S a bieli pursued by Ministers was that which was best calculated to secure an object so desir able. He had been informed that a person of high rank and character had been sent to this country as a Minister from the Constitutional Government of Naples. The individual in question was received with all that urbanity and politeness which belonged to the character of the Noble Lord at the head of his Majes ty's Government ; but he undersfood he had not been allowed to deliver his credentials, and after remaining here three weeks, he had, as -be was infOrmed, been sent hack -to the Continent, without having been recognized in the character assigned to him by his Govern- Inept. He was further informed, that the Noble Lord had stated.it to. be impossible to recognize I t Minister from the Constitutional Government of Naples till the result of the conferences of the - Allied Sovereigns .at Laybach and Troppau shatild be known. If these facts were true, it • was of little importance that a paragraphin the _ying's Speech spoke of a determination to en `'t favour to avert the evils of war ; it was of little amportance that Ministers professed • .to abstain , L l lan interfering in the affairs of other Govern nts ; and it was. of 'little importance that the noble Lord declared himself proud of the -len ' ij i aage that had been held on the pa r t of this ' Y;otintry to the assembled Sovereigns. What dust be the effect, of .conduct like that he had described, when it came to be reported at Na- Meg ? Why, it must tend to weaken the Con stitutional, party--to strengthen the Anti tonstitutienal party,. and materially to aid and, abet the tyrannical Counsels of those who Were now disposed to be as: insolent in their pro-. Sperity as they .had been abject in adversity. The conduct, they pursued did not affect Naples alone; but it . went to.demoralise Europe, .and was calculated US prove most injurious to the in terests of mankind in., general. It would be re 'lnnbered that on a former occasion, on certain -Vapers being presented to the House,'. some. con- N ,rsation had. taken . place -on this subject.. He re nlernbered to have . asked, if .this country had entered into any engagements to guarantee to Naples any particular form of Government, or to M aintain any particular 'dynasty on the Throne. _ -i',..c ~ } ieanswer given was, .that no engagements had - acted:by. this eountry but those whic h „,.

General through all his statements Vtr et i.""ly could not take the same view of the 'nded !rigs to which 'the Hon. General had al . %I' s( ' " 1 t he seemed to' do. He was not 'pre q( to pi ll in the admiration which the lion. It 4 eral . %%as ready to 'evince for eve r y sort of •.'; et ol, I ,,:`' ° "• He' could not enlarge on this sub -- Whi th '!hout going into anide field of discussio n, on i t Would n o t b e for the convenience of the 00 8_ tout Olathe should' at that moinen t enter. He must 0, 0 Ni n,d, that in what had occurred with respect to 'n ext "'istet from the present Neapolitan Govern gard:anothing had been done that could be ire-1 tven ts as - any thing like a cause of war. When ' d escri occurred in another country of such a 1 4 e4c Pion as actually to involve its very ex \vas no ' as a nation, because this Government °l4Viriertatn. ient, Prepared at once to - recognize the new and the new forms, was it to be Il evol e u d t . that this was a cause of war. - The late 11 tler I" in Naples had been accomplished ali o _ e eery peculiar circumstances, and as it was t4i g_e e l, - . by a particular sect, who had matured I , eas t o 4!sign by secret meetings. He certainly " t duposed to look with any extraordinary degree of favour on nevoluttons, in wiatever part of Europe they might occur, that were brought about by means of secret societies. The object of the sect which had prepared the Revolution alluded to, was believed to be not confined to Na ples, but was thought to extend to .all . the Go vernments of Italy, the object being to put the whole under one power. He would not then go into the question whether what had transpired woald justify the other Governments on the Continent in interfering with , the party now called the con- stitutional party in Naples. He trusted the House would be in no hurry to solve this prob lem, and they would approve of caution on the part of Ministers,in not being very forward to in terpose in a case where the security of this couns try was not immediately affected. He hoped the House would not be too ready to go the length which the Hon. General was disposed to go. • lie denied that any act of hostility had been committed on the part of this country towards the present Government of Naples. Nothing had been done by this Government, that the Government of Naples was at all disposed to view as such: The relations between the two countries re mained- the same, and diplomatic communi cations- on the current affairs of both had been made - in the usual way. It had not been intended to do any thing of a hostile cha racter, .but it was not for this