Now, however, lve Gamin! be longer atiset, The intrigues of Ministers will out wait -wren a fortnight's interval; and a FeaTNIGHT, 'es this cutout!) , is placed, may, in events, be mini. ;valentto more than an. ACE. The hest step of the .present intrigue of Ministers is to adjourn Parlia. .eoent, at its neat Meeting, .for a second and longer period. This is to give time for the preparation of the ether rtwltsures of the intrigue ; which are not so easily'veaceted as they were rashly adopted.. The 'People of England do not mean to give Any * Minis. tern a leasehold estetebt the Executive Government. If, .therefore, any inch event, s likely to happen, - -as the • present 'Ministers obtaining a lease Detheir seats on the Treasury Bench, doting the entire con. tinuatlon of certain painful cirenmstanyes, it must be upon some system of deception, of a nature which ono would think could never egain . be prac. tised spun Englishmen with success. There Is dif. ficulty, thorefoie, standing in the way of the de. .signs we now contemplate, and which we would assist in overthrowing. but Ministers arc vigi. lent, in some cases ; and the people too often isiamber, when they should be most *awake ! How would our Merchants and Manufacturers like to have this scene of Commercial distresses pro. longed till even the return of our former traffic would nut sate them ? plow would our Articles bear to see their wants continued till they hail so* children, 'termitic, to save? How' far would our sensible and well disposed Politicians he satisfied t o see thi s -*pion °fallings mild on till no remnant of the Constitution was left, and till there wteeln -f laws, no worth, no country to redeem ? • Finally, how would any dais be content to live much longer tender scheutes• of a military policy, which way in one fortnight lay the sceptre of these realms, and the independence of these lends, at the feet of bretal foreign enemy ? We know • how all this would be answered ; and the tetticipated answer is pin' invitation to call upon the people of England—, to put them upon their guard--to invite them to turn their eyes to the place whence th . eir danger arises--and, while they look with &idlel solicitude to the changes iu their Suvereigit's health, to recollect they have somethitg dearer to them titan the most 'august and precioui life that ever breathed 1 , It is. the trick of those who make a trade of loyalty, to seise upon various oecasieus to destroy . the people through the mistakes of the people's real. loyalty. They know how much the Momsactl is beloved; end they would fir every cye upon him, while they necomplishaheir Wishes, which wishes would be the &solution of a remnant of dwise Conetitution,end ikethitenc. l of the i Throee and the State.

England has now a great task to preform—a task of genprosity.to %thee', AO of ,justice to herself ! Nor," do we thin, she will fail in the esseeviCion.tof her riuty, We ire sure ihe• will,nntoif Use old . system of atiminiiteriog 'vile -anti poisonous me- dicines is not practised upbti her; and practised it will bt if she consent to take drugs from . any but safe hands !--It is, seeing, as we do, the emergency of public affaiSl, the proper dis. position of the people if they are not mis led, and Ow utility of a warning voice in this situation of hope and fear, it is for these reasons we have found ourselves called upon to speak on • these topics, even before the eventful fortnight is ex. pired. We could have been silent, and avoided .what the enemies of the country will call indecent haste, if we could have seen security from the designs of. wicked men—but there is none, there can be gone, save in the. people's Vigilance ! To that. then we lay the appeal which is to preserve the country from all its surrounding horrors—Let it be literd I should be the pra - yer of every honest men ! The apprehensions we recently have entertained respecting . the issue of the Negotiation for a gene ral Exchange of Prisoners, seem now to be un. fortundelYrealized, as will be seen by the first pas. sago of. the following letter received this morning fesom Plymouth. The whole of the letter is lute. 'resting, bat wo n have no room fur comments on it:—.. - . - . 'g PLYMOUTH; Nov. 7. " Arrived this morning the Janie: cartel, from Morlaix, 'which place she left yesterday, and has brought over Mr. M'KeNstE, together with the • whole of his . selte and servants—so that the hopes of an * Exchange of Prisoners are now entire- ly it an cod. Ilis relent to this country so soon ,coold nut have beeri expected by the Government, for the ildive-mtcl, which sailed yesterday fur 51orleix, carried over dispatches for him. " In coniesitienee of the laic proceedings amongst the crewaot•tike packets St Falmouth,theNiemen fri gate, North *tar,Peacock,andOrestes sloops of war were dispatched on Sunday last, with anwdditional number of seamen and marines on board, fur the purpose of bringing them hither ; and they will in future be stationed at this port. Eight of th e m arc this morning arrived 'here, accompanied by the *above men or war ; amongst them arc the Nocton, Elizd .beth, Diana, Dispatch, Adventure, and Express. —The Agent- for the Packets, together with his Clerks, arc arrived hero ; and the remainder of the packets, as they arrive from abroad * will be or. dercd to this port. 44 Arrived the Scylla brig of war, of 18 inns, From Coronna, which place she left the 2Qtb ult. Various reports were in circulation at that place when the Scylla lea it, of skirmishes having taken place in favour> of the Allied Armies, and that MASSEiI4 had oteted to capitulate ; but it does not appear that much credit is to bu attached thereto ; and it is supposed that nothing decisive bad taken place, • so. that intelligence could have been received of the same at Cornnna by the 26th ult. A passenger by the James cartel, brings an account that the following vessels have been cap. tured and carried into Alorlaix, by the Fared French privateer, viz. the 7'zoo Brothers, of Lon. don, Captain Bot.ocao, from London, bound to Gibraltar, laden with tea, coffee, &c. ; the Lord Collingwood, Captain Smatom, (min London, bound to Lisbon: This vessel engaged the Fera l in 'Which the Master and Mate of the •Craltirigrao od were killed ; and the American ship -- 7 , i cspsain LEWIS—aII captured last Saturday week." • In oul.Paper of yesterday, we gave - a sketch of the proceedingi in the Court of King's Bench, in relation to the case of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and the lionse of Commons. To-day, we have give's. a full 'account of those proteedings. The ATTOR, NET T GENIMAL has always been anxious to have the Demurrer argued bef ore the ACtion against Mr. COLEMAN `is tried. The reason of this appears' -pretty svideut--it, is that the question shall be de. cided, as a question of law merery . ; ror this - eonsl. deration of the Judges solely; and not as a mingled question of law and fact, to be determined by the verdict of 'a Jury. Sir .Famscis 13uttnErr brought separate actions against the Speaker, the Serjeant at Arms, and the Constable of the Tower; upon the two latter actions, an issue had been join. et', .*ltich.wittald have brought the matter imitedi., ately to a Jury ; but, meanwhile, the SPELLER en. ters a different pica, • namely, that he was justified in issuing his warrant forsthe apprehension and cora -1 t of Sii Fit ANCI6 by the orders of the House. To ibis his plea the Baronet demneradi'es term is ; that is, denied its Validity:: and uptsiiiiiis . Demurrer the Judges may decide, after . beirlwg ar. . gement...that is, in this steppe they may determine the queition, without .the intervention of a Jury, its the Jot instance.

