By our Parliamentary report, it will be st , - hat the two Houses were prorogued on Thursday last, and hew they were prowvued—we huve.been uni formly admirers of c,nsistency, and however , rare an occurrence it ivy. LeLe in the present instance,' we applaud ministersA" And the Lord commended she unjust Steward, because he had acted wisely, for the children of this world are in their genera tion wiser than titer_ children of light."]—they had acted in a way that caused them to fear meeting the representatives of a people, justly enraged at their recent conduct, and they therefore determined to prorogue Parliament—to put off at least, the day of bitter reproach. A'dissolution is expected forth. with, and what can ministers promise themselves front such a measure—can they suppose that the event of an election at the present moment, can by any possibility, be auspicious to than. Can they anticipate returns to the writs more favourable to the views of oppression than those that were last made, when the public execrations had not been drawn towards them by their infamous, unmanly, disgraceful, and defeated persecution of the Queen. Or, is a partial change of ministers contemplated.— Is it proposed to invert the advice of Hamlet to his. mother to " throw away the worser half," and is it meant after having cobbled up an administration, on which only Fools and Rogues can rely, to appeal to the voice of the electors, under the belief that they may be once more cajoled. If such be the in tention, to those electors, would we speak in the stentorian tone of awfal prophecy—we would as sure them that politically—" Now is the appointed time, now is the day of Salvation" and that if they embrace it not,despotism; or revolution, sl tvery, or licentiousness, must and will be the unquestioned lot of their posterity. Ministers have placed them selves in such a dilemma, that resignation itself cannot shield them from punishment, unless they can prevail upon their successors to held the iEgis of power between ministers and their offences. On the conduct of the Speaker of the House of Commons we make no comment. While the present Lords Sidmouth and Colchester held that situation their impartiality was laudably conspicuous ; they seemed nut to belong to any party—how far the present Speaker (who is the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury) may deserve the same praise, we leave it to our Readers to determine, after having perused onr account of the prooeedings in the House of Commons yesterday. The French papers of Tuesday arrived yesterday. —The Con.siiiutionnel contains a letter from Lisbon of the 7th inst., which, particularly in con sequence of the accounts, five days later, brought this day by the Lisbon mail,. deserves attention.— After stating that the Portuguese did not need the example of Spain to effect the recent revolution, inasmuch as every one desired it : the writer ob serves, that the present situation of the country requires all the attention of those entrusted with the conduct of its affairs. Every one expects he adds, that the King of Portugal will protest sgainst all thit has been done, On the other hand, notwith standing the acts of the Provisional Government for maintaining the old regulations in favgur of English commerce, the late occurrences must be sooner or later prejudicial to English manufacturers. Sitaated as Spain is, between Gibraltar and Portugal, while tie latter was exclusively an English market, it was impossible to prevent a contraband trade in English goods both iu Syaiu ona to the Sit.tuizh THE NATIONAL REGISTER In conclusion, however, this letter says, " whatever may happen, Portugal will stick to what has been done." A letter from Messina, dated the 2 Ist of October, says that tranquillity is perceptibly re-establishing in the interior of Sicily. On the 2d of November Borelli was elected Pre; gaunt of the Neapolitan Parliament, Ruggiero Vice President, and Dragonetti Secretary.—The Deputy, Mazzoni, made a motion for the suppression of the religious orders that their property should be divided into small parts, and the produce applied to objects of public utility. A report was read from the Minister of the Interior, for abolishing feudal rights in Sicily, and sent to a committee. During the lute troubles in Palermo, a magazine of gunpowder blew up, and 4.0 persons were killed in consequence. The Neapolitan journals are filled with offers of the people, both of money and services in support. of tho national• independence. An article is inserted in the Journal des Debats, under the head of Carlsruhe, Nov. 8, giving what is said.to be.a copy of a letter from the Baron d'Ende to Mr. Vizard, our Queen's solicitor, explaining more fully his reasons for refusing to come over to England. He repf...ca the pretence of his health being very ill—being such as to require his most serious, care;. he then pretends to have discovered, in a speech of