THE a d %t ippet, they would have proved, upon this oe mieo, like the sues-bid shield of Aehilies, 64 they net been opposed by talents. super-ministerial. Their ,a c mes, although frustrated, were, however. worthy o f themselves and of their patrons. If they hat; suc ceeded in persuading the Lord Mayor (who is not one of the inspired) to aster Sldmon:h to aid him with the presence of the military, on the 29th November, they n ight have created a riot. and a massacre tr-lis•Matt.i C hester; or, if they could not produce a riot, they slight have alleged. witbodt the possibility of being „d a ted, that it was by the presence of the military that the pear* had been preserved : and, if they could have prevailed epos her Majesty, according to their tern modest endeavour, to have staid away on the 29th, and a riot bad in consequence ensued, they wo uld hare been equally ready to t, that, if her Majesty lad come, matters would have been worse. B a t her Majesty did come, and the military staid mra r : and yet the peace of the city was preserved. The reason is obvious. The enemies of the Queen, and the Adherents of the administratiomn ho were alone inhere .ted in breaking the peace, were too few in num int to dare, where they were not supported by the b arone t, openly to display their malignity. These are some of the pious frauds of those worthy ger ,thosen,of which many are now in the course of being pl lyed off on the public, in the vain hope of rescueing thenistlves from their present pitiable condition. It ii one oldie leading doctrines of these our eminent misters of modern wisdom, that the complaints (the disiffection) of the people, are not produced by their ca l a mities, but their calamities by their complaints. Another of these doctrines, to which I may lidera in k, that the complaints, as well as the cala mities of the people, are produced or aggravated by the Tabours of the venal part of the press, which pays cmrt to the people, whilst they are to be alone ar rested or sabdoeil, by the inalepersdrot part of the wefts in the pay of the Administration, together with a certain number of salutary measures of coercion. Another favourite doctrine is, that the Queen and her friends are the sole causes of all the public distresses ; and that the Administration and their adherents, vir tuous souls, are as innocent of them as the babes uti hire. But the Queen was not to he thus deluded. Linz a woman not deficient in discrimination, and YKYCE OF STOCK/I il hir DAT AT OMR O'CLOCK Bask BtoaL a 6 per Cast. . per Celli. Rad.

The Funds since the shutting of the Consols on Tuesday, have been gradually rising without any particular cause, except the plentifulness of money. Consols were yesterday 701 fur the Account the whole of the day, and this morn ing 704 i, which is now about the prier, the market looking very steady. The remainder of the primite failures have been posted in conspicuous places in the market. We have this morning roseivei a Ale of French papers to the 4th inst.

It is reported that Lord MAistitanuni, the cele brated diplomatist, is dead.—Gazette de Frazer. The Manifesto, containing the grand resolutions adopted at Troppau, is anxiously looked fur at Paris. oSserring the effects which the Coun:ils of Ministers thcir partisans have had upon the affairs of the Ration, ahe, no doubt, considered, that, if this state of th:qrs was the result of absolute wisdom, it must hive been mingled with a great deal of absolute mis fortune; and did not think it necessary, from civility, is fo;lqw advice, which might speedily have the effect of bringing her own affairs into a similar flourishing condition. The delusion, indeed, is all on the other side, where there may be said to be nothing but delusion. Amongst the means resorted to, in order to maintain and strengthen the existing infatuation, great pains, I andarstand, have been taken to persuade the Kies, that the immense multitudes assembled to do homage to her Majesty, on Wednesday last, on her way to and tans St. Paul'., were a mere rabble. Not only nothing more tnlse, bet nothing more diametrically opposite to the trusts has ever been uttered. To those who have the monstrous impudence, as well as insolence, to deal in such assertions.' wimbi any, es Ferdinand Yleades Maio was but a type of thee, thou liar of the first magnitude." ',I here never was, I will venture to say, in any age, or nation, an assembly at once so nume rous and so respectable. Front my own observation, as well as from that Bother spectators, not Ministe rial, and who hare no motive to lie, I am persuaded that nineteen twentieths of the half million of persons who were probably assembled in the line of the pro- cession. consisted of the sound body of the virtuous English nation, whilst not more than one-twentieth could have been composed of the scum and dregs. 1 have been present at Lord Nelson's funeral, and at 'other public processions, in this country. I have witnessed Buonaparte's grand religions procession, which the wits of Paris stigmatized by the designa• tion of "Capucinade," when he first, unhappily for him, conceived the idea of being a legitimate. But any thing like the procession in honor of the triumph of Quern Caroline, I hare never seen, and I never ex pect to see, if I should live fifty years, unless it should be to protect her Majesty, if that should be necessary, from fnrth r persecution. Waving for the present, all comments en the absurd attempts at Cabinet making, of which we Lear daily rammer, and wishing our actual state-undertakers nd greater punishment than that they may be doomed to finish their career in office, (since it is not likely that any persons can be found desperate enough, without a radical change of system, to take their placesoff their hands) I shall conclude this letter with a friendly hint fur the guidance of their future views against her Majesty. It appears to me that nothing short of supernatural faculties can account for her Majesty's daring to encounter, but still more fur her baffling, the unprecedented array of power, which has been brought to hear against her in the course of the recent proceedings ; and that, therefore, she ought to be treated as a wirch. It is most certain that she has be-devilled the MiAisters, and bewitched the nation. A wig' for witchcraft, and the appropriate punish ment of yarning alive, would be fit sequels to the Bill of Pains and Penalties: and the failure of all proof if an adulterous intercourse with Bergand, is no 'earls why the persecutors of the Queen should despair of bring able, by witnesses still more infernal, t show that her Majesty must have had intercoerse with the devil. Sentence being pronounced, there would be no want of inquisitors in this civilised age, to direct this apt. daft. The difficulty would be, frons amongst numbers, to make the selection. A gallant Admiral might think it a distinguished honour to apply the snatch. ARISTIDES.

