SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4.

ht our Parliamentary Report of to-day is given
the Message of her Majesty, in which she distinctly
and very properly says, that she will accept of no
allowance from the House of Commons till justice
shall be done to her name by its restitution to that
place in the Liturgy, from which neither law,
honesty, nor propriety, can be urged in defence of its
omission. We really do not see how her Majesty
could have acted otherwise--she might as well have

accepted quietly,the infamous offer which was made
her by the agent of his infamous principals at St.
Omer's—she might as well have taken the 50,0001.
per annum which were offered to her by Lord Hut-
chinson, tc tacitly confess herself guilty of crimes
of which she knew her innocence, and which inno-
cence has since been made decidedly manifest to
every unbiased and honest mind, as to now submit
to the disgrace of accepting from the present House
of Commons (whose recent. vote on Lord Archibald
Hamilton's motion proves that it is less than any-
thing the organ of the voice of the people of Eng-
land) an allowance of pecuniary means, while the
same House proves itself, by the vote alluded to, to
be ready to brand the persecuted wife of their Mo-
narch with a badge of disgrace which she does not
merit. We rejoiced at the first skew of magnanimity
which prompted her appearance instanter in England
—we have applauded her subsequent actions, and
none of them merits our applause more than the last
—she may, and no doubt does, rely upon the Eng-
lish spirit, which has, does, and will support the
oppressed against the oppressor—there is a way yet
to obtain the IZtoml ', and though Ministers may
resist it, after they know such a way still remains,
they would not only slow their prudence, but
might preserve the little of character that is left to
them, by coming thrward anti declaring, that they
bad advised the restitution of the Queen's name to
the prayers of her people.
We cannot quit this subject without record-
ing our abhorrence of the base, cowardly, un-
manly feeling which can prompt men in debate to
stigmatize as guilty, a female of distinguished fa-

mily, and exalted mind wbo has been virtually de-
clared innocent, even by a tribunal in which every
thing that savours of prejudice against the accused,
and partiality and interest towards serving the
views of the positive prosecutor was to be found—
that the same feeling which caused " every
hair of his head to stand an end" when he
heard the laudable, honest, and constitutional
expressions of the worthy Baronet (Sir Francis
Burdett), whose committal to the Tower he after-
wards moved, should have prompted the same man,
after having that beautiful figure of speech re-
warded by an appointment to a Colonelcy in the next
Saturday Night's Gazette,to abuse his Queen with
falshood does not surprise us—but we did, and do
lament that the Member for Surrey should have also
committed himself by shewing his ass-like de-
termination to have a last kick at what he
may consider as a fallen lion—Le bon, ta•ons
I viendra, and these two honourable members will live
to see the time when their Queen will 3liew her
natural nobleness, by allowing their contemptible
conduct to find its safety in the oblivion it &serves.

Lord Cochrane has taken Lima, after a tremen-
dous resistance. Four of the vessels were sunk.—
The fleet was composed of 20 sail. Panama was
declared for the Independents, owing to the success
of Lord Cochrane. The Chili squadron, destined
fur the attack of Lima, arrived and took possessi m
of I'isco, without resistance. The tromps were few
in number, and retired ten days after into the inte-
rior, The Viceroy of Peru sent a flag of truce to
General San Martin, requesting an interview, to
see if the differences between the mother country
and Chili could be arranged. The armistice was
agreed on, and a meeting took place, which lasted
till the 13th of October, when the deputies sepa-
rated. Immediately on the arrival of those of Chili
at Pisco. General San Martin broke the armistice,
and soon after took a small town. The town of
Guaypuil declared itself for the Independents on
the 6th of October. On the 24th accounts reached
Lima, stating that General San Martin was re-
embarking his forces.
The two proclamations subjoined were received
on Thursday by the Eliza, from Trinidad ; the one
gives the important intelligence of the junction of
Guyaquil with the Independents of Columbia ; the
other that of the defection of Reyes Vergas, a de-
scendant of the ancient caciques, and a uuut of the
first importance in that country (Venezuela), from
the royalist cause. By this proclamation it appears
that Morillo, at the time of signing the armistice,
was completely between two fires; Bolivar being at

Immediately after the courier was despatched the
following intelligence of the delivery of Guyaquil
was received. I send your Excellency a literal
transcript of the despatch :
" I have the satisfaction of communicating to you an event of
the greatest importance to the cause of the country.
•` On the morning of the 9th the trawl stationed here, in con-
junction with the inhabitants, displayed the flag of independence
with the greatest enthusiasm. Order was so completely observed
that this transaction had more the appearance of a public rejoicing
thnn a revolution.

" I have hastened to communicate the intelligence, as it must
influence your military operations, in concert with which I, as
Commandant General of this province, will neglect no effort by
which I may contribute to the freedom of the surrounding dis-
tricts, which cannot fail to be now in motion, or at least prepared

by your common enemy. I have warred with a liberticidal hand,
which ought only to have been raised in defence of the country ;
but the convulsions of our ancient mother country has given me
important lessons on the rights of men. Spain herself has taught
me that even a King is but the subject of his people, and that the
real Sovereign is the people. When alienated trim reason, I
thought, like my ancestors, that the King was the legitimate
lord of the nation ; I then with pleasure exposed my lite in his
defence ; but now that the immortal Quiroga and Itiego have,
with their freedman -bearing arms, discovered the impresetiptible
titles of the nation, I have become convinced that the Spanish
and the American people equally possess the right of establishing
a Government consistent with than own opinion, and fur t
own prosperity.
My old companions in arms !—The Spanish constitution ex-
cludes you, under the pretext of being At ricits, from the advan-
tages which the constitution of Columbia gives you. There we
are treated as nullities in society. Ilere we ate the first citizens
of the Republic. Believe me, my friends, our anus have been
employed to our own injury. Return with dam to our native
country, and you will be received with the some indulgence as I
have been. I was its greatest enemy-1 am now its must zealous

KINGS BENCH,

SATURDAY, Fen. 3.

