LO EON JOURNALS, .[I)4ILY TItONI THE MORNING PAPA IS et HIS DAY. tiltorning Post.] THE QUEEN. In the House of Lords, last night, on the too- - Aiou'of the Earl of LiverpoO4 Committee was . appointed to search - for precedents re)ating to, the Royal Divorce Bill, and to consider of the tnt4t-etil-cttall means of nfarcinq the 'attendance of the Meinbers of that Rouse upon the trial. Thus do their Lo rd ships, at every step, consult Only the means of coming to a proper decision, and rendering substantial justice, on this pain ful but most important occasion, while the. enemies o' Justice continue to have recourse to the most infamous expedients to arrest its course and defeat its ends. The spectacle which has been passing before us for the last few weeld, we do not hesitate to say, presents many features more deformed and hideous than. have perhaps ever been exhibited in any country • not actin Ily in a state of rebellion. Hitherto re spect for the Laws has been the characteristic glory of Great Britain. It would be tedious, if we could recollect them,, to repeat the many pas= sages in foreign : writers, which.rlass this among the foremost'of our national merits and bless ings. In England / sacs one, the law is power -ful—every thing else is weak. There, says another, political dissensions do little harm, because as soon as the law speaks, every other voice is silent. Can this be said of our pre- sent condition— , --cr, rather, is mot the cmpleiel re- verse of it the fact -? Are not the loudest voices now outrageously raised to speak, instead of the lac ?—An accusation made by the highest per sonal authority among us has been submitted to The whole Legislature, and is now before that part of it which constitutes also the highest 'of our Judicial Tribunals. With a view to constitu- .e tional responsibility, this Charge undoubtedly proceeds from Ministers, and is so ackno . svledged by themselves ; but in point of strict truth, and when the decorum due from a Public is consi ilered; it is alike undoubted that the King's Mes:4age was his act as a man, as well as a Sove reign. Let the -Minister be responsible for car rying it ; we distinguish this from other Mes sages only for the sake Of marking the degree of attention with which it should be heard ; and then we ask, whether a more hideous obstruc tion to justice has ever -been known than is now attempted by that clamour which vilely pro nounces the accusation to be false, before a single witness.has bee-a heard, and stigmatises Parliament for having. consented. to judge it, mpon authen tic documents, the .allegaticms of which are to be personally proved on oath.? A R.EVOLCTION has 'taken plate at NAPLES.- -By the French Mail of yesterday we received in -telligence of this important ei.sent. .'There-are various statements relative to this interesting oc currence, but the following is, we believe, not - only the latest ,bat most anthentic that has yet 'been received. It is dated from Naples, the 7,th 'instant, and informs us, that, the Revolution was produced chiefly from the circumstance of a very heavy tax of thirty-five per cent. having lately been imposed neon all -lands and houses. The first display of refractory spirit was by the 'military . . A 'party of 150 cavalry probeeds 'ed in the first instance to the mountains, whither they were soon followed 'by neatly the whole of the army at Naples, _having preyionsly seized 'a ilailitary chest, containing a considerable sum of money. The King having ascertained that a 'Constitution for the' Country was all that was desired, consented to comply with;the expressed - wish ; on which the Hereditary Prince, who had just returned from Sicily, immediately threw him 'self at the feet of his Royal Father,. exclaiming —" Yon have saved the kingdom." - The Con stitution was expected to be proclaimed 'about 'the middle of the present month ; the Ministers Ilad been dismissed, and some of those who-had served Murat were expected ..to be recalled. We 'hope the latter- part of this statement will prove erroneous. The GOvernment of Naples is unquestionably a bad one -; but if traitors are to be restored to qice,, the measure will not fail to lead to - a system still worse, if not to a succes sion of evils.