The precalen ee of disloyal and seditious principles, to a great and alarming extent, anion certain low, it ' g 'L I.lects, is unhappily too notorious at the present time to admit. of doubt or discussion.'. Possessin., as this nation dues, a ConstirW iort which is the -envy and a , lwiratio n of the world—at peace with tVery other ,",,iltl'Y—covered with the glories of a ton;;, a. triumphant contest—eujoving of ustice--and stlhi a n ardunns, and an impartial Administration and paternal Govern-ected to the mild a Lnent ofa Ritriatic Sovereign, it might have been hoped . that • " ii i of and. drf.treeit of then' would have bent - in humble gratitude fur such unexampled blessings toThe Almighty and Merciful Disposer of human events. lint that thi s is far front being the case, and that, on the con trary, a spirit of hoski estimable I 4 ,r.m testimon lily exists against our most sacred and astitutions; t:e have only to appeal to the um of those numerous loyal Addresses which trans of latelyn laid at the foot of the Throne by Corpora- Ill...erent and distant n dla o . r Nie etitlgs of Individuals. Framed by bodies of men cell or parts of . the kingdom, without con catumunication, and containing' opinions 41 " w" froth aetual observation and conviction, these Addresses in- Pndl stably prove at once the latuenrable existence of th.f. evil riits fearful tsxteut ; the.y prove that it m en a ces no t O lt the eo ttminance of thi s or that party in the State, but the safety - State itself ; not the separate interests of this or that class of men, but the liberty, the property, the . security of All. 11 : C ,„, ,--, r u:l3e.quences which h ave a l rea d y resulted from this Pvt“srsto n ot public principle, are but too obvious. Among them ar e to he numbered, a daily weakening of the bonds of f l Thion between the humbler ranks uf society and their natural i,''l'ar,di'llis and p rotectors —insuhordinationdisregard of .e Aavrs, and frequent attempt s t o o b struct the i r Operatioll— tner:taie of . crime s -- denunciations of hatred towards the greatest and hest men in the country—mockery of Religion— querulous impatience of all Controul and restraint—vain and a. stentatious contempt of all sound learning, experience, and l'n_onwirke--interruption of the courses of honest industry a d deratwement of the great concerns and enterprizrs of tbe nation. t , lhe Causes of the ev il are no less apparent ; it may be (Hs.

Mr. LAWLEY presented ;; *--- i;ittit;n from Southam, in Gloneestershire,•prayng; for the, restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy.—Ordered to be printed. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY presented a Petition front Hat field, complaining'of the protli.mte - expenditure of his Majes ty's Government, and particu larly in the Colonial Depart ment. The Petitioners had instructed him to state, that when a Dutch Governor was at the Cape of Good Hope, the salat v , was only 20001. a year, since which time however, it bad been so much raised, that the salary of the present Go vernor was rn, less than 14,0001.—(Hear, bear!)—The whole system of expenditure in the Colonies proceeded on the saute extravagant principle, and under these circumstances, how could any expectations be entertained that the national tits tress would dimitrish—(Hear, hear !)—The Petitioners also instructed hint to pray, that her Majesty's name should he restored to the Liturgy; and that an inquiry should he insti toted into the improper conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, throng limit the whole of the proceedings against the Queen. The omission of her Majesty's name from the Liturgy, the Petitioners deeMed to be as illegal as would have been the omission of the name of the King ; and they also considered -it as having placed her bona fide at a state of excommullica lion. Ministers might say, that that was absurd, because her Majesty bad since received the sacrament ; butt that was by no means a satisfactory answer. Of this he was persuaded, that in Roman Catholic countries, a similar exclusion of a Queen Consort front the prayers of the people would be con sidered a sentence of excommunication. On the.motion that the Petition be brought up, Sir R. FERGUSSON bore testimony to the accuracy of the statement made by the Petitioners, with respect to the Cape of Good Hope. The present exorbitant salary of the Giver nor was one of those wasteful measures to which his Majesty's Ministers resorted solely for the sake of patronage—;Hear, • hear !)