REGAL/.4 3.1C114..r'! TO THE EDITOR OF TILE STATESM4X. Among the Coronation Regalia, deseribed in yester day's SrarrsmaN, is the Ampulla or Widen taglet, which contains C.?, oil with which the King is anointed. In France, before the revolution, they had theSaialeilaspu ,, le or I hily Cruet, which came from hea ven, according to the lezends of the. einrch. The following account of this precious vessel may sot be uninteresting at the present moment. It is translated from Salgurs' amusing work, De• Erteurs tt let PreYNKr.la repandwi daea la Silt if a..—PAri .4, I !.4 ID. 1 hardly know any history of France where mention is not made of the Sainte-Ampoule. Be fore the Revolution, the order of St. Rani de Reims preserved it with the greatest care; it was taken front their treasury at the Coronation of our Kings, but four llosta;es, chosen from among the Nobles of the highest rank at Court, were previously re quired for it. The yitl.rar and children were persnatkd that the oil of the Sainte Ampoule rose or fell, like a II ter, according as our kings were !tick or well. When the abridgment of the history of France, by the Abbe Rs gois, is put into the hands of a child, he does not fail quickly to learn that the Sainte-Ampoule cause down from heaven at the baptism of King Cloth; that it was hrought by a dove it hirer than snow, and was placed at Saint Remi to be thenceforth used at the coronation of our monarchs. ' The first who mentions this miracle is Ilinentar,arch bishop of Helms. " The clerk who carried the holy unction, says he, being unable to approach for the crowd. the holy bishop, Remi, lifted up his eyes to heaven, and implored the divine pity; immediately there appeared a dote whiter than snow, bearing in his beak the Sainte- Ampoule, full of holy oil. of an otiose sa exquisite sad sweet that the whole astn.nobly wag perfumed ily it." • stinietn, W11:1 NMI in the ninth century. pepsins i h r same prodigy. but be adds, that it was the Holy S; irit in oerson that came in the form of a dove, that an embassy of such importance might not be entrusted to a common pigeon. The author of the life of St. Clotilde, posterior to .timoin, outdoes his predecessors ; hr i 14.11 res us that the dove brought tw o vials, one for the King and the c.Acrfur tA. Qacen. ' le Breton, n Monk of St. Denis, and pre ceptor to one of the natural sons of Philip Augusts's, recounts the story rather differently. Ile maintains that it Wag not the crowd that hindered the approach of the clerk charged with the holy unction, but tlsat it was the devil who maliciously broke his bottle, with the intention of retarding the ceremony, or by making the king damn himself by some act of impa tience. The Ablie d e Vertot, who has published a long dissertation on the .Sainte-Ampoule, pretends that nobody ran deny this miracle ; and the reason that he gives is, that it rests on long tradition, which, alone, is worth all the testimonies of historians; that it is mentioned in the office of Coronation of our Kings ; and fina!ly, that such a prodigy is most bonoltrable for the throne of France, and that we ouzlit to flatter oarselres greatly at being governed by Princes, who are the Lord's immediate anointed. ' But it is replied to the Abbe, that it is not enough that a miracle should be honourable; it is fit that it should also be reasonable. That of the Sainte-Am poule violates all the laws of reason, since to admit it, we must suppose that there are in heaven olive tre-s, pigeons, glass-blowers, and an elaboratory for the pre paration of perfumes. lie is told, also, that contem porary historians say nothing of this miracle; that liregory of Tours, the greatest reporter of peedigies, does not say a word of it ; that St. %esti, and :trims, Bishop Of Vienna, in their letters to Clovis on his baptism, preserve the most profound silence on the subject; that the Archbishop Hincmar, who first mentioned it, lived 350 years after Clovis; and that, besides, he was but a compiler of romantic tales, worthy of Cinderella and Little Poucet ; that he re ports serious!y that a brilliant light descended into the church of Reims on the eve of the baptism of Clovis; that it collected during the night upon the head of St. Remi, so that he resembled a walking illu mination, which lighted up the Church and Convent better than a thousand tapers. He recounts also that St. Kcini gave to Clovis, a flaggon of pare and gene rous wine, which could never be exhausted, and which ruse or fell as the King was to lose or win in battle. Clovis, who carried it with him every where, regaled his a hole Court and Army wish it, and yet the fleggon was always full; there was nothing want ing but the five loaves and two small fishes to make a complete repast. These idle tales diminish very much the faith due to Ilincmar. But it is possible, without any miracle, that a dove may have brought the Sainte-Ampoule. We know that the ancients trained pigeons to carry their letters, and it was not more