The Lord Chancellor said-lt having been
minated to me that her Majesty the Queen
having peen pleased to appoint, etc.
The Vice Chancelor-Her Majesty the
Queen having been grscioesly pleased etc.
You will take your place within the bar
among his Majesty's counsel, with all rank
and precedence belonging to the Office OF At
torney Cor Solicior) General TO Majesty.
These gentlemen then took theil places and
were called upon to move accordingly III
each court.
Upon this proceeding we forbear to offer
any remarks, except that 1t is currently Tu-
mored 10 the higher circles, that the kings
ministers having had the option of another
course, preferred the one now stated, there
by at once eyincIng to the world their lnal
determination to attempt nothing whatever
against the queen. But how does this agree
with the previous determination otihe Priyy
Council, acted upon by the bishops, Of ex-
Guiding her Majesty name from the Liturgy
Of the church, and thereby of Withdrawing
from her the religious duty and prayers Of
the people? There is an inconsistency in
this procedure that must strike every obser.
yer. Her majesty is rejected by the church,
and recognized by the courts Of law, and
both these acts emanate from the confidential
counsels of the king Have they given up
their first advice to his majesty upon the con-
viction Of its error, or did they in the first
instance give promise to hi, Majesty which
they are not now ready to fulfil?
London Morning Chron.
.Nad,id, Ipril II.
Tie Provisional government esta-
blished al Barcelona, in their sitting OF
the 10th ult. framed several Resolutions
respecting the organization OF the Pro
yincial Militia, the nomination Of
Judges, &c. and IA proclamation was to
be published proving to the people the
advantages of the Constitution.
Some Spanish officers who had taken
refuge in foreign countries, having re-
CURED passports from the Captain &C.
neral Of Navarro (Mina) in order to
return home, the latter consulted the
governor whether they were comprc-
Tended in tho decree authorising the
return of Spaniards absent from the
kingdom through their political opini-
onS.
In conformity to the report made to
his majesty by the Secretary of State,
Don Antonio PorceI, answer was given
that it was net the intention Of the
King to interfere with the DEGREES of
the cortes relating to those who had
served the intrusive government is
was, therefore, necessary to wait the
cortes on this subject. Orders were
consequently sent to the frontiers, to
prevent the entry into Spain Of such as
are thus implicated.
ROYAL DECREE OF TEE EIGHTH.
..The King having seen with pain
that an Individual Of his guard, by un.
guarded, if not criminal expressions,
Yesterday gave occasion for some mo-
lnentary agitation in this capital, in or
der that false suppositions may not
hereafter give rise to disorders of a
more serious kind, his Majesty wishes
that the Commander in Chief cause it
to he made known to all persons of the
Royal Guard, that his Majesty swore
to the constitution spontaneously and
in voluntary manner, that it has now
become the Fundamental law Of the
State; and that his majesty is firmly
resolved TO maintain it by every means
in his power.
His Msjesty will treat all those as
guilty, who by their actions or words,
may be wanting to the submission due
to the social compact that tightens tbs
bonds that binds his Maj sty to his
people. 1t is to be hoped that those
who are nearer his Royal Person, will
be the most eager to give proofs of their
fidelity to their Sovereign and attach
ment to the existing Government"
The King has just given proof of
his fidelity to the oath he has taken to
the Constitution. A Monk, who no
doubt was acting in the interest of some
malcontents, made report to him, in
which he sought to prove he could an
null the oath the King had taken. We
learn his Majesty gave orders for the
original to be sent to the Junta of Co