—On the first arquiSition of the Cape of Good llope, Sir James Grey, a mos t ,!istinguished officer, perfoimed the double duties of Military Commander arid Civil Governor. Sir James Grey wrote home to say, that he considered 3,0001. a most ample salary for the Civil Governor. Since that period nothing had occurred to render a larger shun necessary, and therefore,- he (Sir R. Fergusson) could not but consider the amount of the present salary to be a most flagrant abuse. —(Hear, bear !)—The Pelition was then brought up, read, and ()Herod tube printed. fi Mr. S. WHITBREAD presented a. Petition from the inha bitants of St. Anne's, Limehouse, condemning what they considered the apparent determination' of Ministers to con tinue the exclusion o f h e r Majesty's name from the Liturgy. Also similar Petitions from the Town of Bromley, and front the Parish of St. Loke.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. C. CALVERT presented a Petition from the Vestry. men of St. John, Southwark, to the same effect. The Peti tioners complained, that,after a long arid afflicting war, there appeared to be no prospect of diminution in our expenditure, or of extension in our commerce. They, considered the 'con duct of his Majesty's Miiristers, in their proceedings against the Queen, to he calculated to enslave the country, and to bring the Royal Family into contempt. They also prayed for Reform in Parliament, and an: extension of the elective franchise. Sir It. WILSON bore testimony to the respectable character of the Petitioners. With respect to that. part of the Petition which conveyed censure upon Ministers-,, he fur one was pre pared to say, that if they would concede the poi ht of the re storation of her Majesty's UlfUlle to the Liturgy, be should consider that as an act of amnesty, and he inclined to hold out the olive brinich.—The Petition was ordered to ho printed. Mr. WILT.IAMS presented a Petition from the lioromigh of Eye 9 praying fur the rest o rati o n o f her- Majesty's name to the Liturgy. Mr. HUME gave notice, that on Friday "next he should move for the Ordnance Estimates. Also, that on Wednes day, the 21st, he sh , uld move for ilemurtes of the Revenue and Expenditure of the lonian Isles. lie presented a Petition for the restoration of the Queen's tram,. to the LAU gy, front certain Weavers, Inhabitants of EdinimOrgh. Mr. BERNAL•preseuteet a Petition from •the City of Lin• coin, which in the space of three days had been, sigi!ed by 1030 persons, praying for the restoration of her Majesty's naine to the Liturgy, and fur a Reform io Parliament. Time Hononrahle and Learned Gentleman explained the circum starlet s which had induced the Pet itiom , ers to place the Peti tion in his hands, and argued very-ably in stspport of the double prayer of the Petition. . . On the motion that the Petition be brought up, Mr. SIB I?OIIPE heartily concurred' with the Hotiottraltle and Learned Gentleman, in hoping that the HonA6 would take the Petition into consideration, but begged not to be understood as by any means pledged t o th e support of either of its prayers. He had never yet been able to bring himself to consider the proceedings against her Majesty unjust,illegal, and inexpedient; and as to Parliamentary Reform, he ever had opposed, and trusted he ever should oppose every system, which, under the pretence hfßeforin, threatened to endanger the best principles of oar Constitution. Mr. R. SNIITH entirely concurred in that part of the Pe tition winch prayed fur the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, nor the plain ground, that as a lawyer, he could see no legal or constitutional justification of the expo)... sion of her name from it.—(Hear, hear '..)—To t he I i on of Parliamentary Refturn, he owned that he always looked with snore apprehension of evil than hope of good ; and he had determined not to accede to any propnsitiun on that subject, the consequences of which he dill not clearly foresee. 