MAI/RID, •LRRUARY 1. Dun Paidoxi is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at Paris, in the place of General Alava, who has reigned. A new rause of agitation mists here.

THE i 3 Si 1 ,1444 la a ,§1.0,"1 • • • %Ilia n• - - LONDON, .s ....me . - •LJ r iati: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1821. p ........-.... The question respecting the exclusion of tl.e Quaca's Haste from the Liturgy, according to the service of the Church of England, having been determined by the. House of Commons in favour of the Ministers, it only remained to ascertain the „right of the Crown to visit her Nl•Jesvir with a -similar indignity in Scotland. For this purpose Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON moved lust night for the production of the Order in Council directed to the General Assembly of Scotland, commanding the erasure of the Quess's name from the public prayers of the National Church. He also moved fur the production of all cor respondence with the Office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, respecting the • military arrest of a clergyman in Scotland, who had presumed to invoke a blessing upon her MA• JIIIITY. The Noble Lord rested the strength of - his case chiefly upon the illegality of such an in. terference by the Crown in the internal concerns • of the Church of Scotland, but lie alto comment ed very felicitously upon the absurdity of an order fbr erasing a name limn prayers which were hot in existence. The Presbyterian Church of Scot land uses no written form of prayer, the clergy men exercise their talents as occasion requires in an extempore effusion, conceiving that such a mode is better calculated to excite a religious feeling in the minds of a congregation than any well known form of words. It is likewise a principle of that Church to disclaim the interference of temporal powers in spiritual affairs; the Order in Council, therefore, was at once an attack upon one of the most cherished principles of the Church of Scotland, and a proofuf the neglect of the Ministers previously to ascertain the nature of the !tosser they were about to exercise. The motion, however, was rejected, for ori a' division there appeared, for the Motion only 35 ; and against it Ito. This decision of the House concurring with those previously formed on the subject of the exclusion of the QUEEN'S name from the Liturgy of the Church of England, will probably terminate the discussions in the House of Commons rerpecting the treatineut oilier MAJESTY. Although we A ould riot proceed to the length of voting with Mr. CREEVEY, against granting any supplies to the Government fin meeting the exi gencies of the current beryl( es until the estimates fit the year had been presented to the House of Commons, we yet agree with him that the House and the ("notary have cause to complain that so much of the Session should have been suffered to elapse without some distinct ',issuance having been given to Parliament of the intentions of his MA. JESTY'i Ministers respecting the lollillie and degree of the retrenchment which was promised in the K NWS Speech at the opening of the Session. The principle upon which Mr. CsEsvkir and hi• friend• m the House of Commons acted in the Committee of Supply, and on the second reading of the Melt Bill, namely, that no suppliess hould be granted to the Crown unlit grievances were arm re dressed, ass wise and judicious *hen the frame of government was far lets complicated mull extensive than it is at present, and when Parliament rat so sel dom, that the sincere lovers of their country and its !dreams were compelled to snatch an opportunity afforded by the neeeroitirs of their Sovereigns to vitt d.eate their rights from the exercise of an arbitrary and undefined authority. Parliaments in those days were called only to satisfy occasional wants; the machine of government, such as it was, still pro ceeded, for the hereditary revenues were, generally speaking, sufficient to impel it. But now that the whole frame of our goverument is purely parlia• • mentary, when the Sovereign depends Fur meeting the itiiittsdiale. necialsidei" of the State uplin the Parliament, and when tin Actwr the Legislatlos ,Is abvolutely necessary for autiolatiuing the adios 4i every part sof the system, to suspend t e i"gl of egfilipinent is to cheek the action of tfuj. whole goverellife •el the country, and rOt• what' length ofli f ueo^.; - Vntil all grievances were re.. dressed ; hy . which we presume is to be under stood until Pediment bed taken a dose review of the whole state of the country, had examined every item of the. Oxidic expenditure, and ascer tained what services' were unnecaeary, and what expenses might lie saved; mud further, unlit the distresses that unhappily press upon the nianufac turing, commercial, and agricultural interests, were all made the subjects of inveslnpnion, and some means of relief determined and applied. Twelve mouths would out be sufficient fur such la bours, end what result could compensate for the universal mischief which in the mean time must arise from suspending for this length of time the public service of the couutry ? No evil, however, can be sustained from voting the supplies fur the must immediate sod pressing necessities of the State ; because, as we have already remarked, the Guvernment being essentially parliamentary, the opportunity is always open for inquiring into abuses and re,lressing grievances, and the efficiency of Parliament, which sits regularly fur sit months is every year, will not be diminished, even though the Members should nut tie up their own hands at the commencement of ■ Session, and resolve to interrupt a Government of which they essentially form so prominent a part. The public, however, ought to feel indebted to Mr. CIIIIVEY for having drawn the attention of Pasliament to the necessity of speedily investiga ting these several topics of inquiry. The estimates for the army service, and more especially for the civil branch of it, cannot be too severely scruii oiled. It is nut is the pay of the officers and sol diers on active service that the estravaganowo Use Government is to be found, but in thelthiffic offices connected with the administration of the military service—in the eubrmous salaries paid to hosts of fellow., with well-choseu mud high round ing titles, whose duties are carefully performed by deputies, with little or no compensation. We are glad upon constitutional grounds, to see the nu merical force of the standing army reduced, but we fear that if the principle of retrenchment be confined solely to the 'Auction oils few regitients, the savings to the country in money will be very inconsiderable. The Parliament is bound to insist with the more precision upon the fulfilment of the promises held est by the Ministers in the Speech from the Throne, inasmuch as it cannot be doubted that these pre mises exercised a strong influence in their favenr during the recent debates respecting their proceed ings against the Quits. Villertunstely for her MAJESTY, the questions severally subruiued to the House of Commons were agitated less with refe rence to the merits of the case, as they regarded her interests personally, or the treatment which she has experienced, than as they seemed to involve lie probability of a chsuge in the A.desiiiistration. The debates were not trials of the justice and expedi ency of the measures formerly pursued, but of the propriety mid expediency of turning out Lord Lt ♦EStPOOL, Lord CASTLEREAOH, and their friends. Now, us the Ministers had commenced the Session with an assuranee of cutting down every superfluous expenditure, it was very natural that the country gentlemen bhuuld not wish to remove them until they had the opportunity of accomplishing the good thus promised. We hope, for the credit of the Administration, that this early assurance of meet ing the wish's of the public upon a most vital point, was sot thrown out with ■ view to its pro. bable effect upon the votes of the House of Com mons in the contemplated discussions respecting their conduct towards the QUEER. After such an assurance Lord CASTLEREAGH might feel hiniself better entitled to swagger about the Ministers' re-, signing the seals of office, in the event of a defeat upon any question relating to the commencement' of the prosecution, cud the mode in which it had been conducted.
