The Government has established at Celle • Board or ell the Invntutions for the Poor. THE Fri Sii PlthISS. LONDON, FRIDAY. Avow, 4, IS The frequency of military reviews in the vicinity of the metropolis ' , mold imply that the confidence of the Government in the armed force of this coun try has not been in any degree shaken by the oc currences which have taken place in Spain and at Naples. This feeling is further sliewn by the mea sure adopted by the Ministers, of collecting troops shunt London preparatory to the commencement of the Queen's trial. There is something very singular in this latter circumstance, as it indicates the apprehensions of the Government. Are the Ministers conscious of pursuing measures so very repugnant to the feelings of the people as to require the presence of an unusual military force to over awe the multitude and secure s their own safety ? Are not the Guards sufficient, as in ordinary cir cumstances, to ensure the tranquillity of ►he me ; 'tropiilis, or are the public thought to be more for midable than usual ? The sentiments entertained by the inlialniants of the metropolis respecting the t trociedings against the QUEEN, whatever they may be, are most undoubtedly shared by the mass of the population throughout the empire, sod if any apprehensions be felt lest those proceedings might lead to outrages, have the Ministers had the pre caution to ascertain what impressions the troops may have received upon this subject ? Our sol diers are raised from among the'people, and con stantly mix with them, so that it is difficult for the troops to avoid the coutaginn of popular opinions. 11 is indeed well known that among the Guards in particular he► MAJESTY'S bitU*lioll has excited the most lively interest, and it is not likely that it has produced a weaker impression upon the rest of the army. It is for this reason that we suggest the expediency of ascertaining the sentimeuts of the troops before any portion of them is brought into the metropolis for the purpose of checking the expression of public opinion in the QVIKEN'S fa vour. The occurrences in Spain and Naples should teach us the prudence of not reposing with too much confidence upon the apathy of a standing army. Addresses to the Qum; continue to be doily poured in from various parts of the kingdom, and her MAJZSTIre answers seem to breathe a wore and more animated feeling, as if her mind derived an incrme of vigour from observing the generous sympathy of the nation in her uuworthy sufferings. , We are gamely rejoiced to lied that in sll bet he MAIMITT te. and it there be e ' mote reedilt re billion witnesses his Quoits, iption raised by her MAJESTY'. repeated assurances, aided by the powerful testimony of her return to England, and of her resolute refusal of the tempting offers made her by the Ministers, and seconded by the House of Commons, seems to our minds as strong in favour of her innocence, as that raised by the reports of the g►een bag Committees appears to be in confirmation of her guilt. It is impossible to believe that if the Qusgs were really what her enemies would represent her, she could ever have hesitated about accepting the compromise that was offered to her. It has been pretended by the Treasury writers, that the Add presented to the QVEEN express only the sentiments of the half-dozen persons who get them up, and that these persona are uniformly radicals. This assertion is as devoid of truth as it is replete with m a lice. %Ve have not collected the private history of all the Addresses winch have been presented to lies MAJESTY since the moment of her return, but let us see how the account stands with respect to Is the Address from the Mayor. Bailiffs, and Burrows of the borough of Berwick upon-Tweed,' which was presented to her MsjMY on Wednesday by Lord OSSU LSTON. This Address WS, proposed at a guild publicly convened by the Mayor, and numerously attended. upon the 24th of last month, and the question of its recep tion was regularly discussed, and put to the vote in the ordinary manner. The result was, that the Address was approved of by 156, while it was opposed by only 32 or the individuals authorised to express an opinion upon the subject. It was. there fore, carried by a majority of 124, and was regu larly given uncles the common seal of the Corpora tion, and signed by Mr. STEEL, the Mayor. This is not the work of " some half-dozen persons who gin up the Address"—" it was not done in a cor ner ;" and we doubt not that if the other expres sions of popular opinion upon the same subject were examined with the same attention, a result not dis similar would be the consequence. The charge of radicalism against any number of persons is so much the more easily made, as it would require a personal knowledge of all the in dividuals concerned to enable us to disprove the al legation, and also as those who make the imputation either will not or cannot give a precise definition of what radicalism is. In the extended reuse of the term a radical is one who ventures to question the wisdom or sagacity of the present Ministers, or who ventures to think that there is any circumstance in the whole system of government which requires al teration or admits of improvement. It has been fur some time bandied about and applied every where with such a want of discrimation, that the term has almost ceased to be one of reproach.— Certain it is, that if all who favour her Mh• JESTY'S claims to a fair and impartial trial be radicals, they prove themselves much better friends to the cause of royalty in general than those who would reproach them with this ap pellation. They would save the Royal Family from the foul calumnies which have been cast upon one of its highest members—they would respect the state of royalty too much to exhibit the facility with which crowns may be removed from heads alleged to be unworthy to wear them—they would not institute proceedings which, in the opinion of the House of Commons, are derogatory from the dignity of the throne, and are injurious to the best interests of the empire—nor sit a moment of peculiarly danger ous irritability in the public mind would they bring forward • subject calculated above all others to agitate the country, and to excite feelings of aliens lion with respect to the Government. It is notorious that since the commencement of this unfortunate business the Royal Family has not been raised in public estimation ; a certain awkward spirit of in quisitiveness has been excites! by no means service able to personages high in rank. Let the disgrace ful state of our caricature-shops speak of the manner in which even Majesty itself is treated. These are the results which bad been anticipated, and now it is our misfortune that even if the Ministers were to retrace their steps, and forbear to proceed any further upon this dangerous ground, to correct the evils that they have occasioned would far exceed their power. The utmost precautions are necessary to prevent the mischief front extending further. A Flanders Mail arrived last night wit% Papers to the 2d instant.

