The genuine history of the proceedings against the QUEEN begins to transpire. The reason of the Ha noverians haring their hands so deep in the dirty work, was from an intention to institute the prose cution in the immaculake Coerts of that' German kingdom, and then to have brought the record Of the conviction to this country; but the British Mi nistry were afraid that the Parliament would not consent to degrade the KING and QUEEN upon any certificates of a Hanoverian trial. The really revolutionary Prints still continue their brutal abuse of the Highest Female in the kingdom. Hear how one of them (The New Times) speaks, in allusion to the Letter written to Lotd LIVERPOOL by command of her MAJESTY / " The Qum is perfectly well accommodated at Brandas burgh House, and it can surely do her no harm to remain there, at least till the meeting of Parliament for the dispatch of bu siness. When chit event happens, if the two Houses should think her worthy to occupy a Royal Palace, they may possibly address the l's:uic to that effect, and to such Address his Mk arm wilt no doliat pay the most gracious attention. We must own, however, our private opinion is, that their Address will convey to the Kuio the expression of very different sentitlients. Means must and will be adopted to lay before OM Roue of Commons the evidence taken in the Lords; and with that evi dence before them, it is beyond all conception that they should treat her MaJarrr as a pure and spotless Quur!" Another article in the same Paper, and on the same subject, says : " The controul over the Palaces, erected by the nation for the convenience and dignity of our Royal Family, ft Wholly vested by Parliament in the hands of the Sovereign, as the father or representative of that family; and as his Dlsserry is answer able to the country for their preservation and distribution, I conceive that he would be highly censurable had he permitted any of those mansions to be the residence of a female, more no toriously degraded by her unjustifiable deportment. than by all the prosecutions and verdicts which necessity may sanction, or eluity pronounce." " It is not to be thought far a moment," says this friend of truth and justice, " that she be QPICIN) can ever again be looked upon, or treated, as she might have been, if the Green Bag had never been opened. The contents, which, by her in fatuated answer to the Commons, she was the cause of snaking public, remain fur ever recorded against her on the Journals of the House of Lords. Iler name is for ever coupled with that of the low v;:gabond menial, whom she raised to wealth and to nobility, and with whom she slept for five weeks under the same tent ! This is conduct, which, consistently with Its duty to the nation, Parliament cannot and will not pass over. For the present, however, it will be prudent on all sides (assuredly ft will he so on the part of the Quzz.v) to suffer angry feelings to subside. Threats of severity on the one side, or of turbulence on the other, would be better avoided: the time will come when her Miami's pretensions may be urged with more de cency, and considered with more indulgence." Again, this same vehicle of moral purity thus speaks of the Queen's intended visit to St. Paul's : " The scheme of a Thanksgiving in St. Paul's is really too shocking to be contemplated with patience. What! Is it ex pected that any Minister of the Church should lend the authority of his sacred function to so gross and daring an insult on the House of Lords; as to offer up particular Thanks to Atmicrotr Goo for the proceedings which have taken place on the 13111 sof Pains and Penalties. Painful indeed was the necessity which compelled a large majority of that august body to declare the grievous charge against her 11sse.sry proved ; and to pretend to extract, from this, matter of exultation and joy, is to substitute for penitence and sorrow the shameless audacity of a front of brass. The QueEN may certainly attend Divine Worship at St. Paul's; but if she does, no alteration whatever can be made in the public service of the day on that account. The officiating Minister dares not even to pray for her by name in the Liturgy, much less to insult Auction , Goo by any pretended Turin of Thanksgiving I" " The Cluscm may certainly' attend Divine Wor- ship in St. Paul's." How condescending ! Is it not very kind it the Nets Times to allow this ? But might her 'Alan:slit go there if the Nem Times could prevent it? We rather think that this would.be "too shocking to be contemplated with patience" for a single moment, by that virtuous guardian of public morals. We have heard much of the insidious labours of the Dissenters, to draw away the Hocks from their legal pastors; but never, in our days, and we have seen more than falls to the lot of most men, did we ever witness so deliberate a procedure carried on, to drive every conscientious individual away from his Parish Church, as the measure which was countenanced by the Reverend Bench of Bishops to punish an Illus trious Individual, without even the form of a trial, by excluding her name from the Liturgy. Talk, . indeed, of the assaults of the Methodist: 4 " as certain