- and weeks to have been detailed at the bar of the

, HOUSE OF LORDS-—No“v. 8.
Qzieeafs Trz'al.—-After some verbal alterations
had been made in the preamble of the bill,
The Archbishop of York rose tooppose the Di-
vorce clause, as he (lcemetl marriage a sacred or-

dinance of religion. He admitted that without
such clause the bill could not be supported. As
a legislator hemust oppose the bill, though if he
were required to decide judicially he must say
‘ guilty.’

The Bishops of Chester, and of VVorcester ar-
gued against the clause; and the Bishops ofLang-
dull‘ and London, and the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, in support ofthe clause.

Lord Dououghmore regretted that there had
not been a concurrent feeling on the Rev. bench
on this subject. He thought this a state meas-
ure, which ought to pass entire; and that they

._ should not reject the divorce any more than any
other part of the bill.

Lord Liverpool stated that when there was no
state necessity to demand a contrary proceeding,
he thought the public voice ought to be attended
to. On this principle be now acted, and as this
clause was not called for by state necessity, he
should vote ' gainst it.

The Archbishop of Tuam argued strongly a-
gainst the clause, and (lccl'.u'e(l if it was retained,
he could not vote for the third reading of the bill.

The Lord Chancellor said. his opinion was in
favor of the clause; but for the iclig-ious preju-
dices of others, be was content to give it up.

Lord Lansdowu protested against the doctrine
that there could be a woman existing is this couri-
try, the’ wife of the King,_ and yet not be the
Queen Consort.

Lord King said there had been great con-
fusion of opinions upon this subject: there had
been confusion amongst the ministers, confusion
amongst the lawyers, and confusion amongst the
prelates, (a laugh.) The scruples of they Bish-
ops no doubt arose from religious consideratio’ns,
audit was to be regretted that amongst the fa-
thers ofthe Church of Etiglantl, there was not that
conformity of opinion upon which that church so
much prided itself. His Lordship said his mind
had been somewhat prejudiced against her Ma-
jesty, as he fear:-d their Lordships were, by re-
ports of conduct long since passed. At this pe-
riod to which he alluded, it was said that the
Queen hudbcen guilty ofthe greatest indu:cnr;ies._
not with Berganni, but with other persons; that

her l‘v'laj«:sty, at Blacltltczrth, had been glilll)’ of, _

--and that she had played bliutlm;rn’:; buff with
the Chancellor of the Exchequer 1 (continued
laughter.) I-ale (Lord King) could not refer to the
exact period at which those extraordinary and in-
decent proceedings took place.
Earl of Liver/wot —They never took place.
Lord King.--1 cannot, I assure your lordships,
refer to the exact time, but it must have been, I
think, when the Noble Earl was out of place, and
looking for means to get into office, before the
Regency. (Laugl‘rtcr.)
liar] of Liverpool--Never, upon my lionor.
Lord King said, it was then, an instance to the
noble Earl, how much reliance was to be placed
upon reports. (Much laughter.)
Earl Gray said four of the Bishops, it appeared,
were on one side, and four on the other. For
himself he had felt considerable difliculty in vot-
ing eitherfor or against the clause; but he h'.;d
now made up his min-.'.l to vote for retaining the
-clause, believing that it would place the Housel
in such a situation that they might reject the bill

and rendered incapable of holding any place of
profit or emolument under the crown.’ (Laugh-
ter.) The amendment was negatived. ‘ . f
JV'av. IO.---The order of the day having been‘
moved for, the third -reading of the bill of pains
and penalties, a lengthy and spirited debate took
place. Afterjwhich, the house dividetl, and it
appeared that there‘ were only a majority of nine: I
in favor of the bill. The diversity of opinion a--
mong the Lords upon certain points, and the op...
position of the Bishops to the divorce clause,
was evidently the cause of this small tnajor'ity;.
but this trifling -majority was viewed by the min-:
istry as equivalent to it defeat; they fot'esaw,tha‘,,
with with so formidable and unexpected a nljflljbtfisfij
against them in the upper house, togethertwith-.-
the loud and strong voice of the people, that tli_ejl:e_-
remained no chance of carrying the measure?‘

After some further debate, the committee divi-
ded, when there appeared for retaining the clause
129-against it 62.

Lord King, alluding to her Majesty's claim to
the succession to the Crown, moved tleat the ful-
lowing clause should form part of the bill : ‘And
be it further enacted, by the authority aforesaid,
that in case the Crown of these realms shall at
any time descend to her said Majesty, Caroline
Amelia Elizabeth, then, and in such case, this
present Act, and all the matters and things con-
tained therein, shall become utterly void and of no
effct, and the whole of the preamble thereof shall
be (lCClll‘.5(l and taken to be false, calumniotrs, and
.SCall(l‘<tlit'..'-;. upon the same evidence on which it
hath now b.';cn held to be sufficiently pt'oveu.’

