LONDON, moNDAy, J./Au.ißy 24, 1820 THE DUKE OF KENT.---We bare the metal). choly duty Of coutirtuiug our Report on Sat+►nlay, of the Oireateoing tetid.ocy of the situation to which his Royal fli ; zlluess was reduced, by the cettin informati,m that be expired on SAturday morning at ten o'clock. The conil►laint which has so fatally terminated was a pleurisy, occa- sigtord by a tiegiecred c.)1(1. \Ve hsve the authority of the LORD CHAMBER LAIN•s Office to state, that his [loyal Highness the PHINCK ItEaENT, io houtatte consideration of the 10.4 s which the Ti:eatres must &offer, and ae inconvenience to which the Pane in general would be exposed by the deky of the Funeral Ceremony, unavoidably occurring on account of the great distance of the Metropoli6, from the town where the melancholy event of the death of his Royal Highness the late Duke of KENT took place, and the postponement of the necessary preparations, has been graciously pleased to command, that the Theatres shall be closed only this evening, and on the night of the des when the Royal interment takes place. His Royal Highness, in further consideration of the general interests of trade, has been graciously pleased to command that the period of Court Mourning shall be limited to halt qt the time hi therto appropriated to such melancholy occasions. Such a gracious consideration of individual dis tresses, and the general convenience of the com munity, amidst all the anxieties of domestic suf. fering, needs no comment front us, but must ne cessarily excite the esteem, and gratitude of the Country. We received yeyeiday the Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday last, and this inorning those of Friday, which being the day of the An niversary Funeral Ceremony, the offices of the Jonrnals Were shut and none were to be published on Saturday. The Chamber of Peers assembled on Toesd3y, when the same question respecting Petitions against any alteration in the Election Law came on for discussion. The Committee of Pe titions, as in the Chamber of Deputies, propmed to get rid of them by passing to the Order of the Day. The Peers always debating with closed doors, there is only an official Bulletin given of what takes place there, in which no part of the discussion is published, the speeches fre quently not being reported for a month after wards. IVe have Otis merely the names of the Speakers. It appears that the Counts LANJUNAIB, DARU, and DE SEGUE ,opposed the recomtnenda :inn of the Committee, and that it was supported by the Marquess Du LATOUR DU PIN and the Baron Pa BARANTIS. The division w a s o f a very dderent character to that in the Chamber of Dlnities, the numbers being, for passing to the Order of the Day 109, against it 4S, majority 61. The Chamber of Deputies net on Wednesday, when another Report was made from the Coin- ' mittee of Petitions, but it produced nothing of any interest. Both Chambers appointed Grand Deputations to attend dIR Anniversary Funeral Ceremony on Friday. The King held a Council of Ministers on Wed nesday. The Count Dacazas and M. Da Saunas were still prevented by indisposition from attend ing. The former Minister is said to be worse. Those who speculate upon a change of Ministry, may perhaps find some gt ouod for such a suppo sition in an announcement in the Gazette de France, that the Duke de RicuaLtau transacted business with the King on Tuesday and Wednes } t.ay. A paragraph in the Gazette tic France states, that the Kings of Spain and Portugal had chosen THEATRICAL REGISTER. PerfGrmrd on Saturday Night. Tw-r-vrPx itovAL.