Mr. Brougham, something, so very inju rious to the memory of the late Grand Duke, his master, that " he would lose all esteem for himself, if he could lend himself to a.causs in which they had dared to blatken JO unjustly his late Highness's noble manner of acting;" and he sums up with saying, that at any rate the testimony he could give would not be of that use to her Majesty which it is supposed. If that testimony could have injured her, who imagines that Baron.d'Ends would have stayed away ? We have heard much of the insidious labours of the Dissenters, to draw away the Socks from their legal pastors ; but never, in our days did we ever witness so deliberate a procedure carried on, to drive every conscientious individual away from his parish Church, as the measure which was countenanced by the Reverend Bench of Bishops to punish an Illus-• trious Individual, without even the form of a trial, by excluding her name from the Liturgy. Talk, ndeed, of the assaults of " tive Methodists," as cer tain men choose to designate all who differ from them on any point--talk of,the assaults made by such men " to overturn the venerable fabric of the Church of England,"—what are they compared with the new torpedo which has been introduced by these " Sons of Wisdom ?" Was it ever known since the Church of• England was established by law, that Prayers were ordered by authority, of such a nature as to make whole congregations si multaneously, and by one impulse, quit the Church, and leave the Parson and •the Clerk to finish th.. Service alone? If " no alteration whatever• can be made in the Public Service," the building of the new Churches may be suspended without further loss of time, and, ere lung, even the old ones will become untenan ted. We received a Lisbon mail this morning contain ing most important intelligence, dated Lisbon, Nov. 1.2. It is unfortunately of that imperfect nature which is just calculated to create anxiety without at all satisfying it. According to instruction given, the deputies were to tom at Lisbon in the place of the Neetssidados, on theiló of 7 January, isiO: the number is about tOo, and they were to ie , ..ve a mot dore per diem. The scheme is formed on th. Jrf. odel, with tome modification. The proclamation tio,• .. ,xupanitvl the instructions is (smoldered as an eloquent pr..s:tion, and is supposed to hare been drawn up by Francisco de San Louis, late professor at the Univeisity of Coimbra, and now one of the munbers of the Provisional Junta of the Supreme Government of the Kingdom. LISBON, Nor. very unlooked for circumstance has occurred, which will render the above instructions nugatory.-- An attempt has been Made by General Texcint. Colonel Ant , . du Silva, and Col. Cabreira, to turn out six of the member.; of the Piovisional junta, at the point of the bayonet. All the troops were called out under pretext of a review; they were posted in different parts of the city, ball cartridges were dis tributed among Clem, and a number of pieces f stationed in commanding positions, were loathed publicly, and the matches kept lighttal. The schenie failed in part, for none of the Members of the Junta were turned out, but the Spanish Connitut;on was adopted and sworn to.

We perceive the signature of his Royal Highneita• the Duke of Clarence to each of four Protests which appear on the Journals of the Lords against the withdrawing the Bill of Pains and Penalties—" Let him who is without sin cast the first atone." Does this profligate Duke suppose that the nation has. forgotten his debaucheries with Mrs. Jordan, or that they ever will forget them, while the impure pro. duce of that disgraceful connection, tkeNajors, the Captains, and the Misses Fit=lannee, are quartered on the hued-earned gains of a suffering and oppressed . people; or does his Royal Highness suppose that.. the people of England can forget that, atter having: received her weekly salary at the treasury of a Theatre, he allowed her to breath her last ntlierted in her utmost need 11, those her former bounty fed," in a state of superlative penury and distress; in fact,. so entirely bereaved of all, as to be at last consigned to the grave by foreign charity, in little better than an old tea-chest tin a coffin.

COURT Or KING'S BENcH.SATURDAT, A rule was•granted to show cause why • criminal information should not be filed against the Earl of Westmeath, for provoking Mr. Wood, a trustee for. Lady Westmeath, to fight a duel. The report which obtained very general eircule.• tion early in the week, that the Bank Directors kola determined to reduce then rate of discount from five to fiur per cent , is, we understand, without foun— dation. It is said that his present Majesty, while Prince of Wales, used to speak of a toorthy member of his family, (and they are so scarce that any one may knew who we mean) as " Silly Billy,"—he might with greater propriety speak of another, of proteet.- ing notoriety, as " Wicked Billy."