Tug KING V. SIR V. ■URDETT.

The Court was yesterday morning crowded at an
early hour. Amongst tthe dictiognished persons who
were present we observed, Lord Lowther, Lord Ossul-
ston, the I.lonnienry Grey Bennett, and other mem-
bers of the House of Commons.

As soon as the Lord Chief Justice took his seat he
delivered the decision of the Court on Mr. Scarlet 's

motion, to arrest the judgment. 11 is Lordship said, in
support of the first objection urged by the Learned
Counsel, that it did not appear with sufficient certainty
un the record that the libel in rpiestion was " of and
concerning the Government." He had cited the judg-
ment pronounced by Lord Chief Justice de Grey in the
King r. Shipley, for the law on the suhject. His Lord-
ship, after reading part of that judgment, was of opinion
that the libel in that case was clearly distinguishable
from the present. The general character of the coin.
position in that case, was clearly on the face of it, was
of an :distract and hypothetical nature, and on the re-
cord there was nothing to shew its connexion with the
existing state or circumstances of this country, and that
must hive been the ground of the judgment pronounced;
but in looking at the record in the present case, the
libel would be found to he of a very diffzrent nature.—
The writer begins by stating, that lie had read something,
of which lie meant to treat ; lie had not said, indeed,
that the act was done by order of the Government, ur
even that the Government had any knowledge (alit; but
it was 11111103.114 e liar any person to read those passages in
which the writer wishes public meetings to he held, and
concludes with the memorable expression, " England
exrects every man to do his duty," without understand-
ing it as a strong invitation for the people of England to
meet in maintain their rights; and how could they be
pin in jeopardy, but from the acts of the Government 1
It therefore was clearly a paper written "of and con-
cerning the Government." The other objection as to
the want of certainty respecting the troops employed,
did appear to the Court to be maintainable, but sup-
posing that not to be sufficiently defined, the libel was of
and concerning one matter, and in the opinion of the
Court there was !natter sufficient for a criminal infor-
mation, and, on the whole tthat no rule ought to be
°ranted to arrest the judgment.

- -
The Attorney General then prayed judgment on Sir
Francis Burdett.—Toe worthy Baronet, who had tett
previously sent for, appeared in Court.

A greater number of affidavits were then pot in on
behalf of the defendant. They occupied the whole of
Ow day in reading, and most probably will a great part
of Mouthy also. They relate, so far as they have gone,
to the citeomstanres atending the celebrated Jlanches.,
ter meeting. It is questionable if the Court will be
able to wire at the judgment in the course of the Term.
From the number of Counsel who are to be heard,
namely, five for the defendant and three for the Crown,
taking. the case of Major Cartwright also in the account,
the pleadings are very likely to °v:min the 'recto.

Lteet..—Mr. Scarlett moved for a criminal informa-
tion against it. F. Weaver, it. Arrowsmith, and Win.
Sh iekell, theyroprietors and printer of a palter called
./uhn Bull. The libel was published in No. V. of that
p.iper, and was headed •• Queen's Visitors." He ought
to observe that the paper in question was full of libels
against her Alajesty, but with those he had nothing to
do; that was the proper business of his Majest)'s Attor-
ney General. The libel stated, that the Countess of
Thankerville, Lady Mary Bennett, and Ossuls on
(a foreigner) could nut refuse the entreaties of the
male par. of the family to visit the Queen. Lady Caro-
line Wrottesley (Lady Mary's sister) having teen de-
tected in a criminal intrigue with het menial servant.—
The Learned Counsel said he should not make any ob-
servations on the libel , but would merely read the affi-
davits on which he found his motion. He thch read the
affidas its of Sir J. Wrottesley, which stated, that in
1795 lie was niartied to the daughter of the Earl of
Tnankeiville, with whom he lived ior SW years, when
she died 111 Ins arms, leaving a faintly of five children
the tallislavit added that she was a lady of the strictest
tumour and chastity, arid there was nut the sh...htest
&outs I for the infamous aspersion which had liven pub-
lished. He had also the affidavits of Lady Thatikerville.
and of Lord o,sulston, and the Hon. Mr. Bennett (bro-
ther to the late Mary IVrottesley), to the same effect.—
The Court granted the rule.
The Qu r. Brougham moved for a crimina I
inforinatio.i against the Rev. Richard Blacow, M. A:
fur a libel published iu a pamphlet at Liverpool, pro-
lissiitg to be die substance of a discourse preached at St.
Mark's Church, in that town, on the Vtith November
last.

'Fite reverend atitlior admitted the publication of the
pamphlet.
The Learned Counsel then read an extract from t'ee
work, which states, " that It ad 'cal isin hail one feature
more disgusting than Jac.ibtausiii."—" They (the Ja.
Coblll9 tell down and worshipped the goddess of easo:i,
but the Ratite:vs tell down and vsorshipped the goddess
of lust, an ohjett of all others, the most worthy of their
adoration.' lhe then went on to state, that this
goddess of lust had exhibited herself in two or three
(planers of the globe, and even violated the holy sepul.
core itself whit her presence, to which she was carried
mock triumph astride upon ass ass; that she returned
iu this country so broil& d mid callous to shame—
Toe Lord Chief. Justice.—" You hare read quite
enotigh."

no! f.r any matter of whiten her had been ac-
cused in any other ylace—it is hoe going to chore-I.
