• Mr. Alderman' WOOD proceeded..-ate Ousted' thit there
was not a single Member in the House, who would rashly give
credit to the cheeses which the .Hon. Member for Surrey had
so boldly urged against her Majesty, and all of which be (Mr.
Wood) asserted to be destitute of foundationi—(o4ers). He
called upon that lion. Member to come forward, and to men-

dettake to say, that they would fiod it expended in suck a man-

The business of the Qurim's maintenance was then arei

Honourable %temlser for Surrey was the occasion of his ad- House. Mr. Si:INEIS'S Amendment was net...aimed ads;
dressing the House again that evening. The lion Member had division, and Lord CAS7LtittrAOU'S proposition agreedta
objected to the worthy Alderman's explanation,, because be was
not an accredited agent of her Majesty. This was the usual trick
with Gentlemen on the Ministerial side of the House. They [shed
of her Majesty as if she were an independent Sovereign, not as if
she were only like themselves,a mere subject. They looked upon
her legal advisers as responsible for her conduct. Now he
would inform them, as he had had occasion to inform them
before, that her Majesty was responsible for her own eon-
duct—(//ear).—She had, it was true,, her legal advisers ; and he
and his Honourable Colleague, as to matters of law, were, if he
might use a figure of speech, her responsible alinisters--(Hear).—
So much for responsible advisers and accredited agents. No-
thing, in his opinion, could be more correct than the manner in
which the worthy Alderman had just come forward. As for
himself, though he had been in situations where he was likely
to hear of such rumours as had been adopted as facts by the
lion. Member for Surrey, be must say that he had never heard
of them from anything like creditable authority until the pre-
sent evening. The worthy Alder Man asserted that there was
no truth in them, and he, for one, believed his assertion—
(Hear, hear). As to thelaw expenses, of which it might
be expected he should know something, he would merely say
that they were submitted to as strict an audit as any other spe-
cies of public accounts. The sums to defray them were issiied
by the Treasury, and the person who received was deemed ac-
countable for them. The sum as already issued to meet these
expenses was 50,0001. and he would say that it would fall short
to cover them. If the Honourable Gentleman should think
that they were too much, he could only say that her Majesty
regretted as much as he could the absolute necessity there was
for incurring them. Lord Liverpool had, however, confessed,
either in the House of Lords or in private conference with him-
self—he forgot which—that a refusal of the specification of the
witnesses, and the charges to be brought against her Majesty,
bad necessarily entailed upon her greater expenses than would
fall upon the opposite side—(Hear.)
Mr. H. SUAIN ER repeated his belief in his former charges.
Mr. Alderman W 001) did not wish that the Hon. Member
for Surrey would give him credit, but he trusted that the House
would give him credit, when he informed theist that the ac-
counts were shewn to him every mouth by the steward, in or-
der that he might see that no articles were charged extrava-
gantly to her Majesty. Every article, down to the very coals
in the house, was paid for monthly ; the furniture which her
Majesty bought at the Duke of Kent's sale was paid for ; and
if the (lon. Member would bring down to the House any bill
which was unpaid by her Majesty, he would uudertake to sea
it paid to-mot row—(lkon)
Lord NUGENT said, that ever since he had the honour of
a seat in that House, it had been considered a put of its
courtesy that when any Gentleman stated a circumstance as a
fact within his own personal knowledge, he should be flee fawn
any positive contradiction—(hear)--especially on such loose
grounds as those assumed by the Honourable Member fee
Surrey. Whether that Ilonourable Member would have feeling
sufficient to make an apology to the worthy Alderman he did
not know ; but he thought that an apology was due,if not to the
worthy Alderman, at least to the House, whose forms he had
so grossly transgressed.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ii. SUMNER stated, that if the worthy Alderman had
made a declaration regarding what had fallen. within his own
knowledge, he should have given implicit credence to him. But
it appeared that the steward had merely shewn the books to
birn, and the books only contained an account of what was paid.
The worthy Alderman, therefore, could not possibly know how
much remained unpaid.
Mr. S. WORTLEY expressed his regret that the Honour-
able Member far Surrey had brought forward such charges as
he had done on no better authority than mere rumour. lie had
obtained all that he had wished in a manifestation of the feelings
of the House, and, if called upon to divide, should certainly di.
vide in favour of the larger sum.

THE EVENING STAR:

LONDON.

