'I.IIE BRITISH PRESS. The opinion of the House of Lords collectively 113 N at length been taken on the question of the second reading of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. Yesterday, at about twenty minutes after three ”'clock, their Lordships divided, when the question es, carried fa the affirmative, by a majority of mly Ors !! The House was unusually full, 'he number of Peers present being no less than Iti ; a n d when we reflect upon the peculiar cir • ' , instances attending the adjudication of this case, echo is there in the country tbet will not regard a majority so inconsiderable on the second reading, as a triumph on the part of her MAJESTY ? A majority of only VI in the House of Lords, the at tendacce of Members being full, has ever been Con sidered equivalent to a defeat of the Ministers of the Crown, because in that assembly the personal influence of the Ministers, the presence of their friends, the well-understood wishes of the Sovereign, and the power of patronage, are generally known to be more immediately operative than in the House of Commons. In fact. remove from th.• numbers on the side of the majority the names of the Members of the Cabinet, of their immediate relatives and connexions, and of the Members who formed the Secret Committee, and whose judgment in deciding upon the evidence adduced at the liar must, from that previous examination of ex-parte evidence, have been most injuriously warped—re move these names from the side of the majority, and the majority and minority will quickly change pl ices. And in proposing the removal of such do we require more than in strict justice beletigr to the Illustrious Accused ? lu what other tribuiwil upon earth, boasting the attribute of jus tice, would it be permitted Ifist the Prosecutors should argue and vote as Judges of the Ac cused? In no other Court in Englund would it be permitted that the Guard Jiffy, repre sented in these proceedings by the Secret Commit. tee. should with wields impressed by a secret ex port( trial, where no explanations were had, no soutiter-temitnony received, no witnesses cross examined. enbaequeutly mingle with the Petty Jury, and mislead their fellow Jurors by their own impressions. incorrectly formed but firstly pre served. The principles of natural justice would demand the absence of the Qussm's accusers, the priaciples of our own law would equally require the removal of she .invent Committee who placed her in a state of accmotion. Had the Illustrious Accused moved ins Imo elevated sphere, the laws of this reentry would have exteaded to her such advitniages;,Znst only would her accusers have been remave! fro. the Jury boa, but even such friends and relatives of her weevers as might be supposed feel a strong interest in their soc. ern. and a proportionate anxiety to effect her conviction. All such persons she might have challenged ; and will not the common sense and *Mee of the country extend to her, in her elevated rank. the same measure of protection which the law would have secured to her in an humbler and less invidious station ? The power and influence of her accuser ought to awaken every suspicion, sod teach the public the necessity of fliuging around her every protection which huma nity, genero-ity, and justice could dictate. In the majority will be found the names of we less than twenty-six persons who are either Minis ters or holders of offices under the Croton, not one id whom can be believed to have exercised a dispels. si•iiiste judgment opens the case as it was attempted to be supported by evidence. If to these be added -itch of the members of the Secret Committee, not being place-huldert, as voted for the Bill, and if all these lied been preveuted from voting on this sub ject, as by the analogy of the laws of Englaiid eti ; dit to helm been done, we may ask where would he the majority that has now determined the House to give the semblance of its sanction to this most pernicious measure ? In the majority we also find the names of twelve Bishops, besides a considerable oundier of military Lords, who live in the hopes of Giieeroorships, Captaincies, promotions.. &c. &c. We also several LorJa who affect a per sonal friendstep for the KING, and are therefore sup po.eil to ireilee his presumed sentiments their prin ciples of action.

The Lords meetergain this morning at ten o'clock, and the first question that naturally suggests itself is—will the Ministers venture to press this mea sure any farther in the face of so powerful a mino rity ? They must feel that they have antlered a defeat, and even though they were to carry the measure through the third reading, with the same wretched majority, after it had been shorn in the Committee of the divorce clause, can they venture to send the Bill to the (louse of Commons with any hope of final success? Will such a measure, supportod h such a majority, satisfy the people?— Would the nati• n t ever endure to see it carried into effect ? The public, in weighing the importance of yesterday's division, will fidlow our example, and fling out of the ministerial balance the vote of every Minister, Place-holder, and Member of the Secret Committee. We fear that they will think very lightly of the votes of many others on the same side, whom they must regard as too closely connected with the Ministers to have exercised a free judgment. As they make these de ductions on the one side, they will find the other balance becoming too weighty not to claim their highest esteem and veneration. They will look through the catalogue of the votes, and find those names with which they have long hen accustomed to associate every &ding of honour, wisdom, and justice, and the people will eventually discover that their own sentiments upon this subject, warmly and enthusiastically as they have heeri expressed, have obtained the sanction of a majority of the lode pendent Members of that branch of the Legillatitre which has generally been considered lea►t respon sive to the voice of the public. It was reported 'alit night that Monger,' mean to withdraw the Bill of Pains and Printhits, and to propose in its stead a Bill of Separation and a Vote of Censure on the QUEEN. We have received Paris Papers of Friday last. The intelligence they bring from