'floe hundreds of l'etitions in which'Parliamentary Reform anti her Majesty's exclusion from the Liturgy . were coupled, showed how tonfortunately the latter occuirence bad excited the peo ple with respect to the former object. There was not through out the , kingdom a more quiet, - orderly, and Well disposed po pulation than that of the City of Lincoln ; and to his certain knowledge hundreds had signed their names tolhe present Petition who entertained a sincere respect for Royalty. and were indignant at the way in which the dignity of the Royal Family had _beet ) compromised by his Nlajesty's (Hear, hear')—,\ wise Government would hare endeavoured to conciliate 'such persoos,' and not to set up the votes of the House of Commons agaialt law, and what he (Mr. Smith) believed to he the general feeling Of the people throughout the kingdom.—(Hear. The Petition was then brought up, read, and ordered.to be printed. Sir It. HERON presented a Petition from the inha)oitants of Holditch, to the Same effect. One of the individuals whose signature was affixed to the petition had been opon.the Grand Jury at the late Qmarter Sessions for Spalding, where he had signed what was r:allo d a Loyal Declaration. But when he afterwards found, that it contained he libel- tio• his fellow countrymen, and that its object was to uphold a totter ing irnd a factious administration, hi Saw through the • delusion which had been practised upon bin; and signedt, present petition. Mr. PELHAM suPpurted the petition. If the Noble Lord thought :he was supported by the , largest portion of the re spectable freeholders of the county of Lincoln, he was mis taken.- There was an almost general wish amorigst tinier for a change of Administration.--(Hear, hear, from the Opposi tion )- Because. then they expected to have a change of mea sures. The petition was ordered to be printed.. •: • NAPLES. • Sir It. WILSON repeated the- question ptit yesterday to his Majesty's • Ministers. by-Lord John Russell, namely, Whether they had recti•ord any Manifesto or Declaration on the part of the Allied Sovereigns, hostile to the independence of Naples ? • - • . Lard CASTLEB.F.AGH's answer was very imperfectly heard in the Gallery, 'in consequence of considerable noise and confusion, occasioneol by -1 he violent :and unjustifiable intrusion of a strangcrinto the seat whiclr is by-courtesy ap propriated to the gentlnittn. who report ,the proceedings of the House of Commons. As far as:We coulrt understand the Noble Lord, he stated, that although his Majesty's Govern ment had received comminrications of; what was , -passieg be tween the Mioisters of the different Powers in question, they had not received any intelligence whatever of the nature alluded to by the Gallant General. We believe the Noble Lord added, that if any intelligence of that., tature should reach his Majesty's Government, it would be immediately communicated to Parliament Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, in- consequence of what had fallen frum the Noble Lord, and of the present critical state of affairs in Naples, wished to postpone his motion for Papers . illustrative of the unprovoked and it religious attack of the Holy Alliance on the liberties and independence of .the Nea: idiums, from Thursday next, to to-morrow (this day) se'nnight. Sir R. WILSON, after some prefatory remarks on the cruel and impolitic conduct of Ministers towards her Majesty, in the course of which he observed, that if they persisted, they world neglect the maxim, that authority which depended on strength was in the hands of many, but that authority which depended on opinion was Ist the hands of a few, presented a petition from the Mechanics and other Inhabitants of the lio rough of Southwark, praying fur the restoration of her Ma jesty's name to the Liturgy. On bringing the petition up to the Table, the Honourable Gentleman himself unrolled it, to exhibit its length, which appeared to be fifteen or twenty yards. This circu►nstance excited much mirth in the House.—The petition was ordered to he printed. LUSHINGTON presented a Petition, signed by ten Clergymen of the Established Church. The Petitioners stat ed, that they had always been taught to believe that the Act of Uniformity regulated the performance of Divine Service in all respects; and that the power of the Crown, in -ecclesias tical matters, was entirely limited and circumscribed by it.