On the motion of Mr. l'Amoa, of New York, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole of the State of Union. Mr. Necsos, of Virginia, being called to the Chair, the PRE3I - MI3SSAGR of yesterday being taken into consideration, Mr. TAYLOR offered for the consideration.of the Committee the following Resolutions I. Resolved, That so much of the Message of the President of the United States as relates to the subject of carrying into consideration of the Independent Government of South America, the admission into our ports of foreign ships of War and privateers, be referred to a Select Committee. 2. That which relates to fortifications and other militia subjects, be referred to a Select Committee. 3. Relates to the Naval Department, and the the King of FRANCS as the tirhitc•r of thell dlfrer. ences, and that it was believed the Portuguese Sovereign would surrender Monte Video to Spain, in exchange for the restoration of Olivenza. 4 ` From The Conslitutionnel of the 20th we copy the following " The Gist news of tbie insurrection which has broke out in Andalusia, among the troops, refusing to embark for America . was communicated through a private channel. An extraordi nary Courier has just brought it to the Spanish Ambassador, but the details are not yet known. Nothing positive was known even in Madrid at the time the Courier left on the Bth. We our selves possess nothing but surmises . ,and do riot intend topnblish any thing till meire ample particulars reach us ; but in anti cipation we remark, that the affair may be considered very serious.—A:l that was risible in Madrid, was the agitation of the Court, the frequency of Com leis and Expresses coming from the Andalusia road. The Prime lk7i.fister, the Duke de Fernando, had not closed his eyes for thire nights. A thousand vague reports were in circulation respecting Gene ral Calle . ) 71., COMA de Calderon, Oli whose person the soldiers had seized; they curt) go so f:u• as to say, that the city of Cadiz had taken part in the insurrection, and that the Con atitmi ion of the Cortes had hue❑ proclaimed them•.

Those which hare been cir culated by the Alittiteri l l Journals, - issue, no doubt, fruit sources worthy of confidence, as far as regards Ilia awbeuti- City of the facts. But it is not fruits those sources that all the truth can he known." lect Committee. referred to a Committee. 1.

That the subject of Improving the ludistn Tribes in tie Arts (It Civilized Life, be referred' to a Seivct Committee. 3. That file subject of Roads and Canals, be referred, to a Committee. 4. That the subject of Public Buildings, he re ferred to a Committee. 5. TltAt the subject of Revolutionary Pensions, he referred to a Select Committee. 6. That the said Select Committee have leave to report by 1301 tn. otherwise. For the Motion Against it The House then proceeded to ballot ;for a Chaplain to Congress. On the first bdilot the Votes Were-- For 11r. Altison Mr. Smith 73. So the Rev-crew! Mr. ALLisoN Was chosen for the House of Representarives, We :have taken from The British Ahmitor of yes terday what the Editor has properly denominated as an important docoruent. lie does not venture to vouch for its authenticity ; but we conceive that its internal evidence precludes all doubt. It is obvious that it is tinctured by Popish superstition, and that it too prestimpotonsly suggests altera tions in our Constitut ; but it contains many striking' truths -and reasonable complaints agAnst those attacks, upon fOreign Govern ments, which are inconsistent with the re spect which ought to be maintained bet ween amicable States, It is es ident that the Sovereigns, whose conduct is thus attached, would not tolerate in their own dominions such acrimonious abuse of the British Government, and surely it cannot, as we have heretofore observed, be essential to the freedom of the Press itt this Country, that such defamation sod outrageous scurrili!y against the Potentates of other Countries, which tends to dfstroy all amicable relations, and in volve the Empire in new troubles, should pass with unlimited toleration. As the present day is the Anniversary of the Birth-day, of the late Mr. Fox, The Morniug Chronicle, with a consistency which would be laudable, if it were influenced by a pure regard to the memory of a man of great talents, and not blended with acrimony, and an unjust attack upon those who differed from him in political principles, and on measures necessary tor the safety of the Country, pronounces an enlogium on his character. But though certainly possessed of great abilities, Mr. Fox had no fixed political character, and maintained opposite doctrines, according to his situation, when in or out of place. He -was an able Orator•, but a very shallow Statettnan. He hat! no mark of political wisdom that entitles hi►n even to the notice of History. His want of sagacity was evident in the unrefleCting zeal with which he hailed the, French Revolution, and pronounced that dread• In! event, which'unhinged the minds of men in all countries, and gave such a shock to the very frame of Society as will affect all Goveonment to I the end of time, to be the most glorious triumph of humsu wisdom and integrity. He even proposed that we should, regardless of all other Szates, enter into a strict 'Alliance with , the infamous wretches, who, not only murdered their virtuous Sovereign, but spread horror, carnage, and deso lation over Prance, and attempted the destruction ofall other Countries. Yet, notwithstanding all the lamentable proofs of the- rashness of his opinions, and the danger of _ the measures which, ing many subsequent periods of horror occurred, Isis eyes were not opened, or he maintsioed doe- lilies opposite to his real sentiment l . I n the one case he Was steak, an d i n the other a hypocrite, anti in both there is nothing that can entitle his po'r,lie charter to respect.

