The Annual Sermon on this occasion was preached as Usual op Friday last, at the Church of St. l'ilary-le-Bow, by the BISiIOP of PETEinonovaii, bet'ore the Archbishops, Bi shops, and dignified Clergy, who are the chartered Governors of this Society. The high general character, acknowledged 'learning, and theological enlinence of this Prelate indOced me to attend on the occasion. I was not indeed so situated as to hear the Right Rev. Preacher to advantage; but if you think the following slight sketch of his admirable discourse, made from the instant impression, t. ill not be taking tc;" great a li berty with such an admirable composition, I ofrer it, in a vain moment, to the columns of Your excellent Paper. I am, your obedient humble Servant, W. C. The text is from St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, c. 10. v. 14. " How then shall they call on him in whom they hate not believed ? And how shall they believe in him of whom they, have not heard ; and how. shall they hear without a PreacLer ?" The history of this long-established and chartered Society, his Lordship presumed, had been so often giver. on this Anni versary, that he left it to the recollection of those who had so often heard it. He, therefore, entered at once on the great object of the Institution, its decided tendency to advance the interests, and extend influence of 'the Christian Religion, by dispelling the darkness which envelopes the minds of the Pagan and Idolatrous world ; and conveying the illuminating truths, the never failing consolations, and the final glorious hopes of the gospel consummation to those distant nations, tongues, and languages, where the Sun of Ri,ghteousneen had 1x,...r.R0YA1.

Having stated this grand design with appropriate force, com prehension, and intelligence he proceeded to illustrate the be neficial effects already produced by the Society ; and thee ex patiated, with no common energy and exulting confidence, as to the enlarged results which were promised by the augmented means of continuing, invigorating, and extcucling their Apo.- tolic labours. The Bishop next offered a very distinct and comprehensive analysis of the Missionary Char acter ; its primary objects and requisite duties ; its obstacles and difficulties ; its toil its rewards. Here an animated delineation appeared to be given of Apostfolic Mission, and Evangelid aFal, among the untravelled tracts of savage life, and uncivilized humanity, in the dreary waste and the howling wilderness. He now touched, with a liberal spirit and ingenious descrip tion, on the 111issionary.Societies, not under the immediate.; controul and actual ordinance of the Hierarchy, and enlarged on the advantages which might arise to the great object of them all, by associated labours, communicated experience, and libe ral counsels, respecting the actual state or gradual proceedings of a well-constituted humane policy, in this arduous carm.r. of Christian instruction. He then proceeded to assign the reasons why the present ad vanced and advancing state of the Missionary Labours had been so slow in attaining their present establishment, and how their important views had been at any time narrowed or obstructed. Here his Lordship introduced-various natural and unavoidable causes. Among them he appeared to state the separation of the North American Colonies from the British Empire ; there not having been such facilities, as are now possessed, of being previously acquainted with the native and local languages of our various Colonies, dependent Countries, of dispersed indep =lent People ; and further, the late Eatablishment of a Colonial Episcopacy, as at Calcutta, Nova • Scotia, and Canada, where the Church Missionaries axe become imme diately subject to Ecclesiastical regulation and discipline ; and where the power of ordination must be attended with the most extensive, effectual, and obvious benefits. All these points were supported, argued, and compared in the spirit of genuine piety, and according to the clearest Principles of Christian po liCy. Such were the general topics of this most excellent and appro priate discourse, as far as my interrupted ear could glean and my memory could recall them ; strengthened as they were by facts, supported by argument, rendered impressive by senti ment, and e:itablished by incontrovertible opinion. The Pre late then dosed his discourse with an affecting and animated picture of that glorious and long expected period, to the forwarding a which the Missionary labours, it is devoutly to be hoped, may have contributed, when, in the language of Divine Promise and Prophecy, the great end of Revelation will be consummated, and the Kangdoms of this World will be come the Kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ.

