MONDAY, JULY IL THE march of Freedom is sure, though sometimes slow and Revolution appears to be the certain tidlower 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 hint 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 reigning 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 ---A• The intimate union of the Cortes with your Majesty's Government, the rc•establisluncnt of the Constitution, and the iiiithful accomplishment of promises, by removing all pretext fbr 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, And to re-est Alibi) t;•,imptillity in those pl;i•);;,:, in j THE NATIONAL REGISTER order to unite the Spains of both hemispheres in one happy family." These observations are rather vague. Nothing short, we believe, of the acknow. ledgment of their complete independence will satisfy the Patriots of South America. They have f►ught and conquered, and have tasted the sweets of liberty, and will not easily 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 sired 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 completed. On the I 7th of August it will commence—she will be put on her trial in entire ignorance of her crime, her accusers, the time, ;lad the :4_ctie of her guilt—yet this must be just, tbr the Loci's %%ill have it so; and " they are all—all Honourable Men !" We have been told that the law is the same in England fur the King and the Beggar."—for Ili, being more likely to belong to the latter than to the tlirmcr class, we are inclin-xl 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, execnted, and ter minated wi:hoat the people being able to guess what was in agitation. lied 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 I King in the first instance, for preparing and pa's. Halting the fundamental articles of the Constitution, was considered too long by the prime movers of the Revolution, and they demanded that the Constitu tion. and the Cartes (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 au 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 cerity front being doubted. The Provisional Junta is composed of fifteen Members, LeFors; whom his Majesty, according to his decree, and all the Princes of the blond, 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 Minider of Finance, M. Macedonio ; fur Minister of Justice, M. Ricciardi : for Minister of War, M. Cabascosa ; for Minister of Foreign M. Campochiari ; for Amba,sa dor at Paris, M. Piguatelli ; nll these individuals formed part of Murat's Government.—These are all men of tideat, in whom the people have confi dence, and who will take care and Le 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 arc aeanints from Madrid to the I:3th of July in the Paris Papers.— The meeting of the Cortes having put the Consd. tational System in full operation, the Suptvine Provisional Junta has been dissolved. The Mem -I,crs have addressed, in the occasion, it fircwell Pr!, _ . .~,..:~_ clamation to the People. full of the proudest antici pations of the future. Madrid is crowded with strangers of all nations particularly English. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CH A NCERY. LINCOLN'iI INN. — 1 fiaTURD•Y s JULY 29.

Mr. Hart stated • this was the Petition of Mr. Cole; the circtnu•tances of the case he was sure were all his Lordship's recollection. The Petitioner haul been a stationer iu Fleet- Street, and retired from busbies with a !aro fortune, but unfortunately allowed his name to remain in the husiiieirs with that of the bankrupt Galpiii. who had accepted Hills in the 11:11/le of the firm to a large amount, which were disposed of by a person ut the name of K homer, for a usurious consider ation, and a commission of bankruptcy Issued against Mr. Cole on account of their bills, he not having nay kelowledge of the transaction.

The Lord Chancellor—" Let it be so." 11l titian granted. By the I s o m ship I will send you a detailed account of Lord Coe:tense's capture! of Valdivia, seinen in my (Timm', equals, if it does 1110 exceed, any exploit of the kind ever liehne periurined. At present I have only time to say, that in the hawk of our people it is impregnable. Valdis is is delended by no less than 1.5 forts, so placed in recpect to one another, than r.o ship could remain half an hour in the bay, much It-s: caitild• any one lie at &In dio& there. These torts mount upwards of 100 pieces of caution, moat of them 2-1-pounders, and most of them having furnaces to heat shot. The communication of flue tort with another is in many places only a very nar row defile, composed of large rough stones, and tortuous paths of great declivny. A couple of pieces of cannon would render ally one of them utterly iturracticalile to any number of men. A handful amen might oreveot the landing of thy number of men, even if boats were Illt/Wed to approach the shore ; but no boat could ad vance witliin estitinll-..hot without being subjected to a • cross fire, and nisi:only sunk. The heath is beset to th , v. very water's edge with hushes and shrubbery, by means • of which, even when a landing was :fleeted, a small number of Melt iii ht securely remain, and cut oft the invader.: on tie! beach. Spite of all these obstacles Lord Cochrane boldly entered die harbour with a brig and a schooner, on boar.' of which he had crammed 320 men. With this force, at night-fall, he attacked one of the forts, landed his men, heating the Spanisrds before hint , ! and carried the small fort, the enemy in the other torts !resting the attack with contempt tin account of 11;s Lordship's small force. But such was the impetuosity of the Chilinos, and the very few Euglishmen who were • with them, that they drove the Spaniards through the fort, mixed with them, carried another fort, and struck such terror into the Spaniards, who had but the moment before despised them, that in a panic they abandoned! their post, and fort a fter fort fell min the hands of Load Cochrane. I n the morning the Spaniards were lost irs astonishment at what had happened, but it was then toga late, the whole of the forts as well as the town were in possession of Lord Cochrane, and nothing remained but quiet submission. Toe Governor, with about 500 men had tied into the interior, leaving behind him the mili tary standards, the military chest el the Spanish army of the South, arid the whole of the stoles and.ammunition. About ton men, with their Colonel, were. taken pri soners : and in the bay a large line ship, deeply laden. . called the Dolores, was captured. Lord Cochtene,liay. Mg planted the Chilian flag in the great soilage sum. mooed the people to meet and chose their own Governor.- All private property was sti icily respected, and the :in. haleurits, delighted as well w.iii the sudden amid onex peeled change, as with the utiospected forbearance of their conquerors, expressed their attacnininit to the new Government by every demonstration in their power. Thins has the only place-which the Spaniards psosaessed North of Chili been ematicipated, and the few man they Lave in this-provinecnust speedily submit." Report says, that Sir John Leach, fi,r kis recent services (not in the Chancery Court), is to be cre ated a Peer, under the title of Prospero, Dalec of Milan. I lis cats-paw in the dirty work is to h.: ho noured by the title of Lord Co!Main. NVe have no doubt but that tim feelings of compunction in a once honourable mind may have already fulfilled the threat of '' filling all his bones with aches." Attempt to Assassinote the. Duke of .Ith3l.—Otl Tuesday, the 18th instant, an attempt was made by a man, named James Murray, to assassinate his Grace the Duke of Athol.
