We have received a series of New York Papers' from the I ilk of April to the Ist of May. They announce the termination of the armistice between BoLtwAit and MORILLO, and the resumption of hostilities in Columbia. They also announce a re volution in Mexico, and although they do not con firm the reported capture of Peru, they bring various details which render that event extremely probable. The pretended Constititionsl Aftsociation ap pears to - approach the limit of its exigence, or at least its power of doing mischief seems likely to be neutralised for ever. The County of. Middlesex Grand Jury ou Saturday threw out four bills of in dictmtut fur seditious libels, preferred by this un constitutional Society, and the ground, as we are given to understood, which induced the Grand Jury to reject these bins, is * itst!they consider the Society preferring them as ilkgol combisation." This example of 'the Giiinti Jury of Middlesex will, we trust, be imitated bywil other Juries. to whom bills of indictment may be offered by this combination of informers. The public press will thereby be protected from a - -arew and unconstitutional object of alarm, rights of the Crown will not be arr.- gantigAtsousned by in irresponsible Society, and a chance *ill be afforded twit tlie'fuirds inadiertently applied to the oppression ofthe subject WilLbe ap propdated t• purposes of unequivocal benefit. Had the Minister. of the f,` menbeen sufficiently aconi te.e upon the insult-offered to them by the forma tioe of inch a Society, they would -not have suffered the viudination of the rights sad prerogatives of the Crolen fall upon the Middlesex Grand Jury. It was the duty o f. the ATTOSN,FT-GENEttAt. to haveilltd : ati ittforesition against Mr. Mooney, the attorney,: and . others, the active members of the Asideistirso:for presuming to uadertake the exercise • of mkt( .the Most serious and 'delicate duties that appertain!..his office as -the first law officer .of the Government. The . SobtaToa-Gawitaat., indeed, in the Idossirrof Commons, said that' his Learned Friend ought to feel very grateful to this Society, who grakuitously relieved him of the most painful part of his duty ; end further remarked, that it was impoasible for . the . A/TORtlltt-GENERAL to viiiit all the newsovenders end tract-sellers' shops in Lon don to ferret out subject's for criminal infornistions, and that therefore such a Society as the present war not only deful but necessary. Upon the first part of this precious argument, it is to be observed that the ATTOIMIT-CISNEItAL, in accepting his office, must have been aware of the irksome and painful duties that belonged to it, and have been prepared to encounter the difficulties and inconve niences, as he was ready to enjoy the sweets of his situation. To counterbalance what is disagreeable in the office, there are annexed to it high dignity, a large salary, a certain degree of patronage, and the assured prospect of further promotion io his profession. Though avowedly ministerial, the du ties are to be exercised with a large share of discre tion, and it is from the wisdom and prudence of the individual selected to fill this high station, with the serious responsibility attached to it, that the pnblic me to loot for protection from the abuses of a power which might be turned to the gratification of personal eiiiinosities sod political prejudices. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, therefore, thus highly endowed, and possessing so large a share of the con fidence of the Government, is not entitled to theme any portion of his burden upon irresponsible per sons, or to complain that duties are irksome which lie voluntarily accepted, and may resign in any. moment at his pleasure. If there be any weight in the observation made by the Sotictirou-GENERAL, that the ATTORNEY. GENtRAL cannot visit the shops of news-venders and the sellers of political tracts for the purpose of bunting oat subjects for prosecution, nothing could be more easily managed then for the Arroa- Wee-GTISIAL to cruse all suspected publication. to be examined by • some judicious persous chose. by himself, and the result of such inquiry to be laid before him, that be might exercise his own discre tion u p on t h e passages o r works selected. But surely it could never be the wish of any enlightened Governmeut to set an officer to heal oat subjects for prosecution. Those writings alone are worthy of being prosecuted, which, from their presumed influence upon society, or the rest extent of have New tie* pebiltity, iit'e:!appeeed to be . the best dteuleted be effect mischief. Such works will 411;t1- theimeimt-to the notice of the Minimum end of the ArroutsitY-Ggissaat. without the necessity of being hunted through the dark mid gloomy shelves of obscure news-venders or sellers of tracts. But should this scrutiny still be desirable, and should the " Constitutional Agee anion," as it is styled, be in this point of view necessary or useful, let them, as was well remark ed in the House of Commons, act the part of jackalls for the ATTORNIWAILNEILAL, but let the public at least have the advantage of the exercise of this officer's discretion before any of the Klea's subjects be exposed to the destructive effect of a prosecution for a political libel. The associators may and severally devote their money to the purchase of Sunday newspapers and poli. tical tract., and as in the prosecution of their va luable studies they may chance to light upon some alarming paragraph likely to lead to a breach of the Kitto's peace, by inducing Lord LIMPOOL or Lord SIDIIOIITH to break the publisher's head, scomme