On the 15th of last month a Tuna host, belonging to those which fish for coral on the coast of Barbary, arrived at Legistrra from athismoot soloH /alma ow that coast. The muter states, that on the 23d June an Algerine frigate rip. peered before Bona with a Tunisian palace", which they had raptured. The commander of this squadron dined with the Neapolitan Carmel, and returned or board to set sail. He WWI after captured • Tuscan tartan, and other small Tuscan vessels, which had brought provisions fur the cm's' fishers, and put the crews in irons. This event alarmed the fishermen, who asked protection from the French Consul, sod from the Captain of a French gutsily, al anchor is the neighbourhood. This protection was refused. They sent to ask istaistanee or an asylum at Tunis, and mean lime sought safety by leaving the coast. None of she Sardinian boats engaged in the same fishery were molested. It is said that Tuscany hail merely a truce with the Algerines, which espire4 on the 9th of June. The Regency of Tunis was preparing to d. fend the city against the Algerines and Tripoli tans.

They contain no intelligence of any importance re specting the state of Naples. The extracts which they communicate from the Madrid Papers bring down the sittings of the Cortes to the 19th of July, inclusive. During the sittings of the 18th and 19 , h, the Cortes were principally occupied in bearing petitions and propositions some of which were important. It was proposed to ameli orate the situation of the curates or lower classes of ecclesiastics. Such a proposition, so emi nently calculated to raise the dignity of the church, must at the same time have it favourable influence upon the politics, feelings of this large class of the clergy, and teach them the wisdom of strengthen ing, by every means in their power, a state of affairs which is likely to contribute so much to their indi vidual interests. It was proposed to grant a recompense to Qui- ROCA'S army as a testimony of national gratitude. The Cortes cannot choose but concur in this, for to the army they owe their existence. It was also sug gested, probably as an inducement to wealthy fo reigners to settle in Spain, to place all the pro. petty of aliens under a national safeguard, even in the event of war. This would be an enlightened policy, and that it should even he proposed in the Cortes, augurs well for the prosperity of Spin. A suggestion, not evincing equal wisdom, was made by the deputy. RUY PADRON. that in all public acts the King's title should be FERDINAND the Great ! The next proposition gave rise, it is said, to a warm debate in the Assembly. M. Moreno Guerra demanded that the Cortes lhould take into their consideration the state of the country, with refer. ence especially to some alarming rumours that were in circulation, and to the refusal of the Bishop of Oulincla to obey the royal mandate, which com manded the clergy to explain the Constitution to the people front the pulpit. This motion was seconded by Don ROMERO ALPUENTE, who insisted upon the necessity of dissipating the rumours that were in circulation. S. VITTORICA argued upon the futility of the motives which had been assigned far inducing the Cortes to undertake so serious a measure. What signified the words of a few idle people ? What danger could be appre hended from the insignificant opposition of a hand fed of egotists, without support or means ? Ilia sr. guments had the desired effect; for the Cortes de termined that they should not take the proposition into their consideration. The King and Queen of Spain left Madrid on the morning of the 80th for the waters of Sacedun. The proceedings relative to the tumult at the quarters of the King's Guards, on the Bth of last month, have been suspended iu consequence of some defect in form. The rules of this regiment require that the proceedings should be instituted by the Adjutant of the week. The Kin° referred the question to the Cortes, who in their turn re ferred it to their Committee of War and Marine.
