SITTING OF OCTOBER 28.

At ten in the morning the Sitting commenced in
private, and continued till four in the afternoon,
when it was made public. The Senors Don Pedro
Agar, the Marquis del PalaciO, and agn Josef Maria,
Puig ent,Ted to take the oath.
Senor Agar took it in the established form. The
Marquis of Palacio followed, who swore to the two
first articles of the formula ; and to the third he
added, "'I do swear, without prejudice to the oaths
which I have already taken to King Ferdinand the
\Witt." The Meeting and the Public were sur-
prized., The President observed, that this aet did
not admit of more words than those;that were set
doWn, " I acknOwledge and swear ;" but that, it
the Marquis was not properly acquainted with the
formula, it should be repeated to hint. The Secre-
tary accordingly read it a second time, and the Mar-
quis observed, that the point Was delicate, and an
affair of conscience ; that he did not refuse to take
the oath, but that he bad made the addition to it to
to quiet his conscience.
M. ARGUELLES stated, that the oath should be
taken in the established form; remarking, as well
Garcia Herreros, and Munos Torrero, that the
Marquis was called there to take the oath, as all the
other bodies and authot hies had done ; in the mean
time they demanded, that the ceremony should be
suspended, and that the Marquis should retire be-
low the bar; but he requested to be heard, which
was rilused. Then Senor Puig. advanced to take
the oath, which he did according to the formula,
and took his seat: near the PresidentlSenor Agar be-
tug on the right, and Puig on the left.
It was resolved that a letter should be sent to
the Regency, acquainting then, that an unforeseen
accident had prevented the Marquis del Palacio
from undertaking the office to which he had been
appointed.
The Marquis then begged leave to speak, which
was granted. He said, from below the bar, that
he had always believed, that the unalterable essence
• of an oath consisted in the manner in which'it was
stated, and not in the precise and unifolin words of
the reply. He begged the Meeting to acquit him'
of any intention of disobedience; and repeated, that
what he proposed was an addition on account of a.
scruple qt conscience; and that he was ready to take
the oath in thS form he first proposed. This was
opposed by many of the Deputies, who required
that the question should be put, whether it should

be admitted or not. It was gilt to the vote, and
carried almost unanimously in the negTive.
The Marquii 4gairk begged permission to ..;p,.ak, to
which the President repli. d, " His til,,j sty cannot
hear the Marquis del Palat.:io any more, and orders
him to retire."

Scarcely hail he quitted the meeting, when CAP,
MANY having declared that it WAIF' be proper to se.f.
cure his person, he rushed towards the door for the
purpose of escaping; and silence being imposed by
the President, a resaftion wss instantly passed lot
his detention in the guard-house of the troops. on
duty at the Cortes.
Several Deputies 4,:ished to discuss the further
proceedings against the Marquis ; bur t as agreed
that it was not proper to piss to !hat discussion, it
being a matter of more consequence` that the Re•
gency should be installed. The President instantly
rose, and the new Regency, accompanied by t‘velve
Deputies, proceeded to the gate of the Hall, and
-went to the house of the Ayuntarnienio, with four
Deptr ies and the Secretary. They were recei% ed on
their passage with all due hf- flours.

In the mean time the proposal for securing the
Marquis in a proper manner was debated 5 and alter
a long discussion, be was ordered to be.kept in cus-
tody in the Guard-house, as had been proposed by
Tagle.

Senor LuxAN, the Secretary, reported that the
new Regency had been installed: he stAted, that
heir pre,decesSors had come out to the gate or the
Hall to receive them, and conduiied them to the
cabinet ; and that. Senor Saavedra, Win had acted ai
President, had seated himself on' the left of Senor
Puig; that Sedor Castanos and •Lirdizabal, taking
oft their saShei, had 'put them upon the new
members of Regency; that tiie Minister of
Diintches had read, standing, the two decrees of
the Cortes.

These decrees were in substance ; the first, that
the Cortes, in consequence of the irpeated, requests
of the Members of Regency to be dismis•ed, 113 d
agreed to receive the same, and to appoint 4.he Senors
therein rvmed.

