• ' -~~ . _ • eate,—that the person at the head of the civil go vernment of Scotland, and whose duty it is to prosecute the authors of libels, should himself be . a proprietoi, for such be really is, of the most infamously scurrilous. and libeilous paper that ever was published in this or any other country, is, indeed, in spite of alj that has passed, truly astonishing. The Lord Advocate is the great conservator of the public. peace of this portion of the Empire; and yet he has been, for these eight month's past, the pledged,lbe Loynd patron and supporter of a paper, every number of which has a manifest and certain tendency to occasion a breach of the peace ! Is his Lordship ignorant of the answer that was returned by the avowed conddctors of The Beacon to Messrs. Gibson - and•Stnart, When they applied to know who were the *attars of the reiterated calumnies of their character ? Does his Lordship not -know that these Gentlemen were, with matchless effrontery, told, that if they meant to proceed in the usval way—that if they meant to expose themselves to be shot at by their concealed traducer, his 'ane would be given up; bat that if they meant to take legal measures, it was against John -Nimmo, the servant of Duncan-Stevenson, that obey mnst be direct ed ? Is it possible that the Lord Advocate, the Solici tor-General, and the Delude-Advocate, are all ignorant of facts known to every other individual, and as noto rious as the sun at noon day ? leave it to the public , to answer this question. 'tut 'it is certain, Mit to this Four these worthy and efficient conservators of the pub• lie peace have taken do iteps to put down a system which threatens the-lestruction of life a well as of character. A regularly oranisetl manufactory of blackguardism— .. sk college of pr4ssed libellists and duellists has been ' set up. not in Miance of the Government of the coun try, but by means of the -contributions, the patronage, and the support of its highest functionaries ! Every man who presumes to qcestion the policy of any action of Ministers, is to be assailed with the most rancorous personal abuse, and loaded with every vulgar epithet that can be selected from the flowers of Billings gate oratory; and when he complains, he is eitlier to seek redress from the pistols of an acknowledged slan derer, or from the pennyless pockets of a man of stria: This s y s t e m cannot be tolerated. But if it could, we would - ask the Lord Advocate, with what face be could tread the same boards, or meet either in public or pri vate, with Messrs. Craustoun, Clerk, Murray, Jef frey, Grant, Cockburn, and the other distinguished ad vocates who have been abused and calumniated in every number of ti paper ultich he is pledged " to counte nance and support," and in the sale of which he has a VEIT:U*ILT INTEREST ? If the Lord Presi:lent was warranted in making a motion, that Mr. Mortbland should be expelled from the faculty, on the ground of his being connected with an igfansens paper, in what situation must Sir William Rae now stand ? It is in vain that he endeavours to excuse himself by what he eays about not reading The Beacon, and of his not being acquainted with its personalities. If he did not read it, he ought to have done so. No individual is to be allowed to become the patron of a horde of assassins, and when discovered, to plead ignorance of their practices, and to tell us that he took them for a set of " honest gentlemen." This is really too pitiful a subterfuge to be listened to for one moment. The Lord Advocate admits, that be has seen some numbers of the paper; and he is a much duller man than we take him to be, if it required snore than the perusal of the fire/ number to satisfy him that it was a scandal ' one publication, and one with which no gentleman could be connected. When the infamous London Newspaper called the John Dail was mentioned in the ❑ouse of Commons, Lord Londonderry indignantly repelled the insinua tion, that it had been countenanced or supported by Ministers. What then must his Lordship say, when be finds that the person at the bead of his Majesty's tiovernment in Scotland is a patron and pecuniary sup-' F urter of a Journal which far transcends the J o hn Bull in the virulent abuse of private character? Lord LONDON ue!atv was, doubtless, sincere in the sentiment of reprobation of personal slander implied in his dis clamation ; and he must, therefore, view the conduct of the Lord Advocate as having brought disgrace on the Administration of which he is a Member. Had the Attorncy-General of England been discovered to have the same connection with the Jolt Bull that the Lord Advocate admits he has with 'L/se Beacon, he could not again hare either sbewn his face at the Bar, or in the House of Commons. That Sir Walter Scott—the printer of Blackwood's Magazine—slsould be a partner and supporter of The Beaco , :, cannot, after what has taken place within the' laq two or three years, excite any surprise, and bas in point of fact, been reluctantly confessed by himself. 