THE sTA/ TS NLO tend to throw ■ sespicios upon those very friends, end cast a doubt upon their loyalty.--Are they not ewer, that such a step cannot fail again to separate the People from the King. the Nation from the Monarch, and If he loses the bulwark of their lose, on whom has he to rely in the hour of danger? On the courage of !hoes who ran away to Chem, the Doloeslils of the Nation! No, be knows their 1 cow•islice, he knows that wordsmen are not swords. men. and that great talkers do the least. Ile will not lean on such a broken reed ; on whom then can be rely People! Ile doubts their troth— he fears their suyiegdisagrepables—this geoid be an islleleer. We tremble eat at what oar friends and those we de good to, cats say ; no, it is only our enemies, those who have a right to complaie of es, that we have bee; to dread, and whose tongues we would wish to tie. Let his Majesty act as be did on • recent eaten. lion—let him prove himself as be did then, the Poo. ple's friend, and be may sleep in peace, be car have no enemy to bresk his slumber ; for as to the efforts of the Ultras, the host of national talent is these to crush deem, sod even the fallacy of all their rhap sodies, we therefore regard the restrictions on the Press, not only as enceostitetiosal, bet lightly im politic, and of ibis truth ere, a (Weight elapse, his Majesty will be coovincel." The disgusting . end tedious dlseession on Mr. Qotn's Parliamentary practices, has been of good effect to Mr. C. 11111 Imes character, which must twee , - sadly have been materially wounded by Mr. Quix's &it representation of the business, had it stood there. We are sorry and ashamed to see iu what manlier ill r. COULD (the leading Member of a Ciirnit in Ir.. land) comes out of the contest. A less Ilunuarable /loose might have proposed to commit hint to Nese:ale (whither many Bea for offences less injurious to the People's interest have been committed), rather their to the custody of the Serjeent-ai•Arms. He ought to be contented with things as they are. Oa leaking over the proceedings in the lloo•e of Commons of last night, the heart of the Patriot will be dismayed to see so much time taken up, so may ! swords and phrases thrown away, and in little prac- tical.geod effected. What hope of Reform in the Parliament can be totertained when we sae so many pains taken, not to remove the corruption or its i cause, bet to refine the operative poisna. These' debates, and more especially their tendency, remind ! us of • trading Justice from the Bomb addressing I three highwaymee, who had sallied forth one Saud., afternoon, and robbed almost every body they met between Highgate and Finchley ; but baring charged themselves silk spirituous liquor, as well as their I pistols with powder and ball, they let off their cou rage and their fire•arms without giving time to the stopped to pelt out their purser. Now, although they seceded two or three people, yet they were not sworn against, and the Worthy Magistrate ad inoeished them to do their work another time (for he acknowledged that they could not be hackneyed in it as yet) in a mere gentlemanly-way. That a high wayman mast sometimes he hanged when the evidence was positive and clear against him, but that the of fence was not of that heinous net ore that would urge a promoter to estremities, if not ill-used when robbed. The parties thanked his Worship : they would re member his wick,. We shall not probably hear these same nor similar corrupt tralficklogs very: often, bet we shall experience additional 'evils from them, no doubt, as Ion; as the House of Commons remains as it Is at present constituted. Last night Mr. W. WILLIAMS brought in his Bill to extend the Freeholders Qualifintion Oath to per- SIMS voting in right of small freeholds in Towns and Boroughs, and to amend the oath required by the 15 Gm 111. c. 84. It was read a first lime, and ordered to be printed. As we have already fully repressed our sentiments upon ,1 is measure, we Shell reserve what farther observations occur to es for a (•tore day. We do nor anticipate any opposition to the Bill. It will not alter or change, in the least degree, the right of voting in ■ny place, but merely impose an oath on persons tbst they are really and bona fide possessed of the requisite qualification so vote; and we are sere that no iodependeng or honour able man will object to it. The beuebts arising from it will be truly great. It will destroy that gross and impudewl fraud which has so long been practised nn the Law aud Cosstiletion of the country, we mesa the making occasional voters to serve the purposes of an F.lection, and restore the Elective Franchise to its legitimate owner ; for we cannot 'oppose that ■ny man, however well inclined to serve a Borough Pa tron, will subject himself to the infamy and penalties of perjury, though he would not have scrupled, by a PIOUS FRAUD, to deprive his neighbour of the best and most invaluable et the rights attached to bin as an Englishman. Mr. Quis's father, RICHARD QUI V, was created a Peer of Ireland hut little genre than Iwo pa rs qv, by the title of Viscount MOUNT.