Mr. BROGDEN and Mr. STllittl: WORTLEY hi-ought-up - several - Private Bills from the House of Commons, which we:e read a first time. Mr. lITA.m, from the Commissioners for the Reduction of the Natioaal Debt, presented an Account of the sums placed in their name during the Year ending in Jan. 1821. Laid on the table.. The Earl of nossLyst presented a . Petition from the Royal Burgh of Dysart, praying that the. Queen's name be replaced in the Liturgy. Laid on the table. - Lord FoLcy-pmentec.l Petitions from Kidder minster and Croydon, which were understood to be,: to the'eatne : ,etfect. Laid on the tablet, : MOLY AWANCE.-NAPLES% Earl GREY rose, pursuant to the notice which he had given, to move for such additional infor mation as appeared to him necessary to put the House in possession of all the circenastances which could enable it to form a correct judgment with respect to the part taken by his Majesty's Government in the proceedings adopted towards Naples. The changes which had been effected in that Government were of the deepest interest and importance to the rest of Europe ; and from the time when they appeared to excite the hos tility of that Alliance which, though called Holy, created a well-grounded jealousy for the liberties of Mankind—from the time they seemed to excite the hostile feeling of that dangerous confederacy, a corresponding degree of alarm and. suspicion had also._been created in this country. It was with such a feeling that on the first day of the Session he had drawn the attention of their Lordships to the proceedings of the Allies to wards Naples, and had inquired- of the Noble Earl opposite whether the Circular published in their name, correctly stated their intentions • and those of his Majesty's Government." The answer returned by the Noble Earl seemed to a great degree satisfactory. He said that the Paper in question, though not verbally', wad sub stantially correct, and strongly • disclaimed the interpretation put upon the views of his Majesty's Government, as well as the right of interfering in the concerns of other States: The Noble Earl then added, what he (Lord Grey) trusted their Lordships would not sanction, that there were circumstances which would justify such an interference, and prornieed. to lay before the House the answer written by.the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, to the Circular of the Allies, as a'docausent which would satisfactorily explain the conduct of his-Majesty's Government. • That Paper was now on their Lordships' Table, and . he was sorry to say, that it had not afforded him the satisfaction which he had been led-to expect. He therefore found himself compelled by a sense of duty to address his Majesty for more informa tion upon the subject, and to preface his motiorrby some observations upon the affairs of Napl , 2s, and the conduct of other Governments. After what had already.passed,and the declaration, however feeble, of the Secretary of State, that the prin ciple of interference was one which could not 'be admitted to found a system of international law, as it would necessarily give a sort of supre macy to one Government over another, it might, perhaps, appear unnecessary that he should en large upon that part of the subject. Yet he could not refrain from expressing his opinion of the .. enormity of the, principle assumed by the Allied Powers, that they had a right . to exert a direct influence over the other States of Europe, and to resist any internal changes in their Go vernments, which they might consider or call hostile to the interests 'of legitimate Monarchy. No natter how unanimously those changes had been effected by the Sovereign and the People— no matter how inoffensively towards other . na tions—no matter how wisely and beneficially to themselves—still they were not to be suffered unless they had-received, their sanction ! They assumed the right of pronouncing judgment upon them— of calling a Monarch to their tribunal to answer for the Constitution to which lie had given, his assent, and prepared to enforce their &cis. sion by the strength of armies. This was no thing less than a pretension to dictate arbitrarily to all nations ! A more intolerable principle had never been us!erted. And 'this was not the first time that it had been put forward. If their Lordships had attended' to the Revo lution in Spain and Portugal, they would find that it had appeared in the Note written by Prince Metternich, in the Memorial addressed to Mr. de Bersten, in the Circular issued by the Court or Russia, and in two other Notes, pub lished by . the Austrian and Russian Govern ments. It was also to be found in an .article in serted in the Berlin Gazette, which, eoesidering the state of the press in Prussia, mast be regard ed as the expression of an official opinion.. In that Gazette it was broadly stated that there could be no communication with the new Govern ment of Naples, because it would be to acknow ledge the legitimacy of a revolt, effected by an armed sect, and that the principle of legitimate Monarchy rejected eVery, change which was not freely and spontaneously offered and accorded by the Monarch himself. If this were tree—if this were the code to be universally adopted, then let tyranny rejoice and nations mourn, their chains were rivetted for ever ! If these were the bene volent intentions of which the Noble