'the Lord Advocate and Sir Walter Scott are the only individuals of the rank of Gentlemen who we Lave as yet ascertained to be connected with The Bea con. But we are informed that there are in all TIP TEcx signatures to the bond ; and it is impossible that the thirteen remaining conspirators against the public peace can long ennceal themselves. A s soon as we have learned who•they are, we pledge ourselies •to proclaim them to the 'ffi;orld, and to give such an exposition of their conduct, as shall make the public pretty well acquainted witkthis junto of secret libelers. They are petVerful, and act in concert— —Devil with devil damn'd, Firm concord holds-- but we equally despise their single and their united enrts. And nothing that either their rage or their malice can snggest stall have the effect of deterring us from inflicting such chastisement as the enormity of their offences halloo well deserves. It is truly gratifying to observe the return which the patrons of slander make to the tools theyemployto execute their dirty work. The hacks by whom the libel►in The Beacon, are indited affected to consider Dlr. Stuart degraded, because; forsooth, he refused fo treat the printer of a series of foul ind injurious slanders on the character of individuals as a gentleman. But tti hat was the conduct of their patron, the Lord Advo cate, when Mr. Stuart applied to him to know whs.' tber he approved of, the attacks on his character and honour contained in The Beacox ? Instead of retain ' ing to sanction the conduct of the writers of a Jourpal which it is " his earnest wish to countenance and sup port," and instead of presuming to consider hir.-Stuart degraded by their abuse, or as.not entitled to all the privileges of a gentleman. bis Lordship, in: a cones pondence now before the public, explicitly and dis- tinctly " disavows all approbation and sanction of the g- r --~ - S ?, r- 171 e. Ilfaeua." Bat the hacks must tolerate all this, and meth More than this. They dare not rebehagainet those wirodole onV to them their disgraceful means of inbsistence.---And now that the whole . system has been exposed, we ven ture to predict that they will either have s GAG put into their months, or that they will be utterly abait domed by the verypersoni to whom they thaight to re commend the,uselces by their profligacy sad the excess of their scurrility —(The Scotsman.) .- . t ~:- • Attain' up on the terrace l ii mousy Sir _ _ hmrse. As the day advanced the bustle in crease:4 and a meeting_ was beldi!.thi! Town Ha . II, at . Whicifitit Address to his Majesty wanvores, and a re soldtion passed toreeomtnend, that the tdwu be illumi• nated in the evening, His Majesty's yacht arrived iu the forenoon, and was expected to reach the Pier in the course of the Ow noon. A boarded path .way had been erected from the Pier-House to where - the tide reaches good, and from whence his Majesty proposes to take the boat which will conireyiiiim to the Royal George. The Venus steam boat was engaged to carry his Majesty's carriages, and in case of a calm or an adverse wind. to take his Majesty on board, and convey him to Calais,' or any other port whiclican be most conveniently made, Between five and six o'clock, the time at which it was confidently stated his Ma jesty would reach Ramsgate, considerable disappoint ment was expressed, by the'coantenances as well as the observations of the crowd that had collected to wit ness the King's arrival. Nothing occurred to alkyl , ate the anxiety and lassitude of the disappointed throng, till the illumination commenced, about seven o'clock. Many honses were ornamented with rade- - gated lamps ; the Pier was lighted on both sides ; 1 and Sir William Ca: is's yacht was so splendidly illu minated, that, as a wag observed, like its jolly owner's •danntenance, it shone conspicuous above its rivals. 'the patience and good humour of the expecting crowd continued to be tried till after viola o'clock, when his Majesty passed through High-street and Queen-street, to the residence of Sir Wm. Curtis. The King was esearted by a party of the Lancers, who preceded, and of the Isle of Thanet Yeomanry Cavalry, who followed him. An accident occurred as the Royal carriage turned the sharp angle at the Market-place, by which one of the lamps was broken, and a gentleman knocked down. On inquiry, however, .it was stated that the gentleman sustained no serians injury. Some of the cavalry, it is understood were unhorsed, owing to the depth of sand in the streets, and the very great speed with which they were obliged to travel. Had his Majesty arrived before sun-set, a Royal salute would have been fired from the Pier; but, according to etiquette, under such circumstances, that tribute was delayed till next morning. The Earl of Liver pool was all day in attendance at Sir Wm. Curtis's, together with the Lord Chief Justice Dallas, Mr. Baron Garrow, Sir