the whole course of the Kitto's
in the last seven years. A
priori:a; that a Select Committee
to examine all the Decrees
lets& during that period of
/pose of conlirsuilig such acts as
deserve to Ise confirmed; all must of course he
sc►utiuised, and it will be well for the former ser-
vants of the Crown if silence be the only mark of
censure. The KING has plated at the disposal aft
the Cortes the 69 Members of the former Cork*
who addressed the KING in 1814 against the cows
stittitiosial system of Goverument. This circom.
*home is the more singular, as the Cortes, in their
tollective capacity, have not demanded this humi-
liating act from the Govertiment. The club Lo-
reuriiii alone. we bel:eve, demouded this sacrifice
from the KING.-
A singular incident occured in the sitting of the
Path, which seetns to affect very sensibly the Papal
jurisdiction over the Church of Spain. Dun MA•
NCEL ABADY QuEtro, Bishop of Mechoacau,
intimated to the Cortes, that. being afflicted with
deafness, he was desirous of being relieved from
his pastoral duties, and expressed a wish that Don
LORENZO RIBERA, his assistant or coadjutor,
should be appointed by the Cortes to succeed to
hint in the episcopal office. The Cortes-will con-
sider of the Bishop's prayer in both its 'Wig, mid
by doing so will assume the power of regulating
the disposition of the untres throughout the
monarchy. The. sopeeme control over all eccle-
siastical property will its due time follow of course.
The Cortes have also exercised their controlling
influence upon the acts of the Government, for the
widow of General LACY having applied in vain to
the Ministers of the Crown for a copy of the pro-
ceedings against her gallant husband, presented a
petition to the Cortes that this small gratification
should not he withheld (sum her. The Cortes im-
mediately resolved that her request was *Bastard
be law, sod instructed the Government to accede
to her wishes.

From these and other circumstances, which will
be found more fulty detailed in another part of our
Paper, it is sufficiently evideut that the Corks are
fully aware of their paramount power in the State,
and that the KING has no disposition, at least fur
the pl.-sent, to dispute the exercise of it. Su long
us this disposition shall continue, harmony also will
prevail between the constitueut parts of the State;
but the authority of the Crown, limited as it now is
iu Spain, depends altogether ut the suftarat►ce of
the Corte's, and should the KING on any occasion
venture to doubt their wisdom or oppose their cu.
price, he must either coosent to some further re•
duction of his flower, or, in striving to retain it,
light up the flame of civil discord in the country.
The authorities of the KING and Cortes are not
sufficieutly balanced to munitions en equipoise on
the occurrence of any diff►culties, ■nd the Couatis
totion has provided no third Of iotersnedinte power,
to temper, by its wisdom and itifideisce, the nobs-
cretiolis of either of the other contending parties.

A flaniburgh Mail arrived last night with papers
to the 19,11 instant. A notice Vias issued on the
1311,, at Berlin, enforcing an order of police in
that city, prohibiting nil assemblages of people in
the streets, even though attracted by curiosity or
other innocent motive. A recent disturbance, in
which some drunken kiuritrymen are represented
as the principal actors, is the cause alleged for this
precaution, but we suspect the origin is of at more
serious nature. The people of Prussia have been
long amused with promises of a new COnsiitution,
and may be excused if they now evince a little im-
patience at the lung delay, of its completion.

Addresses to the Qu LEN continue to be poured in
from various parts of the country, expressing, in ener-
getic language, the sense of the public upon the
manner in which her MAJESTY has been treated by
the Ministers of the Crown tierce her return to Fog.
land. In the greater number of these Addrisses,
the point particularly noticed is the wound which
the proceedings against her MAJESTY it likely to
inflict Hi the Constitution of the country, by •
attailing the interests of Royalty. The Avower of
her MAJESTY to the Address from the town of
IVaketield, presented yesterday by Lord DUNCAN.
NON. will be found in soother part of this Paper.
It alludes, with feeling unit luteset', to the losses
'curtained by her MAJESTY in the deaths of her
gracious protector the late KING, of her daughter,
and of her gallant brother ;--it refers with dignity
to the insults oil' red to herself, and with a prophe-
tic seriousness to the evil conseqirerires that must
flow from the extraordinary mode in which her MA.
JESTY iiitS bre', aesailed. Iler MAJESTY repeats
the requratice of her innocence, which alone could
support her tinder her severe afflictions, and of
which she well rem:irks, i• tio Bill of Pains and
Penalties can ever •depiite her."

THE KING.—We are lairry to state. that the
gout in his MAJEsTY's left hand continues to de-
crease. Ilis 111.sat:sra's general health is very

The taking of the Italian evidence ngain-r the
QUEEN will Ise • new and curious spectacle in Eitg-
land. In every town end almost in every village of
Italy, a dialect, or rather a jarghn, is spoken, uuin-
telltgible every where else. Let au% person, for
instarice, however well acquainted with Italian, take
up one of the plays of CoI,DONt, of which the chin-
racier. are the lower inhabitants of Clitoexa, a town
in the Venetian territories, and he will fluid that he
is entering on a new language, just es 'Joy to no-
des:hind, without previous study, as Arabic. Who
is to trimine all these wititesses? What security
will there be that the interpreters of all these jar-
goos are correct ? How is the accused party to be
utile to cross-examine witnemes whose evidence,
from its unintelligihrlity, may supply food fur such
comtnentaty ? Will the translation of the answers
toile be Wirt' (luau by the short-ham' writer ? or
shall we have Italian shurt-hand writers its training
((or the ait of spurt-hand is not, we believe, yet
known in Italy) to take down the answers in pro-
vincial Italian, that the learned may iifterwerde be
consulted es to di I collies of interpretation ? We
should suppose it absolutely necet,sury to resort to
this precaution against fraud or ignorance ; fur
ouirly the House of Lorde, who can know hale of
Italian shag themselves, would not choose in it case
of this paramount imptittaiice, to be altogether at
the mercy of a few interpreters.
