We shall suppose the Ainbas .oiin of au independent State, accredited to the Holy to e mploy himself, at the instigation of the devil, picking the locks of her Alajesty's writing-desk, ,„ o rder to übtaiu possession of her papers, with the flew to suppress evidence of leer innocence, or to in tent eridrure of her guilt.

Caroline of g a gl A nd, scandalously evading, in i ttt hat of the most scamlalous roeduct of Miaisters at home, to speak of her under her proper title of Queen. We shall suppose, tint, iu addition to the in berth of vulgar hired ue m i ni um spies and infortners,—those accredited official 4pies,—our Ambassadors to Foreign Courts, had taken it is their heads, that to disparage and insult the Queen, 19 I to refuse her the t itles and dignities which had con ktimtiunally devolved to her, as well as to mum mtud to the Courts, to which they were accredited, . treat her Majesty with similar indignities, would he fedgment of past, and a good loon acetvalde acknow ,ration of (stare favours. We shall suppose, that those Auillassadors,Charges d'Affaire, antlConsitia, lend found it iteretary to the vindication of their own conduct, in thus inking and insulting their Mistress, to receive, :inn render current, if nut to invent, every species of calamity against leer repatatioa. We shall suppose such calmanum, daily promulgated in the circles of those re preseatatirm of Majesty, to he treasured up by every fr;bble of a traveller, who hail the houour to dine at their tables, and to be thee speedily propagated throne-h every (;,.art and nation in Europe. l'Ve shall suppose it to hire become the fashion, in England especially, for this species of traveller, npon his return from foreign parts, to seiner his patriotism, and love of distinction, by istanfM.v retailing the incredible falsehoods which he had piAtal up in his tour; thus contributing., as far as in his power, to assassinate the reputation of a fe male, anti of Ilk tineen. We shall farther suppose that inch are the tales, invented, fabricated, and prepared. by the vilest miscreants in society, adopted and propagated by persons in higher stations, for the most unjnstitiable purposes, and, believed by the creilniuti and unwary, which form the polluted eon- Unts of our never-to-be-forgotten K im' bags. Thus it might be possible that tales, originally invented by map mr:mahaliter in London, should, after having made the grand time a Europe, he re-imported and propagat- W e in England as facts, the gennine manufacture of the Continent. There is not, and never was, nor ever will a woman so pure that her reputation might not be destroyed, if credit were to be given to such incredible evidence. So help we lied ! if the contents of such a lag were submitted to ay consideration, I should think myself a knave, or a fool of no ordinary magnitude, if I did not determine in /indite, as Lord Castlereagh world oar, to disbelieve every word of them.

