sere, for he had distinctly proved that 'each indi-
vidual King who was married at the time of his
Coronation, had been crowned with his Owen.—
Admitting, then (which he was not called to do,
though he was ready to concede the admission), that
Charles the First's Queen had not been csowned, still
the uniform tenor of his preceients justified his le-
gally assuming the existence of the right, upon
grounds which no Court of Law could for one mo-
ment disturb. There were, Mr. Brougham said, three
stages in which facts, arising from a right founded
upon immemorial usage, must be considered :
there was, first, the uniform enjoyment; next, where
the asserted right was contested, but nevertheless en-
joyed, this latter stage was better for the right than
the first ; the third stage was where the tight claimed
was resisted, and successfully, so- as to be stopped
by an adjudication refusing the right, and legally
commanding public acquiescence. This last stage was,
of course, conclusive. Apply these principles here,—
There was, as he had shewn in the first place, a uni-
form series of the Coronations of Queens—so much
so as to establish the fact of uniform enjoyment.
There was, secondly, in the case of Prince Henry
(Henry the Second), where the Princess was not
crowned with him, but where, so far from acquies-
cing in her exclusion, her father, Louis of France,
protested against the indignity, declared war against
Henry, and compelled him to crown the Queen at
Winchester with all the pomp belonging to such a
solemnity ; the other case where the delay took place,
the King being married at his Coronation, was that
of Henry the Seventh. Now so far from that being
acquiesced in, they found it complained of by the
People; and, in the words of Margaret of Burgundy,
as an occurrence, of which the like had not been seen
since the Conquest.
Mr. BROUGHAM, at au advanced hour of the day,
was proceeding to quote from the Red Book of the Ex-
chequer, the Close Roll at the Tower, and the Liber
Regalls, several instances in which the ceremony for
the Queen was set down distinct and apart from that
of the King ; from which we left him inferring that
it was a substantive and independent ceremonial.

The KING received a visit yesterday from the Prin-
cess AUGUSTA.
Ministers, in pursuance of the economy that they
have resolved to enforce, have sent instructions for
withdrawing the military guards employed in Scot-
land, in certain situations, as watchmen.

When M. DENoN was once expatiating to BoNA-
PARTE on the merits of a picture, and happened to
drop the word immortal—.. Ilow lolls," interrupted
BONAPARTE, " may a picture last? —" About six
hundred years!". " Bah I" cried he, " there's a fine
immortality !"

The following is an extract of a letter which bas
been received froth Hamburg!) ; it will be read with
interest at the present moment, but of its authenti-
city we have great doubts:

"Sr. Hirt.m., Ann. 28.

" In the latter end of January, Bonaparte trans-
mitted a complaint, through Count Montholon, of a
want of money, arising from a cessation of his usual
remittances. To prevent in future this disagreeable
circumstance, without imposing upon himself the ne-
cessity of ac'tepting those supplies which were of-
fered him through the commercial house of B. and
H. without his knowing who gave the command to
this house for the advance, or from whom it received
the money, he ordered it to be proposed to the Go-
vernor, to advance him monthly five hundred pounds,
which the Duke of Leuchtenberg would repay to
the English Government through Mr. Baring. He
desired at the same time, that instead of the two
Priests living with him, and instead of Dr. Antoma-
chi, Counts Bertrand and Month°lon he should a
supplied with other society. As his family lived in
Italy, and could not well judge what kind of men
would be agreeable to him, he left the selection of
them to the King of France, and to those of the King's
Ministers who had formerly served under him, and
knew his habits and wants—such as MM. Pasquier,
Segur, Daru, and Latour-Maubourg, or M. de Cazes,
who had been his own and his mother's Private Se-
cretary. With regard to a Priest, he desired a man
of knowledge and experience, a learned Divine, capa-
ble of discussing religious subjects, able to answer
his questions, to resolve his doubts, and to instruct
him in the sacred Scriptures—a man of between 40
and 50 years of age, and a well-grounded scholar.—
Although,' said he, I feel my strength decaying,'
I am not yet so prostrate as to take refuge in
spiritual remedies. But when this happens, I must
have another spiritual guide besides the two who ,
at present attend me, one of whom has not yet
shaken off the dust of! the schools. Voltaire him-
self, in the view of death, threw himself into the
arms of religion ; and who knows but I may ac-
quire a taste for the subject, and become pious ?'—
As physician, he wished a man like Courvoisier ;
but he declared that he would receive with confidence
any one selected for him by Bourdois, Eymery,
Larrey, Dubois, or Desgenettes. —Of those who
were to come in room of Counts Bertnuid and
Monthol on, he required one to be a General (the most
agreeable to him was Drouet), but in no case an Officer
who had served against him. The other might be
either a secular person or cidevant Priest ; but in all
cases one of his formed Council or Chamberlains—a
man of education and talents—such as Caulincourt, I
Savary, Segur, Montesquieu, Darce, DrOuet, Turenne,
Denon, or Arnault. The aforementioned money ar-
rangement was taken by the Governor.' Some time
afterwards Bonaparte said, that the Priest who was
to be sent to him must be one who adhered to the
Concordat of 18102, such as M. Duvoisier,late Bishop
of Nantes.''
