Some altercation took place between the Court and Jury. The Court obferved, that Mr. Brown, the keeper, had a moft awful res¬ ponsibility on his hands, and the Court could not fay, that, in refusing the gen¬ tlemen of the Grand Jury admiffion to the prifoners, he had aded improperly. The Jury protefted againft the power exercifed by the Court. The Jury then proceeded to Newgate, and in the afternoon returned with the fol¬ lowing prefentment. " The London Grand Jury refpedfully beg leave to piefent to the Court, that, in their opinion, the alarming increafe of crime in the Metropolis, efpecially among the juvenile offenders, 16 to be chiefly at¬ tributed to the very inadequate state of Newgate Ptifon, for the purpofc of clafs- 3ng the prifoners according to their various degrees of criminality ; thus, boys and girls, who may have been committed for fome flight mifdemeanors, are forced to affociate with the bafest and most harden¬ ed felons, and are confequently returned upon fociety (when the periods of their imprifonment are palled) in the poffeffion of all the theory of the most pradised of¬ fenders. The Grand Jury, therefore, earnestly implore the Court to give their most ferious and immediate retention to this deplorable state of Newgate Prifon, and to adopt fuch meafures as (hall effect¬ ually remove this great difcredit from the Metropolis I " The Grand Jury beg leave respedivc- Jy further to prefent. that in the cxeffCiie I of their duty they have been refufed ad- iriffion to that part of Newgate where the State Prifoners are confined ; thus the rights and privileges which have been hand¬ ed down from their predeceffors to the Grand Jury, have, in their humble judg¬ ment, been infringed.

The King, defirous to accelerate the meeting of the Cortes, has iffucd a decree, fixing it for the 9th of June, inftead of the 9th of July. Admiral Villavicencio, had arrived at Madrid from Cadiz, and was to take charge of the organization of the national army. Tranquility had not been reftorcd at Valencia. Elio is the principal objed of diflike. The inhabitants had burnt the effigy of this man, and demanded that he /hould be brought before the tribunals. The Madrid Gazette ofthe3dofA- pril, contains three Royal Decrees- The iirft confirms that of the Cortes, dated 19th July, 1813, and abolifoes for ever all privileges and exclufive revenues, pub¬ lic and private, which belonged to the Crown, under the title of $i Royal Patri¬ mony."—The King alfo oidains that all the arrears of the faid revenues, due on the 9th of laft March, (hall be exclusively be¬ llowed on the children and parents of the people who were maffacred by the foldiers of Cadiz, on the 10th ult. The fecond Decree, with the view of removing all the obftacles that exifl to the improvement of agriculture in Spain, conrtrm3 the Decree of the Cortes, dated the 12th of Odober, 1812, and abolifhes the rights known in divers parts of Spain by the name of the 4t Vow of St. Jago ;" and alio ordains that the arrefts due to the 9th of March, lhall be devoted to the fime purpofe as thofe mentioned in the firft Decree.

Our readers will now fee that her Majefty has been fully, publicly, and folcmnly recognized in all her rights and privileges by the firft tribunals of the land— the High Courts of Juftice. Meffrs. Brougham and Denman on Thurfday appeared in the Courts of Chancery and King's Bench, and in the Vice Chancel lor's Court, and were called within the bar asherMajefty's Attorney and Solicitor General. It is fingular that three Judges ufed different forms of expreffion. The Lord Chancellor faid—It having been intimated to me that her Majefty the Queen having been pleafed to appoint, etc. The Lord Chief Jul!fee—You having reported to me that her Majefty the Queen has been gracieufly pleafed to ap- point, etc. The Vice-chancellor—Her Majefty the Queen having been gracioufiy pleafed, etc. You will take you/ place within the bar among his Majcfty's councel, with all rank and precedence belonging to the office of Attorney (or Solicitor) General to her Majefty. Thefc. Gentlemen then took their places, and were called upon to move accordingly in each court. Upon this proceeding we forbear to offer any remarks, except that it is cur* rrtitiy rumored" m die mgiicr circles, that the King*f mfnf&ers having had the option of another courf'-, preferred the one now ftate:lf thereby at once evincing to the world their final determination to attempt nothing whatever againft the Queen. But how does this agree with the previous determination of the Privy Council, aded upon by the Bffoops, of excluding her Majefty's name from the Liturgy of the Church, and thereby of withdrawing from her the religious duty and prayers of the people ?—^There is an inconfiftency in this procedure that muft ftrike every obferver. Her majefty is rejected by the church, and recognized by the courts of law, and both thefe ads emanate from the confidential Counfels of the King ! Have they given up their first advice to his Majesty upon the conviction of its error, or did they in the firs: instance give a promife to his Majesty which they are not now ready to fulfil ?—Lon Mor» Chr.

The Lord Chancellor stated, that his Majesty had been pleafed to order letters patent to be iffucd for the appointment of certain Lords therein named to open the Parliament, which letters patent the Lords and Gentlemen prclent would now hear read. The Commiffion being read, The Lord Chancellor (as organ of the Commiflio'iers) addreffed both Houfes as follows :— " My Lords and Gentlemen, " By virtue of his Majesty's commiffion under the Great Seal, to us and other Lords dire&ed, and now read, we have to state to you, in obedience to his Majesty's commands, that aa foon as a fuffieient number of members of both houfes foall have been (worn, the caufe of his Ma¬ jesty's calling this Parliament ftiall be de¬ clared.