A Jamaica MAil, which arrived this forenoon,.
brought the important intelligence of the erpedi

under Lord COM:I.INC having taken Lima, aft
a tremendous re,istance. The regolar Itorips
Lima amounted to about 10,000 men, all well al..
fccted to the Royal cause, and cleellently
in every respect. Four of Lord COCnu.iaeamnb
were sunk in the engagement. No other patticalan
are given, nor is it stated whether the place a
taken by storm or surrendered on capitulation.
After the taking of Pisco, the Viceroy of Peru(lbs
JOAQUIN! PEzur.LA) had sent a flag of truce to Gem.
ral Sr. 3tawrix, requesting a conference, by Deft.
ties, to see if their differences could be adjusted wit&
out having recourse to arms.. To this Celina] St.
MARTIN consented, and on the 2:;th September
armistice was agreed on, and Deputies for a conference appall.
The conference hued until the lit October, when the ntrai,
separated without having come to auy arrangement, sada at
4th hostilities were recommenced by General Sr. MAIM.

The attack on Pisco appears to have been made with a reed
drawing off a part of the Royal force from Lima ; for km*
atel7 after the breaking of the Armistice. General SAN 314 Ca
re-embarked his troops, and proceeded by sea, with all luritos
Lima, the grand object of the expedition.
The town of Guayaquil had, of its own accord, &sheik
self in Amour of the Independent cause, on the 7th of Octet;
and Panama, encouraged by the success of Lord Coeusara,ki
spontaneously followed its example.
We lament to learn from these Papers, that bis Grier to
Duke of Kurcrtesren, Governor of Jamaica, has met *dr
very alarmidg accident. When taking his usual mornirokiv,
he was thrown out of his eurricle, and hie skull severely flactini.
The first Bulletin of his Avsicians states that " the =Alai
of a most formidable nature, but the symptoms bin soli.
therto been unfavourable;" and the last, that " the warm
proceed favourably." •

The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this forenoon. Ilty
are filled with declarations of the alarm and indignation via
which the Gunpowder Plot to destroy his 3lajesty aria tit
Royal Family, had ffiled the hearts of all faithful PaGizi
and with the details of a great deal of official bustling, afp
rently to little purpose, to discover the diabolical incendatia
The Journal de Paris says, in a postscript, that a repot va
current on Sunday evening, but for the truth of which itid
not pledge itself, that the" enquiries made by the Nagistnat
had been followed with the arrest of three or four unlade!'
employed at different labours in the interior of the thaws!
that there is every reason to hope that their examination]
lead to the discovery of the guilty."
The band which contained the powder was encireledwittils
hoops, and from the diameter of some of these which hanks
collected, it is calculated that the quantity of powder is tbet*
rel may have been from five to six pounds. The Ks is I!
scribed as treating the matter very gaily. When Mama,'
her first alarm, ran to the Kiwi, he spoke to her in the ad
assuring manner, and added, smiling—" Tell my aka gq°
daily, that it was aot me who set Sre to the petard!"
It is scarcely necessary to add, that an occasion so deassalzl
renewed proofs of loyalty and attachment, has not been Gm
looked by the friends of the Monarchy. The calls of conger'
lation at the Thuilleries have ever since been incessant.

Mr. WESTERN wished to know why this provision should
not he m.sde out of the Civil List, instead of being made an ad-
ditional burden on the people ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the
Treasury had no more power of converting the Civil List front the
purposes to which it was appropriated than they had of convert-I
ing to other uses any Parliamentary grant.
Mr. LEN NA RD did not wish to curtail the Crown of any
of that splendour which was so dear to the present possessor of
it, but he might be allowed to regret that the Country should.
be called on to boar fresh burdens,in order to relieve the Crown
from the charge which had always belonged to it—the charge of
supporting the QueenConsort—(Hear, Gear).—lle knew that
the funds of the Civil List were appropriated by Act of Parlia-
ment ; but the Crown was in possession of the Revenues of the
Duchy cf Cornwall, of the 4i per Cents. of the Droits of Ad-
miralty; and it would have been more consistent with those
large professions of economy, so often heard front Ministers at
the beginning of the Sessions of Parliament, if they had pro-
posed applying some of these sources of Revenue to the support
of the Queen; or at least if they had given up the Droits to the
use of the Public.

Private letters which we have received, say, that in tf
tain circles of Paris a strange degree of incredulity prevails d
the subject of this plot. They say, the Kiwi would not urea
so much as a matter of joke, if it were not really a good me.
must be allowed, indeed, to be a curious fact, as the Meru. Cann
of this morning observes ,µ that a several conspiracies. Ida
them by the way of explosion, which have been lately discovered
at Paris, in no one, so far as the particulars have been aßane4
to be disclosed, have the means been adequate to any end arci
it might be supposed the conspirators had in view."
