In the debate upon Mi.

The following is an extract or the Minute of 'Council in question, subscribed by his Lordship; " After the most deliberate consideration, how. peer, of the evidence winch has been brought be. f , re the Commissioners, and of the previous exa. iiittistoms, as well as of the answer and observations, which have been submitted to your Majesty upon them, they feel it necessary to declare their decided concurrence to the clear and unanimous opinion of I;ie Commis* eeeee ers, confirmed by that of all your .Maj-sty's late confideinial servants, that the two la ma c harges alleged against her Ittiyal Hightitss the Princess of 'Vales, of pregnancy and delivery, completely disproved ; and they further sub. tint to your Majesty their unanimous opinion, that r.:i the tither particulars of conduct brought in ac cusation wasitist her Royal Highness, to which the ellifaCier of critnivality can be ascribed, are either trusfacusrJy coinnsilic•ed. or test upon evidence of ouch a nature, and which was given ouster burls circumstances as to miller it, in the judg. . . . went of your Majesty's confidential servants, tio ilesersing of credit.

Notwithstanding these repeated testimonies to her • sense by the members of two successive Adolinistrations—notwithstandisig these repeated avowal. of the falerhood of depositions—is it not a little extraordinary that the very same Ministers should again agitate a question of similar 'noniron.: nos import, and involve the credit of both Houses of Parliament in the issue, 'II locomen's of the saute kind, that is, depositions picked up God knows where, and made God knows by whom ? • TM* Mis•te wss *ivied by the Lord Chancellor, the Lost Posaistria.

ADDRESSES 10 TITE'QUEEN. A Requioition has been presented In the Sheriff% of Middlesex, by a great Number of freeholders, to address the Queen. and to prepare Petitions to both Houser against the Rill. Mr. Mich. Angelo Taylor, Recorder, and Messrs. Lester and Dent, Members for Poole, presented an Add re ". to her Majesty on Saturday, to which she returned the following gracious answer : " I accept with gratitude %hi* loyal and affectionate Ad. ilremfrom the Merchants and other Inhabitant• of the town and county of the tow,, of Poole. Whet. they speak of the Isle incess Charlotte a• the best hope of the nation. and of the late Wolves] King as the kind protector of my Mau fence their language is In iserfert unison with the convic tion tot my mind; and with the feelings of my heart. " I feel nu inquietude about the result of the present at tack tsp.'s my honour and my peace. The charges against me to 1806 had uo other origin than malice, and no other support titan perjury. The charcesagainat me in 1820 will be fonud to be equally destitute ..t proof. " I should have been humiliated beneath contempt if I had suffered my character to become an affair of pecuniary calculation. 1 should instantly have been deprived of that seltrespect which is the basis of virtne, as well as have for. felted time esteem of this noble nation, if, in a late attempt at negotiation un the part of my accusers, 1 bad exhibited a spirit unworthy of a British Queen. If there can be any satisfaction in what is sordid in sentiment and debased in conduct, f willingly resign that to the pnsillanimity of my ad lies. " If I can, in say way,contribute to the happiness of the nation, I shall always consider the augmentation of that happiness as an accession to my own. My welfare is the welfare of the people; their fowl is my good; and their prosperity is my highest exultation. " I should feel myself unworthy of the elevated station which 1 occupy if I could approve the practice, or cherial, the sentimeut of reveuge. That principle ought to ba►e uu residence in any Royal h t. " If England was not my native cunntry, the people of England have rendered it as dear to me as the lead of my uabvity. In "heir ealightened wastitneats of justice, in their generous affections, and in their steady loyalty, I possess a strelactla which no menace can shake, and a comfort which no aversity can take away." TO THE EDITOR OP THE BRITISH PRESS. Me. Et. Recorder's last report I find that three more usofrietunate wieu are ordered for execution on Thursday next, for forgery*, and I cannot refrain from im. mediately protesting, in the confidence of reason and feel ing, for myself rod friends—nay, I trust for every heart and head is. tbeempire, against the sacrifice, the repeated sacrifice of life, for this offence. I, and from my own knowledge totbers—and from my hopes and opinions I imagine the whole of my fellow-countrymen, either silently or avowedly deprecate this eunliuoal waste of human bkmd, upon three grounds:—Firstly, it is veinal; secondly, it is cruel and sorwarronfable; and thirdly, it is impolitic. It it an jitsi, because fur similar dishonesty, practised in a different way—for obtaining Isnother's property under other false pretences or appearances—punishments are decreed which become blessusgs when compared with the owe is. flietril for this offence—death ! death, the extremest stretch of human power! It is cruel and unwarrantable, bemuse the Legislature, however such a design may bare hewn talked about and in. tended, has not yet exerted its utmost power in increasing therlillicolly or preventing the possibility of the commission of crime; sod therefore, slid I even grant, which Ido not, the propriety of the statute, certainly ought not to exert its utmost power in crushiug an offender who, from the fa. cility of imitation which still remains, has been decoyed by by Mat legislature's sant inactivity. It is impolitic, because it does not lessen the frequency of the crime. It is • melancholy and convincing fact, which upon its first discovery one would think should have been entlicient to repeal the law, that since the crime of forgery has bees yousislied with death in this country the number of *Mode's has increased, while in America, where it is Not punished with death, the number of offenders is fewer in proportion than beret. With the indistinct though appalling remembrance of the lives which have beets lost since the enactment of this law, the heart sickening recollection of the recent execrtiows (three suffered so lately as the 12th instant), and the agonis ing suspense (hiring the impending fate of the present three condemned ones, I, in conjunction with my friesds, am nn. controllably urged to make this simple appeal, confident that should it meet the eye of any one who has ability or influence to advocate the canoe of starring, expiring huma nity, he will nut let one more victim perish till he has dome his utmost to prevent it. Good God! surely no one with a spark of humanity will willies, supinely his fallible fellow.creatures tottering on the brink of au unfathomable precipice, to which they were tempted by its apparently easily.attained (mitt, slid see them drop without one attempt to rescue, in all the ripe. suss of their guilt, one by one—nay, by three at a time, into eternity ! But many may see this who consider them. selves not qualified for such an undertaking; ewers one, in some way or other, is anatifited for U. If he cannot holdly stand forward in the Steele-house-ea he cannot propitiate persons of power--lie at least can introduce and advo cate the subject in the circles of society in which be mores, and this will help to awaken popular opinion, which can and will ultimately prevail—it Is omnipotent. He would be sot excellent friend, too, who would ascertain the exact number of the victims of forgery, or any other in formatiou respecting it. If heartily and universally engaged, phtlauthropists might confidently expect soon to see a bar. tier erected and streugthened that should stem this lung, rapid, and still reeking toneut of human blood. It is nut lone since that the crowd of human sacrifices weariest even the etrung arm of unrelenting law till it dropped the sword of death, sod sums oldie devoted victims were saved; how was it the bloody weapon was again grasped for destruction ? It is well known that some of the accused, by making an evasive plea, avoided the gallows; and it is also well known that some have been since sacrificed on the scaffold fur the some crime; and that the gibbet will creek with the dying agonies of three more, who will there next 77trirsdae more lay give up the ghost, utilesa reason sod &elms interpose! Fur myself and friends, I conclude with three questions, anxiously addressed to the hearts and understandings of the whole nation, hoping they will catch the attention, and excite the active asset unremitting exertion of those who can and will answer theist, by endeavours for abolition : lat.

