The Session of the Cortes of Spain seems to sp.
preechits (animation, for the irsiernbly had chosen
the permanent deputation which is to watch over

the affairs of the nation during the adjournment of
•the Legislative Body. The duties of the depute.
tion are to watch over the execution or the laws,
for the purpose of giving en account to the Cortes,
on its reassembling, of such infractions' us may
have been committed, and to convoke the Cortes
on the occasions prescribed by the Constitution,
such as the vacancy of the Throne, or when the
KING shall find himself in any extraordinary em.

barrassments. The deputation consists of seven
members, of whom three are Americans, and four
Europeans.
Some intelligence from Troppou, the scene of
the present Congress, will be found in our extracts
from the French Papers. It will be seen that Lord
STEWART, the British Ambassador to the Court of
Austria, has submitted • note to the Sovereigns
there assembled, relative to the affairs of the Two
Sicilies. IThe note is said to be " important," but
no intimat is given of its object or tendency—
whether it be Gained for protecting the rights of
nations, or fur the purpose of lending the counte-
nance of the British mime to a flagitious conspiracy
against the liberty of Naples.

The Paris Papers wake no particular mention of
the state of the King of Fitauct'a health, but it
appears that his MAJstry performs all his wonted
duties, such as presiding in the Cabinet, and trans-
acting busmen with his Ministers individually.
One of these paper. contains u copy of • letter
addressed epy the Baron D'Estust to Mr. VIZARD,
in which he affirms that the Grand Duke exercised
no COMM! over him whatever with respect to his
appearing in London as a witness for the QUEEN,
but that his health 'prevented him from undertaking
the jeurirey. He complains of an attack made
by Ildr. Baononast on the character of the late
Grand Duke of BADEN as wholly unfaiinded,
and concludes by giving his positive refusal to ap-
pear as a witness, declaring also that his evidence
could be of no advantage to her MAJESTY.

The Provincial Papers abound with accounts of
the rejoicings over the country, in celebration of
the abandonment of the Bill against the QUEEN.
In Bath, Grantham, and several other places, we
regret to learn, that in consequence of the excesses
of the popul ice in attacking the houses of incite'.
duals who refused to illuminate, it was found ne-
cessary to read the Riot Act, and call out the mi.
litany. These measures had the desired effect in
ret.toring tranquillity, and, we are happy to add,
witl► very little personal injury.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT
TO HAMMERSMITH CHURCH YESTERDAY.

On Wednesday !Mau intention of her MAJESTY
was communicated, Int letter, to the Rev. Mr. ATT.
WOOD, Vicar of the parish ; he instantly, in the
most respectful manner, expressed his readiness to
make the necessary arrangements fur her IVIAJESTIr'II
convenience, offering, at the same tionc„ his own
pew for her personal use. Mr. HISRONYMUS, by
whom the letter had been conveyed to Mr. A TT.
WOOD. then waited upon Mr. Gowan, the Chu►ch-
warden, to whom he also stated the wish of his itlit
Mistress, adding, that it was her MAJESTY's desire
11141 she might be received in the plainest manner,
and with as little ostentation as possible.
On Friday • meeting of the parish officers was
held, for the purpose of arranging the mode in
which her MAJESTY was to be received. when it
was agreed that the commands of her MAJESTY
should be attended to with as much strictness as the
convenience of her MAJESTY would permit. The
only additional preparations agreed to be snide
were to provide a slate chair, covered with crimson
cloth, with a footstool, and a table also covered
with crimson cloth, which were ordered to he placed
in Mr. ATTWOOD'S pew. The flooring of the pew
was ordered to be covered with Turkey carpeting.
Three pews adjoining that of Mr. ATTWOOD'S
were assigned for the accommodation of her MA-
JESTY'd suite. These pews are all close to the
pulpit.
All the necessary preparations having been made,
her MAJESTY yesterday morning arrived at the
church in her state carriage, drawn by a single
pair of horses. She was attended by Lady MANIC•
TON, the Hon. KePPEL CRAVEN. and M. WM.
AUSTIN.

Mr. Alderman WOOD and Count VASSALI, who
had arrived some short time previously, handed
her MAJESTY from the carriage at the gate of the
church-yard; and preceded by the Reverend Dr.
ATTWOOD and the Reverend Mr. LEOGATT, pro-
cersled to the pew prepared for her MAJESTY. A
mating and carpet being laid from the, church-hard
g.,te to the church door, the officers of the parish,
with white staves, firmed n line for her NIAJEsTv to
pass along without impediment from the multltirte
• ho crowded the church-yard. The assembly outside
the church had been cautioned that, having regard to
the sacredness of the time and place,it would be in-
decorous to receive her MAJESTY with the usual
clamorous expressions of loyalty; in consequence of
this motii•ion the asst-tabled multitude expressed their
homage by takingoff, heir hats and standing uncover.
ed in respectful silence as her MAJESTY moved
from her carriage to the church. On entering the
pew, her MAJESTY did not occupy the crimson
velvet chair which had been provided for her,
but seated herself with her face to the pulpit ; Lady
ANN HAMILTON being rented beside her MA-
JESTY, and Mr. Wm. AUSTIN, Mr. R EPPEL
CRAVEN, Mr. Alderman WOOD, and Count VA,-
'ALI sitting on the benches on the right and left
hand and opposite her M IJESTY, a small table be-
ing placed inthe midst on which lay her MAJESTY'S
prayer-book. The two adjoining pews were occu-
pied by some persona of her MAJESTY'S household.
The Rev. Mr. LEGOATT read the prayers aid
leeriest" for the day, after which the Rev. Dr.
ATTWOOD. the Vicar. preached • sermon, t thing
his text from the gth chapter of Jeremiah, and 24710
verse. " But let him that glorieth, glory in this,
that he understendeth and knoweth me, that I am
the Lord, which ext-cise loving-kindness, judgment
and 'ngliteourness, in the earth : for in these things
1 delight, with the Lord." The discourse of the
worthy Vicar was of general application, without
the slightest 'Minion to the particular circumstances
of his Illustrious Auditor. After the service was
over, her MAJESTY and Lady A. IlAmtt.rox took
the Holy Sacrament together, her MAJESTY kneel-
ing at the Communion table.4on e crimson velvet
stool. When the solemn ceremony was over. the
QUEEN retina from the church, atteteleil in the
same manner us on her arrival ; but on this occasion
some of the persons assembled outside could not
refrain from giving audible expression to their feel-
ings by a shout of triumph.

The road near the church was crowded with
carriages full of company, who were waiting to see
her MAJESTY. Every part of the church itself
was crowded to excess, and several tattier: who came
in their carriages after the service had commenced,
were obliged to return without bring able to gain
admittance. The utmost order and decorum pre-
vailed throughout, and notwithstanding the pressure
of the crowd, not the smallest accident occurred.

her MAJESTY wore, as a head-dreas. ■ cap of
*me blue sursuet, with a superb lace veil thiown
over it. iler MAJESTY'S cloak was of the Milne
colour as her cap, mid trimmed with ermine.

Fier balsam never looked in better health, and
boned ruciously from her carriage as it drove off.
Aldermen WOOD followed in his own carriage.

we do isosi, that an nuttier:lime order from the
Privy Council will restore her MAJESTY's name to
the Liturgy. The Clergymen of the estahlishinent
are very unpleasantly situated in this respect, acting
es many of them do, against their own feelings, sa
well as in opposition to the wishes of their parish-
ioners."