It is even certain that had not the Due Is Berry been murdered, the Oorernment would have been obliged to temporise mach longer. One of the meet difficult points was, the army, which however showed itself during the last session more royalist tbaa it was es pee tell to be. A great number of the officers who served's , der Bonaparte have bees accustomed to have an other' opinion than that of their master, and it is of little im portance to them whether they wear a white or IH-co loured cockade, provided they are paid. Besides there is a severe eopeissage is the teginseate; and this. who still possess amen ideas of liberalism are soon knows, and their places given to others who served so Assembly in the Chooses, or in foreign armies; so, tint is • short time, the army will be entirely in the hands of the Royalists per e.ereilmee. The NM..: bad placed some hope in the hatred that exists between the old and new Nobility ; the latter being looked upon by tbe former 1 with the greatest worn and disdain; but they have been disappointed. The vanity of the French for titles is such, that there is no hu miliation, no contempt, they will not heir with the greatest ease, provided they are called Monsieur Le Comple, Monsieur Le Cheralier. It is even remarked, that the number of the libreer.r is considerably di minished, and it is not to be wondered at ; many were libcrace per cireososser, and they follow, admira bly, the rumple of tbe es-liberal Simeon, who confessed so candidly in the Chamber, that he had changed his opinion '.!" The KING of PRellll% has declared his intention of not recognizing the new Government of Portugal. Recent intelligence from Portugal, (says The Ca sette dc Fraser) announces that the Constitution alists of that kingdom have experienced a cheek. The military movement at Lisbon, on the 11th, was suppressed entirely by the energy of the citizens. The officers of the army have themselves signed There have arrived this morning fresh files of a Protest, declaring all military intervention, American papers to the II th of November; from in the affairs of the Government illegal.

With respect to the affairs of Naples, it is pretended that a war may be avoided, if the Sup.rioe Autho rities of the Kingdom of Naples will consent to certain bases essential to their 'Ware organisation. The demand has already been made to them. MADRID, Nov. 20.—The KING is still at the Es curial. A Proclamation has been published, exhort ing the people to preserve tranquillity, and declaring it to be the Kamo's intention to repair to Madrid on the 21st. Notwithstanding Lie Decree of the Cortes, suppressing patriotic societies, several have been formed, and discourses are frequently delivered at them in favour of the Canstitution. Count 511111 AN DA, the Kino's Coefitaser, has received orders to discon tinue his intercourse with the Kszo. This step was effected at the instance of the Ministry. It has been officially announced that MORALRS and his companions have bee. arrested on the confines of Portugal. The Portuguese troops conducted him and a Captain to Almeida. The Decree respecting the organisation of the Spanish Army, has received the Royal assent. Hneesexs, Nov. 27,--.-Letters from the Spanish frontiers represent the troltirlee in Talentia,in a mere serious light than the Spanish Journals have an nounced.

MARGAILITTA, OCT. 1.--The affairs of the Patriots on the Main continue to present a favour able aspect. and the campaign seems to be approach log to a crisis. I understand that General Bouvan has directed the Provisional Government at Angos tura to repair to Cucuta. which induces the idea that he considers the country around Cucuta to be com pletely exempt from Spanish influence. The defection among Illoatu.o's Creole troops increases. A Gene ral and his entire division has gone over to the Pa triots.

Resolved, as the opinion of this Convention, theta system of Commercial restrictions is unfavourable to in dustry, aod that sound policy dictates the least practica ble restraint upon individual enterprise and exertion. S. Resolved, That the greatest possible revenue, re quired by the national interests. should be collected from commerce, on account of the ease, economy, and natality of its milection; bet that this cannot be effected bet by the imposition of such a rate of duties as will Dot be a restraint epos importations, nor furnish an inducement to smuggling. 3.

WILLIAM SAYAN!), President of the Convention. JoHN VAUGHAN, Secretor,. the proceedings of the Westminster Meeting yes . - terday will be read with interest. Though the wea ther was unfavourable for a numerous assetnislage in the open air, it did not damp the ardour of the friends of the Queem and of their country. The presence of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT on the occasion, after such a tedious detention from puhlic bnsioess by indisposition, diffused the warmest joy moong his admiring constituents; and the; just and liberal feelings he so energetically exp d were well calculated to excite additional animation. The speiches of Mr. HODROURE and of Mr. 0. Eraser kept up the tone of public sentiment, and will be read with high satisfaction. Compared with these, how fiat, stale, and inefficient, the efforts of the enemies of the people ! Let the venal journals of the Ministers call, as they do to-day, upon the corporate bodies to follow the honourable example of the sapient Court of Aldermen! In the present strong and noble state of public feeling, all the arts of corruption will be unavailing, if Englaad to herself be true. Well might Sir Phone's Beattarr say, in reference to that spirit which has been, and whici coo -1 tinues to be displayed, that he ever woald he proud of being one of the people of England. The variety and importanceof the several articles which 611 our columns to day, allow hut little room for comment. Among others which from their obvious interest will obtain attention, we cannot avoid referring to that rela ting to the Court. The first Lord of the Treasury, and the President of the Council are not in the list of the noble personages who yesterday paid their respects to his Majesty. The fact is, that the Earl of Lsveneoot. is now at Walser antis (on his journey to which, by the bye, he was very shansefally treated by some of the po i palace at Caatorkury). Mr. Criantso, it appears, has proceeded thithet to join his Lordship. Our readers, will, of coarse, remember what we have already stated, respecting these distinguished personages, sod will be prepared to attach some credit to a rumour which pre vails that a certain Marquis is not unlikely to become the successor of the fennel..