That refers ter the Suppression of the Slave Trade, be referred to a Committee. 6. That relates to the Message, on the subject of the Revenue, be referred to a Committee of Wa}s and Means. These Resolutions were separately agreed to without debate . , excepting some conversation re specting that which relates to the Committee of Commerce and Nlannfactories, in consequence of a motion yesterday made by M. LITTIB, ot Mary lan►i, and tending to distribute the subjects of Commerce and Manufactot ies to distinct Commit tees. The Resolutions, however, were agreed to in the above shape, and, being reported to • the llonse, were severally agreed to. Af►er which Mr. TAYLOR again rose, and moved the following Resolutions and Statesman gave against the syste;:t by %i d:o this Country has been brought to the ptesent finny of distress, most deplore the fatality of O l t Councils that would nQt listen to the eoice ° reason." Mr. Fox might have been a Patriot, 1 - 11! his patriotism was not unmixed with am`;ition Sid a thirst for office, which his necessities, the reitill of such imprudence as is inconsistent with a ;re st Character required, but we repear, that he wd s " 41 Statesman. What has been the effect of that sr tern against %%hick he is said to have given sa il. " seasonable advice ?"—the security of this Co° try and the deliverance of E 'rope, from the moi l formidable Usurper that evi:r oppressed a peoPl e ' and threatened misery to all other States. TV effect of that system which he condemned has bee ° the preservation of our own gloriousCoustitufit,'r' the safety of others, a general pacifi,:ati , 4tt whi 6ll promises a long continuance of amity between the European Powers, and the elevation of this Cowl' try to such a pitch of national honour, as it 10 4 never before attained, aril which will excite ib c admiration of all future ages. Such Wai the sY 5 ' tern reviled by Mr. Fox, founded by thfr trious WILLIAM PITT, and carried into effect bi the present Administration with resolute persever' ance and successful energy, and such have been its glorious consequences. What would have been di e effect of a contrary system, the system propose' ! by Mr. Fos, it is not difficult to conceive ; it i f probable that it would have brought this Country into the power of France, which would have e l4 ‘ tended its fatal fraternity lucre, have uproots every feeling of loyalty and religion among II I ? have parcelled out all national and private pro perty among fm eign Usurpers, and rendere d free-born Britons the bond-slaves of foreig n ' iniscreauts, who, while they trampled us on' der loot, would have mucked at our inisetY' and have ridiculed the cowardice and totb r which had brought us into so dreadful and hope' less an extremity. Let, the Friends and Admiire ,s of Mr. Fox testify their regard for iris memory 14 annual conviviality ; but let them not join.in thei r celebrations, unjust calumny against thot s uho, put suing a diffuent policy, have se ' cured our Ireedom and national safety. 1 34 how different is the conduct of, the Friends , tlt Mri PITT ! 110 their celebration of his Birth-do}' they content themselves with Paying a just holly ate to his talents, his %liroes, and his servieeft avoiding all personal attacks on those whose I.oe, prioLiples were of en opposite nat u re, co'` • with a dignity woitby of his characer, appeor con:Per their Annual Aleciings on such occasions' as a doe tribute of patriotic duty, and tile i(l° triumph of NatimiAl GI:16(11de. 1E ICbi - iint 111 t SUN.