Object of the ATTORNEY-G EN. is to'separate the law `,frikn the tact, placing the law out of the reach of a Jury. This is evident ; for, if the Court decides in behalf of theSrEaasa's plea, and .Mr. Cosi. MAN'S case afterwards goes before 'is lary;lkt Jury would naturally (thoug4 . ow* eider the point of law as settled. It would be more decorous, more consistent ttJtbJ the ends of justice, and less burthenso!e te e the feelings of the Judges, if Mr.CoLsm AN'S ease Went first of all to a Juni', aided as it would be by the JUDGES. The Judges would iii that case s have no other responsibility than the usual one ; nameiy, that of explaining the Law to the Jury, leaving the whole question, after such explanation, to the Ju. noas—that is, the meaning and intention of ENG. LISH Law. We could not learn that 'there had been any arrival this day, from Portugal. Yesterday was fruitful in rumours ; but really, we cannot think it necessary to trouble our readers with reports that are nut to be traced to any respectable source. The Earl of Cuum:tan:La was sent for by ex. press to his scat at Bradbury Hall, to attend, the funeral ceremony of her Royal linos Princess AMELIA. It is expected that his Lordship will succeed the late Lord DAIITMOUTII as Lord Cltam. berlain. His Lordship has ordered mourning fur all his domestics in town and country. Yesterday the Loan MAYOa, Sheriffs, Recorder, Aldermen, and City Officers, met on the Hustings at Guildhall, when the LORD. MAYOR Elect was sworn into office. The Cuamazithsts, as usual, presentel his Lordship with the . City Seal, the Purse, and Mace, each of which he returned to their respective keepers ; after which the Cultstaunr.xkit and principal City Officers shook hands with his Lordship, and welcOmed him to his office. .Tlto LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs came in their private coaches, unattended by the usual pageantry. lie will be sworn in at the Court of. Exchequer at West minster this day. The Court of Aldermen acted with great propri ety in rewarding the persons engaged in the appre bension of the Smithfield street-rubber. Thu hust ling gangs w ho so shamefully infest theCity.might be easily suppressed, if rewards were paid on their apprehension and conviction.. • The circular letters sent to the Lords, pursuant to the resolution .of the • House of Peers, wore scaled with a seat received some time previous by Lord ELDON, as' a present from his K A JE•sIy.

Lord DARLINGTON has at present run into most game foxes. A distressing circumstance occurred lately ?t Blackhrook fun, near Taunton. The landlord, Elson, was seized with a malignant fever, and the sun, a youth of 16 years, soon caught the crinia. glen. On Friday morning, at six o'clock, the son breathed his last, anti in the middle of the day the father became also a corpse. They were push burled in the same grave at Ruisliton, on the ::231 ult.. • Saturday, Henry Llopl o , Midshipmitt of the Gallant gun-brig, who wait committed to the.
