Tns march of Freedom is sure, though sometimes slow ; and Revolution appears to be the certain follower of Tyranny and Oppression. The entire change at Naples was effected without bloodshed, and by the very means intended, by almost all Governments, to check the rise of rational liberty— by the soldiers. In Spain the cause proceeds better than could have been expected. The sitting of the Cortes attracts general attention, and it is gratifying to perceive that the Revolution must be perpetuated by the voice of the People, and the support of the Country, in spite of the machi nations of its degenerate enemies, and insidious and refractory Monks. On the 10th instant an Address to the King was read and approved by the Cortes. After congratulating him upon his compliance with the unanimous wishes of the nation, it assures him of their undisguised attachment to his august per son and family, and of their firm co-operation to consolidate the political Constitution, and to redeem the errors of an erroneous system. Ferdinand, we hope, will be able to appreciate the blessing of re►gning over a free people, and of being rescued from the trammels of those who preferred their own ascendancy and personal aggrandisement to the wel. fare and true interests of the State. The Address, in referring to the South American territories, says --" The intimate union of the Cortes with your Majesty's Government, the, reestablishment of the Constitution, and the faithful accomplishment of promises, by removing all pretext for distrust, will facilitate the pacification of our transmarine pos sessions. The Cortes, on its side, will let no op portunity escape to propose and adopt the necessary measures for the observance of the Constitution, sod to re.establish tranquillity in those regions, in THE NATIONAL REGISTER order to unite the Slitting of both hemispheres in one happy family." These observations arc rather. vague. Nothing short, we believe, of the acknow ledgment of their complete independence - will satisfy the Patriots of South America. They have fought and conquered, and have tasted the sweets of liberty, and will not cagily submit to the domination of the Mother Country, though revolutionized, and pre senting that lofty situation among the nations of Europe that it ought. After the reading of the Address the Minister of Pardon and Justice an nounced, that the King had deemed it necessary to secure the persons of sixty-nine individuals who had signed the Address to King Ferdinand against the Constitutional System of 1814, and that they were confined in various Convents. All political feeling in England is centered in the subject of the Queen. The Houses of Parlia ment have adjourned till the preparations for the investigation are cotnplevd. On the 17th of August it will commence—she will be put on her trial in entire ignorance of her crime, her accusers, the time, and the scene of her guilt—yet this must be just, for the Loans will have it so ; and " they are all—all Honourable Men . 1 " We have been told that the law is the same in England for the King and the Beggar."—for us, being more likely to belong to the latter than to the former class, we are inclined to rejoice that it is not so. We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. They have been at length admitted by the Censors of the Press to notice the Revolution in Naples. The Members of the Junta are already nominated, and chiefly consist of persons who filled official situations under King Murat. A private letter from Naples, of the 10th instant, says, that the Revolution was undertaken, executed, and ter minated wi:hout the people being able to guess what was in agitation. Had it been otherwise, the whole population would have been in motion to forward a change so necessary to their future comfort and hap piness. The delay of eight days granted to the King in the first instance, fur preparing 41 id pub lishing the fundamental articles of the Coustitutiun, was considered too long by the prime movers of the Revolution, and they demanded that the Constitu tion and the Cortes (as in Spain) should be pro claimed in twenty-four hours. In this they were perfectly right, to prevent intrigues, and their pa triotic objects from being frustrated. The king, making a virtue of necessity, yielded up the reins of government, even to an abdication of the Kingly power, for a time, to his son the Duke of Calabria, who without hesitation granted instantly all that was demanded. To prevent foul play, however, the King was obliged to affix his own signature, which certainly would have been more gracious had it been done in the first instance, to prevent the Royal sin. eerily /rum being doubted. The Provisional Junta is composed of fifteen Members, before whom his Majesty, according to his decree, and all the Princes of the blood, are to take the oath to the new Con stitution of the Monarchy, which oath is to be re iterated before the National Parliament when duly convoked. The King has taken for Minister of the Interior, M. Zurlo ; for Minister of Finance, M. Macedonio ; for Minister of Justice, M. Ricciardi : for Minister of War, M. Culaascosa ; for Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Campochiari ; fur Ambussa. dor at Paris, M. Pignatelli ; all these individuals formed part of Murat's Government.—These are all men of talent, in whom the people have confi dence, and who will take care and be well prepared against any re-action; if any such should be contem plated by the enemies of the Liberties and Inde pendence of the Country. There are accounts from Madrid to the 13th of July in the Paris Papers.