Naples is not of a later date than that which we were enabled yester day to buy before our readers. We then noticed briefly the refund of the Parliament of Naples to rarity the Treaty concluded between General FLO-. RESTA N PEPIi and the inhabitants of the city of Palermo, by virtue of which the forts and batteries of Palermo, and all the Neapolitan prisoners there confined, were surrendered into the hands of the Neapolitan General. We were prevented by the pressure of other matter from communicating at the same time any further extracts from the Naples journals ; but an the affairs of the Two Sicilies are certainly calculated to exci•e very general interest, we conceive that a sketch of the occurrences eon fleeted with the surrender of Palermo will not prove displeasing to our readers. The Provisional Government established in Pa- 4 'em). after the popular insairreciion which ended in the defeat of the Neapolitan troop% seems not to have long enjoyed the confidence of the lower classes of the citizens. The populace having over thrown the ;tinhorny which they had been accus tomed to obey, conceived that no native power was justified in eialeavouring to restrain their outrages, and resented with violence what they regarded as an encroachment upon their rights. To escape the horrors of anarchy, the Provisional Clover ttttt rut anti the mine retipectable part of the inhabitants were resolved to facilitate the progress of the Nea politan army, and a Treaty Via , 4 concluded by Prince VI I.LAFKANCA, the President of the PM. visional Government, that the Neapolitans should enter the city on the 25th of September. The lower chose' of the citizens having learned that oc currence, were resolved to frustrate the completion o f it, and s e ized upoa all the forts and batteries with a determination to resist the Neapolitan% On the 24th of September General PEPR put his array in motion, and 0111 the 25 It, about two p. m. halted them within a mile of the city. Ile pushed for. wind a detachment of cavalry, to reconnoitre the approaches to the town. These found the battery del Sacramento abandoned ; but advancing a f e w steps, they were tired upon from the cannon of Palermo. The second brigade, under the orders sof Colin el COSTA, was then put in motion, and quickly rear bed the Oreto, where a detachment was lelt to guard the loidg-. The tight column, in the mean time, proceeded along the meadows on the right lank of the Oreto ; a detachment of light troops , crossed the itlidgv, and bayoneted the first who oppusell their passage ; a detachment of gre nadivis also passed the bridge. and put to flight a crowd of ruined men, took from them two pieces of artillery, anal advanced along the road leading to the gate of Termini. where they ocenpird the houses to the right sod left ; and the armed ptati34lllll. lilt lIOUgh protected by their saline' y, could no longer make their appearame. The Palennitans were also driven iii by the de tachinent of Major CIANCIULLI, which killed a great many. took several pieces of cannon. and penetrated into the Flora. The regiment mound the [loyal ['Arnim also posed the Oieto, and l a. netrated slso to la Flora and the Botanical Gar den. The house of Prince CATOLICI Mt* occu pied during the slight. In the t>t►esu titre in immense body at the Paler. ?tidal* attacked the second brigade, but were dis- 1 permed, and lost three pieces of cannon. They were also driven from the cemetery. The operations of the assailants were however lucommoded consider.. ably by three of the Palermitan guu-boats, which took them in flank. The peasants, numerous and well posted, and protected by their artillery, fought with great bravery, and it would seem that the loss on both sides was severe. The Neapolitan army passed the night of the 25th ex bioomac. At day-break on the 26th Captain GADDI was sent into the city with a flag of truer, but even the sacredness of his cha racter could not protect him from the insults of the populace. The fighting was continued' with still greater fury during the whole of the 26111 and 27th, and at many periods with doubtful success. The army frequently penetrated into die streets, but was at frequently repulsed by the desperete resistance offered by the peasants who occupied the windows. The troops set twiny of the houses on fire, and thus increased the confusion of the scene. An attempt to negotiate was fruitlessly merle on the 9.dth, and on the 29th the Neapolitan fleet. having arrived, began to bombard the city. It would appear that a spirit of resistance to the Neapolitans is not con fined in Sicily to the city of Palermo; for General PEPE having on the 30th sent a battalion of the regiment of Bourbon, and fifty cavalry, to meet a reinforcement of troops which he expected from Trapani, his troops having commenced their march, were compelled to retrace their steps by the inha bitants of Marsala. In the mean time Prince PATERNO began to acquire some influence within the city, and at length succeeded in persuading the inhabitants to listen to terms of nrcommodation. The ne4ocia lions were opened on the 241, and continued during the 3(1, but on the dth the people celebrated the birth-day of the Duke of CALABRIA. Oil the sth General PEPE proceeded on heard his wt., EsTy's cutter Racer, to arrange with Prince PATERNO every thing necessary for the safety of the city of Palermo. The following is a copy of the Treaty which was then agreed to : " His Excellency Lieutenant-General Pepe, Commander of the Army of Sicily, and his Excellency Prince Patera), desiring to secure and re-establish order and tranquillity in the city of Palermo, and in the territories thereto united, have agreed to the following Convention : " Art. 1.

The immediate effect of this Convention was the surrender on the part of the Palertuitans of all the forts and butteries, and of all the Neapolitan pri soners confined in the city. IVe stated yesterday that the Prince Vicar-General and the Parliament of Naples have refused to ratify the Convention, that General PEPE has been recalled, and General COLETTA, with a reinforcement of 6,000 troops, sent to Sicily to complete the unconditional subju. Ration of Palermo. COLSTTA had left Naples for his command in Sicily on the 17th of last month.