-- He (Dr. Lushington) entirely agreed with .the petitioners, that the Act of Uniformity had so limited and circumscribed the power of the Crown, which, in his opinion, was prevented from ❑taking an iota of alteration in the Book of Common Praver(Hear; hear 1)—If this Were not so—if the Crown, by means of an Order in Council, could make any alteration in the established form of divine worship; it would be diffi cult to say where the. exercise of that power might stop,. Hr could conceive no doctrine more fatal to the Established , Church, ur more pregnant, with' national evil than such' a supposition. And why ? Llndbohtedly under the reign of our late revered Sovereign, theie was no danger of arty such consequences. It was also true, that in his present Majesty's reign, no such evil was to be`apprehended. lint tyhu could tell whether—as James the Second desited to os•crthrow the Established Church by the introduction of Popery—some fu ture King. in his latter days, having spent his youth in pro fligacy and debauchery, might not be wheedled and deluded by that class of religious enthusiasts, called Methodists, and,. 0-011.1 the influence oft heir fanatiCism, be temptettte Mulcts ronr to introduce into the service of the Established Church that which, in his. (Dr. Lushington's) opinion, would be attended with much greater civil than any Roman Catholic doctrines.—(Hear, hear!)—ln the Petition there was not one word of violence—not a word disrespectful to that House. The Petitioners relate the state of their feelings with respect to the tota , ure of the Liturgy, and conclude by praying that the House would take into its most serious consideration the agitated state in which the warship of the Church of Etta;-. land stands; and that it would restore to the Church that peace and concord so necessary to the welfare of the esti- Wished Religion-. The petitioners state, that by the 55th canon they are compelled to pray for the Queen— ( Hear, heir o—by that canon they are solemnly directed to pray fur the Queen by name—(Heat, hear !) and yet, by the Order of the King in Council, t try are exist essly prohibited frontyray-' ing for the Queen-- 7 (Hear, hear !)—That most unfortun,re and illegal measure iotrodneed nothing but confusion in vine service, and excited he most unbotindeddisgust through out the counts y. Mr. LOCKHART said, that according to the plain words of the Act of Parliament the Order its Council Appeared to be it was not less so with. reference to history and pre cedent. .1 he forcible arguments which had been urged on that side were combated by the Law Officers of the• Crown by nicety , anti subtill)' of reasonitig , —((!ear l)--hy • precedents which did -not in any way bear upon the subject—(Hear, hear!)—The statute . , appeared to him to be directory—it appeared to he, more than director Y—it appeased to be a mandatory statute—(Har !),.--Butif it left, as was contended, a discretionary power, then ought the law in reference to the Queen to tie construed in the most favourable, instead of the Severest manner; otherwisethestatute should be looked upon as a statute, penal in its nature. Of all judgments, that to an honourable and feeling mind was the must abhorrent, which was called an infamous judgment ; that judgment, wisich took away the character of the party, which excluded him front the pale. of virtuous and honourable society. If, instead of being mandatory, the statute was penal, it ought it, he construed favourably—eonstrited as an man would construe it, on a fair pisrusal, and not upon nice subtle grounds. They -had a blaze of eloquence on the sub ject, from the advocates on both sides, hot no man would say, that if the statute were put into the hands of a plain roan, be would not construe it in a manner different from Ministers. The Hots. Cent . atterObSt!rVing that the exclusion of her Ma jesty's naille from the Liturgy was most unconstitutional, and formed a dangerous precedent,as regarded the succession,oh served, that with respect to the opinions so positiv e ly pro nounced by the Attorney and Socitor General on that. point, the rerutat:on, anti, for aught he knew, the political existence of those -Gent ;eines) depended on the question. ' He coin.: plained that Ministers had licit taken the advice of the Twelve Judges ; instead of which they depended solely on the Law Officers of the Crown ; they dial so most improperly, because higher and better advice might have beets . had and acted on. The Houourabir Gentleman concluded by saying, that lie had intended to move iss an amendment to the motion of Mr. that the question should stand until the advice of the Twelve Judges were taken; but he anticipated that Ult. result at that night's deliberation would render any step sin his p'art Mr. HAIIBORD sad , he complained not merely of her Majesty not being prayed for, but of her being preached against--(hoar, hear l';—That indecent practice prevailed— he! had the misfortune of having witnessed it.