Yl•tcii.rn of 20 per rent. was nut only male on remit then due, but the same amount wets Liken otf titan the previous hallyear's rent a1re.1417 p..i.t, titan his Gesainz estates. ,