country to rush at once into a formal recognition of the new Au thorities, till further information had been ob tained on the Subject. The lion. General had referred to what had fallen from him on a former occasion, and be believed that he had done so very correctly. He (Sir It. TV.rilson) did ask him (Lord Castlereagh), if this country had bound it self with the Members of the Holy Alliance to interfere with the internal affairs of other coun tries. This question he had answered in the ne gative, and he had answered the. truth. He had also stated that the Government of this country was not disposed to interfere with Spain ; and he had also said the Hon. General had much. misin terpreted the declaration issued by the Power he had mentioned (Russia) and had pushed its meaning much _too far. In such a case, it was not for this country to interfere too hastily. Regard for our own interests,- taught that we should not very frequently attempt interference with the course which other Powers might be disposed to take. Sir R. Wrcsox, had not collected from the speech 'of the Noble . Lord, whether what he bad heard with respect to a Minister sent from the Constitutional party was correct. World the Noble Lord answer this question? Whether the sending away -of any Neapolitan Minister had been accompanied by any hostile intention on the part of this Government to the constitutional Government of-Naples.? Lord CAsTLEREAGII.--;-Certainly. not. AUSTRIA\ LOAN. Mr. James wished for some information yela tive to a -Loan advanced from this country to Austria many .years ago. • He wished to know if any part of the principal had been paid to this country, or the interest on it ? Lord CASTLEREAGH thought it could hardly be expected that he.should be prepared to an swer so many questions. He apprehended that it was known,some payments, had been made at an early period after the loan had been con tracted. For a long course of years none bad taken place—what had since occurred cer tainly held out no great hope to this Country of speedy repayment. Mr. J A Mils then said, he should take an op portunity of -moving for papers Ad shrew the. cur rent state of that debt. Sir ROBERT HERON thought the subject would not be considered as delicately by our ancestors as it seemed to be by his Majesty's Government. Every one who knew any thing of Austria kne w that its Government was detestable, and to be detested. They bated any thing like a free Go vernment, .and therefore it was- they interfered with NapleS. Contrasts would end in their ruin. This Country could not now go to - war in conse quence of her finances, and nothing else, he feared, prevented the British Government from aiding the projects of. the three great Royal In quisitors, who entered into a -Treaty founded on hypocrisy and blasphemy. ,EXPORTATION OF ARMS. Mr. Rusts: asked the Noble Lord if any ap plication had been made to allow the exportation of musquetry and other arms to Naples, and the answer given ? Or, if any impediment were op posed other than would have taken place if the request were made by Austria or Prussia ?. Mr. ROBINSON said, no such application was made. An order existed.to prevent the exporta tion of arms to Spain or Spanish America, but it was not enforced. • Mr. HUME.—This is,noanswer to my question, ' Lord CAsTLEREAG ii.—l know of no such ap plication .having been made. MILITARY ESTABLISHMENTS. The Report on the Address to his Majesty was brought up by Mr. Banks ; and ou the motion, " That it be now agreed to," Mr. Hume wished to know, if his Majesty's Ministers were prepared to say to • what extent and in what branches the diminution . in our mi litary establishment was to take place ? The CHASIGELLoR of the EXCHEQUER.---Th Estimates will be laid before the House, an , until then I cannot answer the question of the Hon. Member. Mr. Hume.—The'reduction having . been no. tired in the Speech from the Throne, thought it would not have been put into his Majesty's mouth, if the Ministers had not first determined on the amount of such a reduction, as well as the branches in which it would take place. if they put the expressions into his mouth without shew ing what they intended, it was doing what they knew nothing about.—The Report was then agreed to. THE QUEEN. lord CASTLEIIEAGII gave notice that he would move on Wednesday next that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on that part of his Majesty's Speech which relates to a separate provision for the Queen. THE'• LITURGY. Mr. WETII . EItELL considered the motion he was about to make as scarcely inferior iu import- ance to that of the Regency question in 1759., For three centuries past the name of the Queen Consort wa's - stated in "the Liturgy. Indeed, most of the Members .mnst'know the subject well, hat he wished to have the.fatt vouched by Parlianientary documents. A magazine, of Prayer Books could prove the fact, and the Col lects evidently showed that the Kings . and Queens Were equally prayed for in them. lie tirst then moved for the production of