ditheult Li make them carry a little vial. These pious fraids wereco.o mon enough in former times, and, as they served the ends of religion, there was seldotn any sernple to em ploy them. When Name wished to give his laws to the Romani, be caused them to be dictated by the nymph Egeria : the Priests, hislconlidatits, making a 'bidd descend from heaven. Mahomet had also his ; dune that whispered in confidence in his ear ; Socrates his familiar genial ; and St. Paul. the Hermit, big crow. which brought him every morning a little loaf for his breakfast. The vulgar anti the ignorant have always been the privy purse of the crafty.' London, Jul! 18. W. 0. TO THE EDITOR OF 771 E STATES.WAX. Manchester, July 10, 1011. The preparations for celebrating the approaching Coronation in this town and neighbourhood, have re sin-6M all those angry feelings which the working classes of people have entertained towards the ultra loval authorities of this part of the country for some years past, hut particularly since the fatal 16th of August. For the last few months the spirit of reform has appeared to be as it were in a state of abeyance ; which has caused many, who so hoped, to believe that the pertial prosperity of the spinner and weaver bad eradicated Radicalism, and that witb full bellies, the " good old times" would return, and that, the people would readily partake of their beef and beer, and again become a drut.ken, beastly, ferocious and loyal, Church anal King Moh. Although in so papnlons a place, it is not to be ex pected but that very many persons will be so circum stanced, as it regard% their business and employment, as nut to dare to refuse joining in the loyal proces sion, and as there always will hr out of 160,000 peo ple a great many ignorant ruffians, who will be ready, for the sake of a holiday, and " a good fuddle," to join in any riot which the friends of " Social order" may think proper to set on foot ; yet, from the spirit recently manifested at various meetings by the great 'mass of the people, the intended procession in this and ithe iteightantring towns, will be comparatively slen der in number, anal beggarly in appearance. In Manchester it was determined at a Town'a Meet ing to raise a sum of money, by coloutary contribution, to treat the working classes with beef and ale on the Coronation day ; and it has since been agreed to give away 20 oxen. 61) sheep, and .500 barrels of ale ; but the loyalists finding that the voloutary contribution' came its but slowly, went about front house to house, with a book in their hands to collect subscriptions. — The rancorous anal persecuting spirit which has always animated the Ultras of this town, is too well known to all the tradespeople, and the kink which these loyal collectors of vo!austa-y contributions held in their hands, might also serve as a black book to note down a etditioas Radical, who ought not to be employed or dealt with, any man who might refuse to give hand somely: by these means a large 'am of money has been extorted from the housekeepers, to be spent in making the ignorant poor, beastly drunk, as the best mode of showing their loya:ty to the King, and their love of " Social Order." The general voice of the great mass of tl►e people here, is clearly and decidedly against a Coronation at all, under the present circumstances of the natiati ; and especially as the Queen is to be ex cluded from the ceremony, and if possible, thereby dis graced. Last week a meeting► of the journeymen curd waioere of the town was called, to consider of the propriety of their joining the procession in a body; one.. I; we, unanimously resolved to decline attending, becauts., to do so, would appear tosanction the conduct of 31inistere: because of the Six Acts, which had de ptived them of their birthright, and that they were determined not to assemble again publicly, till the outrage on the Itith of August was enquired into and justice attune; because the noted Manchester Yeo manry Cavalry, were to fora► part of the procession; anal, lastly, because, of the ill-treatment of the Quern, and her exclusion front her right of being crowned with the King. This meeting wag followed on Tuesday, by one of the Fustian Cutters, who unenintously declined at tending for the same reasons, anal who came to some resolutions so warm, that no printer in the town has dared to print them. The Weavers met on Wednesday, and on Thursday, an immense body of the females of Manchester met publicly also, anal in both instan.•es resolutions were passed, deprecating the intruded ('o ronation and procession, in terms, and for IV/WIN! aimilar to those of the hoot and shoemakers. Every! exertion anal trick is resorted to, in order to lengthen I atad swell the appearance of the procession; all the trades are solicited to be present in distinct bodies.