Win. Curtis, and other Gentlemen of the Deputation, who were in waiting to know when it would be the Itoyal pleasure to receive the address voted at the Town Hall. RespecOng the place at whichhis Majesty will land nnceriainty still prevails, and reports are at variance. One account states that his Majesty will proceed up the Scheid to Antwerp ; another that he w ill land at Calais. It Las been lately rumoured that the King is not expected to return until December. His medical attendants and other persons in his Majesty's suite, it is understood, entertain that opinion, and have niade ar rangements accordingly. The royal yacht, and the other veiiels composing his Majesty's escort, are all arrived. It is expected his Majesty would embark at ten o'clock yesterday morning. Deaf., SEPT. 2-1 —The royal squadron arrived in the Downs this morning from Portsmouth, and remain in readiness for his Majesty's embarkation, which it is colitidently.expected will'take place to-morrow morning at ltamsgate. Pilots have been sent on board of each of the ships composing the squadron from this place, but it is at present unknown whether his Majesty will proceed to Calais, Ostend, or Antwerp this will no doubt depend upon the state of the wind and weather. Should the weather prove favourable to-morrow, we ex pect to witness a very gay spectacle, as the Deal boat men will be afloat with their boats, and no doubt the as semblage of pleasure vessels from Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, &c., will be considerable. The Royal sqaudron consists of his Majesty's yacht the Royal George, Liffey, Active, Hind, Camecion, Lee, and several cutters and sinallers vessels. DOVER, SEPT. 24.—The Duke of Wellington and Mar quess of Londonderry arrived this morning from Wal mer-eastle, and embarked on board the King George packet for Calais: the guns from the heights battery tired a salute, and the people on the pier cheered his Grace and the Marquess on their leaving the port. - ITHIE STATIISMANg attacks on your character and &Moor, contaidid 1, hpitirs after trerodri \Os. 30, 31, 33; 34, and 33, or any •other 'Uuntatr of Win. Curtis's bonsi POLIIYCAL PREJUDICES. Those who are 'led into error, and plundered and abused in consequence, are frequently much more dis posed to quarrel with such as tell them the truth, than with those who deceive them to gratify the grossest self-interest. In the important concerns of politics and religion, bow perpetually have the people been duped, that they might be the .more easily betrayrd and the more safely plundered! Happily the great mass of the people in this country, after sore suffering I and woful experience, are becoming too well-informed; and begin to habituate themselves to the exercise of commonsense too much to be thus easily cheated into bscoming the instruments of their own undoing. Yet are there still many, and that, too, in the middle ranks of society, (where good sense and discretion are supposed to predominate) who are offended with you if you tell them their pockets are picked by any one but a needy thief in the street, or a robber on the road, whom prohably, distress has driven to despair; even though they feel perpetually the effects of having half their property or income taken from them to carry on wars, in which they e.tsr have no real interest, or to fill the poclots of strangers is the characters of Place men, Pensioners, and Sinecurists ! Thais, excepting those who live on or by the taxes, it is evidently the real interest of every one that taxation should be light : we all know and feel that taxation is ittor2i nately heavy in this country; but the Journalist who advocates the reduction of this taxation, by the simple and honourable expedient of reducing all official sala ries excepting the small ones, and all public pay, ex cepting half-pay, in proportion to the increase in the value of money in which they are now paid, compared with that in which they were heretofore discharged,— is called disaffected, is persecuted either openly or privately, and, if possible, silenced. If seeing that the farmer in 1799, when the public burdens did not press upon hitn with more than one fifth their present weight, then prospered and lived comparatively at his ease, a public Journalist recom mends as a remedy for his present distress, such a re duction of taxation as would enable him again to pros per and be at ease, does he deserve to be slashed by the yeoman's sabre ? Or, advocating low prices of the necessaries of life, so that the manufacturer may sell and the merchant export cheap, does lie merit the thanks or the frown of the manufacturer and mer chant ? Or if he wishes that his countrymen were comparatively as untaxed and untithed as people of other countrjes, with whom, as farmers, as manufac turers, and as merchants, they must come into compe 6:ion, is such a one to he hailed as the friend, .or to be branded as the enemy of his country ? " Poor England! thou art