THE NATIONAL REGISTER

In conclusion, however, this letter says, " whatever
may happen, Portugal will stick to what has been
done."

A letter from Messina, dated the 2 Ist of October,
says that tranquillity is perceptibly re-establishing
in the interior of Sicily.
On the 2d of November Borelli was elected Pre;
gaunt of the Neapolitan Parliament, Ruggiero Vice
President, and Dragonetti Secretary.—The Deputy,
Mazzoni, made a motion for the suppression of the
religious orders that their property should be
divided into small parts, and the produce applied to
objects of public utility. A report was read from
the Minister of the Interior, for abolishing feudal
rights in Sicily, and sent to a committee.
During the lute troubles in Palermo, a magazine
of gunpowder blew up, and 4.0 persons were killed
in consequence.

The Neapolitan journals are filled with offers of
the people, both of money and services in support.
of tho national• independence.

An article is inserted in the Journal des Debats,
under the head of Carlsruhe, Nov. 8, giving what is
said.to be.a copy of a letter from the Baron d'Ende
to Mr. Vizard, our Queen's solicitor, explaining
more fully his reasons for refusing to come over to
England. He repf...ca the pretence of his health
being very ill—being such as to require his most
serious, care;. he then pretends to have discovered, in
a speech of Mr. Brougham, something, so very inju-
rious to the memory of the late Grand Duke, his
master, that " he would lose all esteem for himself,
if he could lend himself to a.causs in which they
had dared to blatken JO unjustly his late Highness's
noble manner of acting;" and he sums up with
saying, that at any rate the testimony he could give
would not be of that use to her Majesty which it is
supposed. If that testimony could have injured her,
who imagines that Baron.d'Ends would have stayed
away ?

We have heard much of the insidious labours of
the Dissenters, to draw away the Socks from their
legal pastors ; but never, in our days did we ever
witness so deliberate a procedure carried on, to drive
every conscientious individual away from his parish
Church, as the measure which was countenanced by
the Reverend Bench of Bishops to punish an Illus-•
trious Individual, without even the form of a trial,
by excluding her name from the Liturgy. Talk,
ndeed, of the assaults of " tive Methodists," as cer-
tain men choose to designate all who differ from
them on any point--talk of,the assaults made by
such men " to overturn the venerable fabric of the
Church of England,"—what are they compared
with the new torpedo which has been introduced by
these " Sons of Wisdom ?" Was it ever known
since the Church of• England was established by
law, that Prayers were ordered by authority, of
such a nature as to make whole congregations si-
multaneously, and by one impulse, quit the Church,
and leave the Parson and •the Clerk to finish th..
Service alone? If " no alteration whatever• can
be made in the Public Service," the building of the
new Churches may be suspended without further
loss of time, and, ere lung, even the old ones will
become untenanted.

We received a Lisbon mail this morning contain-
ing most important intelligence, dated Lisbon, Nov.
1.2. It is unfortunately of that imperfect nature
which is just calculated to create anxiety without
at all satisfying it.
According to instruction given, the deputies were to tom at
Lisbon in the place of the Neetssidados, on theiló of 7 January,
isiO: the number is about tOo, and they were to ie,..ve a mot-
dore per diem. The scheme is formed on th. Jrf. odel,
with tome modification. The proclamation tio,• .. ,xupanitvl
the instructions is (smoldered as an eloquent pr..s:tion, and is
supposed to hare been drawn up by Francisco de San Louis, late
professor at the Univeisity of Coimbra, and now one of the
munbers of the Provisional Junta of the Supreme Government
of the Kingdom.
LISBON, Nor. very unlooked for circumstance has
occurred, which will render the above instructions nugatory.--
An attempt has been Made by General Texcint. Colonel Ant,.
du Silva, and Col. Cabreira, to turn out six of the member.; of
the Piovisional junta, at the point of the bayonet. All the
troops were called out under pretext of a review; they were
posted in different parts of the city, ball cartridges were dis-
tributed among Clem, and a number of pieces f
stationed in commanding positions, were loathed publicly, and
the matches kept lighttal. The schenie failed in part, for none
of the Members of the Junta were turned out, but the Spanish
Connitut;on was adopted and sworn to. Lisbon was thrown into
a state of the urcatca consternation, but no exces.ics were rota •

We perceive the signature of his Royal Highneita•
the Duke of Clarence to each of four Protests which
appear on the Journals of the Lords against the
withdrawing the Bill of Pains and Penalties—" Let
him who is without sin cast the first atone." Does
this profligate Duke suppose that the nation has.
forgotten his debaucheries with Mrs. Jordan, or that
they ever will forget them, while the impure pro.
duce of that disgraceful connection, tkeNajors, the
Captains, and the Misses Fit=lannee, are quartered
on the hued-earned gains of a suffering and oppressed.

the people of England can forget that, atter having:

Theatre, he allowed her to breath her last

in a state of superlative penury and distress; in fact,.
so entirely bereaved of all, as to be at last consigned
to the grave by foreign charity, in little better than
an old tea-chest tin a coffin. The Royal Duke forces •
upon us this revival of his disgrace.
COURT Or KING'S BENcH.SATURDAT,
A rule was•granted to show cause why • criminal
information should not be filed against the Earl of
Westmeath, for provoking Mr. Wood, a trustee for.
Lady Westmeath, to fight a duel.
The report which obtained very general eircule.•
tion early in the week, that the Bank Directors kola
determined to reduce then rate of discount from five
to fiur per cent , is, we understand, without foun—
dation.

It is said that his present Majesty, while Prince
of Wales, used to speak of a toorthy member of his-
family, (and they are so scarce that any one may
knew who we mean) as " Silly Billy,"—he might
with greater propriety speak of another, of proteet.-
ing notoriety, as " Wicked Billy."
