IHE NATION AL REGISTER.. tontion : SUNDAY, MARCH 17. -411 - Ministers have proposed to his Majesty to allow a deduction of 10 per cent. from the salaries of the Keeper of the Privy Purse, the Lord Chambetlain, the Lord Steward, the Master of the lobes, and the Master of the Horse, which will efket a re ductian of 33,0001. per annum ; and on this their toad-eaters, their parasites„, offer them their congra tula ions—but how is praise due to them fur this confined effutt of retrenchment ? Let them, if they really mean to " deserve well of their country," submit the Civil List, amounting to more than a minion annually, to a Committee, not nominated by themselves, but fairly and impartially elected— end let theta accede to every reduction which that committee shall declare practicable. On the motion of Lord Normanby for the reduction of one of the join t Postmasters General, the Honourable Frederick Robinson boldly asserted, what had never before been hazarded in the British House of Commons— it had always been understood that a considerable share of corrupt influence was used on the part of .I%linisters to insure vote: in support of their measures, but no one till Mr. Robinson ever went so far as to declare to the Ewe of the country, that the retention of an office, confessedly useless, was requite to „Insure by the patronage it =fared, that sort of influence which might enable Ministers ►o induce honourable members of that House to say Aye or No, when their consciences and common honesty would oblige them to an exactly contrary vote.— Mr. Peel and the Marquis of Londonderry appeared exceedingly angry ut this unadvised candour on the part of Mr. Robinson. " When rogues quarrel, honest men get their due," but this rule, like all others, is open to exceptions, and the useless lumber of the Post Office (the Marquis of Salisbury) is re tained by the vote of the House of Commons,. for the express purpose of increasing in that House the influence of the Crown—we are glad, however, to observe, that another opportunity will be allowed the members to review their decision, and by re versing it to redeem their characters with their constituents. Lord Normanby on Thursday night declared his intention to bring the subject again bethre the House, and his full reliance on ultimate success. The motion of Mr. Creevy on Thursday night for a Committee to inquire into the duties at tached to the. Board of Controul,. with a view to a redaction of the Commissioners,, met a. similar fate ; but this cannot astonish any one who will look im partially at the constitution of that House which arrogates to itself the title of the Representatives of the People—every da) shews more and more the necessity of a Reform, and we are of that number that would rather the House should be reformed by. Acts of Parliament, than by a rebellion of the people driven to desperation by the enormities of their rulers. Reform must and will be had—if it be not obtained without violence the House of Commons will have only itself to blame. Tlic DIAMOYDS.—Many obscure allusions have been made to the subject of the sum of 70,0001. which it was said was intended to be charged to the coronation expences•—the following we believe to be a fair statement of the facts:—His Majesty pre- seated, some time ago, to the Marchioness of Conyng ham an elegant diamond collar—at a party given at the Pavilion the next evening Lady Francis Conyngham, the Marchioness' daughter-in-law, ap peared with the collar on her neck—the King said he intended it for the decoration of the per:•on of the 'Marchioness, who replied, that she considered it more appropriate to Lady Francis, and that s•lee wanted a Dram ON D Srom ACH 6R—the latter article was therefore procured and presented, and the bill for the two baubles, amounting to 70,0001., sent into the Treasury. Lord Liverpool immediately wrote a letter, in which he stated that " In the pre sent time of cavil at expenditure, he could by no means countenance such a payment from the public funds, but the demand must be met from the privy purse"—this letter arrived at an inauspicious mo ment and waa reserved, as it is supposed, until a propitious opportunity should occur for the com munication of so unpleasant a document.