proposition was carried by a majority or 6, to
17. Lieutenant-General FELANGIER,I has ad-
dressed a letter to the PRINCE REGENT., resign-
ing his Commission.--From the Milan Paper it
appears that the aged King of NApLts was pro:.
ceeding by slow journies to Lay bach, owing to the
'obstructions offered by the deep snows of the
Appennines: on the 2d instant he had reached
Modena. It is reported-that the Allied. Sove,
reigns willsrnfirch at", the head-. of'their
should the conferences at Laybach not have a
pacific termination.

The last intelligence from Spain represents
that country as being a prey to the numerous
bands of robbers who traverse all the provinces,
carrying on an extensive system of plunder and
devastation. Letters from Madrid of the Gth inst.
confirm the report of the invitation sent by the
Allied Sovereigns to the King of , Spain, to be
present at the Congress, and also state that the
permanent Deputation of the Cortes actually

assembled on the 4th, very late at night,

to take the same into consideration. It was
the.general belief, that the KING would not be
permitted to leave the Kingdom.

It would appear that the report of Ali
Pacha having made his peace with the Porte is
premature, for advises from Constantinople of
the 11th December state, that more vigorous
measures have been adopted to reduce his for-
tress and bring him to justice..

The general alarm arising from the daring
progress of Sedition, which has induced all well-
disposed people to come forward with demon-
strations of loyalty and devotion to our admi-
rable Constitution, has naturally excited the
clamours of Party. The Loyal Addressers are
said by the factious writers to meet in secret, and
to prepare their Addresses in holes and corners.
This is a ridiculous, as well as an unjust, charge;
far we find that wherever the real friends of their
KING and Country may assemble, they are sure
to_be haunted by the Spirit of Faction. What
Loyal Meeting has taken place, in any part of
the country, at which there have not been some

intruders, who came for the purpose of creating
disturbance and confusion ? We find that those
Strolling Orators, WOOLER, THELWALL, &c. not
content with attending the Meetings for their
own inflammatory purposes, where they are pro-
perly at home, thrust themselves into assemblies
intended to support the Constitution and pro-
mote harmony among the People at large. These
itinerant, Declaimers, these Pedlars in politics,
who would probably be wholesale dealers in de-
mocratical mischief, if they should ever obtain
an ascendancy, have lately confined their obtru-
sions to Meetings not far from the Metropolis ;
but if they possessed convenient means, can it be.
doubted that they would spread themselves in
all directions over the Country, in order to poison
the minds of the unthinking multitude ? We
find that the charge of secret measures is alleged
against those distinguished Mercantile Characters,
who have openly announced their intention to
celebrate the Accession of his MAJESTY to the
Throne. They are also accused of having held
themselves forth as the representatives of the
chief, if not the whole,- of the great Mercantile
Body in the Metropolis ; but the fact is other-
wise, and ♦C a plain.• tale" would " set down"
their malevolent accusers, if the latter were•not
wholly callous to shame and decency, for the
respectable body in question commence their
Declaration in the following terms :—" We, the
undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Traders,'? &c.
&c.. What now becomes of the charge of arro-
gant assumption against characters of the highest
respectability, who expressly confine themselves
to a Declaration from men of their own loyal and
constitutional principles ? We observe that a
respectable. Morning Paper advises this body of
eminent men to attend the ensuing Meeting at '
the Mansion House. Our opinion is wholly dif-
ferent, for it is by no means probable that they
would be suffered to speak on the occasion; and
if they were, it is impossible to suppose that they
would speak to any purpose among men who are
too strongly imbued with the spirit of Party, to
attend to any opinions but their own, and there-
fore the inevitable consequence would be insult,
turbulence, and confusion.

PERSIA AND RUSSIA.—There are not less than

ten thousand Russians in the pay of the Persian
Government in various situations, but principally
in the Versian Army, which is mostly officered
by Russians, and who possess, we believe, a most
powerful and injurious influence in the Persian
Court.

The Opposition Scouts state, that the Minis-
ters will probably have a majority of only one
hundred on the first division in the next Ses-
sions, and that the accession to their ranks of
many independent Members will oblige the Mi-
nistry to retire; but who will believe these anti-
cipations of the Whigs
