Other Members however said, that such indefinite accusations should not be made or attended to, and that the Cortes should confine themselves to appointing a Corn , tnittee to inquire into the origin of the fire. ' "M. Castello Branco thought there could be no doubt of the fire having been the effect of de sign, that the insolence of writing anonymous threatening letters to the Deputies convinced him that there was a party opposed to the Con stitutional system, that this party endeavoured to sow discontent and confusion among the Citizens ; that it appeared to him to be a combined system, and he therefore proposed that the Regency should diligently inquire if there were any ideas of a revolution.—M. Borges Carneiro said that he had received anonymous letters with threats of poisoning him, but he did not fear even death, since he only endeavoured to serve his Country by removing abuses. 64 In the Sitting of the Cortes yesterday (22d,) a debate was began on the Wine Company of the Alto Douro and its exclusive privileges : the de bate was adjourned to the following Sitting."— ( Lisbon Papers, June 23.) Mr. DENMAN finished the pleadings berm-, the Privy Council, in support of her MAJESTY'S claim, yesterday. It will be seen that not a tittle of evidence is produced on which to found any other right than that arising from usage, which, as we think we have already successfully fahewn, can only be maintained by persons stand ing in all respects in the usual circumstances to which the alleged usages or customs are ap plicable. But what have the remote and la borious researches of the Learned Counsel made, in a Legal and Constitutional sense, of (he ceremony of a Coronation altogether, even as it respects, not only Queens Consort, but the KING, the SOvereign himself ? A Coronation, it appears, is so-entirely a mere' matter of splendid ceremonial, depending upon the will and pleasure of the Sovereign; that neither positive laws nor invariable usages have determined whether it shall or shall not invari ably take place. It seems that the Monarch either may or may not be crowned, as he himself shall think fit ;—that the People,—the Parlia ment,—the Ministers,—the Privy Council,—the Laws,—have nothing whatever to do with the time when or the place where his MAJESTY . shall be pleased to appoint his Royal Coronation to be solemnized. If his MAJESTY indeed does think fit, in his royal pleasure, to appoint a co ronation, then, it is true, immemorial usages have determined the manner in which that solemnity shall be performed ; arid have conferred certain rights, and imposed certain duties and obli gations connected therewith, upon divers of his MAJESTY'S subjects. But, the immemo rial usage has only thus determined the manner of the Coronation ; and has by no means established, or pretended to esta blish, the necessity for the performance of the act itself, even as it respects the KING, much less as merely respects his Royal Consort. So far from this, it appears, not only that the KING may dispense with the ceremony—but if he be so pleased, that he may repeat the ceremony se veral times ;—that he may be crowned with each of his wives ;—that he may appoint a coronation to take place out of the Kingdom, as was the case with the Queen of RICHARD I. who was crowned in the island of Cyprus, where Itrcn nn married her ;—that he may direct a Corona• ion to be conferred, during his own reign, upo.. he Heir Apparent, and not only upon the Heir Apparent, but upon the Heir Apparent's' Wife, as was the case with the eldest son of Ilexay 11. and his Princess, a daughter of Louts of France; — and, finally, that even the Queen Consort herself may, unless the exercise of her Royal htisband's authority, either as her King or as her husband, should be paramount, of her own Royal will and pleasure, also decline the honours of a Corona tion, as well as the KING, if she shall think fit ! In neither case, the coronation of a King, or of a Queen Consort, have either the lazes or usages of the realm any thing to do with the necessity for the performance of the ceremony. In the case of the King, it is clearly a proceeding purely and entirely depending upon his own Royal will and pleasure. In the case of a Queen Consort, it is a proceeding, if not entirely depending upon the will and-pleasure of the King (since itseems a Queen Consort may decline and has declined the honours of the ceremony)yet so depending upon the united will and pleasure of both the Royal parties, --upon their agreement, and good understanding, as obviously to render it one of those disputed .questions, so frequently arising even in ordinary life, between husbands and wiver, which no usages have defined, which no laws have de termined, and which no third party can adjust.