---(ibid.) [Morning Chronkle.] On Wednesday, Ministers received official dig pat :ies from Sir Williern A'Court, the BritiSh Minister at the Court of Naples, announcing a Revolutltn that had taken place in that Govern snent. The particulars are differently stated, and. we can only mention the occurrence as reported to us. For some time past dissatisfaction had prevailed in the army in Sicily. At Palermo, it had assumed a threatening aspect, and prepara tions were making to .send a part of the garrison .of Naples to the Island, when a Deputation of the- Regiments in . Garrison, intimated to the Com inander-in-Chief, the unanimous Resolution of the Army to have a representative free Constitution, and that-they expected his Majesty's Compliance with their demand Within fourteen days. The demands of an army are commands. The, King yielded to their application--his Ministers were 'dismissed, and persons chosen in their room, who possessed the confidence of the troops and the people. Thus the revolution was effected with out bloodshed, and every thing was quiet and joyful when the Couriers left the place to carry the important intelligence to. the different Courts of Europe. - . • [Morning Herald.] An opinion prevails that „the investigation re lative to the conduct of the Queen will not' be gone into the 17th of August. The cause as signed is the extfeme inconvenience ivhich the Peers would suffer from being obliged to attend at that time. [British Pre:ys.] The - House of Lords is expected to adjourn over this day, and not meet again until the time required for the second reading of the hilt. of Divorce and of Pains and Penalties against he Queen, which is fixed for the 17th of Augnst. It is maw understood that the adjournmetrt will be to the I . 6th, , as a 'day previous will be neces sary for swearing in the Peers - who have not yet taken . the . oaths thisSession,.arnounting to 150. We understand that fifty men employed'in the preparlition's making in Westminster Abbey for the Coronation, and lately discltarged, were last morning recalled, and resumed their labours. Those persons Who think the present unhappy differendes in the Rdyal. Family may yet end In an amicable arrangement, may spcculate upon this as a circumstance calculated to 'encourage their hopes. We are glad to find that her Ma jesty has abandoned the intention of residing at Barnes, and has taken Brandenburgh House, which, although not a Royal Palace, is not unwor thy of a Royal Residence. We may now expect that Ministers will not delay to offer her Majesty the use of a service of plate.—(Mid.) [New Times.] SUBSTANCE OF A LETTER FROM NAPLES, DATED JULY 6, ifigP• " A sudden, but very complete Revolution has taken place here a few days ago. Two regiments of cavalry unexpectedly marched from their quar ters, and 'took post at Nola, whither many per sons-flocked to join them. The Government now Attempted to collect together a large military force to reduce the Insurgents, hitt soon found itself unable ti? effect this purpose. The General, who commanded the third division of the Army, repaired to Nola, to take part with the Insur gents, amtwas followed by another cavalry re giment. Affairs now became so alarming, that the King was advised to yield to the storm ; and accordingly he has this day issued a Proclama tion, stating, that as the wish of the nation for a Representative Constitution has been so unequi vocally expressed, his Majesty engages In publish such a Constitution within eight days! Hitherto there- have been no tumu't wry proceedings ; but when we consider the kind of people that form the lowest classes of Naples, it is very much to be feared that this tranquillity will not long continue."

Two boys, one named George Sweet, wereracing on horseback along the Sedgley - road, against ano ther horse, which had also :two- boys upon it ; when the lad who was behind Sweet fell off,. without injury ; and in - a few seconds afterw - ards' Sweet also fell off, when, unfortunately, his feet caught in the stirrup ; he was dragged along the road, and received a fracture on his head, which caused almost immediate death. We wish our account-closed here ; but the catastrophe is still more affecting and deplorable. Mr. W. Evans, a respectable master manufacturer, who was at the time in a field overlooking some bay-maker, witnessed the circumstance, and after riding up to the boy, set off towards the town for a surgeon ; but he had not proceeded far, before he fell in, got off his horse, and upon reaching the house of his brother, liy the road side, sat down and expired. Inquests were held upon the bodies, before 11. Smith, Esq., on Monday, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death" upon George Sweet, and - upon - Mr. Evans " Died Suddenly, in a fit of Apoplexy, occasioned by frigbt."—( Waver/tan/peon Chro- , nick, JON 19.)