inflammatory sentence which may en• danger the stability of the throne, let them imme diately communicate the dreadful discovery to the ATTORNEY-GRWERAL. If the danger be not very imminent, it possibly might be obviated by the able efforts of 'ohm of the host of. scribes whom the promise of reward so liberally held out by the Society must bring into the service of the Mi.. nisteni; but should this ht.pe be disappointed, or should the evil -be so pressing as to leave no time fur compromise, the ATTORWRY-GENERAL may then exert the authority reposed iu him by the Constitution, and preserve the country Pons the dreadful effects of the libeller's pen. We certainly are far from desiring that offences against the Government, committed through the means of the press, should escape prosecution; but on behalf of the public, or for the dignity of the Government itself, we are anxious that the au thorities recognized by the Constitution alone should institute criminatory proceedings. It is not to be tolerated that any set of men in the State should, of their own motion, arrogate to them selves the right of putting _people upon trial for offences of c nature-.merely palitical—that they should set themselves up ,gratuiteasly as. the Champions of the Ministers and the substitutes of the Afroanzir-Grozast —mid- exert upon meta ters of the moat delicate nature a discretion which the forms of !be Constitution and, the practice - of the law hove - -hitherto uniformly. reposed in the breasts of the Ministers of the Croft: an* their, authorised agents. _ iiihrorld the power of ipstitessing eriminatory - fini evading, for libels be allowed. to ;his self.constituted •Asseciation, we cannot see whattis to prevent the same 'body of men from assuming'. similitrright rrith,re gard to high treason. In superseding the office of ATTORNEY-GENERAL the associators may, perhaps, save a considerable sum of Money to the country ; but wetter very far from thinking that a transfer of this officer's power to is Society so constituted - mould produce any serious public advantage. For our own parts se should prefer Sir ROBERT GIFFORD as Attorney-General to Mr. CHARLES MURRAY, for however respectable this -latter Gentleman may be in his profession, hi is not responsible for the! injudicious exercise of his discretionary authority. The confusion and inconvenience that must arise from such a Society preferring indictments in cops of high treason are, we think, sufficiently obvious, yet they differ but in degree from the disadvantages that in practice would soon be found to arise from the Society's intermeddling in cases of libel, and sharing the power of his Majesty's Artoain- GENERAL.

The State Coach in sehich the Kingproceeds to open and .elose the Session of Parlormsent. was built so. far beck as the reign of George .11. sod has beeu itt use ever since. On his present jesty's lest visit to open the Session of Parliament. the coach was observed to be very decayed end de fective, particularly is the wheels. Anxious, how ever, to avoid the expense of a new carriage. his Majesty ordered it to be repaired. Some alter.• Lions were also directed to be made. In conies quence of the attack made on his late Majesty , in St. James's Park, on his way in. his private cans riage from St. James's. Palace to the Queen's Pe. lace, on which occasion the front and sides of the state coach were broken by the mob on its return to the Mews, the front and sides, which consisted of plate glass, when repaired were made ball proof. His present Majesty not approving of this alteration. ordered that the couch should be restored to its primitive state, and the front and sides to be coat-. posed as originally of glass. For this purpose it was removed about three mouths ago front the King's Mews to Messrs. Col line, the King's coach-makers, in Liquorpond-street, from whence, after having gone through the necessary repairs, it was removed to the King's-mews yesterday morning. Three o'clock, a.m. was the time fixed for the removal, to avoid the crowd and confusion that might be apprehended were it removed in the diy time. In obedience to his Majesty's command, the front and sides are of plate-glass, the lining is crimson velvet, the hammer-cloth the same, with gold fringe, as in its original state. It is hung with purple leather instead of red; the buckles and brass ornaments are of exquisite work manship, particularly the.chssing ; the wheels are new, after the pattern of the old ones, the caps of brass, to conceal the works, are very finely ex ecuted. The whole is splendidly gilt, and has a most magnificent appearance. The following is a description of the paintings on the pentads, &c. executed by Mr. Cyprimui : The front Pannel—Britannia peeled on a throne, holding in her hand a staff with the cap of libeity, attended by Reli gion, Justice, Wisdom, Valor, Fortitude, and Victory pre senting her with a garland of laurel. The back Pannel—Neptunaissuiug front his place, draws by Sea Horses, and attended by the Winds, the Rivers, Tri tuns, Naiads, &c. bringing the tribute of the world to the British shore. The right Door—lndustry and Ingenuity giving a cor nucopia to the Genius of England. The flannels on each side of ditto—History recording the records of Fame, and Peace burning the Implements of War. The left Door—Mars, Miurrys, and Mercury, supporting the Imperial Crow• of Great Britain. The Panels on each side of ditto—The liberal Arts and Se icoces protected. The Buys on the roof represent the Genii of England, Scotland, and Ireland, holding in their hands the Sceptre, the Sword of State, and the Ensigns of Knighthood. THR TilieF.