Lor'cls'~Jol'.'ille and Lauderclalc, in great varmth,
-opp-used the motion, which they Consider‘:-d as re-
flecting upon thosr: who supported the bill.

Lord Kirtg Sit'lt'.l that there could be nothing -:li:-.-

it was a necessary consequence of their regard

which every Mortar-cit was deemed ~ most excel-

character, the moment the Quccu succcef ‘ed to
the Throne they must change their belief of her
conduct. The clause was ncgativcd. —

Jvov. 9.—-Lord King moved,that the words pre-
vious to the words ‘great scandal and dishonor
have been brought upon your majesty’s family
and this kingdom,’ in this clause, should be omit-
ted, and the following words substituted--‘And
whereas certain commissioners were appointed
to proceed to Milan, who, together‘ with one Vi-

demanded such at description, and if this amend-
ment were acceded to, he should move this fur-

The London papers give lengthy particulars of
the splendid illuminatio_ns, and the very general
denioostratiou of popular feeling, in consequence
ofthe result of the Queen's case. In every di-
rcc=.ion was one continued blaze of light; the
windows were handsomely decorated with leaves

‘ of laurel, among which were interspersed mor-

tos declaratory of the affections wbich the owners
of the houses bore towards her Majesty. Some
of tin: streets were extremely brilliant; exhibit-
ing fire works, splendid stars, and festcons form-
ed oflamps, and garlands of white flowers at the
\‘wll1Elt.'\t'5. In one house was a full lcngtli portrait
oftbe Queen; over her head were these words
‘ They have done their utmost to destroy me ;’
and under her feet in which she trampledwcrc the
words ‘ l..e_ach, Cooke, and Conspiracy.’ In her
right hand she hcld a. scroll, on which were the
words ‘ God and the people.’ In another were
three busts of the Queen, each tS‘.ll'l'OllIl(l8Cl with
white ribbons, face. But the most intcrtzsting and
novel sight, (says one of the papers) was the il-
lumiration of the ships in the Pool, visible from:
London Bl'l(lgt:. The effect was indeed extreme-
ly beautiful. Every ship as far as the eye could
reach, was lighted, not only at the mast-lrcad,but
at the ‘cows, and in various parts of the vessel.——-
Every description of vessel, from the Oyster-
smack to the East-lndiaman, and extending from
London bridge to Limehouse-Pool, took part in
the general joy. London bridge was completely
crowded with people anxious to witness the inter-
esting scene. During this time immense crowds
we {ted the stieets, with an air o__fbusy joy in their
ccunteuances, and the shouts and the horns of the
ztew.--uteri with various papers and publications
on the subject of the almost univcrs-ttl joy, were
heard in every quarter. One man amused the
populace with exclairning-—‘ Here is the admira-
ble mess into vzic/2 his l‘tlajesty’s Ministers have
got themselves, all for one penny.’ The cry of
another vociferous fellow was, ‘ Hetc’s Brough-
z.m’s Drops and l)cnman’s Pills, whicli“have giv-
en the gripes to my Lord Castlereagh; one of
cm’s a dose; price won penny.’

At Cambridge, and the neighboring towns, the
bells ofthe churches proclaimed the grateful news
of the Queen's acquittal, and magnificent and
brilliant illuminations took place. At Gravesend,
there was a grand procession, preceded by a band
of music, and followed by a waggon containing
the efiigies of four persons who cut a conspicu-
ous figure in the late investigation. After they
had gone through all the streets, the efiigies were
burnt. Majocchi was burnt in effigy here and in
several other places on the 5th November.

At the Borough of U/arwick, an enormous
green bag, with the seals of office affixed‘, and the
efiigies of those two witnesses, Majocclii and De
Mont, were ’ spendcd from a gallows, and carri-
ed through tl -'.difi‘ere'nt streets, accompanied with
a great concourse of people, some with old tin
pots, kettles, trumpets, fifes, Stc. playing the
‘ Rogues‘ March.’ After moving in solemn pro-
cession for about three hours, they were taken to
an enormous pile, upwards of 25 feet high, in front
of their Castle-gates, over which the efligies and

‘Church, could not agree.

‘dgaitisl hot, she must be considered as acquitted.

happy escape of his illustrious Consort, and to

[Our rt-at‘.ers will have percei*:ed in the last and
;present numbers of our paper, as lull an account
of the close. of the trial of the Queen of England
-‘as our limits would possibly allow.