men choose to designate all who differ from them on a ny point—talk of the assaults made by such men to overturn the venerable fabric of the Church of England,"—what are they compared with the new torpedo which has been introduced by these " Sons of Wisdom ?' Was it ever before known, since the Church of England was established by law, that Prayers were ordered by authority, of such a nature as to make whole congregations simultaneously, and by one impulse, quit the Church, and leave the Parson and the Clerk to finish the Service alone? Yes, the People " *ay certainly attend Divine Wor ship," but neither the Bishops .. nor The New Times can make them hear, or say 4/11011 to, Prayers which they disapprove. If "no alteration whatever can be made in the Public Service," the building of the. new Churches may be suspended without farther loss of time and, ere long, even the old ones will become untenanted. Another letter has been written, by command of her Maiarrr, to Lord LIVERPOOL, in answer to his Lordship's communication, that until Parliament shall meet for 'dispatch of business, the allowance hitherto enjoyed by the QUEEN will be continued." Her MAJESTY, in her reply, informs his Lordship, " that so long as Parliament was sitting, and con nived at the continuation of the allowance granted to her as Princess of WALES, she did not deem the re ceiving of it inconsistent with her honour ;:bitt that now that Ministers have announced their determina tion to prorogue Parliament,- without ,proposing any regular provision for the due maintenance of her dignity as Qualm, she no longer feels herself at li berty to receive any allowance which is not sanc tioned by Parliament . ; and that, in taking it upon themselves to pay to her either the amount of her fOrmer allowance, or any other sum, without such sanction, Ministers must be aware that they are acting disrespectfully towards her, and in violation of the law." As to a suitable residence for her MAJESTY, Minis ters may shuffle as much as they will, and talk about the Royal Palaces being the property of the Kt No, this is all mere idle declamation. The Public have nothing to do with the KING in this question, for "the KING can do no wrong." The KING acts by the advice of his Ministers, and they •are responsible. It is their duty to give proper advice to the KING, and, if be will not hear them, they cannot be at a loss to know the course they ought to follow. The Public are so indignant, that many talk of building a Palace by. subscription for the wife of GEORGE THX FOURTH !• One Gentleman has addressed a letter to Alderman WOOD, enclosing a draft upon his banker f r 50 gui neas, towards a fund " for building a Royal Palace' . for her MAJESTY, at once befitting the dignity of the QurELN, the affection of her People, and their sym-, pathy in her sufferings, from the first moment of her•landing on the English shore Feeling confident that a Fund to any amount required would (if sane tioncd and supported by him) be subscribed with un paralleled rapidity."—A Lady has also addressed a similar letter to him, with 100 guineas; and we doubt not that any sum adequate to such an object might speedily be raised : but we do doubt of the propriety of such a measure. Is it fitting that Minis rers should be allowed to evade the discharge of their duty by the subscription of private individuals?— Neither Parliament nor the Nation will submit to this degradation. The Palaces and Funds provided for the due maintenance of the Royal Family are ample (or may be made so), and they must not be misap plied to gratify spleen and malice. It has been pretended, that a new Administration could not be formed in connection with the great Proprietary Families, This is one of those insidious stratagems by which the adherents of the present race of political adventurers contrive to obtain a sort of acquiescence, from the Moderate Patty, to the con tinued misrule of their superiors. But we would ask if the following List of Noblemen and Gentlemen would be less derogatory to the Crown and the best interests of the People, than the Pains and Penalties Cabal?

Mr..LusisMscaossaus, s Lord of the Treasury, (elm some on. known). Were we to extend the List, it might, perhaps, be supposed that we had more seriously considered this matter than we have done; but it is quite enough to shew, that, were the disposition not lacking, nothing would be wanting to form an Administration, even to its lowest branches, which would be, in talent, in connection, in opulence, and ikcharacter, equal to any that has, in our day, possessed the power as& patronage of office. •••••••••=••••11 By the ship General Palmer, arrived at Portsmagth from Madras, whence she sailed the 15th ciJime, we have received the following information f Ships lying in Madras Roads, on the2sth of June : . - His Majesty's ships LUNDE*, Rear-Admiral Sir IL Butt wenn ; Coat.zw, Captain Bi.Acnwoos ; FAUN, Captain Loos; and Lyntaroor., Captain C,oastits; the Sweepstakes, Snuff ; Coutts, Mamatsawas; Struttel, Rataton ; Resource, Wu- Lasts; Two Brothers, BATTON ; Britannia, SNOWIALL ; 9211" C 111,221; Lord Wellington, Hu.t.; Duke of York, Colfraszt.