Earl oppo site and his Colleagues had found traces in the Circular ,of the Allied Powers, the condition of mankind was hopeless indeed. Nations must bear the chains imposed upon them ; iMprove ment was forbidden, and all change denied, un less it was freely and spontaneously offered and accorded by their despots! It was true that his Majesty's Ministers' had disclaimed any, pat tici pation in such principles; but it was remarkable that their first and 'only opposition had. been de ferred until the 19th of January last. Had they not then perused any of thoie notes to which he had alluded? Was the Russian Declaration un known to them ? Had the article in the Berlin Gazette escaped their notice ? And in that con certof councils which they boasted to have este amengst the European Powers were stach proceedings carried en,whilst they were.kept ig nerant of them? They must have known that such State Papers were, issued, containing the open as sertion of such principles; they must then have remonstrated or not. If they did remonstrate, what become of that iufluence which they piot'aitled to have Obtatned -in the Councils of Europe, if a prineipita was acted upoa, and the. consent of this country assumed as asanattief. of course, in the face of their Declaration to the con trary ? If they Mad not remonstrated, then what a deep and disgraceful responsibility had. they not incurred ? The house had therefore .a right to call upon them for explanation ; and explana tion was rendered the more necessary by the ex tremely suspicious, circumstances which attended the paper now Oh the table. Their Lordships would perceive that it was dated the.l9th of Ja nuary, only fotir days before .the meeting of Par liament. It avas true that the Noble Earl had said that the Circular of the Allied Powers wirs not intended for publication, and had come upon Ilian . by surprise. But if the principle which it asserted was known to him and to his Colleagues, it was their duty to remonstrate before its publi cation. As only four days had elapsed from the date of the Reply to the opening of the Session might not a suspicion be entertained, that it had only been issued to answer the purposes of discus sion in Parliament, and for no other end what ever ? But the suspicion did not rest there. What had been the conduct of his Majes ty's GoVernment towards the Allied Powers, whilst they were known to be preparing hos. tile measures against Naples I It had been One of perfect concord and amity. But how had they behaved to Naples? They had suspended all intercourse with 'the new Government! Ile saw the Noble Earl giving signs. of dissent; but he' repeated that the .functions of the British Minister at Naples had been suspended, and that the Atnbassador sent by the Neapolitan Govern ment to this country had been refused admittance. Did it not then appear, that his Majesty's Government had favoured in secret, that against which they had made a show of declaring open ly.? But thin was not ail.' At the/ vary t;ma - when Austria sent an army to the Italian frontier, a British squadron of unusual force, in time of peace, appeared in the Bay of Naples. For what purpose had this measure been adopted. :Was it to assist the Neapolitan Government, and to re pel the invasion of Austria.? No : our vessels were employed in carrying into effect the in famous removal of the King of Naples, from his own capital, to answer before the Allies for the constitution which he had consented to give to hi's people. We had been parties iu the exe cution of that unjust and disgraceful measure. he wished to ask whether we a had been parties HI advising it ?. Whether the British Minister at ,Naples had been admitted at those - councils= whether he had been present when the communi cation had been made, and whether this country had thus been made to co-operate in a degrada tion of the kingly . office,greater than any recorded in history, with the exception of the summoning of Ferdinand to. Bayonne, an act which had been justly, loaded with universal reprobation . ? . This was one of the point's -on which he wished to procure information, and he trusted that their Lordships would join in the call. The next con sideration would be the nature of the - paper which had been laid before the House. lf. it we re divested _of its verbiage, it would be found to disclaim the prineiple assumed by the Allies, as inconsistent with a system of international Law, and the independence of States. Refer ring to the events at -Naples, it then stated that the British Government had:not hesitated. , te ex ' press their strong disapprobation of the mode and circumstances under which that Revolu tion was understood to have been effected. — Now if his Majesty's 'Government had a right to express any disapprobation at all, it should only have been after having been put •in possession of the amplest information upon the subject. They however declared that they had received no such information. — They acted on what they merely " understood" to have been the case, and on such grounds they had not " hesitated" to express their . cen sure ! lie wished to ask whether this had been done without previously receiving through those . ehanne.ls of official intercourse which existed among all civilized States, these explanations which the Neapolitari Government might have been willing to give, and which