Sta s —l cannot say that I had not heard of you, Journal till lately, bel I certainly had ant read it till the late Election commenced, when, to my great Car' prise (for I have resided in America the last twelve years of my life), I found is sentiments so cop vial with my own, that I cannot conclude my day's work done, till I base perused the Sr4rEsx4t. Allow mein say, that I like the plainness,and what we should call it on the other side the Atlantic, the downrightness of your Correspondent Joins Byt.h; I wish with all my heart, that the Minister+, with the Doke of 'root at their head, were obliged to read every one of his letters. Bet, Mr. STATAim•N, my reason for troubling you with this now is It, pay a compliment (do'nt be angry nor surprised), to a compliment to your Ministers, for an art nr run. nine surpassing that of any minn on the earth its si milar situations. Finding themselves suddenly thrown into a "eel rice," by the Isi.h tone sod man ter of America ; and the new petition of France by the probability of its King placing himself at the heed of the Itevolotiordsis of that estensive and pit pelous kingdom ; they cause one of their 'winters to move for certain Papers with respect to the con dition of the Navy : all acquiesce its the motion, end take the opportunity of paying thw mall at the luoul of it an oulogionrs, that will tecore bis place for a time, let what will happen. The business of Noodle bring thus door, he is equally prepared to take up that of Doodle, and in this way the country is 1 doodled upon all like occasions ; for, as to twenty thousand rtlectirr seamtn being ill the British service, I submit to be hanged at Or yard-arm of one of the first rate man of war, If the First leHrl of the Ailonialty can muter one huller that number able-bodied. It required nn less than the face of s" II agar DUNIS IS" himself to set forth such an assertion ; bat it is done to bernbortale the People ioto an acquiescence with their bersieos in time of peace; slid, by-Site-by, it is no less an atiosirshle trick in a TIN after making a fortune by a " whit wan ts me " seesikte, to bury his odious unpopularity wader the hohictl title of 11ELTILLE.--1.0111.A.

An article from ‘litteutherg hope that the •pproaching Meeting ..f the States of that kingdom, will lead in a favnerable resell for the Rights of the People. In consequence of the King baying memo riged free discussion, numerous political I publications haee issued firm the Press, whicb have enlighten'sl all ranks with regard to the true intmests of the country. A '►cent intrance is mentioned, lei the Itssorsor of his Majesty, of his haring personally suppressed a fresh ebullition of military despotisos.l • The Editor of the New Midgard Gtn:lic, Caplan Levin/to, bud repressed himself with much five.! don' and energy respecting the military system in metal. This incensed many individuals in the army, and •s several Generals took the lead a : party was soon formes!. In en Address to the King they demanded tan less than a Censorship for the Journals ; at least with respect to articles concern.' ing the military ; Itemise it was b►tter to insult any class than that which th►s► Gentlemen represetstal I. he the support of the Throne, and peculiarly •NI of its !wooer. They also ticsmastied the. thss Editor of the New Slut:aril Gazelle should he de. priced of his 'auk •s Captain. To this the King re -1 plied, that io his kingdom Liberty of the Pleas was established ; 'bat if remarks were mode upon any I class of persons in the State, they must, if they wet.. I false, hare the coursize to overlook or to despise them ; and if they were true, have the justice In !stn. fit by tipta. But Isis Tribune's took CPO olivine. of the defamation of individuals. This truly Royal answer, disarmed the enemies of the Liberty of the Press. Letters from Port.so.Prince, dated the latter end of January, pate, that in coosequence of the (plai ce! which bad taken place in the South between G eo . Fit Annul and MARION, the President hail determined himself to visit Aux-Cayes to check the dis.oll,ion in the bed, there having hue', more than nue attempt to separate the South from the %Vest. The continued rains had rend.red the roasts and tires nearly im passable, but he ided in reaching, that place, and restoring tranquillity. lie was absent from Port. ao.Prince ten months , and out his Mutt, he was greeted with a general a n d th e m e , chants proceeded in a body to offer their congratu lations. His Escellency's firmness and justice are every day strengthening F.is Goveratnt•nt and anemia. jug the confidence of the People. Nothing more is heard of Citnisroeues intended attack,and if it does not anon take place, it is orpactod that he will be obliged to act on the defensi►e.