all the Col , lects since- the time of James theVirst, inclusive, ht Which the names of Kings •and Queens were inserted ; secondly, for the Prayers and Collects accompanying the Act of Uniformity ; and third. • ly, for all Orders in Council by the authorit y of which any alterations were made in them. The latter branch' of the motion be made rather in conformity with the wishes of the Noble Lord, than .any notion of its importance held by 'him self. The British Museum would . afford such extracts as were comprised in, his motion. Lord'CAsTL . Ent.tuu did not mean to oppose the motion, - and when he did oppOse a similar motion last night, it was.on the ground that he knew of no government officer, or office to which they were to be looked for. If the }louse agreed to the motion, he would do all he could to have its end fully answered. The usual Standing Orders were then agreed to, and the House adjourned about half-past eight.

The Meeting .vltich took place yesterday at the Mansion House was marked by such turbu lence and riot, as must excite the deep regret of all who respect the character of the Countr y , thus brought into disgrace iu the great Capital of Europe, in the very Seat, and in the r presence, of its chief Civic Authority. Our Readeirs will re metnber that, on Saturday last, in reference ,to the eminent Mercantile Characters who have an nounced their intention to celebrate the accession of. his MAJESTY to the Throne, there was the following passage in our leading article :—" We observe that a respectable Morning Piper (Tile New Times) advises Oda" Body of eminent men to attend the eusning Neetin% at tire Mansion House. Our opinion is wholly different, for it is by no, means probable that they Would be suf fered to speak on the occasion ; and if they were, it is impossible to suppose that they would speak to any purpose, among men who are - too strongly imbued with the spirit of Party to attend to any opinions but their own, and' therefore the inevi table consequence would be insult, turbulence, and confusion." The disgraceful - facts of yesterday too well justify our prediction. — Having given an account - of yesterday's Meeting in another part of our Paper, we'need not Offer any further comments ; bat, as the persons whose requisition occasioned 'that Meeting, which was marked by such offensive proceed ings,. are themselves men of most respectable character, we hope they will see the. danger of giving way to popular clamour, and reflect on the consequences that will be the certain result, if the laws are not properly - supported against the daily attacks of sedition and impiety, which otherwise will lead to the total destruction of the. Constitution, which has long rendered tasthe • freest and happiest people on earth. — We subjoin the following article, which . we re ceived from a Gentleman who was present at this scene of confusion, and upon whose accuracy we can confidently depend STATEMENT.• " After the first Resolution had been.moved and seconded, Sir William Curt is cane forward, and ived the preeiwo question, which was Seconded by Mr. BoSatiquet but, in con sequence of the clamour prevailing in all parts of the 1141, nothing seemed 14) be understood but that Sir William had moved an amendment to the effect of superseding - the Reso lutions originally proposed. It was therefore immediately suggested to the Lord Mayor, that under these cum stances, to avoid all misunderstanding, the best mode of stating the motion would he, that the Resolution be not now put. The Lord Mayor, however, put the question (at which period Sir William Curtis had retired for a short time), with out any explanation, in the form usually .adopted in the House of Commons, via : —Thal the firr.ilion be now put. " The body of the Hall trot being able, on account ofAhe• noise and confusion, to distinguish what his Lordship s a id, and conceiving, no 'doubt, this to be an Amendment which went. to negative the Resolution, a majority held up their hands in favour of the question, and the motion as put (but decidedly misunderstood by a large proportion of the Meet ing) being carried, the Lord Mayor afterwards declared the R e solution Lu have been carried als o ." • .Paris Journals of Sunday. last arrived this day, but their contents are of little importance, and we must defer them till to-morrow. A Hamburgh mail has arrived, with papers from that city to the 13th instant. ' Letters from t St. Petersburgh mention a report that the duties will be raised on rum and coffee imported into Russia. The importation of Foreign goods this season at Petersburgh has been unusually large. The latest advices from Rio mention that Att.: TtoAs had been made prisoner. The Portuguese frigate, Union, had captured two Insurgent pri vateers. The news of the Revolution in Portugal is said to have made the most favourable impres sion upon the public. Vessels continued to arrive and clear out for Portugal; and business went on as usual. The KING'S Levee, to-morrow, is expected to be most numerously attended.

