limpsiry lain the System of I.lcening. Hr had since moved
in the Court of King's Bench for a rule to skew cause rgainst
• the Magistrates, which having been granted, cause wla shewn
against the rule, by the affidavits of several persons, who had
been examined before the Committee, in which they swore
to cireumetauces diametrically opposite to the evidence
they had given Wore the Committee. The Petitiouer,
however, 'tad adopted a new course for obtaining a
remedy, in which it would be to his advantage to be
able to spew that those persons had given contradictory
testimony. The means, however, of doing so were not ill
his power, niches the Howie acceded to the prayer of his
present Petition; the principle of which was clearly recog-
nised to cases where the House itself had directed prosecu-
tions stganiat individuals who had given evidence at the bar
ur•hefore'its Committees.
Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST regretted he had not heard
the whole of the Hun. Member's speech, bat he had heard
cnough to convince him that it was a question well worth
the attention of the Hotter; and he would suggest tic a
Committee should be appointed, and the whole matter laid
b. fore the noose.
Mr. BENNETT understood the trial would come on to-
morrow; if it did nit, the sozgestion should be attended to.
After some ob.ervattuns from Mr. RI A BULLY and Mr.
IVYNN, Mr. BENNETT withdrew his tootiou.

or their territory can by possibility impart any
evil to their neighbours.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in answer, disclaimed,
as on the former occasion, till participation in the
views of the Allied Sovereign.. against the indepen-
deuce of Naples, but avoided every expression
which might seem either to convey an approval or
a censure of their conduct. He justified the Bri-
tish Government in the strict observance of neu-
trality, but declined acceding to the motion of
Lord GREY for the production of additional infor-
mation upon this subject, conceiving that it could
lead to no practical good, and that for the mere
purpose of uoderstsuding the object of the British
Government, the dispatch from the Foreign Office,
alteidy laid before the HOU•e, we. sufficient.
Several other Noble Lords delivered their senti-
ments upon this subject, when Earl GREY, finding
but little disposition in the House to support his
motion, although. he would not consent to walidniw
it, declined putting their Lorddiips to the trouble
of dividing.

We have received Parts Papers of the 15th and
16th at our office. We lament to find that a very
serious disturbance took place in Madrid on the
ti li or this moots, which at one time seemed to
tin-earn starnsiog conveniences. Tne intelligence
was received at the office of the C'oristhertionel by
express. Ii serials that the King of SPAIN, bring
displeoved at some disrespectful cries which had
reached him dining his promenade through the
city, complained of the circumstance to tile Muni-
c.liai Body, and measures were in consequence
adopted to prevent or punish such off,..tit•es. 011
tile 6 h the KING took his usual promenade, at-
tended by lii• body guards; but, says the accounts,
" seurcel) had his carriage passed the arcades of the
Palace, when some body guards, having their
naked sabres concealed under their coats, thew
them out, and cut at two of the people." For the
events that followed we must refer to the accounts
in another part of our paper. The circumstance
here stated, if correctly told, would prove that
there had been something like very dark treachery
!towards the people, a previous revolution to attack
them by surprise, and au arrangement loomed with-
in the King's Palace to give it the mote effect.
A eouttnottun al.o took place in this: city of Malaga,
that has excited serious apprehensions. We fear
that the great body of the people of Spain repose
no confidence in their KING, and we are vtill mole
afraid that tile KING dean' ves nothing better. 's'e
have ever suspected the sincerity of his vows, and
should not be much surprised if his MAJESTY were
to take uilvuotage of the first favourable ripportu-
nity that offered for attempting to resume the
authority of which he has been happily deprived.
