Mr. DAVENPORT said he must declare, without
hvsiration, that it was a most ill-advised measure to
have left the Queen's name out of the Liturgy. But
when he recollected the letter she wrote to the King,
and her answers to the various Addresses that had
been presented to her, he did not think that her name
ought to be restored to the Liturgy, as it was a privi-
lege which, by her conduct, she had forfeited.
Mr. L (MB said, he did not think that the Act of
Uniformity sttictly entitled the Queen to the privi-
lege in question—(Hear, hear). The object of that
Act was to establish a particular form of prayer; but,
in the construction of the Act, there must have been
a. power to make alterations according to circum-
stances; and, he believed, that the words of the Act
gave no such right as was contended for. It never
was meant that such a right existed under all cir-
cumstances of improper conduct or degradation.
The case of the wife of George I. must be a case in
point, unless she had been divorced a' .viaralo matri-
monii ; fur she was, in point of law, a Queen. In-
deed, it would be highly improper in that House to
decide on legal questions of this kind. It was said,
that as the Queen now stood, and as no Bill of Pains
and Penalties was passed, this point ought to be con-
ceded to her ; this he denied. It had been said in the
course of the debate, that. her Majesty was endowed
with great- sagacity and propriety of mind. These
gel:dines, then, which she so eminently posiessed,
ought to induce her nct to encrease the agitation
which now so generally existed throughout the coun-
try, and even to concede something. At the same
time, he thought a great deal ought to be conceded
by Ministers. He would then vote for the present
proposition. because the constant usage was that of
having the Queen's name in the Liturgy; and because
it was conformable to the opinion already enter-
tained by the great majority of the People. When-
ever the opinions of the People were mischievous,
they ought to be manfully resisted; but in matters
like the present, he thought it would be highly poli-
tic to concede to public opinion—( Hear, hear).
Mr. BRIGHT contended, that the prerogative of
the King was not infringed by the Act of Unifor-
mity; and he conceived that the clause in that Act
did no more than compel the Sovereign to insert the
Queen's name in the Liturgy, a. power which before
had been optional. There was, however, no prece-
dent for such an exclusion as this. - The Act of Uni-
formity was only conformatory of the old law; and
they ought both to co-operate with each other. He
fully concurred in the motion, not only on the ground
of law, but of expediency. The country had been in
a state of the greatest agitation: the middle and the
lower classes had been brought together to concur in
the same sentiment ; and thus a great portion of those
who had been endeavouring to overturn the Consti-
tution, came into contact with the better and more
respectable orders—(Hear, hear).
SirJOHN MARJORIBANKS spoke in opposition
to the motion; but the cries for the question were so
laid and incessant, that scarcely a word of what the
Hon. Member said could be heard.
Mr. Alderman BRIDGES said, he had no doubt
but that the sacred veneration which the English
People had for the religion of their country, would
point out to them the impropriety of having the
Queen's name in their Prayer Books, after the Repo-
sures that had already taken place respecting her
conduct and character.
The call for the question now proceeded from all
parts of the House; and, after some time, the House
was cleared of strangers. A division then took
place, when there appeared—

Several Members- were shut out at the time the
House divided, among whom were Lord SarroN,
Sir R. Faacusow, Sir It. WILSON, Sir J. SERRIGHT,
Mr. LASIBTON, Mr. CREEVEY, and Mr. R. MARTIN.
GRAMFOUND DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House
should go into a Committee on this Bill.
Mr. MAXWELL took that opportunity of notify-
ing to the House his intention, on• some future occa-
sion, should the principle of that Bill be adopted for
the purpose of general amelioration of the political,
condition of the manufacturing districts, to propose,
the investiture of Glasgow in privileges, such as had
been extended to Leeds. He did not press any amend
anent to that 13W, because his Noble Friend seemed
to wish as little difference of opinion on it as possi-
ble. Ile anxiously wished the success of the excel-1
lent intentions it disclosed. Glasgow contained I
1.50,0(X) inhabitants, and was' most important from
situation, knowledge, and talents. He should pro-
pose, on a future occasion, to suggest the propriety
of having its interests personified in that House, and
its important affairs entrusted to a Representative
well acquainted with its concerns, and enjoying its
toll confidence, not only from private worth, but from
commercial knowledge. He should not further in-1
made on the House than to solicit its consideration
of his preposition ; and to recollect that it could only
be considered as having an interest there once in
about twenty-six years.
The House then resumed, and the Report was
brought up and read, and ordered to be taken into
further consideration on Friday se'nnight.
The Report of -the Queen's Annuity Bill was
brought up, the Bill read a second time, and ordered
to be read a third time this day.
MANCHItsTEtt OUTRAGIC.

Mr. HOSTIOUSE, in the name of his Colleague
(Sir Francis Burcietti, gave notice of a Motion for the
15th co( May, on the subject of the Outrage on the
Manchester Meeting, on the 16th of August, 1819.

In answer to a question from Sir ROBERT WILSON'
Lord CASTLEREAGH stated last night, in the House
of Commons, that the Government are not possessed
of any official information relative to the hostile in-
'tendons of the Holy Alliance towards the Neapoli-
tans ; and Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH in consequence,
postponed his Motion, relative to the Troppau Cir-
cular, until Thursday se'nnight.
A -number of Petitions, praying for the insertion
of the (longs's name in the Liturgy, were presented;
after which, Mr. Jowl SMITH brought forward his
Motion for an Address from the House to the Throne,
for the purpose of having her MAJESTY'S name re-
stored to the Collects and Liturgy of the Church of
England.