The Races took place while the General Palmer staid there, at which were present General MONTELLO and the Countess of BERTRAND, With their families. On the 20th September, the General Palmer was boarded by a boat from the Island of Ascension, and was informed a spring of water bad been found in the interior of the Isle. The place was perfectly healthy. Great 'pains have been taken to raise seeds and plants, but not the least vegetation can be effected. The latest news they had received was in March. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived this forenoon. It is said that the next Session of the Chambers will commence on the Sd of December, and that the ceremony of the baptism of the infant Duke of Botta otAvz will take place on the 4th. _ _ _ The Spanish Cortes have passed a Decree, which is said to have received the sanction of the KINO, prohibiting the importation into Spain of colonial produce, particularly sugar and cocoa, linen and cotton stuffs, &c. " Many persons ask," says an ar ticle from !run, " whether the state of industry among ourselves is suck as to enable us thus to dispense with foreign productions?" The question may, we I think, be safely answered in the negative. Nothing has transpired as to the result of the con ferences at 'froppau, •if we except the following ge neral announcement :—" Great and strong measures have been resolved on by the Sovereigns. Europe will be saved from the horrors of anarchy!" The artillery which accompanies the Austrian army into Italy amounts to more than 200 pieces. ALI still stands out, and the GRAND SEIGNIOR has got wroth with his Ministers for the delay in bring ing this chieftain to him, dead or alive. The Italian journals, which have so often blown him in the air, say now, that they were only anticipating what cer tainly will take place, " for Au has declared it." French 5 per Cents.

DRURY-LANE THEATRILLaSt night Mr. WAtr LACK 'resumed his professionaliabours in this coun try, having appeared for the first time since his re turn from America, in the arduous character of Hamlet. He was greeted very cordialy on coming forward, and in the progress of the scene he was re peatedly_honoured with such applause as can only be ascribed to the talent with which he acquitted himself. The manner in which the announcement cf the same Tragedy for repetition was received, must afford every encouragement to his exertions. His Ancing, in the last scene, was most skilfully executed; and Mr. BARA6RD, his antagonist, as Laertes, come in for his share of acknowledgment. The Ophelia of Miss KELLY was natural, simple, and deeply affecting ; she was truly the innocent, the affectionate, and unhappy girl which SHAKSPEARS intended her to be. The interesting victim of her own fond nature, and the wayward and erratic passions of her Royal, and no less unhappy lover. In the mad scene she was eminently successful. The other characters were well filled.,-The House was crowded. Covnyr-GARDEN.,—Last night, an Afterpiece, en titled The Iroquois.; or, The Canadian Basket-maker, was brought out at this Theatre for the first time. The story is taken from the old French tale of the Marquis and the Basket-maker among the Indians, who very naturally prefer the industry and utility of the latter to the pomp and affectation of the former. The music was chiefly a compilation from Swoasce, Sump, BISHOP, and Moons. There was an excel rent Trio, by Miss LOVE, Mr. Duatrarr, and .Master LoNonnasT. The scenery, by GRIEVE and otlicr , , was peculiarly magnificent, and the piece was got up with all the splendour that distinguishes aus Theatre. The representation was, however, frequently interrupted ; and when Mr. DURUSET appealed to announce its repetition, the noes rather predominated- that gray pro pest of of tl wer dow Mal Cou prix pot the Chu tor 1 min men dow shoe heat vi trans It corn sieve rnory perju Yes sratel to th at Cc West ltalig and I and 1 Nom remo them went, their air n the n ,fi-cigi passil read The seat, 1 The Crort, Lot tutnab Mai Brunt L.