a devoted dear - " Beset with every Wm! or . riesn." " Thy rack'd inhabitants repine, complain, " Tax'd till the brow of labour sweats in vain ; " WAR lays a burthen on the reeling. State, " And PEACE does nothing to relieve the weight." Co%reit. THE. KING'S PROGRESS TO HIS PLACE OF E.IIII.IRKA77ON. His Majesty arrived at Rochester about four airlock on Monday afternoon, having previously changed horses at Dartford, where the I6th Dragoons attended. He was met on the road by the West Kent and the 566, the Sappers and Miners, and the Royal Ma riots, were in the city, attended by their bands, and formed a guard of honour. The King's carriage drew up at the Crown Inn, where the horses were changed. Flags were hung out at different stations, the bells were rung, and the Corporation were in attendance, but no address was presented. The people cheered as his Majesty passed, and his Majesty made his obei sance. On leaving Rochester, the West Kent Yeo ' manry fell into the rear of the carriage, and thus ac companied the King. While stopping opposite the Inn, his Majesty conversed with Sir A. Christie, but passed through the streets with the glasses of his car riage closed, so that most of those who had anxiously waited during the day, obtained a very imperfect view of his person. _ _ The horses of his Majesty's carriage were again changed at Sittingbourne ; and at the Rose Inn, where it stopt for that purpose, there was a •large flag hung across the road. In the front of the Inn there was drawn up a small party of Lancers, who constituted the guard of honour. At Canterbury, extensive preparations were made to give effect to the reception of his Majesty, on his entrance. By 12 o'clock the doorways and windows of almost every house in the long main street. were nearly literally' covered witiv.fresk an& lair oak boughs. The street was covered with new gravel. There were several colours suspended from different windows, as well as various banners, and on some of the latter were sundry inscriptions; and, by the same , hour, the East Kent Yeomanry (another division of the corps) under the command of Sir Edward Knatch bull, Bart., M.P., were in attendance, fully equipped. They soon afterwards proceeded along the road, to take up their stations, and thence marched to meet his Majesty on his approach. Tbey were accompanied by , various private gentlemen on horseback. The Cor poration were in attendance, soon after noon, but it was intimated to them that time would prevent his Ma. jesty from .receiving here, as well as elsewhere, the dutiful addresses of his loyal subjects. At Kamsgate, so early as seven o'clock in the morn ing, preparations were commenced for receiving the King in the most loyal manner. The whole of High •treet was gravelled over, and every house had boughs of laurel suspended from its windows. Triumphal arches, too, were erected, (but with reference to what, no one could tell,) through High-street and Queen street, and one also at St. Laereoce, a mile and a half from tows, by which his Majesty had to pass. Flags. also were waving in every, direction. About ten o'clock four companies of the 86th Regiment, under the com mand of Col. Johnstone, arrived from C hathSna, and a few 1. 11.1111'EST.--.II.IIIKETS. EXETER MARKET, SEPT. 21.—Wheat, 9s.to 10s. Gd.; Barley, 3s. to 4s. 6d.; Oats, 2s. to 2s. 9d. per bushel.

Jamaica papers arrived this morning to the 16th of August (by the mail) by which we have recei►ed the following account [FROM THR ROYAL OARRTTS, 11TH AUGUST.) By the &perinea, accounts were received from Panama to the 20th ult. respecting the contest in Peru. Intelligence it appears has been brought by the schooner Guadeloupe in ten days from Payta which we bear is of the utmost importance. The Chilian Commander San Martin, having left behind him a garrison of 900 invalids, embarked at Quacho with 4000 men, who were landed at the Cherillas, situate within two leagues of Lima. The Royalist army immediately attacked the troops of San Martin with great intrepidity, whom they routed with immense slaughter, upwards of 1600 of the Cbilian troops having been left dead in the field of battle. San Martin, with the remainder of, his corn favoured by the approach of night, fled with the utmost precipitation, and escaped on board the ves sels. When they embarked their destination Wag unknown. Now the cause of the Patriots ap pears 'to wear a very unfavourable aspect in that quarter, and, we trust, may be the means of reviving the trade of this city. The Governor of Truxillo is stated to have manifested a disposition to put himself on the defensive. A division of troops has been sent against him from Lima. The Captain of a British ship employed in the whale fishery which had touched at Payta shortly after the departure of the Guadeloupe, reported he had spoken a Spanish brig of war, in company with a ship of the line, and a fri gate of the same nation, directing their course to the port of Callao.
