El.—Mr. lE:ma presynted a Petition from the Provost, Magistrates, Burghers, arid others of the Burgh of Montrose, praying, that the Home ovoid reject the Bill of Palos and Penalties against the Queen, if it canoe down from the other House of Parliament. He begged leave to make a few obsuer rations in consequence of what lead fallen from the Aletober for Dumfries (Mr. Dou 4 la.), who had urged the necessity not only of restraining the liberty of the press, but of clieckinz the current of nubile' opinion in regard to the Addresses to the Queers which poured in from all quartets of the Kingdom. In the observations wiiich the Honourable Gentleman had thought fit to make. upun the Press in general, he appeared to have forgottum that a part of that Press was under the influence and contront of his Majesty's Ministers. He knew not whither there was any foundation for the lion. but it had been publicly stated that a part of the plate which was formerly in the possession of her Majesty, stamped with the royal arms, had been seen at the table of Mr. Street, the Editor of The Courier. With respect to the manner is which Addresses had been conve)eul to her Ma-, jesty, the observations of the Honourable Gentleman were wholly inapplicable to that carried up by the Corporation of Montrose, for that body went to her Majesty in coaches and four. Ile had himself seen t':e Seamen's Address carried up, and the whole pro e• eding was contlaeted with the greatest propriety. Mr. K. Docot.as said, the Him. 11.1itleinan hail en tirely mistaken the scope of his (Omen mho's. He had expressed no opinion as to the nece•sits of restraining the liberty of the press, bust hr ha,l sail what, as a Member of Parliament he haul a right to say, that the u' a iects of a part of the pie '4 Seethed to he to intinii date Parliament. Mr. Ht'SKISIIION said that the Honourable Gentle. man appeared to allude to him, as having stated on a former occasion that the Ode in question could not be disposed of by any act of the late King. The Hon. Gentleman had stated, not indeed of bis own know iedge, that this plate was now in the hands of an in dividual. lie felt persuaded that soils a statement must be utterly unfounded, and timoi applying to his lion. • Friends :war him, he found that the plate alluded to hafi, weer been out of the custody of the Lord Cham berlain, aitwe it was restored to him upon her Ma jesty's departure from this country. Whether any p'.a . e with the Ru al Arms stamped upon it, was or was not in the possession of all individual , w•..% a fact which he was unable to determine. It might happen that individual was in possession of plate of thistle s,ription, without such plate basing beets presented b) bis Majesty. Mr. Ht etc expressed himself satisfied still' the explanation of the Right Honourable Gentleman. fltere was ooe part of his statement which the Right HAtuarable lientleman had titis-umlerstmal, and wuich he wished to correct. He LA nut said that trie plate was, but that it had been in the possessiun of Mr. Street. PORTUGAL.—Mr.III - mr. said, that in consequence of various reports of an a!arming nature, he wished to kn ow from the Noble Lord oppusitc, the nature of the relations which subsisted at the present moment be tween this country and Portugal ? Lord Cvscarotsson thought it could scarcely be expected that the Members of his 3lajelty's Owen'. meat should be calk) upon to give an opinion upon events whirl' had recently occurred, anti with regard to which, they had in fact received no authentic in 'rotation. Ile hoped that this would he deemed a sufficient . answer to the Honourable Member's question. Mr. BROODIEN brought up the Report of the Com mittee appointed to examine the Lords' Journals with respect to the Queen, which Report described the state of thus:• proceeding% upon the adjourtuuent of • their Lordships' House. Upon the Report being read, Lord Carrtsasa6at moved that the House should at its rising adjourn to Tuesday the 17th of October. By that day be calculated that the House would be able to determine, from the proceedings of the ether House, to what farther period it might he. expedient to adjourn. li the Bill of Pains and Penalties should come down from theother House. it wenld be obviously desirable that that House should be called over, with a view to render the attendance as full as possible ; and, t ieretiore, he thought it proper to mention his inten tion to propose that the House should be called over early in November. Mr. Hums thought that, if it were possible, the ad journment should now be fixed for each a period as should afford die Lords an opportunity of deciding up on the fate of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. This he conceived the better mode pf consulting the con venience of the House, and therefore he took leave to suggest to the Noble Lord the propriety of fixing upon some more distant day. Lord 4 as ritettaan conceived it more advisable to adjourn to the day stated in the motion, and thee it would be open to the Mame as Is Ural sow day in Picoreguber ahem it might be conveelent to wet for UM , dispatels of badmen. - ll3s giew was, that if the Biller' Pains aad Penalties ,should -he adapted by the makkl edeeti Ilemsse."that - friestday - flw railed OW. three weeks *Mewed** as is a ease of seek it was oh accessary that as little delay 1 81141 A ble ebeekl be up sake place.