AS she consented, it compliance with the width of Parliament, to sacrifiet the tight which she had came forward to claim, of proving her innocence by a public trial, some Measnre shotild be taken amounting to as clear a recognition of innocence as if it had been pro claimed by the verdict of a Jury, Cr the sentence of a Court. For that purpose she proposed the alterna tive, either that her name should be replaced in the Liturgy, or that she should be introduced to Foreign Powers ; or, if it pleased her Royal husband, to only one Foreign Court, as Queen Consort of ExoLarto, that she might he treated in a manner consistent with her innocence and her rank. This alternative, simple and easy as it appears, and barely just to her MaJI:STY if accepted, was rejected, and on this point alone did the negotiation break of Sums which she despised, honours which had hitherto been insultingly denied her, even an Address of both /louses, were offered her as bribes to retire without the recognition of her innocence ; but the only condition which would have cost nothing to the country. anti would have sa•istied her just de mands, was obstinately refused. • Under those circum stances, her Maacs•ry could have no other course than to throw herself into the arms of Parliament and the country. She has done so, and Parliament is once more preparing to interpose a shield in her defence. Whatever be the exact nature of the motion of which Mr. Wil.nenroncr has given notice for this even ing, its object is not doubtful ; it is to render it necessary for the Crown to re-consider its late decision, and to consent to such terms as will af ford to her MAJESTY the satisfaction necessary for the Vindication of her character. It is rumoured, that in order to effect this purpose, he intends to art on the op,. made 111 her MA.; Itsri• herself, and to address her to request that she would nut insist on the insertion of her name in the Liturgy. If so, the Honourable Gentleman must of course either address the KING to request that he would concede the equiva lent suggested by the QUEEN (on official presentation at Foreign Courts), or he must propose souse other con dition bearing with equal force un the question of in nocence. What that condition can be, we own we are at a loss to conceise. The subject, however, is now in honourable hands ; and though it may astonish the conutry that a man of Mr. WiI.BERFORCE'S ti ligious principles should propose to induce a Qt*ErN to resign tile prayers of her People, the well intentioned Member will, no doubt, console himself with the conviction (in Iwhich we must amply share), that whilst the offeriaig of the lips will be given to other names, the offering of the hturt will belong to her MAJ VSIT. In the House of Commons last night, Mr. Wit.ern- FORCE, in consequence of the failure of the late ne gociation between the Kixu and QV FEN, race notice, fur this evening, of a motion which, in effect, may supersede the discussion expected on the motion of Lord Casti.rue toll. According to the forms of the House, the ft.rmer is entitled to have precedence of the latter; and even if that had not been the regular course, Lord 12.4-mcneauit declared he should gladly bend to any measure which, in the judgment of the Illuuse, would render the further discussion of his motion unnecessary. All the Ministers, it is mani fest, are extremely anxious to shift from their own shoulders the responsibility of this odious and perplexing business in any way that would not give umbrage to their Royal Master. if any mode could be suggested that would relieve the case from the difficulties with which it was surrounded, they avow they would readily adopt it. The object of 3lr. Wir.nritrout E, su far as be was pleased to explain it, was to endeavour to remove all obstacles to as amicable arrangement of the differences existing between their Majesties. What the precise nature cf his motion was, he did not seem prepared to state; nor was he disposed to answer--what must be; indeed, implied in the re moval of obstacles, if his motion be consistent with his professions----whether he meant to propose the restora.

AN._ common dealing, and lb common sense, it could only mean, that the one party must not be understood to admit, nor the other to retract; the impression; under which they bad consented to degociate.— If it meant any thing else, the differences would, ne cessarily, in opposition to all the arbitration in the world, go on like parallel lines for ever, and yet never meet. But, as applied to the point in question, a liberal con struction of this preliminary is not only fair in itself, but absolutely necessary on the part of the Queer. In the restoration of her 111A.1 es t v's name to the Liturgy, as claimed, it would be, on Ihr part of the KINO, 110 more that what the very agreement to negotiate implies—a cessation of hostilities. The removal required it; not a removal of impressions from the mind of his M \JESTS, but a removal of the occasion of prejudices from the mind of the public. It is a removal of a stigma that is as affixed to her MAJESTY'S character, whether with reason or without it, the public know not ; for. her 111 tIESTY'S character had never obtained a public trial. It is a ri muval of an indignity which had been openly made, eowequence of secret proceedings which were in consistent with the laws of the land, and which the wooer they were rectified would be the more consitent with propriety ; of an indignity of which the KING might be well supposed to agree to the re ttttt vsl with out any prejudice to his honour, but to which her MAJErry can at nu time, and could at tor time, agree to submit, without compromising all her dignity and honour, as a Queen and as a woman. • Compared with this all other pints in question must in the estimation of her Alajet ty be of minor iulp..r -tance. It was distinctly stated by the King's servauts, that any proposition they would recommend to his Majesty, must have for its basis her 11.urs, Y • S residence abroad. This condition would doubtless be received with pain, desirous as the Quarx must be to continue in the midst of a people who have Evinced :o her the warmest attachment ; and it Wa% a condition that could not possibli have been proposed, had not the construction of the Ministers on their preli 11l hoary points been similar to that fur which tee have contended. Vet hard as the submission must have been to her MA JESTY'S feelings, her MAJESTY, it appears, has yielded to the circumstances of her position, n hich, by the un-; happy domestic differences that prevailed, had er ated the dithculty of her MAJEsTv holding a Court, and had, itt the understanding of Parliament, rendered a con tinuation of her Al *Jess v's residetwe in this country to be subject to public inconvenience. Nothing of itu portance then remained, than to arrange the circumstan ces in which her 3IAJEs t v might be-enabled to form her I establishment in the foreign State where she may choose' to reside. With respect to pecuniary provision, an ade tistatimapply had Lome proposed; ipso t kis Mit! treated with becoming dignity. The most respectful conveyance, too, was offered to convey her MAJESTY to the Continent, as if indicative of the disposition to render her retire ment from this country as speedy and as smooth as pos sible. But as to the politic reception of her MAJEss Y by the Isaac's Ministers, or her introduction into Fo reign Courts, no security or pioulise could be obtained. lu this state tea• the negotiation left by the arbitrators, and in this state is ha revival this evening about to be tried. Under the reuse we entertain of the injuries her MAJESTY has received, and of the feelings and spirit with which she is animated, we trust that the result of the attempt will be an arrangement that is consistent with her die nity and honour. Extract of a letter (ruin Aux Cayes, May 4 :—" An insurrection of a formidable nature, under the direction of llamas, had very near proved fatal to President Royer: but, through thistly information , and great exertions, the party of (leneral tionsur has been defeat- et', and the I.leneral himself has disappeared, and it • supposed he is drowned.