might have produced a total change id their opinion ? If they had not done so, they had, in the very outset of their pro ceedings, shown an undue bias, inconsistent with ttwir profession's of impartiality.. The paper then expressly stated that " they should not con sider themselves called upon or justified to ad vise an, interference on the part of this, country," but admitted 46 that other European States, and especially Austria and the Italian powers, might feel themselves differently circum stanced, and . they professed that . it was no t their, purpose to prejudge the question as it might affect them, or, to interfere with the course which such States might, think' fit to adopt, with a view to their own security, pro vided only that they were ready to give every reasonable assurance that their views ,were not directed to ptirPoses of aggrandizement, ; subver sive of . the territorial. system of .Europe, as eStat-,. blished by the late Treaties." - He must say, that theconduct of his .Majesty's Government,as ex plaiued in this part .of,tbe paper, appeared to.. him most extraorditurry: They professed that : they would not interfere, and yet had suspended the diplomatic intercourse of this ,country-with Naples.: On what grounds bed that intercourse -been interrupted ? Diplomatic Ministers were the . legitimate channels of coinutunication between Sovereigns. If Sovereigns were changed, then, indeed, the appointment of new Ministers might • become necessary ; but ; was that the case at - Naples? A revolution had'taken place, but had, the King been changed ? No ; he remained the same ; he was acknowledged by the Army and . the People, but he. was, no. longer arbitrary. 7— ( lenga hear').. n- what grount.t. o)ereceit'eihad,‘ . • the British liinister . been changed Or - suspended ? On the ground that there had been a Revolution But were their Lordships to he told, that a volutiou effected unanimously by the . army and the people—a Revolution which maintained .the . Kiag on his Throne, and only limited his powers, justified such conduct on the part of our Govern-, ment ? Had the case been reversed—had the King`, of Naples, with the assistance of his army, over,- turned,a free Government, would -his. Majesty's Ministers have pursued a similar-line ofconduct ?. Their Lordships had seen the free Government of Spain, a Government which this country had. as,, sisted in ettablishing, overturned by Ferdinand at his return, but had any suspension of diploma- . tic intercourse followed that Revolution? Unlese, different rules should apply to Revolutions when effected by Kings or the people, ,a similar con , duct ought in the last instance to have been adopt-, ed. But in the present, it was the character of the Neapolitan Revolution which ,made the dif ference, because the powers of the King had been limited, instead of his subjects being chained. This was still more conspicuous in the case of where the very Government which we laad. been instrumental in giving to the people had, ' been overthrown by the King of Naples, and yet no suspension of diplomatic intercourse had on. curred. Did not the assembling of an army ou the Italian frontier, the summoning of the King to Laybach, the suspension of the British Mini;. ster at Naples, coupled with the Declaration• contained in the paper on the table, amount .to this :—that although we asserted the dela of an independent nation to regulate its own govern , ment, we admitted that Naples must be an ex- , cepted case ? This was one branch of the sistom of policy long since adopted by his. Mae. jesty's MinisterS ; a systein founded on the principle of convenience, and in whiCh the bae lance of power was tried to be carried into effect by territorial arrangements, instead of due ree sired for national rights. It was in execue Lion of that -system that the independence of -Genoa had been sacrificed to Sardinia; that of Venice to Austria ; of Saxony to Prussia ; and of Norway to Sweden !--From the'tnoment that the • principle of national rights was abandoned for that of convenience, a loose was given to all pree texts, which would not fail to serve -the purposes -of ambition. His Majesty's Ministers admitted that Naples was an excepted case, provided the Allied Powers gave reasonable security that their views were not directed to territorial aggrandize ment. But the only real security was the main tenance of the. principle of right and justice. What other,assurapce could be had ? Austria, in violation of right and justice, proceeded to occupy Naples :.that done, -what might be the conse quence ? lie was not one of those, who, cottsj,- 'tiering the, relati re means and resources .of -the two nations, could think that in the first instance any effectUal resistance could be made to Aus. 7. tria. _ .She would occupy Naples. But - .then x what security was there that having once occti, she could ever relinquish. Naples.. Could she give it up to the hostile spirit which she would have created ? Must she not heap' her armies in garrison amidst a justly exasperated people, to repress the continual efforts,at eman cipation which would he made, till they became irresistible ? Or, at best, must not Naples re . ;- main dependant on Austria, and would not that create jealousy and apprehension amongst the other States of Europe. It might prOduce the most unfortunate consequences.
