LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIN'S orricrt.

house of Lords, January 20, 1821.

Notice is hereby given, that all applications for Tickets of Ad-
mission to the House of Peers, on the occasion of his Majesty's
going to the House, will be delivered dim day before, at this
Office, between the hours of eleven and four.

W. D. FELLOWES,
Secretary to the Lord Grand Chamberlain.

' It is whispered, that Ministers were anxious that
his MAJESTY should open the Session of Parliament
with a Speech from the Throne ; but that to this the
KING was extremely indisposed•; and it is said that
the main object of the journey of the Earl of LtvErt-
POOL and Lord CASTLEREAGH to Brighton, was to
beseech his MAJESTY to comply with their wishes in
this respect.
It is understood that on the meeting of Parliament
Ministers will propose that the sum of £50,000, an-
nually, be settled on the QUEEN, for the expenses of
her MAJEsres Establishment; and that should the
Opposition move for a larger sum, Ministers will re-
sist them. It is on the question of the Liturgy that
die KING'S servants mean to make their stand ; on
which question, if we may place any reliance on the
general voice of legal men, they must be found to
have violated the Statute Law.
The Order of Council for the alteration of the Li-
turgy, quotes the Act of Parliament as authority for
the erasure ; and, therefore, by that Act, and that
alone, the legality of the measure is to be deferded.
The words of the Act do not authorise the proce-
dure which they have followed ;—and, therefore, the
measure is illegal.
The Ministers, by quoting the preamble of the Act,
have made the question of legality to rest on it alone;
and they arc bound to abide by it : should they even
plead any other ground, this would be no defence of
the Clergy, who have violated the Statute law in obey-
ing the Order in Council ; for no Order of Council
can abrogate or alter a Statute.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL pledged himself to the
House of Commons to prove the legality of the
measure ; but this he cannot do, for nothing con-
trary to Statute tan be legal. To assert the contrary
would be to maintain a contradiction in terms.
Ile talked of precedents.—No precedent can be
opposed to an express Act of Parliament. The order
was issued on the mistaken authority of that Act,
and not in conformity with precedents, which was
only an Vier thought.
Clergymen cannot be punished for praying for the
QUEEN, but may be punished for neglecting it.
The QUEEN'S name must be restored to the Liturgy.

A Mail from Holland arrived to-day, with Papers
to the 12th instant.

An article from Vienna, of the sth inst. anbounces
the appointment of Baron Von KOLLER as Commis-
sary-General of the army in Italy, and states, that
the Count de BOVEELLE would proceed on the 6th
to Naples, by order of the Austrian EMPEROR. The
States of Darmstadt were adjourned on the 2d
to the Bth of January. Great dissatisfaction had
been expressed against that part of the law which
places the Representative of the Catholic Bishop
above the Protestant Prelates in the Chamber, as the
Catholics of Darmstadt do not form a sixth part of
the population. It appears by an article from Dus-
seldorf, that the Rhine near that city was frozen harder
than it has been for many years.

Charleston Papers arrived this forenoon to the
15th December:

The negociation between the Royal Spanish Com-
missioners and BoLIVAR, for the pacification of Vene-
zuela and New Grenada, has ended without any be-
neficial result. It is said to have been subsequently
renewed, and that the Royal Commissioners left
Caraccas with that view for the bead-quarters of
Botivaa, on the 24th October.

The Spanish frigate La Constitution, with upwards
of three millions and a half of dollars in specie, and
the Deputies to the Cortes from the Havannah and
the Province of Campeachy, sailed some time ago
from the Havannah for Spain.

FRENCH PAPERS.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived last night.
The chief interest• of the intelligence they contain
turns on the affairs of Naples. The Neapolitan Le-
gislature seems to be making active preparations for
the maintenance of its independence, both by mi-
litary arrangements, and by the strict observance of
constitutional forms, which must ensure it respect
among States where liberty and good government
are prized. The Parliament has decreed the appoint-
ment of a Military Committee to inspect the state of
the Army, and examine the condition of the For-
tresses. This Committee is to report on these sub-
jects from week to week, and to make exertions
to place arms in the hands of the National Guards,
so as to prepare them for repelling any attack that
may be made on the frontiers of the kingdom.
The warlike inhabitants of the Abruzzas are en-
rolling themselves as volunteers, and tendering their
"lives and fortunes" for the support of the new order
of things. General PEPF. is sent to that province to
take the command of the third corps of the army,
which is marching thither. The two other divisions
have taken up different positions towards the fron-
tiers, and the guards are to be in reserve about the
capital. The PRINCE RECENT of the kingdom has
formed about his person a junta of General Officers,
for assisting him in affairs relative to the defence of
his menaced dominions. It is to be regretted that
the meritorious Officer, General FtLANGIEnt, whose
services were important at the commencement of the
Revolution, has, from causes of disgust or imagined
ill-treatment, resigned.
In the meantime, while the ICING is proceeding on
his way to Laybach rather slowly, on account of the
inclemency of the season and his advanced age, those
two Ministers-who were charged with unconstitution-
ally advising his submission to the mandate of the
Holy Alliance, have been called before the Parlia-
ment, and having given satisfactory explanations of
their conduct, have been acquitted by a majority of
65 to 17. M. DE Zutmo, Ex-Minister of the Interior,
appeared, when called upon for his defence, calm and
serene; and after stating the motives of his conduct
in dispatching the Circular of the 7th'ult. to the Pro-
vinces, declared that he would cheerfully submit to
the justice and wisdom Of the Parliament, whatever
decision it should think proper to adopt. The Duke
of CAMPOCHIARO'S demeanour was different: he en-
tered the Chamber with the greatest confidence, and
spoke of his services without ostentation, but with
frankness. lie demanded a trial, that he might esta-
blish his innocence; and concluded by declaring, that
it a victim were necessary to consolidate the Consti-
tution, he would willingly offer himself for the in-
tended sacrifice. His speech was followed by ap-
plause, and by the vote of an indefinite adjournment
of the prosecution which we have stated above.—