— (Hear, hear, hear!)-It was rlie shameless introduction of politics into the Divine Service.—(Hear, hear !)—lt was most disgrac,M) t o those who intioduced them. There were sonic Gentlemen present in that. House who were present on the occasion to which he alluded, and wholeit, as he did, the utmost disgust and indignation at conduct so unworthy and indecent. A M Emaiitt, whose nano• we could not learn, said, that no later than last Sunday he had been present - doting Disioe Service at a public parish church not far off, where it was publicly -rated in the course of the sermon, that those wilt) encouraged popular feelings were acting immorally and irre ligiously, and that those who did not obey and reverence Go vesnment, woe acting against the decrees of the Almighty.— The Petition was ordered tee be printed. KING'S LYNN.' Dr. LUSHINGTON presented a similar Petition frmn the Town of King's Lynn. He would take that. opportunity of stating as a tact, that a Cleigyman, who stood remaiiab'e for the active part he had taken against the Queen. had y cont . , s'ed that, one third of his parishioners had left ,t he church.—(Hear, beat Petitioners stated, that the distress acid discontent which pret•ailed throughout lb, Coon try wits to be mainly attrilioted to the:ignorance, obstiTliley„ and inanity of, M inlet ert ‘Hear, hear 1 and Lyghtrr: ,, n t iii, Ministetial 5i11,).--He did , front . the b,;titiju o f his hi a,t, agree_in that sentiment.—l Hear, hem- the—Crondat .of the Ministers, and to the rtrfective state. ur. - ,the nepryrentee,•.. tion, did he attritihtethe'national misfortunes.

That petition was preferred by his 'constituent's in consir- . queue(' of the determination of his M a j es ty' s Mi n i s t ers not to meet the wishes of the people—not to retrace the injustice which they had done to the Queen.

St.ANDREW'S, 1101 . 8 01'.N--St.GEORGE TH ii RTYR, Mr. HonnousE presented' three Petitions fair an object similar to - that of the preceding Teti ! Lions. The first Petition was from the inhabi tants of the _parish of St. Andrew, Holborn.— , This Petition, the Hon. Member stated, would not have , been presented, but for •the 'circus.-1- stance of what is Balled a loyal Address having been got up at a meeting which was stated to be numerous and respectable. He thought that the Ministers ought. to be informed of the true state of public opinion : for he really- believed that, from their late conduct, it was impossible for them to have been fully. .acquainted with that opinion. The fact was, that with reference to the parish in question, out of a parish containidg 7 or 8,000 houses, only 123 signatares were pro cured to that Loyal Address in the first instance, and he would give the .House a Specimen of the proies‘ions and situations in life of sone of these. 123.—There was the Secretary of Lunatics—A Laugh),—the father of the Secretary of the Mas ter of the nolls, the Solicitor of Stamps, a King's Coansel, the Chief Commiisioner of the Insolvent Debtors' ~Court, the Secretary of Fees, six or seven Tax-gatherers, the Landlord of the house at which the meeting was held, a Cashier of the 13 a:.)k.—(Laughter.)—Gentlemeli might lane) ; b ' ut Ile could assur e 'th em , that the inh a bit an t s o f a parish containing 40,000, thought it no langhin 'flatter for a _body of persons to meet in secret , ' and attempt to disseminate their'own opinion as that of the parish 'at large.. However, the Loyal Gentlemen afterwards gave a dinner' at which, ,of course, several Clergymen attended. In con sequence of this Loyal. Addressn large pubiL., meeting was held by adVertiseinent ; and the Petition which he then held in his band was agreed to ; and its language would do ho nour to that of any member of that Asietn bly. Here, he trusted,. it would not he thought disorderly in hi m to refer to an ex pression of 'the Noble LOrd opposito,on a pre vious night. 'The Noble Lord, to explain the conduct of Foreign AmbaOadors to the Quee:s While she Was abroad, had stated that it was itti possible for the representative of his Majesty to sit ‘on'one 'side of the 'Queen, while a certaln in dividual was sitting on the Other.'