Two circttmstanccs attending the close of this
2.-sock (rial. deserve particular attention. The first
is, that after the withdrawing of the Bill in the
liouse of Lords, they only person who declared his
discontent, was the Duke of Montrose, who is, by '
his situation as Master of the Horse, an immedi-
ate depentlant of‘ George the Fourth. The sec-
ond is. that on it frluin qutrsliun of moral rigltl, the

The following remarks
from an Etrglislr paper, will set these two circum-
stances in a proper point of view

* The Duke of Montrose said that, "' for one, he
should never acknowledge llt‘l‘ Majesty as his
Queen.” This noble person thus declares that,
whatever the law may be, he shall only obey so
much of it as pleases him; that though the law
says her rajesty is Queen ‘of all the persons in
the realm, he, the Duke of Montrose, and Master
of the Horse, will not acknowledge her. 'l'his is
very convenient doctrine for some pt-zrsonfs: it
must be convenient for house-breakers not to ac-
.l-2:owt‘rt1ge the law against burglary, and for the
pick-pocket not to c:c/rzzo-zvlccfge the law against
privatelystettlir‘ig from the person; and it would be
very Ct;l)‘.t;‘llli:l‘ll for the tax-payers of Great Brit-
ain not to ac/mawlec!gc the right of the tax-gatber-
ers to demand from them the money of which a
liberal part is disbursed to this conscientious and
intelligent person, as a salary for the performance
of an ol‘r'.ce which would be sulliciently paid by the
tlignity attached to it.

° Of all the revolting circumstances in the pro-
rccdings against her majesty, none fills us with
more alarm and disgust than the conduct of the
Lords Spiritual. VVhat l on the simple question
of divorce, a question quite on the surface of di-
vinity,are our Bishops divided ? Cannot they a-
gree on the interpretation of a plain text of scrip-
ture, which he that runs may read and understand!
How, if they had been called upon for theirjudg-
ment, touching the mysteries of our Holy Reli-
gion ? VV ho s_hall henceforth say a word against
dissenters amongst the laity, when the Fathers of
the Church disagree? Surely the Lord Chancel-
lor did not laugh in his sleeve, when he ptrt them
on this perilous task——he must have well known
what their judgment would have been in a com-
mon case between subject and subjt-ct-—had he
any secret hopes that the gospel would be stretch-
ed as the law had been ? May the Right Reverend
Fathers never hereafter find occasion to exclaim
with the consci<:ncestrickeu Cardinal-.

FROM LAGU.lRA—-IMPORTANT.
Jrrnistice between t/zc Patriots and Royal traojrs.

Capt. Craycroft, of the schr. Tom, who left
Laguira Dec. 21st, informs, that on the l5th,there"
was a general rejoicing at that place and Carra‘c-'-
cas, on account of an armistice having been con.
cluded for six months, between Generals Bolivar
and Morillo. Two officers from Bolivar’s army
passed through Caraccas and Liguira on the 18th
on their way to Margarita Island, and Barcelona,
to give information ofthe armistice. Gen. Mo-
rillo had resigned the command of the Spanish
army, and was succeeded by Gen. La Torras.--
The former had arrived at Porto’ Cavello, and"
was fitting out the schooner Morillo to carry him
to Spain ; and a great number of oflicers hadpro-
ceeded to that place to take leave ofhim. On
the 20th Dec. a Spanish squadron of3 frigates
1 brig of 22 guns, 1 ketch of 16 guns, 3 large
transports, and I schooner, arrived at Laguira

from Cadiz, with 15,000 stand of arms, anti clo- 

thing and provisions for the army. Business was
entirely suspended at Laguira.

Jufl. 6.-—ln addition to the important intelli-
gence published yesterday, of an armistice be-
tween the contending parties on the Spanish Main,
we learn, further from Capt. C. that the propo-
sition for the trucc was made by the Patriots, but
for what reason remainsunexplained. There had
been no intelligence ofany recent defeat of the
Patriots ; on the contrary, it was known at Ligui-
ra that they had not only taken Santa Martha,bu't: —
had followed up their victory at that place, by the
capture of Barcelona, and another small fortress
in its neighborhood. ~

Capt. C. states that the armistice was not to go
into effect with respect to the vessels of war of
either party, in the VVest India seas until 30rdays
from the date of its conclusion, and 60 days are al-
lowed to vessels on the European coast.

It is stipulated that if any. troops should arrive"
from Spain during the six months, they shall be
landed at Porto Rico, and no other place, and shall
remain inactive during the period ofthe armis-
lice.

The Ports of Maricaibo and Carthagena, are to
be left open anti free to the Patriots, during the
same period.

A division ofBolivar’s army remained near Ca-
laboza, about 70 miles from Caraccas.

After the signing of the armistice. generals
Bolivar and Morillo met on the litres and dined to-
gether.

riot forces, on the 12th Nov. Capt. H. has been
at Santa It/lartba since i-ts capture, and furnishes
the following items of intelligence relative to the
event: Fort Ccnega, on the river Magdalena, it
appears, was something like a key to Santa Mar-
tha--this fort the Patriots possessed themselves
of, by storm on the l lth, after massacreing about
600 persons-«the remaintlcr, but few in number,
belonging to the fort, escaped by flight. The next:
day Admiral Brion brought his sqtradron before
Santa Martha, and sent a flag ashore demanding
its surrender, which was accordingly done in in
manner and upon terms corresponding with the
demand. a ‘ ‘ ' ‘
