He had lately seen a Note and Declaration of the Russian Court, respecting the re cent affairs in Spain, which rendered it essential for him to pot a series of questions to Noble Lords on the' other side, in order to ()Utah!, if possible, some ex planation as to what wait there stated respecting communications with this and other Governments. The Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Govern r—nt might probably have Ids head filled at the pre s.set moment.

He gave notice that he should very shortly call the attention of their Lordships to this subject. The Earl of Ltrcaroot. observed, that as the Noble 1140 old postponed putting his questions, he could oily ler that be should be ready. when those questions were-ports to give a satisfactory explanation upon the anhject to which they referred. He could not, how eviir, let the neelisittn pats without observing that there nothing whatever in the relations between this country and Spain that had the slightest tendency to produce hostilities, Or which was at all likely to lead to any war in which this country could be en- gaged.

The following Petition of the Corporation of Lon don was this day presented, with the usual formalities, to the liouse . of Lords : To the Right Rononrahlt the !Ards Spiritual and Teeporal, in Parhangout assembled. The hatable Petition of the Lord Mayor. Ald►finess, and Commons of the City of London, iu Common Council assembled, Sbeweth—That your Petitioners are informed that a Bill is now in progress through your Lordships' House. by the preamble of which her Majesty the Queen is iharged.irith having carried on am adulterous inter course with a person sawed .Bergatai. And is further accused •of the most licentious conduct, since her de parture.froin PAgland in the year ISM That the Bill purports to deprive her Majesty of her title opts, dignity as Queen, and to annul the marriage AA* has for 25 years subsisted with his most grails/kw' Majesty. That your Petitioners have always considered Bins of Pains and Penalties as contrary to the constitutional jurisprudence of England; and they, therefore, Most respectfully state to your Lordships, that'they have viewed the proceedings in question with the deepest regret and alarm; and that actuated by the firmest attachment to the p►inciples of the constitution, and by the most ardent affection for the lions, of Bruns wick, feel it their duty, most humbly, to represent to your Lordships their conviction, that this measure militates against the acknowledged rules of justice and equity, and is calculated to weaken the stability of the throne. Your Petitioners, deeply impressed with the appre hension that by persisting in these measures, the peace, the security and welfare of the realm may be endan gered, and the surresgion to the Crown itself weakened and impaired, most humbly pray your Right Honour able House, that an investigation of such vital im portance to the State may be conducted upon principles more consonant to the established rates of Jurisprudence, and calculated to enhince the loyalty and attachment of the people to the Illustrious House of Brunswick. And they entreat your Lo►dships to afford her Majesty those means of dcfonce which see indispensable to the proof of innocence, and to re ject the Bill of Pains and Penalties a• wholly inappli cable to the present times, and as totally unfit to Mail% the ends of Justice. f• COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. The following is a copy of the Petition of the Free holders of the County of Middlesex, presented this day by the Duke of Waster to tho-Dommokof Lords To the Lords Spirfbntl ►nd Temporal of dm Uake*lag• doe in Parliament assembled. The Ramble Pedigo!' of the Freeholders of NUMlommt. We, the Freeholders of the County of Iliddlesex, beg leave with the most humble submissiog to eelrs sent to your Lordships, that the Bill of dins and Penalties which has lately been introdriorti into four most Hononrablelloitse, in order to deprive her Ma jesty the Queen of her Ifigh title and dignity, and to annul the marriage between her Majesty and oar most gracious King, appears to your Petitioners to be unfi constitutional in its principle, and tending to bring the highest judicial administration of the country Into disrepute. If the Queen Consort of these realms be a subject, her Majesty ought at least to have the same advantage as other subjects. If other subjects have the protec- I tion of the lairs, both Ecclesiastical and Civil, her Majesty ought not to be deprived of that protection which is • shield to inferior subjects,' particularly when they are accused of crimes to which the most grievous penalties are annexed. We humbly implore your Isordshipsto consider that a Bill of Pains and Penalties in its operations against the illustrious accused, places her Majesty entirely out of the protection of all the known and exlstins laws. We request your most Honorable House to renew her, that the Oovernment of these realms is adminis tered by a King. whose power is limited ; bat that • regal power so limited, if combised with an military legislation, is incompatible with liberty. The Bill of Pains and Penalties. plus kg Kir jesty, the Queen, appears to us, year padiedbre. ea act of power, which, in its spirit and eharsebitr, Is loss in unison with the nature of a limited monarchy . ; final of a monarchy which has no - Limitations.

Yesterday. being the day Appointed for the removal of her Majesty from Brandenbyrgh House to her new residesce, the house of Lady Francis, in St.James's square, a great crowd assembled there at an early hour, attracted by curiosity to witness the arrival of her Majesty, as also the arrival of the several Deputa tions charged to present Addresses, viz, those of the Married Ladies, Greenwich, and the Borough of Ayles bury. The concourse continued to increase until the space between the houses and the railing of the cen tral inclesure was almost tilled up, extending itself, in irnrgalat' divisions, to the contiguouss corners of the square, and auementing its numbers in greater pro portionsio the hour of twelve o'olock, the expected hoar of her arrival, approached. The appearance of this multitude .was in general respectable, and their conduct that of silent and respectful attention. The windows of Lord Castlereugh'i boast. next door were ahmely skarnis from the ground door to the attic. The Aitr!aes colttaining the Deputation of Married Ladies Jai ap *a, the south side of Leicester-square, to the mdasifir'orlle, each containing four Ladies. They ap peared in general young and handsome. In this ' juation they. awaited her Majesty's arrival. At a - Auarter past twelve o'clock the approach of the Queen was'announced by the hutting of a vast multitude of persons from Piccadilly and Pair -mall, and other western ...mines, through the latter street. Her Majesty's Cif- Riar came into the square amid the acclamations of the multitude assembled. The Queen appeared pale, but smiled, and seemed tuost excellent health. At one o'clock the carriages of the Deputation of Married Ladies entered the square by the eastern side, opposite her Majesty's house, and were received by the crowd with the must deafening shout of applause, and as each carriage drew up to the door to set down, the salutation was repeated with undiminished effect. The scene, viewed from the eastern angle of the square, was of the most animated character ; the workmen employed in repairing one of the houses on that side had left their work, and seated on the top of the stone parapet to gate at the multitude assembled below them, added not a little to the effect of the whole. The Address of the Married Ladies was read by Mrs. Thelwall, and is as follows: "To Tat nrsur's NOWT BICCELLENT lIAJIWIT.