An official report from Trapani, of the 16th August, stater. that the country in that part of the island was infested with robbers ; bat that they had lately expe rienced a considetable check, haring been pursued by some soldiers and armed citizens. The following anecdote is related of the Duke de C•Lsnats. Some infuriate persons proposed to avenge the massacre of the Neapolitans in Sicily, by murdering all the Sicilians who remitted at Naples. After ineffectually endeavouring to pr vent their fe rocious deign!, the Duke said, " Very well, since you are resolved on vengeance, begin with my three suns, who were born in Sicily." At the same time, he shewed them the room where his family was. His generous conduct had the desired effect, and restrained their fury.

The Commois met yesterday pursuant to adjourn tient, and adjourned again to the 17th of October. .t sitJtion, in the first instance, was made by the ('Slant risme of the EXCIILQI'ICK, that a Committee should be appointed to search the Lords' Journals, with reference to their Lordships' proceedings on the Bill of Pains and Penalties. This was a motion of mere form, to put the Noose in legal possession of the proceedings ; butt it was nevertheless resisted in the outset, and a motion Was substituted by 31r. Hon- Horst:, that an Address should be presented to his 31.v.tcs rv, praying hint forthwith to prorogue the Parliament. Our readers are aware, that the effect of a prorogation would be, sirtnally, to destroy the Bill of Pains and Penalties. This motion was successfully resisted by the Ministry, anti they had the weight of of nuniltrrs: but the weight of talent and of argu ment was decidedly with the Minority. A stronger proof of this assertion cannot be given than the cit.- (antistatic,. that Lo-t 1 CASTLaGEAGII, the Minister of Verb, the wall who has increased rather than im proved our language by words which never came from English lips before ; that this Nobleman, on getting en his legs, knew not what to say. " Ile declared, that the arguments were so extraordinary, that one could not well know how to meet them." This was notindrrd his Lordship's political dying speech ; but it was a confession is hich never cattle front hint before, upon any our of the nutuerous debates in which he has been engaged. !mired, if the proceedings of last night arr to he considered as a specimen of the recep tion which the Ministry will receive in the L'ommons, . they are in so pitiable a condition that they may as well put themselves in the Liturgy, and whether they do so or nut, they will hare an undoubted right to our pity, though nut to our prayers. Nut fur their wealth, Jail their office and patronage added to it, ovo id we take their places during the proceedings in the Com mons. The meeting of the House yesterday. u-as no- I to be for a merely formal purpose ; only I? rut-tubers of the opposition divided ; and yet we had a . confession from Lord Viscount CasrLaacian, that he knew not how to meet the arguments of his adversaries. The !louse of Commons evidently will he perfectly unmanageable, al Id the Bill he brought before them. '1 he language used tut wards the liar; nt last night, was the strongest we ever hearth. The proceedings of the Upper House were examined nits great freedom ; and even the individual c tact of its members w as c an t mented upon with extreme severity. Several weathers of the Commons told the Minister., to their Lees, that the whole proceeding was a conspiracy. They bore this with exemplary Christian patience. One member said that the .thortiey-lleneral had disgraced hint%rlf; the member added be would repeat defiles " had disgraced himself. by his conduct in ascii. proceedings." The Attorney-General rose to resent this language, when (lo: and behold!) another *ember repeated it ; awl we tunst bear in mind that this language can only be applicable to the Perlis *eatery proreedings ; fur the Attorney-Beneral is, in private life, a gentleman t deservedly respected ; owl that eiremnstance cannot but give additional weight to the reflection upon hint as a public officer. la short, a third Member spoke out, at once, about Ilerrimination ;" and, it is therefore not impossible, that Mr. Wtanneroacs: may have another motion to Make, " for the preservation of the public anorals." The Minister of words fell sc. low last night, that he wits compelled to grasp at an "if." "If, said his Lordship, the whole is a conspitacy against the alt-rev, then"—what Own, du you think, reader " Why, then •he witnesses have tlee 'iced those who were Sell; out by tiovermtiesit !" We will take it upon his Lordship's %typo sill -11. 1 f then, a tin *beret ruffnew.uowl-disearded servants have volunteered their falsehoods against the glitaNt ; and if these mcn hare not been punished, but on the contrary hare been paid, fed, pampered and encou raged, who can say that such encouragement may not induce an equal weather of ruffians and discardA servants to trump up a number of false:toods against the Kiwis, anti carry these false hoods with all the strength which perjury can give them, to the Qucas's friends As the first supposed conspiracy has been encouraged, the second might improve upon it ; and possibly there are people in existence, inhabitants of the must notorious stews and brothels, who would leave the audacity to conic, and say, and swear, to acts of the most din. gusting profligacy on the part of the KING. If such wretches could be found, we should propose the flog ging them from tything to tything, at the least ; but then, for the sake of Justice, we should propose the much more severely punishing those who had laid the foundation fur such wickedness, by rewarding it when it was directed against the Qt LEN.

