Rom the salaries of the Keeper of the Privy Purse, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward, the Master of the Robes, and the Master of the Horse, which will effect a re duction of 30,0001. per vtuitim ; and on this their toad-eaters, their patasites, offer them their congra• tulaions—but how is praise due tc them fin. this confined cflint of retrenchment? Let diem, if they really mean to " deserve well of their country," submit the Civil List, amounting to more than a million annually, to a Committee, not nominated by themselves, hut fairly and impartially ekcted— and let them accede to every reduction which that committee tdiall declare practicable. On the motion of I.ord Normanby for the reduction of one of the joint Postmasters General, the I lonourable Frederia Robinson boldly asserted, what had never betiire 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 Ministers to insure votes in support of their measures, but no one till Mr. Robinson ever went so far as to declare to the face of the country, that the retention of ail oll:ce, confes.sedly useless, was requisite to . u , sure by the patronage it ccnferred, that sort of s -- F.,` 'Or . Tilly NATIONAL REGISTER influence which might enable Ministers to induce Ammar/6k 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 at this unadvised candour on the put 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, fur the express purpose of increasing in that House the influence of the Crown—we arc 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 constituerts. Lora Normanby on Thursday; night declared his intention to bring the subject again before 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 Coutroul, with a view to a reduction of the Commissioners, met a similar fue ; but this cannot astonish any one who will look im partially at the constitution of that House which airogates to itself the title of the Representatives of the People—every dad shews more and more the nccessi!y 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. THE DIAMONDS—Many obscure allusions have I 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:—llis Majesty pre sented, s o me t ime 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 decuratioa of the person of the Marchioness, who replied, that she considered it more appropriate to Lady Francis, and that she wanted a thastoNso Srumacusli—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 was reserved, as it is supposed, until a propitious opportunity should occur for the COM. munic4ion of so unpleasant a document.--l» the interim, however, a second application was made at the Tncasury for payment, and the Earl of Liverpool went immediately to Brighton, where finding his letter bud not reached its destination, he protested against any intervention betwecn his Majesty and his Ministers, and in consequence of Lord Liverpool's sternness on the subject, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield's dismissal teuk 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 Benjimin nobly replied, that if his services were no longer required, he could have no possible claim to be paid fin. them. Sir Benjamin is succeeded by Lord rancis Conyngham, a younger sun of the Mar chioness of Conyngham !!! By the ship //onto . , 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 800 invalids. Forty thousand stand of arms have fallen into the hands cf tht , Patriots. At ytesent Guido is the attx; • Governor of Culluo, and the greatest tranquillity reigns at Lima. Vessels were not permitted tu com mence discharging till the ath October. (1. tom the EIMAIII Pah ikol of Feb. 13.) Commodore Ch..ytor, of the Buenos Ayres brig Indepaideowia, arrived ut Churl. stun, 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 whole of the Spanish American coast, from Cumana all along the Spanish Main to Vera Cruz, with the provinces of Gigaton, Guatamala, &c. have achieved and settled their in- dependence. Extract of a letter from Montreal :—" The legis. laturc of Upper Canada has voted 2,0001. to defray the expellees of the Attorney-General on his visit to London, in order to lay their complaints against our I louse of Assembly respecting their share 44f the pro vincial duties; and it is now conGdently 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 determined to bring a Bill into Parliament to re. unite the two provinces." The Paris papers of IVednesday last have arrived, bringing the preliminary decision of the Tribunal of First Instance, in the suit between M. Lalitte and Messrs. Bertrand and Montholon. It will be 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 Buona 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 tornies 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 Messrs. Bertrand and Montholon, being declared not entitled to receive it, are ordered to pay costs. It appears that no serious disposition to further tumult has shown itself in connexion with the sub ject of the missionaries since our last accounts. Four or five Jens Warms were able to disperse in a mo ment the only assemblage that was formed on Tues day in the Place des Victories. Gen. Berthon, as is stated in a letter from Par thenay, had a narrow escape on the 6th inst. lie had left a farm-house before day-light that morning, and at nine a.m. an officer arrived in pursuit of him. The General is described to have been disguised, unattended, and alarmed for his personal 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. BREACH 0I•' P11.11.11.1..GE. The following is a copy of the Treasury Circular to in the House of Commons on Friday evening, Ly Lord John Russell, as a breach of pri vilege : (PRIVATE) • Downing t-trvet, Stli Mareli, 1821. DEAn Sin,—On Wedsiesday next, the 13th instant, a motion is nt be made by Lord Norma:My, to abolish die okice of 4/TIC of tl:c Postmasters General. and on the 14th, the day titl lowing, Mr. Cfeevey snakes a similar motion against the Board of Contmul. In this manner the just and necessary influence of the Crown is front day to day attacked; :ant as other motions of si sinulat ravuie ate to be made by Lord Alikorp, &c. it will be quite impossible for any set of men to conduct the Governmt.nt of this country, sinless practices of this kind shall be successfully it:tasted. It steins as i 1 the Opposition, in despair of routing into 44fice, had determined to break down the mans of administering the allails of the country ; and as this subject is become most sezious, I have no actuple in apprising you of what is now passing, with the hope and expectatton that you will think it necessary to at tend, and thus to lend your aid in stemming the torrent of such titatgetous innotution.—Yours, most s incerely, C. ARBUTHNOT. It is reported that a violet-coloured diamond has lately Leon purchased by bi 3 Majesty for 20,0001. and that Mr- Edlasou, o: Ilatton-gardtn, is setting it. --=~ ~i r : - _
