THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

LONDON, SUNDAY, APRIL 27.
ler the House of Lords on Thursday evening,
Lord Ellenborough moved an address to his Ma-
jesty, whisk, if curried, would have been tantatn,unt
to a censure on the conduct of Ministers in the
question of Peace or War between France and Spain
—the noble Lord was most ably supported by Lord
Holland, whose speech possessed a luminousness,
- which was scarcely diminished by the error of the
cause it was intended to serve—the division /hewed
an immense majority in &your of Ministers, and for
once, we do not ,regret it—we applaud the deter-
mination of our Government to remain neutral—we
have already tasted, though not yet to the dregs, the
bitter cup of distress prepared for us, by the infa-
mous expenditure, infamously incurred, in an infa-
mous war, for the infamous purpose of forcing upon
a gallant nation a family which they abhorred—and
we are by no means in a state for further Quixotic
movements—Sir F 'rtirsiThs Burdett thinks we should
protect Spain, and woull have a war for that
purpose commenced immediately—this might be
very well if we were tire flow the mill-stone of our
public debt—the income of the worthy Baronet is
nearly fifty thousand pounds per annum, and the
only difforenue to him, whether we be at war or at

' . .

peace, might probably be the increase or decrease of
a few thousands in his savings—but with the Poor,
the case is totally different—the ineehanic or labourer
who can now by the sweat of his brow furnish his
wife and children with three meals a day, and who
knows that he would be obliged to reduce that to
two meals a day, has a much more correct feeling on
the subject than any one can have who is wallowing
in superabundant wealth—when Sir Francis Bur-
dett speaks of distress he is wandering without the
guide of experience—he knows not what it is, for a
tether to be appealed to in vain for bread, by his
starving wife and children—we repeat, what we said
last week, that nothing short of absolute aggression
against ourselves .ought to draw England into a
war under all the existing circumstances.
Pord John Russell's motion fur Parliamentary
Reform was negatived by 280 against 169, from
which majority, if those who (being placemen or
pensioners) haie no honest claim to a vote, were de-
ducted, a triumphant number in favour of the mo-
tion would appear—as it ha, Reform is postponed—
but take place it will, we know, at no distant
period, and we only fear, that if not soon from
within the walls of the House, it will originate from
without.

We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday
fast, including those of the evening of that day.—
They contain an account of the occupation of Puy-
cerda, on the 14th of April, by the Ist regiment of
French light infantry. It appears that no Spanish
troops remained in the place. A detachment of 400
men of the regiment of Zamora, and about thirty
cavalry, the only constitutional force in the neigh-
bourhood, had left Poyeerda at three o'clock in the
morning, and the French regiment crossed the ad.
joining frontier, and entered at nine o'clock.
The Spanish news in the Eitile, which is always
to be received with distrust, abounds as usual in re-
ports favourable to the view oC the invaders.--'
Among other things, it is alleged that the members
of the Council of State in Madrid have drawn up a
protest against the removal of the King; that the
Municipality have concurred in this measure, and
have declared for the French. It is also stated that
the rebel partisan Mirales has destroyed the Coma.
tutional division commanded by Gen. Rotten, and
threatens the Sen d'Urgel, the speedy surrender of
which is anticipated. 'I he following article, in the
same paper, on a subject, with reference to which
its authority is less liable to suspicion, seems to con-
firm the capture of a Spanish ship by the French in
the West Indies :

The Ernest, arrived at Martinique from Havre on
the 2 lit of April, brings the news of the Jean Bart
having entered Martinique roads with her rich
prize.

The captain of the Annibal writes that this gal-
leon, for so he calls the prize, was a letter of marque;
that in the night she mistook the Jean Bart for a
nierchantman, and attacked her; this gate occasion
to the capture.

