HOUSE OF LORDS, SATIMDAY. Amu.
At two o'clock, pursuant to adjournment, the
•finuse met to receive the report from the Commons
of the person elected by them to be their Speaker
in the prereut Parliament. The Deputy Usher of
the Slack Hod was sent to the House of Com-
mons to desire the atteudance of the House to bear
the Royal approval given by commission. The
Conintissireiers were the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Westmorland. Lord Shaftesburyond Lord Melville.
The Commons. with Mr. M. Surroo, their
newly-elected Speaker. immediately appeared at
the bor. and the Speaker. addressing the Commis-
sioners in the ual terms. informed them, that the
Commons. overlooking his imperfections, and not
considering how inadequate he was to perform
the duties of his situation, had chosen him their
Speaker. sktid he now attended to entreat his Ma-
jesty would be graciously pleased to confirm and
approve their choice. If, however, his Majesty
should in his wisdom see reasons to reject him, he
had no doubt but the Commons would soon select
from their body some individual more competent
and better qualified to discharge the high and im-
portant Antics of the situation than he was.
Ti.e Lean CHANCELLOR then, CM the part of
his Maj-sty. stated, that the Commissioners had it
commaoil to declare his Majesty's approbation
of the choice which his faithful Commons had
come to.

The SPEAKER then. after expressing his grati-
tude ti. his Majesty for his gracious approbation,
proceeded. in the name and behalf of the Cont-
inuos, to lay claim to all their ancient rights ■nd
privileges; amongst them lie especially enumerated,
freedom of speech, protection of their firearms and
those of their servants from arrest, and free access
to the Royal presence whenever they should see fit.
The Loup Cli•micaLLoa said, the Commie-
sinners had it in further command from his Majesty
to grant to the Commons all their privileges in as
full owl ample a mariner as they had been granted
ow uily f.•roner occasion.
The SPEARER. on behalf the Commons, thanked
31,,jesty, and further requested, that should coy
thing wrong ■rise in the course of their proceed-
ings, his Majesty would be graciously pleased to
vispute it to his deficiency in the performance of
the high and imikirtinit duties intrusted to hint,
and Ma to any intention ou the part of his faith,
fu 1 COT mous.
The Loan CRANCELLOR, as behalf of his Ma-
jeste, answered this request with au affirmative, at
the ,nine time expressing the confidence he had in
:the itiirwily, honour. and ability of the Right Hon.
Clentlemen, for his properly discharging the trust
which the confidence of the Commons reposed in

The Commons then, accompanied by their
Speaker. retired to their own House.
S.ver.l Peers. amongst whom we observed his
iilnyel Highness the Duke of Sussex, &c. &c.
were sworn in, and soon after their Lordships ad-
journed.

now implore them to give him their constant sup-

which were not only theirs, but the privileges of

sitootion as to give satisfaction to the House,

LONDON.
MONDAY. Aram 24, MO.

Our readers are aware that at the commencement
of the State trials now in progress at the Old Bai-
ley, the Court peremptorily forbad the publication
of any of them in the newspapers until they should
have been all finished. This order, with which the
daily press has complied, was yesterday violated
by a weekly orwspaper, is which the trials of This-
tlewood and lags were reported at length. Having
had Reporters in attendance daily at the Old
Bailey during the week, we have been furnished
with an accurate report of the proceedings, but
were and contiuue restrained from publishing
them by the order of the Court. Were we now to
violate that order, the precedent furnished by den
Sunday Paper might, perhaps,•be w►ird in-miti•
gation of the offence. but would noi,,we ritel..fre
a justification. Our subscribers will, therefore•
we trust, give us credit for the sense of public dotty
and respect fur the Court which infleence our

conduct in confirming to withhold the publitojoit
while the interdict renusins iu force.

The Constitutions/ of Paris having stated that
some commotion, were preparing in the town of
Avignon, and that the celebrated TarnAiLLon
had arrived there with three or four hundred la.
bourne. from Nimes, the Mayor of Avignon ham
given the 'element a formal contradiction.

These Papers confirm the previous accounts re-
specting the recent changes in the Spanish Ministry.
They further state that the King of SPAIN,
desiring to conform to the wishes expressed by se.
vend of the Provinces, has commanded the Cortes
to assemble on the 9111 of Junes instead of the 9th
of July, the period first appointed for that purpose.
The Ktliet and Quays seem to enjoy a high degree
of popularity in the capital ; they appear frequent•
ly in public, and are uniformly received with
demonstrations of affectionate loyalty by the people.

O.I)ONNYL, the Count de I'Abisbsl, is not so
happy, fur iu cousequence of his equivocal conduct
he has been driven from the club Loreseimi, as un-
worthy of the confidence of the Patriots, and his
gratuitous exposition of his treachery to the KING
hes, of course, closed the doors of the Palace
against him.
General MINA, it is said, has refused to acknow-
ledge as political head of the province of Navarre,
M. Escunatto, who was appointed by the Kure to
that office. ESCUDERG is a native of Navarre, and
was appointed a deputy to the Cortes by that pro.
since its 1810, but MINA apprised him that he
would nut suffer him even to enter the city of
Patopeluna. A rumour, it is said, prevailed in
Pampeluna, that a Junta, in opposition to that
which has brew formed by the KING at Madrid,
was established at Valladolid, sod that several pro-
vinces had sent deputies to it, and that MIKA 1113.•
mtdiately dispatched two young Officers thither on
behalf of Navarre, althoegh he obtained no autho-
rity from the iuhabitaats for that purpose. But it
is difficult to believe such a story.

Soule alarming rumours respecting the state of
Catal were received in Madrid is private let•
ten from Barcelona. The people give themselves
up to the wildest anarchy, raising and deposing
their Magistrates at their pleasure. They profess
themselves Republicans in spirit, sod declare
against a King " whether constitutional or not
constitutional."

The investigation of the massacre at Cadiz is in-
trusted to General SALVADOR. who devotes himself
to the inquiry with unwearied seal. Generals
FILZYIAI,CAIIIPANA, and RODZIGUEZ VALDEZ. ■re
regarded as being deeply interested in the results.
A hope of improvement begins already to beam
upon the finances of Spain. The Royal Vales
hove increased considerably iu credit : they are now
at 60 per cent.

THE CLUB LORENCINI.