— ' Six mail-roarhea are to attend, and all the children oil the different charity and Sunday schools that can be prevaiied on to be present. The Union Rooms Lancaaterian Schools. amounting to 24:110 children, have alto g ether declined, anal many others, particularly those belonging to the Dissenters, will muster but very weakly. In the National Sunday School for adult females, consisting of lOU, only 21) have been induced to sign their names as willing to attend, all the rest declining. and giving as their prin cipal reason, the ill-treatment of the Queen. I understand that, up to the middle of Saturday last, out of several thousand journeymen shoemakers, only three individuals hall agreed to attend; and out of at least 30.00 U weavers, only 17 persons had signed the list as willing to be present. I flu not learn that one fustian cutter, (a trade the next ottuerons to the wearers) has agreed to go. In Bolton, a meeting of the weavers anal working people generally, was held last Thursday; when it was resolved nut to join in the noted Col. Fletcher's Orange Pio:es-ion, fur the same reasons prin cipally as given by the shoemakers of Manchester; and a placard was ordered to be printed by authority of the Union Reform Committee, requesting all real dimpoerd persons to keep their wives, children, and servants at home on that day. Scores of the timid loyalists are quitting the town for that day, as almost every one expects disturbance and riot ; the loyal men will be all drunk, and of course quari-elsome, though many that shout " save the King" in the morning, when sober, and with their masters near them, will shout more vehemently, when drunk at night, " Hunt for ever." One thing seems pretty certain, that if any disturbance does take place, the drunken loyalists will begin it, and then, as there are so few military here, and they probably will be drunk too, the Church anal King mob, will be " soundly thrashed" as General Lynn says ; fur they will be outnumbered, as lOU to 1, by sober, though ir ritated Reformers: indeed many, Radicals have vowed that if the Yeomanry offer any insult to the people. they will be pr.•pared at "one fell swoop" to avenge all their wrongs. I hope, however, that we shall get through the silly ceremony without bloodshed, bat the old inhabitants who know the people well, fear other wise.

LONDON: WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 18,1821. In addition to the " Argument" of her MAJESTY'S Counsel in suppers of the Quers's right to be crowned, there is now published " her MAJESTY'S Protest against the decision of the Privy Council" on her claim. The length of the •• Argument" and the copious r•- port we had previously given of the speeches of Mr. Bnorottsat and Mr. DENMAN in the point in question, rendered it inexpedient for us to insert the former a:. title : the " Protest" we give at length, as a docu. anent to be preserved ; and the style in which it is written precludes the necessity of comment. Relative to the other claim her MAJESTY has advanced since the derision of the Privy Council, we have this day to add the letter front the Acting EtRL MARSHAL to Lord Moo, her MAJF.STV'P Chamberlain, which our readers will find in another of our columns. By this it will appear that the Acting Etat. MASSES', having thought it incumbent on him to lay the letter of Lord Hoots before the Secretary of State fur the Home De partment, received an answer fr in Lord Stemorro stating, that he also had received an intimation from the Queem of her Maass - yes intention and demand as to the ceremony of the 19th, and that he had been commanded by the Kim; to acquaint her MaJesrv, that it was not his MA.H.:trre* pleasure to comply with the application contained in her MA• Jeirrea letter. Under these circumstance the Souk Mangum. stated the impossibility of his having the honour of obeying her MAJESTY'S command; and at this point the official correspondence rests. Based, however, as the Qi•Eex may be in formal applications, another mode remains ; and that her MAJESTY appears to be resolved to try. By her Pretest, she implies that she still retains the consciousness of all her rights; nd front the spirit she eviuces in asserting them, it is inferred that she will, to-morrow, apply in person at the cl.•or of Westminster Abbey, and, as she had inti mated, demand admission. In this belief, it is tinder stood in the blinimerial circles, that final orders hare been issued, that should her MAJEsri present herself, she is to experience no obstruction; and that free ad. mission will be granted to her immediate atteodants as well as herself; hut that no followers will, on any account, he permitted to pass the barrier. The lat ter intimation has arisen from a notion is hich was groundlessly and injudiciously circidated 011 Satur day, that a Committee teas forming to arrange an escort similar to that which accompanied her MAJ LA I Y 'to St. Paul's. No such est ort, n e early took occasion to state, had ever been contemplated ; and it is highly seressary that such an ilea, and eve y other which has a tendency to excite alarm, should be scouted, iu order • • . • •