—ln the interim, however, a second application was made at the Treasury for payment, and the Earl of Liverpool went immediately to Brighton, where finding his letter had not reached its destination, he protested against any intervention between his Majesty and his Ministers, and in consequence of Lord Liverpool's sternness on the subject, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield's dismissal took place—it is but justice to both parties to add that his Majesty intimated his gracious in tention to continue his salary, to which Sir Benjamin nobly replied, that if his services were no longer required, he could have no possible claim to be paid fur them. Sir Benjamin is succeeded by Lord I. rancis Conyngham, a younger son of the Mar chioness of Conyng,ham !! ! By the ship Homer, arrived at Baltimore from Buenos Ayres, we have the following : The surrender of Callao was produced by a scar city of provisions among the garrison. The garrison is said to have amounted to 6 or 6CO invalids. Forty thousand stand of arms have fallen into the hands of the Patriots. At present Guido is the acting Governor of Callao, and the greatest tranyillity reigns at Lima. Vessels were not permitted to com mence discharging till the Bth October. (From the Boston Patriot of Feb. 13.) Commodore Ch,ytor, of the Buenos Ayres brig bulependencia, arrived at Charleston, confirms the accounts heretofore received of the entire indepen. deuce of 'Mexico and its provinces. The citadel of Vera Cruz still held out, but was expected to be given up immediately. The of the Spani,lt American coast, from Comana all along the Spanish Main to Vera Cruz, with the provinces of Guyatan, Guatamala, &c. have achieved and settled their in dependence.. Extract of a letter from Montreal :—".The legis latura of Upper Canada has voted '2,0001. to defray the expences of the Attorney-General on his visit to London, in order to lay their complaints against. cue House of Assembly respecting their share of the pro vincial duties; and. it is now confidently reported that Ministers have, of late years, been so much troubled with complaints and demands from the le gislatures of the Canadas, that they have at last determinetl.to bring a Dill into Parliament to re• unite the two provinces." The Paris papers of Wednesday last have arrived, bringing the preliminary decision of the Tribunal of First Instance, in the suit between M. Latiqe and, Messrs. Bertrand and Montholon. It will Le seen from the report of the judgment, and of the reasoning on which it was founded, that the main question has not been grappled with—as to Buena parte's capacity of acquiring, retaining, or devising properry, while engaged in open rebellion, and after he had been adjudged guilty of high treason against the Sovereign of France. The only point set at rest by the present adjudication, is the insufficiency of the documents brought forward by the plaintiffs to prove their right to the litigated fund, either as at turnies or executors of Buonaparte. M. Lafitte is authorized by the Court to place the money in the coffer of deposits, as he had asked leave to do, and lcssrs. Bertrand and Montholon, being declared not entitled to receive it, are ordered to pay costs. It appears that no serious disposition to further tumult bas shown itself in connexion with the sub ject of the missionaries since our last accounts. Four or five Jens d'armes were able to disperse in a mo ment the only assemblage that was formed on Tues day in the Place des riclorici. Gen..Berthon, as is stated in a letter from Par thenay, had a narrow escape on the Bth inst. lie had left a farm-house before day-light that morning, and at nine a.m. an officer arrived in pursuit cf him. The General is described to have been disguised, unattended, and alarmed fin- his persoral safety.— None of the Chiefs of this insurrection have yet been apprehended by the Government. On the 14th instant the report was to be made in the Chamber of Deputies on the petition of Mrs. Loveday. BREACII OF PRIVILEGE. The following is a copy of the Treasury Circular alluded to in the llouse of Commons on Friday evening, by Lord John Russell, as a breach of pri vilege : (PRIVATE.) Downing street, Bth March, 1822. MY DEAR Stli,—On Wednesday next, the 13th instant, a motion is to be made by Lord Normanby, to abolish the Ake of one of the Postmasters General, and on the 14411, the day tell- Creevey makes a bimi lax mutton against the Board of Controul. In this manner the just and necessary influence of the Crown is from day to day attacked; and as other motions of a similar nature are to be made by Lord Althorp, &c. it will be (June impossible for any set of men to conduct the Government of tlns country, unless practices of this kind shall he succes , fully resisted. I t scents as it the Opposition, in despair of coming into ofha. had determined to break down the means of administering the affairs of the country ; and as this subject is become most M. 110 1 .16. I have no scruple in apprising you of what is now passing , wan the hope and expectation that you will think it necessary to at tend, and thus to lend your aid in stemming the torrent of such dangerous innuvatiuu.—Yout's, most sincerlye.
