TRUQ Futam DS Of (fit; 6111iiitil lOU. Can understand: indeed, '11.(4 those who do not lure the Constitution come to hate Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and therefore are is baste to abuse him at every step be takes. But then, these persons du pretend to revere the Con. allusion, and diareters shut theneselees out ot any argument arising frees his tee great mode. ration, or eves from his timidity, If ho •is Cei % gable of any such thing as fear. Their deems.; nation, is a good JARODSNICAL declamation, but is a very hail LOYA L declaspatieu. However, leaving all this absurdity to their better thoughts, let as look a little at what we may call their argu. meet. They say, that Sir Flutters knew very well that such an immense concourse of people could not be assembled on such an occasion, with. out the dagger of - accidents, or of blood being shed, and yet permits thaprocession to be pre. pared. /first of all, before they make use of that statement, they ought to know that Sir FRANCIS BURDITT inn permit that assemblage, although they could not he sepposed to know that hedid not give any permission in the case. But the danger was not the danger of accident happening from the im. ntense assemblage of people. As great - assemblages have been heretofore without accident ; and, from thodisposition of the people assembled towards each other, it Is probable no accident would have hap. pened. The persons we are now writing to, the Treasury persons, know where the danger lay, and where it did not lie. They know ion what the.danger was ; of what nature, and in what it consisted. Indeed, they have slipped a word, which shows where their thoughts were, when they talked of the danger. They speak of the danger of blood being shed; and as they couple the proposition with the danger of . accidents, they speak ridiculously enough. But, if does show, upon what their eyes and thoughts were fixed. It is now pretty will ascertained, how and in what form the danger and mischief would arrive. The populace, after their triumph (there was no danger in that merely), would have 'demanded a general illumination—the Treasury would hays refused it at any cost. Here was matter for danger and mischief, quite sufficient, either for the finsND or Dtsconn, if there be any such, or the Fans DI Or DESPOTISM, of whom ibers are many I—Tho Treasury Prints spoke with exaltation, and with commendation of Ministora l of time ereparations to preserve the 00119stalitty of the metropolis. We are not ig norant °fun/rut of those PREPA RATIONS. They were.well cutset!ived for their and; aud Ministers had every wit about them but owe—namely, the wit to suspect that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT would himself preserve the tranquillity of the metropolis by nealtalbing that lIIIKENSIE ASVESIULAGR, which no man on earth could prevent from meeting to bail his liberation. They made the small mistake 'of overlooking the possibility of the course taken by Sir F. Buttnrrr ; but the mistake was natural to them, for how should they find REACH for sum a THOUGHT ? It now, however, pretty well known, that, had it happened Ow 'the mind •of Sir FRANCIS was formed -on their mould, the Metropolis, at this instant, would have been a scene of general mourning for VCATtts ; and the cense of Reform, of ra. dental, legal Reform, would have been c tST RACE ) nobody can say how many years, but fOr an age (in seeming, at least) to the feelings of those who are most impatient for Reform.—Rage on, there ', fore! yc who have lust by this" severe miss of a Pairponement of ltEream, and arc maddened by ; a disappointed thirst fur what shall we say ?

Sir.Fitaxcts BUR nETT, immediately after his arrival at Wimbledon front the Tower, waited on his friend, Mr. Ilounc TOOKL, who, though un. able to sit up in his bed to speak to him, enjoys his mamal faculties in !VI vigour. When Sir FnAnias iuthrtned the veteran that he declined I gobs with the procession, he observed, 66 you i will.be abused by the inconsiderate, 'Fiilyekiltilif lacted perfectly .right." Mr. BOSTII.LE, `Mr. I num), and other' particular friends of Sir i navies, UCHDETT, did not sippear in the pro. i cession, as Mated in some of the public prints. _ For the proceedings respecting the liberation of Sir Faints BURDETT, we refer to our Private CDOeSpoudcnt, and extracts from the London jaspers, and congrattelate oar readers that the worthy Baronet has followed the advice of his friends, in repairing privately to his own house.

The retirement of Captain FOSKET?, whose case was lately the subject of parliamentary discussion, from the 151 h regiment of Light Dragoons, is an nounced in S iturday's Gazette. A letter from an Officer at Gibraltar, dated the Bth of May, states, that 600 deserters, consist ing of French and .subsidiary foreign troops, in the pay of France, had arrived at the garrison of Alicant, and that 500 more were upon their march fur the.same destination. A. letter from an Officer on board the gyperion brig, oft St. Domingo-, gives some particulars re specting the squadrons of flise rival Chiefs of that island. CURISTOPOE'S, it is said, rottSistll of ninel vessels; two ships, about the size of British slurps' of war ; five brigs, one schooner, and a Mall PETIONN COOSiSIa Of seven vessels, two corvettes, four brigs, aunt a three masted schooner ; thulium. ber of guns in each squadron, is nearly equal, about 125. These squadrons had rerunning tight on the 28th March, but Pelson's vessels avoided a general action, and from thtir superior sailing were enabled to do so. CIIICISTOVITE was before the Mole the beginning of M a ry; his troops had invested the place for 16 months : on his arrival, lb. stormed two places nearly adjoining the town, and was determined to carry it by assault if it slid not surrender. It is stated in a Dominica paper., maim! on Saturday, that the President of that island having eceived information that a camp of runaway negroes had been formed amongst the heights of Grand Day, a party of the 40th regiment was dis. patched under the orders of Lieutenant CA-LIME to surprise it. After marching all night, tient. CAUDER arrived at the place at day.break, but owing to the premature discharge of a musket, only six negroes were takes; two aden, a man and woman, were shot in attempting to escape; the wretched woman's bead Wu cut off and ear. tied to Roseau, and there noosed on a pole In the market.place for two days! Fer eaploit the Legislatore voted 50 rsineas to Lient. Cu.. nca, 8 dollars to the non.conseassioned officer, awl 4 dollars to each of the privates of 'lns party, in addition to the rewards allowed by law. The letters by itni t l*tr y that the Swedish Government had expressed MOO dissatisfaction at the conduct of Sir JAMES SAUMARES, is wrest. ing the entrance of such ships as were not provid. ed with English licences into the ports of that king. dom. As a measare of .retaliatiets, an order was issued that no vessels should he permitted to sm. load ; in cous•quence of which a . great numbor had gone to the Baltic to sett for ports in which they could deposit their cargoes. Several, we understand, had sailed for Cronst alt, which port, it is - reported, they were allowed to cuter. The hopes that lately prevailed at St. Peters. burgh of an accommodation with this country, were extinguished by demi-official assurances that no uegociatioe to that effect was either on foot or in contemplation. The exchange in consequence began to look downwards again. It continued, however, to be the opinion of some of the best in. forme4 persons-in-that the ern ment ere long would be under the necessity of en. Wring iota some arrangement with this country.