Wednesday last was the day which has been ap-
pointed for the celebration of the birth of the King,
since his Majesty's accession to the throne; and the
ordinary preparations were made for the occasion.
Among the ceremonies, what is called a Drawing.
room is the chief and most important ; and of this,
we regret to state, the Nobility, young and old, the
Gentry, real and aspirant, were deprived by the
most inopportune illness of the King. His Majesty
was mdch fatigued by the ceremony of receiving
company on Monday at the levee ; and a sudden fit
of the gout on Tuesday night gave but brief notice
that the pomp of Wednesday must be postponed or
omitted. A bulletin was issued, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy:—
" The King is not aisle to receive company at the Drawing
" Room to-day, his Majesty shaving expenenmd an attack of
" the gout in the nighlir.

" Carlton Palace, April as, te23

-.

This notification, however, came too lste fur many;
sad carriages began to bend their way towards the
Palma at the usual hour. Their course was arrested
by people placed fur the purpose, and much disap-
pointment was experienced. The nameless crowd,
which usually assembles to hear the music and ob-
serve the fine dresses, was longer in discovering the
absence of the accustomed eeremonial, and contiatted
before the Palace daring the whole afternoon.
We cannot look at this, and other similar occur-
rences, without feeling our regret.heightened by the
consideration of the state in which the Court and
Royal Family might have been !
The following favourable bulletin has been since
issued :--

" Carlton Palace, April Y 4. 1843.
"The gout, under which the King laboured yesterday, is
much mitigated." (Signed as above.)
There was no bulletin issued on Friday, but the
answer to the inquiries at Carlton Palace was,—
" The King has passed a favourable night, and,
altogether, is much improved in his health this
morning."

The present expectation is, bhould the King con-
tinue getting better, that his Majesty will hold a
Drawing-room on Wednesday next.

THE FUNDS, YESTERDAY.

HALF-PAST Two o'CLoCK.
An express from Paris came inast an early hour,
bringing the closing price of Rentes on Thursday
83f. 50c.—But ho particular intelligence from the
army in Spain.
Our market opened well at 771 a, and the guar-
city of business has been tconsid-erable. The ma
neuvres of the Bears have been so far successful,
that some few bargains were done at a—but the
market now stands at 77i to 4—very firm.
Amongst the rumours brought into action for
banging the market, was a pretended sale of five
hundred thonsand Consols—but as neither buyer
nor seller have yet been traced, tlie report was
traced to the incentive side of she account.
In Spanish, there has been a great stroke of
business. A Money sale of 100,0001. by an emi-
nent Jew broker, had the effect of reducing the
price from 331 to 311.. They have since recovered,
being now 33i to 1
Colombian Bonds maintain their price—b 6 to 87.
No public business in other Foreign.

A messenger belonging to the House of Commons
left London on Friday evening, to summon the at-
tendance of 27 witnesses at the bar of the House, to
give evidence on the inquiry that is to take place
into the recent legal proceedings in Dublin about
the riot in the theatre. Having summoned one
witness, who resides at Liverpool, the messenger
thence proceeds to Dublin.
His Majesty's Levee was numerously attended on
Monday lust. The company began to arrive at Carl-
ton-house about two o'clock, and it was nearly five
before the Court was over. There were present all
the State Ministers, several Dignitaries of the
Church, a great number of Lords and Commoners,
and Military and Naval officers. A military guard
attended as usual with the band, and several police-
officers and constables were in attendance, to pre-
serve the public peace. His Majesty appeared in
excellent health.
SEIZURE OF A COURT-DRESS.—The court-dress
of Mr. Secretary Canning, we are inibrmed, has
been seized on the premises of his tailor. Similar
dresses belonging to Lord Clan williara and Sir Henry
Wellesley narrowly escaped a like fate, by being
sent to their owners a short time before the arrival
of the officer. It appears that a considerable saving
is made in the expense of these gorgeous court-suits
by being sent to I'aris to be embroidered ; and it is
asserted that the illustrious personages above alluded
to first ordered plain suits to be sent, undertaking
to get them embroidered themselves. They were
accordingly furnished, and then sent to Sir Charles
Stuart, at Paris ' • and, after being gorgeously em-
broidered, and fit to appear before royalty, were
returned to this' country with, or as despatches, and
so escaped the vigilance of the Customs.
Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's, that a
Spanish privateer had taken a French ship laden
