sIATIcsI4.OI."

LONDON:

SATIMIDAT EVENING, DECEMBER 3P.

Our readers cannot have failed to notices report in
circulation yesterday, that many Members PArna-
mud have written to the Treasury, stating, that bnsi•
min will proven: their attendance on the 4311 of JJ.
unary. Without vouching for the tru:ll of the state-
tent, we can, however, venture to assert, that the
intimation obscurely conveyed in this aunount eaten',
appears to he well founded. We have reason to 6su
licre, that Parliament, tiottgh appointed to he he'd
on the 2311 of January fur dispatch of bu•iotes, rid
not then assemble. Win titer the further prorogation
now in view arises must from the backwardness which
Ministers experience on the part of their friends, or
front the divisions that prevail among themselves, we
will no; presume to decide. That they begin to feel
the consequences of their infatuation, in instituting
their proceedings against the lja.Estx, is now abun-
dantly manifest. The agitation they had spread
through the country, has, by its re-action, set them
in a tottering state; and the men who were their
staunchest adherents, while they appeared to stand
firm, are now cautiously keeping aloof, and wait-
ing fur their fall. Even the lee! fii:k of the
North, who are the last to forfeit their allegi-
ance to the servants of the Crown, have been
led, by second sight no doubt, to suppress, at their
meeting in Aberdeen, their devotion to the Mini•-
ters, aui limit all their loyalty to the KING. These are
portentous omens. To what degree they way alfect our
Ministers, or what strange steps they may urge them to
take, Iv^ wait with route anxiety for time tudevelope. At
present all that is apparent is iadeekion and imbeci-
lity. The vacancy admitted to Ir:ve been made by
Mr. CANNING is not filled up, user any a range-
meats visible fur supplying the two other important
places in the Cabinet expected soon to be void. Pn
the remnants of the present Administration flatter
themselves they will at:quite stength by the ac-
cession of Meatbers who still adopt a severer
and more commanding tone? Is 4lte present
Pasliament not sufficiently subservient, and a fvesk
election to be desired? We know nit what occasion
there may be fur asking suc:t questions, any more than
for enquiring the objects of the Duke of Witi.xixto
Tux in his progress through the country.

This day week, we copied from a Morning paper,
a paragraph, stating that 3lademoiselle DEzotoxr,
Tn uuuue alAJorcui, and several other foreigners of
the saute description, bad sailed from Woolwich on
the preceding Tuesday, for the Mediterranean, on
board the Causeleon sloop of war. Tue Coaiirr, the
same et ening contradit tea this assertion, in an article
we noticed in our following paper, and &dinned that
t'►e Cauldron had only bees, employed in bringing a fine
chronometer from France, and had returned to her
station at Portsmouth. All this respecting the Came.
Iron is probably correct ; but, except that she did not
carry frost► England the cargo allege.l, no coots adic-
tion, it will be observed, was attempted relative t ► the'
departure of the Italian witnesses. It might, in.
deed, b..re been 'armed even with truth, on
Saturday aftermon, that those distinguished per-
images were then remaining in their wens.
toured quarters at Westminster. The fact appears
• to be, that on Saturday last, at midnight, and root
till that obscure convenient hour of one a the longest
; nights of the year, all the remaining foreign witnesses
too[ their departure, by water, from Cotton (larder.
They proceeded first to Deptford, ender the care. we
' believe, of the commander of the Tbaink. Popes

yeast I; and there immediately were shipped : board one
of his 31 ar Eal%'s sloops or hrje, under the j rotection,
we are infurwed, of 114 CAPP-3i of the Alien Office,
who was to accompa:ty thew, up their slava borne, as
far as Paris.

The State papers we this day present relative to
Naples will be found of the highest interest. They
are singular as documents, and singular As to their
occasion. What a view do they develop, of the
character of the Holy. Alliance! This is an
perium is impede', with ; vengeance! Who could
have tweeted, iu the present age, that a con-
clave of Sovereigns, the friends of order, and she
preteeto:s of peace, twilit :impel, to themselves the
prerogative to amnion Wore them an independent
monarch, to account to them fur the compost between
himself and his subject:. pf Iiort•PARTS!
Vi has the consequence of FisaitiNawn's compliance
limy be, can only be rontesuplated with 111 prehessini.
The object of the Sovereigns in detnantliog a air.
Strews with this imbecile old man, aloof. sod deter.
wining to at-rept of no snitatitite, net even any of the
Princes of his family, is obvious enough.

We beg the special attention of our readers to the
proceedings of the meeting held yesterday for the re-
lief of the llouseless Poor. At this inclement season
the objects of that most laudable institution are highly
deserving the consideration and assistance of the
public.