Her Majesty, iu her excur,iutT the other day, took occasion to inspect the house in which the late Prin. , cess Charlotte had resided on Shooter's hill.

His Majesty was present during this painful scene, and animated the exertious of the engineers and military in extinguishing the dames., The Imperial family have taken up a temporary resi- deuce at Pasrlowsky.

A circumstance bas decoded in this city. which is at present the topic of general eenversation, aid which perhaps will be found interesting to the *hole Of err readers. The particulars Ire as follow :-- Mr. Wilson, a respectable iren-fousidet., residing is the Pavement, iu this city, has a foundry in Watergate; and on Thursday week, William Brawn, one of his men who is employed at the foundry (a quiet indastHotts fel low, with a wife and family), having tb call at the shop. in the Pavement, accidentally entered into conversation with Thomas Hope, an apprentice with Mr. Vibson, and the son of a journeyman brewer of that. name, near Fess bridge. The conversation ultimately turned to the sub ject of the Queen's return to this country, and to the improbability of an amicable arrangement being the re sult of the present negociation. In the irritation of the I moment, Brown, very improperly and very injodicionsly (according to the t 'presentation), said, " I wish that the hug • • • • • • and I shook; bare no objection • • • •I" or words to that I purport. It appears that another apprentice and the Sutton carrier were also present at the time when than word:. were tittered. lkt Satnrdav last, a come/tunics lion w:.s received by the Right Him. the Lon! Mayor of York front Lord Sidniouth, in:losing a letter, thigh Hope, the apprentice, had sent to his Lordship, with a detail of the above particulars. Aftcr stating that he had received the said letter from an inhabitant of York. Lord Sidusouth added a request, that the Lord Mayor would adopt such measures as his Lordship, on inquiry, might consider that ihe case required. Proper steps were accordingly taken by the Lord Mayor and Mr. Al derman Wilson—the parties underwent an ifomediate evainination—and Brown was ordered to give hail for his appearance lit the next York Sessions—bin:self in 51 1 /. and two sureties in '2sf. each: which he did aceordligly, The most remarkable part of this remarkable to ery , is, that the apprentice (Hope) prlfevted to bole the oesoig pc, Weal el.imitis as the accessed Brown, and had mom'. ly used the omit violent expressions, at various times, against his Majesty's Ministers, in the presence of his fellow. workmen. During the examination before the Magistrates. thin's the informer, was asked, whether he was advised by any one to take this step, to which he positively gave a ne. 'afire answer. Mr. tlibson, and the distressed mother of the apprentice, however, repeated the question after. wards. at Mr. o.'s house ; at which time, as if relenting of his former conduct, he no lunge, denied di* apparent feet, that other agency had been engaged. Still no further particulars could be elicited from lilan sad it is not a little remarkable, that he (the informer) 11.4 sines disapptared from York, and wit observed pissing through Dringhouses, with a hurdle in his Land, early on Funday morning. In conclusion, it is worthy re. mark, that though appearances are so much in favour of steal agency, on this occasion, yet so ITSegVett had the apprentice been tlitoughout the whole altair, that the hr. - , word which Mr. tiibsou (his master) ever heard on the subject, was from one of the 'Magistrates who examined the parties.—( York Cos rot, S.)