FREEMASONS' TAVIIIIRN. Pursuant to public advertisement a grand dinner was yesterday given at this tavern in celebration of the above-mentioned object. The names of the President, Vice-Presidents, and Stewards, are al ready before the public. Public business, as might naturally be expected, prevented a considerable portion of them from attendance. Among those who were present were— His Royil.Highness the Duke of York, in the dusk; the Doke of Montrose; Minimises Camden and Lothian; Ese , s Harrowby, wesiasortaod, Ritlissest, aid Bleaisiton ; Loses, Melville, Erskine, Pomfret, Ultimo, mud River.; Cnei:t Munster; Judges Sir Wm Scott, Park, Borrosigh, Dalbss, and Stir John &limiter ; Knights and Harmsen' Sir C. %Won. Sir W. !Awes, Sir R. Yanhan, Sir T. P. Herevfonl, and Su. J. Doyle. There were present also several Officers of the Guards and of the hoe, who attended accordi o n; to the. tequisition inserted in the advertisements. Keil gave an increased and lively interest to the intettis‘. The Duke of York's band was in etecodalice from the beginning, and filled up the intervals which the business of the evening occasioned, by playing some of their choicest music. The gallery opposite was filled by ladies of quality in the full display of beauty and fashion. Immediately over the chair was a whole-length portrait of his late Msjesty,in full military uniform, mounted on a charger of equally full proportiooo. The painting is by Mr. Devi., who has so success ' fully illustrated the domestic, mechanical, and agri cultural scenery of the East Indite, to say *nothing of his drawings in celebration of the victories of Marquis Cornwallis and the disastrous fate of the family of Tippoo Saib. The hack ground dis plays a lively representation of Windsor Castle and the adjacent scenery. The figure of the venerable Monarch is exhibited in the act of salutation, as though a regiment were passing in review before him. l'he attitude was peculiarly adapted for the oeea.ion, as it seemed to represent the Sovereign in the act of acknowledging the testimonies et af fectionate loyalty which the assembly were zealous in manifesting to his departed worth. At a few minutes after seven o'clock (the• room having long previously become full of diriingaishect guests) the Royal Chairman entered and took his station. l'lte dinner consisted of all the delicacies of • the season, and the wines were of the choicest and roost costly description. At • few minutes befove eight o'clock the cloth was removed, and non nibis Domine was given in grand style by Sir George Smar t, conductor, Mr. 1-litives, deputy, Mr. Bellamy, felt. Broadhurst, Mr. Leetr, Mr. Ppm, Mr. Goulden, Mr. Terrail, Mu ter Lringlturst, and Mr. Watson. Shortly after the Royal Chairman gave the first t oas t, w hich was preceded by sound o f trumpet— • s.

The succeeding toasts were— " All the Royal Family"—Three times three. " The Navy and Army"—Three lintel three. " Rule Britanuia," Verse and chores with full band. Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ briefly returned Omic, on behalf of the Army and Navy. The next toast was—. " The Memory of King George the Third"—Drunk with silent and solemn revereuce. • The following Address, written by the Reverend George Croly, was then recited by Mr. Conway, • late of the Theatre-Royal.