'Numbers were tut able to obtain adraission.---•-The Loud MAYOR entered the flail at one o'clock, and, I t ohe am-. tion of •JOIIN SniTti, Esq. M. P., hisrdship was Called to the Chair. His Lordship addressed the Meeting in a short speech, and -begged that impartial heating might be given to Gentlemen . on both sides of the question. Joni Burred, MCP., then addressed the Meeting. He said, that by their permission be ,would have the honour to Submit certain Resolutions, and to state the reasons which had induced him and those with whom he was accustomed to act, to convene the present assembly. These reasons were in consequence of a number of most respectable Gentlemen leaving tuo•t at the London Taveru to sign what was termed a " Loyal Deelaratioie," and that without giving any notice whatever to such of their fellow-citizens who were entitled to he present on the °evasion. But though he by no means considered that this was the proper mode tee call a meeting for the purpose of expressing the sense of the citizens of this great metropolis upon a public question, still be was ready tee admit, that an assemblage of ninth respectable Gentlemen had 'never set suet within the precincts of these walls. — (Hear, hear !)—He lead the honour to live in habits of close Intimacy with many of them, and there were others to whose general character he could bear the most favour able testimony; yet, however highly he appreciated them as private individuals, he could not permit them to speak sentiments in public for him or his fellow-citizens, in which neither lie nor they could agree.--s-(Applause.) Witte respect ru setec part of the Declaralion, that which went to express feelings of loyalty and attachment to the Sove reign, there could be lssit one sentiment, that of cordial assent. (( !leers )—But it ought not to he forgotten, that the Meeting had estso oth e rsentiments to express and other duties to per foresee—(Applause and disapprobation.) —lt was for them to state their opinfeoes temperately and moderately upon public affairs, unitetitiencial either by passion or.lirejudiee. Under this impressism, he should now offer to the Meeting the Re solutions to which he had adverted at the commencement, making suds observations as he thought necessary upon the Merits of each of them separately. The Hon. Gentleman then read the Resolutions, making observations on gad) Of them, amidst a mixture of disapprobation and applause. On the 4th It esoltition, (which censures that part of the Loyal Declaration relating to the Seditious Press)_ being.read, the most tunoiltdous shouts were raised in the Hall, and no lan guage could conrey adeqoate idea of the violent uproar b e tween the conflicting parties. Mr. Stuith was at leiti4th allowed to proceed. No mate could regret more than he did the reistetice of such things as blasphemy and sedition, but sorely nothing could be more improper than to proscribe its one indiscrienivats censure, the whole Press of England. ,It wits tee the Press we owed the Reformation, and all the valuable improvements of our county. "We are not to quarrel with the sun that heats and warms us, because there are some spots tiptoe its disc." The sth Resolution (stating that the distresses (el the times were greatly aggravated in conse s quelece of the agitation produced by the proceedings against tier Queen) calls. Lithe tumult to be renewed with increased violence, and souse persons its the body of the Halt even went see far as to bring their political feelings to the test of persOnal strength. A group of individuals of very respect able exterior eiegaged in close combat, and it .was not till after !stud cries of " Shame, shame!" and " Turn them out !" twat they were »educed to desist. Silence being <>llef 'more obtained, the first Resolution was pelt, anstaseconsleil ley Mr. 13ouniNGToN. Sir WM.

