TUE STATI tur 4itate a new attack on the honour of the Queen Tb, sr -pectslations insist he founded un the hope that the pu blic sentiment, so loudly and universally expressed, it at I le he wesriesi and exhausted, and that the Q ue en rself will no longer have patience to resist such cruel and endless persecutions. But her Majesty 1 „tees it to the British nation to declare, that she has the' :iraiest reliance on their support as long as she is the %Oho of oppression; and to herself she deems it due to add, that no harassing conduct on the part of the King ' s Ministers will ever shake the duty she owes to this generous people. She has also the strongest con viction that the King's highest interests are at the ' , r epent moment as snarls betrayed as those of the State, br the evil roensellors who are now once more plotting 11 . er &strut ;ion. To the offer of money with which Lord Liverpool has thossOlt proper to accompany his notice of the intended prorogation of Parliament, her Majesty has no answer to : jet hot a direct refusal. Neatly ten months have elapses! since his late Majesty's death, and no Parliamentary pro sision has been yet proposed for her. As long as the Bill was pending the Queen saw the propriety of accept ing the advances made for her accommodation ; hut she w ill not accept as a favour from the Ministers what a due rent , for the honour of the Crown would induce Par liament to grant as a right; and she is still mote averse to impose upon the people the unnecessary burden of f a sting a palace fur her, when the national munificence has already provided royal residences for all the Prin - moms selsoiltl her exatteti statism. The Queen expressly commands me to add, that her m a i.ste, as well as the Wog and the country, have rea per, deeply to regret that the persons who have involved an those parties in their present unhappy difficulties shnitld still have influence to prevent that adjustment of thtfetences whirls the Queen regards as essential to their annton interests. tier Majesty has a &mist that the King, if left to the guidance of his own t ,,,!.:.11 judgment and honorable feelings, would at once }: , ten to the Queen's claims upon his justice, and to the ti,,i;eri prayers of his loyal people.

The Funds have experienchil a rise this morning in ts-morrow. Consols were done as low as 69 on Satur day, and this morning hare been dour at 695. Great apprehensions are entertained that the failures, already so numerous, have net yet ceased ; and that to-morrow will be a trying day to many speculators. We hare just time to announce another heavy failure (being the ninth) has been declared. The differences are said to ann•unt to 30,000/. mud upwards. It is strongly rumoured that a change in Adminis tration is finally determined upon and arranged. The genius of Lord CASILUZAGH has triumphed OM his asure moderate CoHearses.

The Coninfittee of Gentlemen formed at the Free masons' Tavern, fur the purpose of arranging the pro ceision that will accompany her MSJLITY to St. Paul's ua Wedoesday next, have met this morning, and recom mended that those Societies who intend to be in the line of procession, form themselves in ranks on each side the way west of Temple-bar, and to deploy wait tra:d as they arrive on the ground.

WILSON, ltl, Regent Street. November 27, IS2O. To the Gentlemen composing the Comasiftoe tor the conduct or the procession on In* Vg?b November, Freemasons' Tomo. The servile Fart of the press has been labouring Lard to induce Ministers to put a stop to the proces. siors, with Sags. banners, and missies by wising those toibletus, and prosecuting the parties. No doubt the sapient geollenten, who write for these papers, belie.* that the tarrying of daps and banners, end the playing of mimic, are illegal practices; and no doubt need be entertained that these friends of freedom will be venoi ;t being told that they an all perfectly lawful. Tbi ilk 4 clause of the late Aet tojsrevent seditious 4 eetioll, 60 (i. 111. c. 6, passed is Deassaber last, is as follows ; 11 And be it further enacted, Otat it shall s.of loath! fire sag person to ottensle'proeeed t., Or Warn frees say meeting whatever which shall be stoLvax FOR Tee PCUPOSE, or under the pretext of DELI IBBRATING upon, Of proceeding to deliberate upon any public grievance, or upon any matter or thing, relating to any trade, manufacture, business, or profession, or upon any matter in church or state, or of coxstocu- PRoPOSINO, Of Atilt/MN° to any petition, com plaint, remonstrance, resolut . , or address, on the subject thereof, with any FLAG, aA7lNaa, ENetION, or displaying or exhibiting any Dtv ler, BAIN!, or EMILIE'S, or with any Darn, or Military or other MEM, or in MILITANT ASNAT or minas," fitc., order penalty of " two years imprisonment." The Act says, no one shall go to or from, or attend at, any meeting, to CONSIDZ.., &c. with flags, &c. but it does not say that no man shall go with CLAUS, &e. to present an Address, or to attend the person of the QEECN, or for any purpose save and except only those named in the Act. Nothing is forbidden but what is specifically named in the Aet, and any thing which might have bee. lawfully. dew before she passing of the Act, and not specifically forbidden by the Act may still be lawfully done, the same as if the Act had not been pased. Is is a criminal Art, and must be construed strictly. Processions with Flags, Music, tee. are still lawful, and the people may yet march in order, or as the Act calls it, in military array. The people may also assemble with Flags, ice. to attend the QUICIN on Wednesday, and we expect to see them in no small numbers with their Flags and Banners, paying their dutiful re.pects to their meg n.tnimous Wags, whatever others way thitM,.say, or do. We have good reasons for stating, that, up to this storming, nothing definitive in the way of arrange ment with the Dean and Chapter a St. Paul's, re garding her MAJCITT'S intended visit un Wednesday next, had taken place. The Ambassador of these Clerical IVorthies, expressed hitnaelf much alarmed at the Negociation getting into the Public Press. We can assure him, the Public judging by the known con duct of the gentlemen he represented, will nut be surprised at anything they may do. The Brussels papers which arrived last night con tain some communications from Vienna respecting con tinental affairs. It is not pretended that the precise determinations of the Allied Powers. as settled in the Congress at Troppau, are yet known.