The following is a letter from O'Htouuss, the Su-
prattle Director d Chili, to Bouran, dated Santa Fe
Bavoti, 2-lth of September
Most excellent Sir,—l can assure you, with the

greate‘t certainty, that on the 13th of this month, the

expedition for the liberation of Peru will sail from
this port. It is in itself strong, and carries with it i
a supply of arms and ammunition to equip a force
equal to itself in Peru. It sails under the convoy of
the whole squadron of the Republic, under the com-
mand of Admiral Lord Coctiti•xs. The decision and
2l.thu4asm of the troops have well merited the cre-
dit of the Generals, especially General SAY M•ItTIY
and the f tvourable disposition with which all the Peru-
vians al— expecting their liberators, prognosticates
a fortunate issue of its enterprise. 1 have the

pleasure of announcing to you the day on which the
expediti•.n will sail, well assured of the satisfaction
which it will give to the Uovernment and every Jodi-
's:dual of your generous republic.

• VALPARAISO, Avo. s.—Eight Friars have been shot

verutnent.

Vtcxxv, Dui•. I3.—A g the :reports most in
credit, is that of a marriage having been agreed upon
between the Imperial Prince, eldest son of his Ma-
jesty the Emperor, anal the Princess Alexandrine
of Prussia, who was burn in 14403. It was even re-
ported that this Princess would shortly repair to
Breslau, there to enter into the pale of the Catholic
Church.

East India (louse,' when the under-mentioned Com-
manders took leave of the Court, previous to depart-
ing for their respective destinations, viz.—Captain
Nairn', of the General Captain C. Mort-
loek, of the Lowther Castle; and Captain C. 0. Mayne,
of the Atias, fur Bengal direct.

The I •yal address which the friends of the King's
on'.nsters at Lincoln expected to have sent as the ad.
dress of the city at a public meeting, now in the cha-
racter of the address of those who choose to sign it,
lies at the tin:Moan there for signatures: about 150
have sioted it during the last five days. Another
address. praying for the distnissal of ministers, though
It did nut start till the day after the loyal one, has
already received about fire times the number of sig-
atares.
A meeting was bold at Warwick on Tuesday last,
r the purpose of congratulating the Queen, in con-
es ells renoiahlkso. slimed by above a hundred
of the most respectable Inhabitants of the town. Dr.
Parr, the Rev. Messrs. Field and Wade, Aldermen
Edwards and Collins, Messrs. Oreathead, Jones, Col-
lins, Russel, and Goodman, moved and seconded the
various rfArions, which were propounded in speeches
of great awl spirit.—lt had been interi,:ed at
first to dist this meeting by a party of the mock
loyalists, wit a Reverfllsd Gentleman at their head ;
but an inspection of the enetny's force convinced them
of the futility of any attempt. and they contented
themselves, like She sang loyalists of London, by re-
thin; to a corner, where they huddled up an Address
to his Majesty, in fayonr of those enlightened Mini-
sters who have shown suck admirable skill in conci-
liating parties, and in maintaining tranquillity and
content throughout the Empire.
The inhabitants of Stron4l, in Gloucestershire, in
consequence of a public meeting last week, called for
the porposs, have forwarded to Mr. Denman, to be
presented to the Queen, an Address of rongratu!ation;
and to Lorl Holland, to be presented to the King, an
Address and Petition, beseeching his Majesty to dis-
miss his present Ministers. The Petition was agreed
to without a dlbsent.:ent yoke, and signed by 2,450
persons. •
Psstsi nr Laster; rn.—The Churchwardens of St.
Mary, Lambeth, haying received a requisition to f'oll-
- a public meeting for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of presenting in address
to her Majesty the Queen, congratulating her on the
failure of the conspiracy meditated against the dignity
of the Crown, and the security of the subject, and also
oftakitier into consideration the propriety of present.
ing a dutiful address to his Majesty, praying that be
wili be pleased to remove from his councils the Minis-
ters who instituted la supported the late proceedings
against the Queen, an derogatory to the honour of the
Crown, and so injurious to the interests of the country,

tice, that a meeting for the abovetnentioned purposes,

vu Thursday next.
Nne,roscatunaLasto blerrtsc.—ln consequence of
the 'refuse; of the Sheriff of Northumberland to call •
Meeting, although the Requisition addressed to his
was signed by all the leading men of the county,
the fotleoling notice has been issued by seven Magis-
trates:—
"Dm 40. 1890.--In consequence of the onexpected
refusal of the Sheriff to assemble, under his authority, a
meeting of the nobility. gentry, clergy, freeholders, and
inhabitants of the county of Northumberland, in con-
formity with the requleidon lately presented to him, we'
feel it to be oust duty to request the independe
freeholders and inhabitants of this county to attend
meeting to be held within the Townhall, at 31orpeth,

Wednesday, Jan. 111, at 12 o'clock, to consider of the
steps necessary to he taken in consequence of the extra-
ordinary condoct of the Sheriff, and for the other pur-
poses specified in the Requisitlest. We regret extremely
that the distance of many of those who sigo/41 the late
requisition has obliged us, in order to avoid any unne-
cessary delay, to take this useasttee without waiting for
their &noel eoncorreoce.