Mr. BOIANQPrr then stood forward. He had attended' this Meeting, net as the advocate of a party, but as the ft lend of his country. The Interests of his country were with hives a paramoinit consideration.—;-(Applause.)-- Sorry be was tee say, that tee found those interests en dangered by the silt nee and supineness of those who ought so he the tenernoe.t in supporting thetn. They were told the great majinity of the people were loyal, be firmly believed - alley were; but what salutary effect would this conviction produce unless it was announced to thee public by the Press of England ? Ile came here to-day in com pliance with rise terms of the Requisition, and he was prepared fearlessly aced candidly to declare• his sentiments. He could, not help viewing with horror and detestation the blanibenioits attemptsrleat were made to bring our holy Re ligion into contempt and ridicule; being persuaded that by religiote come's-feet was brought to the aid of law. Religion lie considered tee lie the best and surest security of all our, eztablislements and social institutions. He hoped that the laws of the country, which lee thought perfectly adequate to the purpose, Would lee executed with that rigour which lee longest to them, in order most effectually to check or suppress the eft`,irts which wicked-persons were making to destroy every sluing valuable in society—(Applause)—but when the hour of danger canoe, that was not the time to try experi ments.. Would any map, at the'rnament his house was on fire, send for artisans to decorate it? Would he, at such a sees event, send for the gilder to adores his cornices, or for the pain-. ter to paint leis windows? No ; lee would rather let out acopious flood feone the water-dam; and now men ought to open the full dam of loyalty. In the original structures our Constitution, no party feelings were called into request. In the year 1(188, such feeliogs were not exhibited, and that was the period from which the Coiestitut ion as we now had the happiness to pos sess it,-was transinitted to us. He' would ask, were our esta blishment and our institutions to be submitted to the expe riments of inexperienced men? He would not, however, deny, that something might lee bettei arranged thou at present, though he avoided saying what those things were. There. was good feeling euough in the country to support all the blessings which we prize, Hit was but properly encouraged am' elicited by those when ought to call it into action. He hod ressul the history of this and other countries, and he found it to lee the distinctive character of England, that it was more ' favote rab le to freedom than any country in the world. . Mr. Attie. RaISIKG now presented himself, and was receiv- . . ed with great clamour. He made eeverul ineffectual attempts to obtain a hearing, and at length the LORD MAYOR cam e nirward• from the . chair, and with souse difficulty procured a partial int eriaiseion of the noise. Mr. BA al xo began by complaining of the reception he had ueset with. 'llse meeting, he observed, was intended to have been a deliberative one, but the conduct of some persons there present would disgrace even, a Spa-Fields, or Man chester assemblage. He assured them lee should be very short in stating thee reasons which bad induced him to sign the. Requisition, because he saw clearly their impatience; though, under other circumstances, lee should be inclined to go at large into the subject.—(Here the meeting began again to - thew great impatience, and a voice exclaimed—" Why ex— cite controversy ?.")—" That," said Mr. Raring, "is pre cisely the, question at isstee between ,'is and the Loyal Deela rationiste. _lt is for you to consider who they are that have opened the sluices of controversy, and let in upon us such a flood of claneotir.--(Shouts of disapprobation, succeeded by shouts of applause.)--I believe you will most cordially agree with me, that a list of mote respecta b l e or more honourable names than those which appear to the 10quisition, could out easily be found—(flear, and hisses)--sand certainly they are entitled tee be listened to with something like decorum, in making this calms appeal on a subject on which every man is so much interested."—(Here the Speaker's -voice was again drowned in clamour, and when it had Subsided a little, he pro ceeded.) --"'flee professions of the signers of this Requisition are precisely those of the Loyal Declarationists, in substance at leastcand so they are also ()revery Loyal Address throughout the kingdom."—(No, no, no !)--" The queStion for our consi deration is, by whom, and by what means 'we have been brought into our present difficulties."