The services of our ark,. hearted seamen hare long since been foregotten by t h e Ministerial Junta. They now think themselves ss es indebted to the army, and therefore cry out " foe the land service Forgettieg Demean. Nessom, Howe, sad Jun.- But the land service will most probably be foreoties I n its torn. We way judge of this by the 'areas'' which hare been thrown out on the Leicester militia The Editor of The New Time. is excessively 'ho r ne t ,' at theattachment evinced by the privates of this mili6 s towards their Queen ; and calls that a " slavish trine" which allows them a right to express their al, t:schment to her Majesty and their abhorrence of ti e treatment she has experienced ; because, he observe, " the first care of every enlightened friend to liberty has always been to prevent armed bodies from delihe. rating." The Doctor may preach in this way as lotg, as he pleases; but who does he think will lines is such trash, except the servile herd who, like himself, endeavour to stifle every spark of humanity (if in fart they hare any), and sophisticate theumseltes iota esery thing that is base and contemptible.

Rut deliberation in fa vour of time KING and in favour of the QUEEN is vies ed in a very different light by the Ministerial prints. The one is considered by them a• loyal and patriotk, the other as disaffected and revolutionary. talk of modifiers not deliberating indeed! Who is to permit them ? or who is to prevent any descr'prion of men from deliberating? Not the sapient and learned gel tlemen at the head of the Aduminlstration of this roue try. If they have fully eimongh to keep embodied an immense military force in an island which requires no inch means for her defence, let the simpletons suffer the consequences. They cannot, by putting a red jacket on a man's back, prevent him from thinking, nor from acting either ; and when once the balance of power rests with the military, they will no doubt exercise it as they may think fit. " But," continues the Edits!. of The .Vock Times, " our Constitution has wisely foreseen these evils, and therefore has piorided that the armed force :raven can deliberate." It might as well have provided that the sun shall never ?hint apes us, or that the tide shall never tlow into the River Thames. ••a •ea. Sallsbaq -street, &rasa, Sept. IS. ISIO. TOR A-1.16.

Lord F. °anoint took occasion to ask the Noble Lord, whether it was the intention of his Majesty's tioverunsent, as he understood, to omit the clause of Divorce in the Bill of Paths ■nd Penalties ? By the Act of Edward 111. the Princess of Wales and the Queen stood in the same with regard to adultery. But if the conduct of the Princess of Wales were taken out of that Act, she was placed in the rendition of any ordinary woman, and could only be proceeded against according to the ordinary laws of the country. On this ground he asked, whether, if her case were to be taken out of the statute of Edward, was it still want. to press that her Majesty si Id be ileprived of her rank and pri‘ileges ": To this question, as well as to the point with respect to the clause of Divorce, he wished the Noble Lord to make some answer, in order that the House ,whit be aware what sort of measure it should I►e prepared to receive upon this subject. Lord CtAILIKAZAIII4 thought that the last question put by the Noble land with respect to the statute of Edward would rather form a part of the argument upon the discussion of the measure alluded to, than a question to which Le could be called upon to make any reply. As to the other question, lie hoped the House would feel the delicacy and difficulty in which he would be involved if called upon to answer for the statements of his Noble Colle:otste in the other (louse. —(Hear, hear.)—liiit what he understood bit Noble Friend to have said on the occasion alluded to wets this. that he was not disposed to press the clause ofl divorce.