Ektract of a Letter, dated Naples, July 6th ; to which the writer has added, " a day to be for ever remembered in history .“ This letter . announces to you no les, an event than a Aiali g e - --4 the vernment.,ot ill' • country. • You were before, aware of llite dis content existing in the Provinces, on account of ' the imposition of the Fundaria, and of the little encouragement given to the exports - of natise productions ; but ,you were not aware to what a degree this discontent had infected. all 'classes, and even the ranks of the army. The organiza tion of the camp at Sessa may be reckoned the immediate cause of all that has occurred., as it appears that it not only gave to the troops an op portunity of concerting, their measures, but brought them into contact with the PrOvindes, arid assured them of the community of senti ment in the great mass of the population. The whole thing has been so sudden, that it is diffi cult to ascertain exactly hoW it began, or who took the lead in the operation. According to the best accounts, there is reason for believing that the first movement was made by a body of ca valry stationed at Nola, to the number of about Ibo men, Who suddenly and without orders quit ted their post, and marched in a body for the mountains of Avellino. Whether the result of previous understanding or not, is unknown ; but the alarm of this march spread with the rapidity of lightning : detachments of infantry marched out to join them, and every peasant who could muster a firelock, or an offensive weapon of any description, followed their example. This mixed asstmblage then proceeded towards the pass leading to Apulia, of which they took posses sion. They found there a military chest contain ing 22,000 ducats, which they appropriated to theirown Use, but gave an acknowledgment in due form to the party from whom they look it. The news of this insurrection having reached Na pies caused the greatest alarm, and ,some Ge nerals were sent off by the King to parley with the mutineers, and learn what objects they had in view. A Council was immediately called' at . the Palace, to deliberate on the mode of proceeding : while they were in the act of deliberating (this was yesterday afternoon), two regiments., one of infantry., the other of dra goons, quartered about a mile from the town, marched off with arms and baggage, but in the most perfect order, to join the insurrectionary troops. An intimation was then brought to the King from the head-quarters of the insurgents, that they demanded a free Constitution, similar 'to that which had been adopted in Spain. Pre parations were made to oppose and reduce this spirit ; but it was discovered,' on sounding the disposition of those troops who had not yet de clared against the Government, that they all at heart were imbued with the same sentiments, and that they could not with safety be led against their comrades. This state of things was re 'porta,d to. the King, on which he gave way, and declared his assent to the condition proposed. Couriers were sent off to the troops early this morning, to announce this change ; and papers Were exhibited on the walls of the city declar ing the King's intention to publish. a Constitution or form of free government in seven days. Where this would have ended, but for the timely con cession that has been made, it is impossible to say; for the spirit spreid through the soldiery with such rapidity, that even St. Elmo was, de serted by its garrison. The 0-eneral, appearance of the city during the intervaal between the par ley with the_ troops, and the King's resolution to accede to their .wishes, was most singular.' Every face was marked by anxiety, and denoted the expectation of some dreadful event. When the joyful change was known, nothing was to be seen or heard but the *lost lively testimonies of plea 'sure. Groups paraded the streets with shouts of Viva! Viva! and these were by no means Of the lowest or lower classes. [saw two officers in the uniform of Generals who joined in the exul tation. There was a very general cry for the appearance of the King on the balcony of the palace but- he did not show himself... This is .the birth-day of the Hereditary Prince, and to night we shall have a grand illumination." [EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE.] " It is now about a week ago since a very general spirit of fermentation and discontent was observed in the province of Salerno; and last Sunday we heard that a whole regiment of ca-, valry had deserted, and posted themselves near, N ola.. Shortly after, all the troops were put in motion against them, ,but it was discovered that disaffection prevailed, and that no reliance could be placed upon them, which made it evident that coercive measures would be of no use, but ,that every means must be tried to conciliate mat ters ; the more so, as it was believed that dis content, more or less, - prevailed in all the pro'- vinces. Things were carried on in this way till yesterday when the King, having been told that a free Constitution was the universal j ,wish of the people, declared that he would give it to them voluntarily, and immediately issued a proclama tion, promising to publish it in a week. It is said that an affecting scene has taken place at the Palace. When the King declared his inten tion, the Hereditary Prince, who is just arrived from Sicily, fell at the feet of the King, and in tears thanked him in the name of the people, exclaiming, " You have saved the country !" .only remains for the Insurgent troops, so they were then. called, but now the, Patriots, to return to their duty, which they will do as soon as they know the terms of the Constitution, which they wish to be as near as possible to that of Spain.— The city has been for some days past in extreme agitation. The Civica (city volunteers) have been continually on duty. ' At this moment there are thousands and tens of thousands parading the streets near the Palace, andshouting to the king and Constitution. We think that'all will proceed quietly, and end safely." t . *** It is proper to inform our Readers that the foregoing article is taken from The Old Times r) of this clay, and as the S r aracter of that apar\-is so well known, we hardly need warn them agail fs k:' ftil 4 n,implicit COO env in ivy of—its 4.communio tibns.