— The meeting of the Cortes having put the Consti tutional System in full operation, the Supreme Provisional Junta hiss been dissolved. The Mem bers have addressed, on the occasion, a farovel I Pro- 245 clarnation to the People, full of the proudest antici ptions of the future. Madrid is crowded with strangers of all nations particularly English. L.IW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. Lincoui's INN. OATUAUAY, JULY 29. The Lord Chancellor come into Court at half put ten o'cicek. COLE IN THE MATTER OP COLE AEU GALPIN, BANKRUPTS. Mr. Hurt stated this was the Petition of Mr. Cole t the circumstances of the case he was sure were in his Lordship's recollection. 'the Petitioner had been nslatioocr in Fleet. • Street, and retired fr busines with a large fortune, but • unfortunately allowed his name to remain in the business wi It that of the bankrupt Galpin. who had accepted Bills in the name of the firm to a large 11111011111, which were disposed of by a person of the name of Kinuear, for a usurious consider ation, and a commissi 111 l of bankruptcy issued wised M... Cole toi account of their bills, be not hitting any knowledge of the transaction. His Lordship had allowed Mr. Cole to enter into piovisiiin of horstate in Hampshire, on his paying a sumer money into the Accountant-General's Office cient to cover the debts of the firm; since which several actions had been tried, and the bills accepted by. Galpin declared to be invalid. What the petition sought was, that Mr. Cole might be at liberty to draw the money he h ad de limited in the Aceountant-General's °thee, there being now 111/ claim on it. The Lord Chaneellor—" Lti it hot 30." Alloticogranted. " By the next ship 1 will send you a detailed account of laird Cochrane's capture of Valdivia, which in my • opinion, ecpials, if it does not exceed, any exploit of the kind ever lielore performed. At present 1 have only dine to say, that in the hands of our people it is•itnpregnable. , Valdivia is defended by no less than IS forts, soplaced in respect to one another,' that no ship could remain half an hour in the bay, much less could ally one lie at an- • chor there. These forts mount upwards of !Du pieces of cannon, most of them 24-pounders, and most of them having furnaces to heat shot. The contimuneation one fort with another is iu many places only a very-nar row defile, composed of large rough stones, and tortuous.' paths of greakdeclivity. A couple of pieces of cannon would render any one of them utterly impracticable to' any number of men. A handful of men might prevent. the landing of any number of men, even if boats were' allowed to approach the shore ;.but no boat could ad vance within cannon-shot without being subjected to a• cross fire, and instantly sunk. The beach is beset to the • very water's edge with hushes and shrubbery, by meats' of which, even when a landing was effected, a small • number of men might securely remain, and cut oft the invaders on the beach. Spite of all these obstacles Lord- Cochrane boldly entered the harbour with a brig and a• schooner, on board of which he had crammed 320-men. With this force, at night-fall, he attacked one of th e forts, landed his 1111t11, heating the Spaniards before him, and carried the small fort, the enemy in the other torts the sitsek with contempt on account of hiss Lordship's small force. But such was the impetuosity of the Chilinos, and the very few Englishmen who were with them, that they drove the Spaniards through the fort, mixed with them, carried another forte and -struck, such terror into the Spaniards, who had but the momaut before despised them that in a panic they abandoned' their post, and fort a fter fort fell into the hands of Lord Cochrane. In the morning the Spaniards were lost his astonishment at what had happened, bet it was then too late, the whole of the forts as well as the town were its possession of Lord Cochrane, and nothing remained but quiet submission. Tne Governor, with about 500 men had fled into the interior, leaving behind hint the mili tary standards, the military chest of the Spanish army of the South, and the whole of the stores and ammunition. About lOU men, with their Colonel, were taken loners: and in the bay a large fine ship, deeply ladeu, called the Dolores, was captured. Lord Cochtame, hay.. log planted the Chilian flag it, the great spuare sum. moiled the people to meet and chose their own Governor. All private property was strictly respected, and the in habitants, delighted as well with •the sudden anti pr4_ted change, as with the unexpected forbearance ut their conquerors, expressed their attachment to tile new GOVerffillellt by every des tonstratimt in their power Thus has the only place wntelt the Spaniards possessed North of Chili been emancipated, and the few melt (bey have in this province must speedily submit." Report says, that Sir John Leach, for his recent services (not in the Chancery Court), is to be cre ated a Peer, under the title of Prospero, Duke of Milan. His cuts-paw in the dirty work is to be ho- - noured by the title of Lord Conban. We have no doubt but that the feelings of compunction in a once honourable mind may have already fulfilled the threat of " filling all his bones with aches:' Attempt to Asset:lmage the Duke of Athol.—On Tuesday, the 18th instant, an attempt was made by a man, named, James Murray, to assassinate his Grace the Duke of Athol. Murray, under a pre tence of important business, had procured an midi. • ence of his Grace, at one of the lodges leading to Dunkeld-house, where he handed his Grace a letter, containing some unreasonable demands, and which firther stated, that, unless his Grace complied with them in a few minutes, he would shoot him with a pistol. The Dole, with sing, , Alar fortitude, and great presence of tzin,l, seized the as Murray drew it fPom his pocket, and, calling on some of his attendants, Murray was inimukstely snunz.:l a►.a brow; tt to the poi at Perth.