The second decree stated, that in regard tlint two
of the Senors appointed were absent, the Cortes had
elected two others to s,.:pply their place until their
arrival (9.

Some Deputies insisted that the sittings should. be
declared perrnanen,, until the question relating to
the Marquis was•dt tercnined, and -a successw ap-
pointed ; but the PRESIDENT observed, that in coo-
sequence of the Regency being lawfully constituted
by two Members, it would be advisable to wait a
little, and •to take some 'relaxation, as the silting
had lasted from ten in the morning till after six in
the evening. It .was therefore adjourned to ❑ine at
night.
(r) Senor Puig entered upon his office as has been men.
tioned ; and the Marquis de Caste.l4r has bezn ;ip pointed in
the place of the Marquis del Palacio.

THE ANNESLET CONTEST.

POLICE OFFICE, -DULE-STFIEET.

DUBLIN, Nov. 14.—1 n consequence of ah
appli-
cation made at this Office, upon the part of the Earl
of Annesley, for a warrant against the Lady , com-
monly called the Countess of.Aotiesley, the Magis►
crates appointed Monday, the 12th inst. for rii-e pur-
pose of entering into a previous investigation of the
nature of the transaction, upon which his Lordship's
claiM to their ifnterposition was grounded. Atmonr
noon the Earl arrived, accompanied by Lord 'How th
and his law agent. He stated, that he attended
there fbr the purpose of vindicating •
from a foul aspersion that had been cast upon' it, by
the distribution of a hand-bib, announcing the loss
of a boy, called therein " time Earl of Annesley ;"
the object of which had been manifested by an in-
sinuation at the late trial that he had been in-
strumental in procurin4 the rtisappearance of
boy, and also influenced Mr. Marcus Aiinesley, who
was summoned upon that trial, to withdraw, when,
in fact, it appeared that he had been purposely sent
out of the way by M-r. Jetfe•ys.
It appeared by the testimony of John Thrrett,who
stated himself to be Agent to the Londonderry
Mail-coach, that on the night of Sunday, Oct. 28,
he was accosted by a Woman apparently disguised,
bat who afterwards turned out to be Lady Annesley
This was in College Green. She disired witness to
bring her up to the Derry Coach. She asked depo-
nent whether he knew her, and he answered in tie
negative. Upon this she told hiM who she was,
and she wished to send a young person, who was
to have given e,idence upon her trial, but who had
been found too young foi ,be purpose, to 0 vagth
She called her Miss Kelly. That having come up
to the coach, she partly went in, and conversed with
a young person then there, in the dress (4 a female,
to whom she gave a parcel of some kind or other,
tied up in a handkerchief.. That she tobk leave of
this young person with many tears, recommending
her to the care of Barrett, and desired hint to tell
the guard of the coach not to take any money froni
the child. Witness swore that he I.a, since heard,
and now believes, that the person so committed to
his charge was the boy commonly called Lord An-
' nesley. He further stated, that the boy's mother
promised to procure him a situation in the Post
Office, as a reward for his fidelity in executing this

Upon this evidence, an appFcation was made by
Lord Arnesley fora warrant to apprehend tlis Lady,
upon whOse behalf a letter front her was. produced
and read, which stated,Ethar;she knew
ever
foe boy's
leaving town, but denied that she had cver insn-luot-
ed that Lord Anbesley,was the cause of it ttiet,
on the contrary, .she bad written to 'iNiii:jor Sian,
Lord Annesley's friend, to acquaint him that ste
knew the .child was safe, and had returned to
school.

.
Mr, Dowling, the law agent for Lady Aunesiey,
declared his conviction that Lord Annesley was in
no manner whatever concerned in the disappearance
of the boy; upon which, and Mr. Doing dcci_tr-
ing that his instructions were to proceed in t t.e
inentcause forthwith, to prove the legitiantcy of Ore
boy, and legality of his claim to the Earldom, Lord,
Annesley consented for the present to withdraw
application for a warrant against the Lady, and to
take no further steps in the intended prosecution to:
a conspiracy against his Lord,hip.