-- Indeed, so utterly have her MAJESTY'S Counsel failed to establish her case, that we think it I quite Unnecessary to purstie the line of argu ment, which we had commenced yesterday.— We shall therefore . ,merely observe, that when the pressure of other matter interrupted us, we intended to have pointed out that the compulsory._ coronation of the Queen of HENRY VII. (compulsory so far as respected the King) was obtained, not .by force of laze, not by the establishment of her right, but in consequence of the threats of violence with which the KING was assailed, '" until" he considered that 46 it was no longer safe for him, on account of popular resentment, to withhold that ceremony," and to which ceremony his consent (observe that the KING'S consent was necessary),. .to which cere , mony his consent was at. length thus reluctantly and violently, not constitutionally, extorted' from him. In the case of the coronation of the eldest son of HeNni 11, too, the KING.; having with held the ceremony of a Coronation from the Princess his Son's wife, how vas that Coronation afterwards obtained ? Why, as Mr. BROUGHAM stated, by her Royal Father the King of France having " recourse for redress . to' the usual pro- Cess of Kings ---,to arms, and tO a •.dtaaration • or war; . and hi front of his reasons or faking that step, the French KING placed the omission to crown his daughter with her husband." What followed ? 'Why, Hrzte.l.- could not withstand, or did not .choose to withstand, the force of this me thod of asserting the rights of his daughter,-in law; and he accordingly " went over to France, and entered into some compromise with Louis to avert hostilities, and the daughter of the French KING was solemnly crowned at Win chester by Bishops and other venerable and distinguished authorities who were SENT OVER FROM FRANCE to perform the ceremony of HER CORONATION ! !"—ln disputes of this kind, therefore; there seems to have never been any at . tempt to establish a legal right by legal means, but to extort concession by ''popular resentment," or by having " recourse for redress to the usual pro cess of Kings—to arms"—alternatives, we trust, to which, at this time of day, her MAjEsTy's Counsel will hardly think of advising her MA JESTY to resort. The withholding of a Coro nation may be mortifying to her MAJESTY.-- It may be more—it may almost partake''Of in justice.—But it iS a mortification entirely arising out of the peculiar and unhappy circumstances of her situation. Her friends May laMent the one and deplore the other. She has no redress but by seeking it through conciliatory overtures to her Sovereign. • ITIBERNIAN JOURNAL.---Wi! regret to say that we received 'a letter from the Conductor 'of the Hibernian Journal this morning, stating that he has.deemed it necessary to close the existence of that Paper. This regret must he felt by every Protestant and loyal subject in the Sister Island. We understand that a Gentleman named_FITZ SIMONS was the Editor of the Paper in question. We only know him by his talents and principles, which rendered his Paper a. very powerful sup port to our Constitution in 'Church and State.— It - ever a Public Print deserved the support . and protection of G overnment the Hibernian Journal merited its peculiar countenance, for it resolutely. adVocated the essential interests of the Empire, and displayed not only patriotic zeal but extensive knowledge and enlightened judgment. As a strong proof of its loyalty and constitutional rectitude, it was the favourite vehicle through which Sir HAR COURT LEES addressed his countrymen,and enab!ed them to see in a true light the real interests of the. Empire, and excited conviction in a great majo rity of the people of Ireland.---The 'Hibernian Journal of the 2d inst. contained the last Ad. dress, written by the learned; enlightened, and pa triotic Baronet, which we have not yet had an op portunity of inserting, but which we hope to pre-, sent to our Readers on Monday next. The Con ductor of the Hibernian Journal, in his pri vate letter, refers to a Farewell Address to his Reader's which we have not received,or we-would most readily have inserted it. We must repeal our surprize that Government has not deemed it wise policy to patronize a paper so strongly characte rized by loyal spirit and constitutional integrity. SHIP NEWS. PoßTsmouTix,..

'Hence, the name of Protestants was at that period given to th e R e f ormers of R el i giOn in Germany: and it has since beconie the general denomination of Sects of every description, • who, continuing to profess Christianity, ab jure the errors of Popery;whose adherents Ronanists, Catholics, Roman Catholics, or more properly, Papists, because of their subjection to the Pope, whom the greater part of them receive and honour as Christ's Vicar; and Universal Bishop.

