During the inter-repaint beta een the prorogation and the re-assembling of Parliament, a paucity ..f subject for Editorial anituadversixt exists, utul we cm brace with pleasure the consequent compo.rative lei sure to contrast the politicui conduct of theUltra-lloy alists with that niche Ilefi)rmers; the former oblivitmize t'leir private feeling, / .tbeit: differences of opiuio.i, it;teir distrust of the honesty, awl in ninny cases theft knowledge of the villa ay of their coadjutors; all are forgotten when any step is to be taken whereby the power of the Crown may be extended, the liberty of the subject curtailed, or the protection afforded by the Constitution compromised—in any such case the Ultvn-Royalist, exhibit the effects of "A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all-together." Unfortunately the practice of the Reformers is very different. The most trivial difference in opinion as to the extent of Reform, or the manner of effect ing it, produces a division which is followed by an interminable schism, " A !must: divided against itself," says the highest authority, " cannot stand," THE NATIONAL REGISTER and tinleas all classes of Reformers will speedily re-unite, the chains which are prepared will he rivetted, and the liberty of Englishmen will only to be talked of, as a thing that was. 11ueigh professing ourselves belonging to the class of owderate Re former 3, we do not mean to except them, from the censure which is due to this lamentable want of at-operation. We too well know that in a inecti% ; to promote Reform, the moment mot one expresses un idea that Annual Parliaments are desirable, those who advocate Triennial Parliaments avoid him us they would a maw under the influence of Foote pesti lentiel disorder, and in derision call him a Radical— on the other hand, if on such as occasion an opinion he given that an Election Triennially would be often enugh, tlte glance of contempt or suspicion accom panies the muttered epithet of " A Why should this he? The advocate. of Reform all wish to promote u shortened duration ofeac:i Parliament, bemuse they well know that is the first, the neces sary, and fundamental step- towards a restitution of those rights and immunities which are included in what was the Eitg,lish Constitution. Well, ;fall go together till triennial slain he substi. - uted for sep tennial Parliaments, much is gained; and those who are oe-tented may secede while those who are the advocates of Annual Election will have a much better chance of success when endeavouring to carry their point, than though they had, as they have at present, to contend against the Septennial Act. Again, one class of Reformers contemplating an extent ion of sclfrage, would have that privilege ex tended to the payers of a certain amount of assessed taxes, another fo all who are rated on the King's books, wh".e a third would have adopted what is termed Universal St.ffrage. he argument that applies to the curtailment of duration, holds equally good when applied to the exteation of the right of voting. Let all woe: to , ether till some concession is obtained—whel FO `1 has been g ranted as any one may think st that iodividtod may retire, wW'e each, hdlowilg his ex,:niple, • - tay cootinue his exertions till the Isint is gained which is in his estimation, as Etr as it is pc dent to go. It' the Reformers would pursue this do:. 0:' e..nluet, •we pledge our most decided opinion thiu. thick pro . .. t ress would be greater that; the moss, satiguine among them anticipates—while they continue to act us they do, Reform may be talked of, but will never be obtained. The New York papers of the 18th ult. ;ire before us, they contain the Message of the l'residont of the Unittd States to both kluuses of Con;rss, and its Englishmen we much regret that justice demands of us the acknowledgment of the great inferiority of of our recent speeches from the throne or 1w Com iniss;vn, when compared with this uhk, enlightened, tair, candid, and satisfactory view or tho state of the American dominions—our late speeches hay^ been a concoction of deception, trick, and sophistry, which is exactly opposed to the honesty and perspicuity of the document in question. Its length fbrb;ds our giving, a present, more than an abstract of it. In those part., which advert to the internat. condition of the Union, the President speaks %via, satisfietion of the improving prosperity, and with con‘idenee of of its increase. His tone, also, is amicaLlc, us res pects the foreign relations of the United Sottes.- 1 .- The; Lerida 4,uestion is not yet settled with Spain. but a friendly adjustment, is anticipated. A brief • allusion is made to the comnidrcial restrictions im posed upon the intercourse betweei. tie United States and the British West India and ~.-aerican Colonies, restrictions, it is observed, which " it is satisfactory to recollect are defensive only,' on the part of the former. It is also added that " the expe. riment is advancing in a spirit of amity between the parties." The question depending between the United States and Great Britain, respecting the construction of the first article of the Treaty of I Ghent, has been referred by both Governments to ' the decision of the Emperor of Russia, " who has accepted the nmpirage." • The discussions between France and the Uitited .S . „ttes respecting the ..new tonnage duty lIIN/11 Fre- ell v. - .;sels, arc to be carried on at Ww.liiil ,, ton, Ai r C.c..

The rapid prsgress of the fortifications erecting along the coasts of the Union, and the increase of the navy, are also dwelt upon with much satisfaction. The I-louse of Representatives found an extraor dinary difficulty in elLetit- .3 x it w Speaker in th room of Mr. Clay, who 'sigut.d. There were four candidates, but the successful one must have an absolute majority of ;he whole number of votes.— The number of bnllo which amounted to 21, is said to be wholly wit! )at any precedent. At last the choice fell upon Mr. John Taylor, who was elected by a majority of four. The Universal Gazette contains a letter of the King of Spain, addressed to the permanent ,depu tation of the Cortes, in which he enlarges on the sacrifice whiCh he made to the public tranquillity, by dismissing ut their request, his Confessor and the Supaintemlant of his Household. In this document he protests that these individuals did not intermeddle wiil politics. Such hull:regent confessors are rather extraorainary when povoquicil of such good materipis.