The pamphlet appeared shortly after the refusal to comply with this de mand. It states, that the waters are compined of ingredients highly injurious to health.

Letters have been received from Lord Cochrane . of the 10th April. According to them, the ser vices of his Lordship were duly appreciated by his adopted country, and rewards were pouring in upon him. The Government had made him a present of 20,000 acres of valuable land. The Supreme Di rector O'Higgins. and General San Martin con sulted him on all occasions; ■ntl these three lead ing characters rivalled each other in patriotism. ex ertion, and zeal. Lord Cochrane bestows the most unqualified en. cotniums on the talents. and public as well as private characters of O'Higgins and Sin Martin, with the only difference of the latter 'assessing greater mili tia., experience. His Lordship also speaks in the highest terms of praise of the equipment. discipline, and spirit of the army and navy, and observes, that if a people ever deserved liberty and independence, it is that of Chili. The preparations for the attack on the Viceroyalty of Lima were coming on with great activity. and his Lordship expresses his con fidence in the result, although he properly omits going into the details of the plea of operations. An officer of the stuff of General Bolivar had been some time in Chili ; he bad been sent by the Com mander-in-Chief from Santa Fe de Bogota, through a port in Choy), to combine a plan for a simultaneous attack by sea sod land on Guayaquil. and other connected nioverneuts on Lima.

About three days prior to the date of the account, a vessel going from Cuteh• Matidavie to Bate, in which were about 80 Byragees, men and women, had arrived in light of Bate. when she was fallen in with and boarded by the pirates; the vessel had no merchandise on board, being taken up to carry the pilgrims. The, pirates cut off the heads of 40 perrons, and threw their car casses into the sea ; the remainder, with the excep tion of four women, Whom the pirates carried of, they wounded with their spears. The borbarians then took away the said, and boring a hole in the vessel, quitted her; the poor wounded on board contrived to prevent the vessel filling; tying toga ther the few clothar left them, of which they form ed a sail, and in that way resched Bate. Every ss.istance was offered them by the Company's officers, who supplied them with food; six had, outwithrtuniding, died ; it is nut expected that more than ten will recover. At the date of our advice. there were six pirate vessels within two unties of the shore. One of the Hon.