The immediate co-operation of England In this nefarious scheme Is not anticipateJ. The English fleet in the Liulph of Naples is stationed there for observation, and for the purpose of protecting the Royal Family in case of need. By the latest accounts, in a direct channel from Spain, it appears that a miserable attempt at counter revolution was made at Talavera on the 31st ult. The plan, which had some appearance of being extensive, was luckily disconcerted and fully revealed. Extract of a letter from Lisbon of the 13th October. " The packet was detained in conseartence of some dif ferences which have arisen among the Sternberg of the Supreme Government. These differences canard a great sensation here, the manifesto convoking the Cortes was issued ; but this document did sot meet the wishes of persons comprising our present liovernment. The day before yesterday furnished a scene 1 never witnested before. All the troops were drawn out, and the mill i Ivry placed in various parts of the city the whole of the day ; but it is certain that a discontent and want of confidence exists. Ihe military began the Revolution, and are determined to maintain it awhile in their way. Hitherto every thing is quiet, and the general opinion is, that all will go quiet; but for my part 1 apprehend that some unhappy occurrence will still take plate, as many of the Government party are complete adven turers, seeking for power." TM Lisbon Mail brings intelligence of the Spanish Constitution having been adopted in Portugal, subject to each modifications at the meeting of the Cortes as may be deemed expedient. A violent expulsion of six Members of the Provisional Junta was attempted. by part of the military, who failed in their object. The Paris papers which have arrived, contain in telligence of a similar nature to that received by other mails. A Nnremburg article of the 15th, mentions a report of an insurrection having taken place at Con stantinople. The report has not obtained much belie/. A resolution has been adopted by the Nea politan Government, to march an army beyond the frontiers, in case of any hostile preparations on the part of the Government of Rome.

OP THE PAAPM OP ST. JAMES. A meeting of the inhabitants of this parish is now being held at the Pulteney Assembly-rooms, Brewer street, to consider the propriety of art Address of con gtatnlation to her Majesty, and also of an Address to the King. At half-past one o'clock, .1. W. Barber Bennett:int, Esq., took the Chair, and opened the busi ness of the meeting. Their ivOrthy Representative, Mr. Hosnots► was present, .zinl letters had been received from Messrs. Byng and Whitbread, explanatory of their absence. Sir Fraecis Burdett had also been written to, a 3.1 invited to Inert his Constituents upon the o:casion, hot he had reason to believe that the letter had not been received by the worthy Baronet, sufficiently early to allow of an answer. Mr. Hoblionse here oh observed, that he knew it was the most earnest wish of Sir Francis Borden to meet his constituents upon the question which had now assembled them, as early as possible. He trusted that time would not be far dis tant. The worthy Barouet was now sufficiently recovered to be able to ride, but he was not yet equal w the exer tion of walking.—(Loud Applause.) Mr. B. BEAUMONT then proceeded in :Ineloquent speech to comment upon the object for whirls they had wet. — (Left speaking.)