BUONAPARTE. The following extract of a letter dated St. He lena, May 7, contains some further particulars relative to the closing scene of the mortal career of Buonaparte. It was written by an English officer who was on the island at the time of his death, and had ample opportunities of verifying his state ments : " ST. HELENA, 11faY 7. " As it was the express wish of Buonaparte that. his body should-be opened, and as.it was also most desirable to the au. thorities here that the true seat of his disease should be aster_ tamed, it took place at two o'clock yesterday, the day after his death. • There were present, his own surgeon, who operated, the surgeon of the Admiral's ship, and five other surgeons ; the Deputy Adjutant-General, and Brigade Major, with Bertrand and.Montholon. When the chest was opened, the liver was found to be perfectly sound, with not a mark of disease about it. The French surgeon even cut it through with his dissect ing knife, and all the surgeons who were present agreed that no " liver complaint" had ever existed. So much for the dis cernment of Messrs. O'Meara and .Stokoe.. But when they proceeded to the examination of the stomach, all the s urgeons instantly called. out There is the seat o f the disease.' It was a 4 cancer - of the Stomach ;' the same disorder, I understand, of which his father died ; there was a hole in one part of it large enough to admit the point of a man's finger: The medical men unanimously agreed that it could not have been produced by the climate, or by depression o f m i n d, an d that he must have di e d,' as 'lladarrie Bertrand exclaimed when the appearance of his diSorder was dLs2ribed to her, had he been in the midst of his glory at Austerlitz.' ' With regard to the lying in state of the body and the general admi s si on o f th e i n h a bi tants of the island to view it, Sic Hudson Lowe left the matter entirely to the option of Bertrand and ‘lontholon, who however both acquiesced in it, and even wished that it should be the case. Accordinal, in the afternoon of yesterday, soon after the examination of his body by the surgeons, he was dressed in his green uniform, with red facings and all his stars and orders." [This circumstance appears to have given rise to the belief, which is now ascertained not to be correct, that B uonaparte di e d i n hi s military uniform.] " An immense number of persons, both yesterday and this morning, have been to see him. It was one ,of the most strik, ing spectacles at which I had ever the fortune to be present. The view of his countenance, frbin which I felt it scarcely pos. sible, even for an instant, to withdraw my eyes, gave me a sen. sation I cannot describe ; but the impression it made on me w.ll never be forgotten. His hands' were as white as WAX, aed telt soft, though toe chill of death was upon them. His remains must soon be closed from mortal view. In this warm climate dead bodies soon become offensive, and though all the dispatch possible is used in preparing the leaden coffin:, it is already time that he was soldered np. General or ders are issued that he is to be buried with the highest military lionourS ; and, perhaps, Thursday or Friday next will be the day. He had for some time past fixed on a particular spot, which is also, I understand, mentioned in his will, a short distance from Longwood, for his burial-place, in the event of its being determined that his remains should be deposited at St. Helena. It is close by a small spring of water, of which he al. ways drank, and some time since he used frequently to breakfast under the two willow-trees which bend over the bubbling water. It is 'rather difficult of access, but pioneers are making a way, and as there is no want of hands, it will soon be ready. Buonaparte was perfectly aware of the nature of hi s coi n . plaint, and frequently d escr ib e d i t to those about him, but was never able to convince his surgeons that he had a just notion of it. In the early stage of the disease, which is o. long time ago, he commenced a statement of it, with his different sensations at different periods, and continued it up to within a few days of his death. It is intended for his son. " It is a singular coincidence, that the Waterloo East India. man, laden with necessaries for his establishment at Longwood, arrived only two days before his death, just in time to witness his final setting." - [The dispatches brought by the Heron are dated the 7th, and not the 17th of May, as origin a lly s t a t e d.

Hendrie, who brought them, landed at Dartmouth, but no letters were put on shore till the arrival of the Heron on Thursday at Portsmouth, which accounts fir the very deficient information as to detail, which was obtained of this remarkable event on the day it wag first circulated in London.] —(Times.)