Mr. &aim was extremely temperate and argu- 1
mentative, and pointed out with great feeling the
unfortunate consequences which could not fail to
result from non-compliance with the_wishes of the'
People. He avoided entering on the Legal part of
the question, which had been before so ably treated
of by Mr. WyrnERELL.••-• The Motion was ably I
seconded by Mr. TaNz(rsox.

On the Ministerial side no attempt was made to
answer the arguments of the mover and seconder of
the motion. Member after Member bore testi-
mony to the powerful nature of the arguments they
had adduced, but which, notwithstanding, had failed
to produce conviction in their minds; and rested on
asserting (the' not proving) the power of the Crown
to regulate the Liturgy in the point under discussion.
Even Mr. WILBERFORCE assumed the legality of the
omission, but could not approve of the propriety of
it ; he was, therefore, in favour of the re-insertion.

As might be expected, from previous divisions, the
motion was lost by a majority of 120.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon.'
They are still without any confirmation of the re-
ported passage 4 the Po, by the Austrian Army. A
private letter from Frankfort, of the 6th of February,
says---" All the reports as to a declaration of war by
the Court of Vienna against the Neapolitans, and the
march of the Austrian Army, are positively contra-
dicted. It appearaolifficult to reconcile hostile mea-,
sures with the conferences of the Sovereigns at La,
bath, the result of which can scarcely as yet be
known. There is a report here of a stkond diplo-
matic Note, which has been presented in the name
of the Emperor ALEXANDER to the Ministers of the
,Great Powers, by Count CAiO D'ISTRIAS. The mode-
rate principles which it developes are much praised."
Another private letter from Laybach, received by
the way of Vienna, and dated the 26th of January,
says, " The Congress which has taken place in our
city, has not, as Yet, assumed the forms observed at
the Congresses of Vienna and Aix-la-Chapelle.—
There has been no regular sitting among the Ministers
of the different Powers, nor has there been, properly
speaking, any general meeting. As soon as the Duke
de Gallo arrived here, the Marquis de Ruffo resigned
to him the portfesille of Foreign Affairs. The for-
mer has already had several conferences with M. de
Metternich, M. Capo d'lstrias, and M. de Caraman.
It is said that the bases on which the Powers are
agreed to treat at Laybach, are—first, the territorial
integrity of ail the Italian States, such as it was sti-
pulated by the treaties of 1814 ; second, the admis-
sion,
for the Italian States, of Representative Consti- ,
tutions. The opinion, that it would be desirable,
under existing circumstances, to establish in Italy
the Representative regime, is said to have been par-
ticularly urged by M. Capo d'lstrias. It is farther,
stated, as to Naples in particUlar, that the new pro-
positions of the Powers bear the stamp of moderation,
and that the modifications demanded in. the Consti-
tution of the Kingdom of Naples, to put it in har-
Imony with the Monarchical principle, are not very
numerous."

In a discussion whick incidentally 'arose in the
French Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, on a Pe-
tition from a Colonel Aux, recommending to the
Chamber to pay respect to-the Constitutional Char-
ter, M. CHAUVILLIN made the following allusion to
the question now pending between the Allied Powers
and the Revolutionized Governments of Spain and
Naples:—" I do not believe that the Spanish Nation
has derogated from its heroic character in uniting
with its King to obtain a Constitution, from which it
anticipates the happiest effects—(Voicesfrom the right
the Chamber, It has been imposed by rebels!')—nor
is it possible to speak of the heroic efforts of the Spa-
nish Nation without thinking of those which the
Neapolitan Nation may be called on to make in a si-
milar cause. Surely it can be no pleasure to France
to see these Constitutional Goveramenti menaced by
the coalition of Absolute Governments ; it can be rio

glory to us to see commanded to the bar of the Ab-
solute Monarchs of Europe the Constitutional Mo-
narch of Naples, who has made himself the Chief of
the Revolution which has been effected in his eountt y.
The diplomatic acts which are connected with
these events may lead to very setious questions, to
refection., the most painful and embarrassing for the.
tpii
French Nation. The nation see there the glory
• • ..
of its name tarnished and) area interests emu-
s
promised—Wrong agitation . Yes, Gentlemen, the
report is current that the French Governmer.t has
signed Me Act for Me occupation of Spain, and that
the only purpose of its having agents at Laybach is
to league itself with the powers of despotism. What
a state of degradation to be thus reduced to—how
humiliating to co-operate in acts which tend to the
degradation of the human species."
M. eIIAtIVEI4II concluded with a challenge to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs to give the Chamber the
necessary explanation on the share which France has
taken in the proceedings adopted with respect to
Spain and Naples. _ .

The Minister of Foreign Affairs said, that though
it was part of the English system to give such ex-
planations, it was no part of the French, and he,
therefore, contented himself with saying generally.,
"that the King of France found himself considered as
be ought to be by the other Powers; that he exer-
cises in the political transactions of Europe the power
which belongs to his crown ; and that he supports
•
nobly his own dignity and that of France:'

The hint of M. Chativelin, respecting an Act for
the occupation of Si;ain, is new, and it is singular
that the Minister for Foreign Affairs did not meet it
with any direct denial.