Mr. Justice BEST considered that the uuus lay with the defendant to prove that the wenn was not roi reedy bid. If all the detendaut supposed had actually ocrou red, it would not remove the malignity of the l.ilal. The Statute of tiro. 3. made the question .4100 not a question of fact, it was the duty of the Judge to direct the Jury—and he would contend that his direction in the nose alluded to was in no way incorrect or partial.

Ile was sure it gave the Learned Counsel more pain on reflection, than it it did him on mentioning it. He concluded by stating that if he had felt any doubt on the case, he should hare been very happy to have given the defendant the b.metit of it, fur no man was by his general conduct respectful demean our to theJlidge,am: he would add worthy rank in society deserving of it, he was sorry it was not in his power. We lived in time, when it was necessary not only for the Judge to slim his opinion of the law, but to shew that that opinion was well founded. He saw reason to disturb the verdict. Mr. Julie. HoLnovn read his opinion.—The case to him appeared to be sudiriently proved at the trial. The defendant had himself acknowledged the (Act.

Th. C u ts► JI IITI(111/1111111 le 1.016 W. lIIR FRANCISBVITUYTTiIIECEPTION AT LEICESTER. The Festival of the Friends of the ancient Laws and Constitution of the Country, at the Bell Hotel on Wednesday last, in celeltratio4 of the defeat of the in famous Bill of Pains and Penalties against her Ma jesty, went off with uncommon brilliance and spirit ; although the inadequacy of the accommodations to the umbers of those who were desirous of being present, occasioned much personal inconvenience. Besides the pleasure which every feeling heats must experience at the check thus given to the relent less persecution of an unfoi:uuste and illustrious woman ;----iu addition to the gratification which every friend of Liberty must enjoy in beholding this triumph of public opinion in s, ite of all the efforts made to stifle its expression, and to para. lys.: its effects, the interest of the flay was increased to this highest degree by the presence of an illustrious in dividual whose pure benetolence of character coin. mantis the admiration even of his political enemies; while his unparalleled exertions for the restoration of the constitutional Liberties of his country. have secnred him a place in its annals, more glorious than even hi s extraordinary eloquence, or the rich and varied stores of his powerful mind, could have procured—we mean Sir Francis Burdett. It is not the place here to enter into an eulogium on met its acknowledged by those who are most competent to appreciate them, but we must apologise to our readers fur our inability to convey any thing like a just idea of the two speeches which he de. livered on this occasion, and of which the first alone occupied three quarters of an hour. An expectation being entertained or affected by the Magistrates, that an illumination would take Oa .e at Leicester in the evening, they extensively ci rc ul a t e ,' a handbill fur the purpose of announcing that they had provided an adequate force fur the occasion, and were fully determined to preserve the peace of the town, and to punish, with the utmost severity, all is Ito should dare to attack the persons or property of those who may think proper not to illuminate. A great number of special constables were sworn in, and the Leicester troop of Yeomanry Cavalry was or dered to be in readiness at a moment's warning 'flue non-commissioned officers of the Leicester Militia were also on duty at the Magazine. and train the gene ral precautions, it might have been supposed that the town was about ts, undergo a siege, the stew ards, however, had Dever intended to illuminate, nor would a single house in the place have been lit i op, bad it not bceu for the handbill yet after all this pole ol war, the evening, however, passed over without the slightest etnfasion. Twenty or thirty houses in different parts of the town were illuminated, and se veral transparencies were exhibited with appropriate mottos. Notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather, the Thomaston band also paraded the streets till a late hour with torches; accompanied by several persons with an eiegaat 11.4.

This resol rtiun was secon.led by Joseph Lamb, Esq. The remaining Resolutions were proposed by Doetat Resilient. in iery energetic speech, and seconded by William Arm strung, marl. JOHN HOWER Witicsrr, Esq then rose and addremed the meeting, stating, that lie bad lately travelled through the countries which had been t sed by her Alajesty ; that in Italy, where the Milan Cosansisqian arai r•Ja- Mislird, the most infamous reports were circulated against the Queen. and whirls he firmly believe,) owed their origin to Leach, Cooke. Pond!, and Rasttlii. I This was confirmed from the circumstance of his not hearing any thing against her Majesty during his travels iu Palestine, which could only be accounted fur by the influence of this infamous Commission not extending so far, and from the circumstance of the pliant I Wino be ing more easy to bribe than the stubborn Inrk. Ha also stated, that he had resided a month at the inn at Trieste, at which Pietro Puchi was waiter, and from what he saw of him he had no hesitation in pronimucial; • him an abandoned old miscreant.
