are to prevail in the decision of a great question of
constitutional right, or yield to the desires sod
caprices of the Sovereign or his Ministers.
. . We cannot abstain from drawing particular
attention to a circumstance of an extraneous
nature, which was intimated to the Council by
Mr. BROUGUAM, but _on which we shall offer no
comment. It seems dist Mr. BROUGHAM, while
pursuing this laborious ioquiry, had occasion to
refer to the Liber Regions, which is deposited in the
care of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster.
For this purpose he applied for permission to the
guardians of the • sacred deposit, hat he was re-
fused access to its treasures, the Dean and Chapter
declaring that they could not suffer him to peruse
the records contained in it unless he came fortified
with the authority of the King or of the law. No
such difficulty was experienced in obtaining access
to the records in the Tower or the British Museum,-
and let it he observed, that if in these places he hod
chanced to encounter a similar want of courtesy,
the indulgence granted by the Kilts to the QUERII
of allowing her claim to be argued before the Privy
Council would have been rendered absolutely nu-
gatory for her interests.
The -Priv, Council, immediately upon Mr.
Baotiost All's application, required the precious
book to be produced, and for the purpose of al-
lowing the Queen's Counsel sufficient time to
examine its contents, they adjourned the forth.?
hearing of argument unlil this day at tee , 'eoclt..
It is intended that Mr. DIXIIIAN shall follow
Mr. BROUGHAM in his argument, and :t is further
understood that the hearing of her MAJorrt's
Counsel shall not be extefded beyond ibis day.

The Paris Papers of Mondiy feat have arrivo.
They contain intelligence fr 4411 Madrid to the
2441 last. A considerable agitation was felt in
that capital on the 19th. The troops were under
arms in various quarters, but the cause was pot dis-
tinctly avowed. A conspiracy was mentioned, but
it was • vague rumour.—The iNelligeuce from
Turkey is, as usual, destitute of any authentic

We hate recalVed Spanish Papers, but their con—

• from nine to three o'clock daily. It is a great
gratification, and displays a most kind consideration
for the public. Many persons of distinction are
now leaving town, who will not have an opportunity
of seeing them at a future time. We presume the
Earl Marshal, actuated by a like liberal feeling,
will issue tickets fur the Abbey.
It is reported that on the occasion of the Coro.

The Coronation of his late MAJESTY took place
in September, 1761, and the Worcester Jourao/ of
that date gives the following account of the mode
adopted to celebrate the event in that city:—" In
the morning the Mayor and Corporation. together
with the various Companies (who displayed their
respective ensigns and streamer.). went in grand
procession to the Cathedral, where the Dean
preached a sermon adapted to the day, and HAN-
DEL'S Coronation Anthers: wasirerformed : at noon
the Citizens dined together at the principal inns.
During the day the bells of the various churches
rang incessantly, and at All Smits was perforined
a peal of grandsire triples. the whole being 1,163,
the number of weeks which made his M•JUTY's
age."
One trait of BONApARTE'S character displayed
itself in his last moineuts, which marks the " rul-
ing passion strong in death!" As he found his end

pired. It has been asserted that the vessel which
brought the dispatches. also brought the body
of BoNAPARTE to England, but this we under-
stand is not the cute. His attendants wished his body
to be conveyed to Europe ; but on opening his will
it was found that he had left a request that it
should be interred iu the island, anal pointed
