Instead of de— ploring the: useless utvl unjust severity of the laws— iostead of exposing the folly that would check 11 tipreuil ref opiiiion—instrail of withdraw rig the veil from despotism—instead of admiring that trerrinu► which is the fruit of knowledge, they wreirld dea•roy the tree, and envelope inaokind t!•e rlou•Ii of ignorance. Undur the in:isk of vir- Itie they affect a stern morality, that shuddera at female d-gravity, and delights in male wickedness. murality-mongers, devoted to the purse of the Treasury, cover the acquitted Queen with all the beautiful and chaste epithets their knowledge afr•rrds or their ingenuity cin invent. They mea se•e imp,' crimes by the standard of interest, and hick is white or white black with them—an object cl• hatred or admiration as it proceeds from the powerless or the powesful. What can be Or she give is their great question : if the Royal person ire powerless, criminality files on the character—if powerful, tern vice becomes a virtue. One of these sycophants declared. that the Soverrigns of Eng. isnd cannot sin; hut one of our best po.:ts did not p.rufess this creed. lie describes the Court of Ar. shot as the circle of virtue, and admits, that since kw time a change had taken place. Thus sings the poet, ind I.Jets, it has been said, succeed best in fiction:— •' The■ Courts of Kings were held in high renown, Ere made the common brothels of the town. There virgins honourable vows raveled, But chaste as maids is mona►teries he'd. The King himself, to nuptial ties a stair, No bad example to his poets gave." Nought has been more injurious to society than these interested cries of licentiousness and blab !Amy—nought is mare injurious s to loyalty than the ►ite epithets heaped upon the Queen ; many of the attributes of royalty are like the beautiful plu. wage of the butterfly—a slight touch will destroy the which no art con restore. These are not days in which the exposure of Majesty tends to incre.ise its strength; nor ■re they its true friends who, blind to the errors of one party, aggravate the wroni,es of the ot her. It is high time fur the people to turn their eyes to the condition of the country— @ Loudition which soon will be irreparable, if they do out, with steady hand, arrest the ills. Every day brings Hew c.ilinnity with it; and the omits of the people inciesse with the increase of the necessi ties of the Guyer 1111 l ent. " There is something rot ten in the State of Denmark," and it is wise to check its progress before it reaches the heath— ( Ilse Alfred.) and Mr. Gregory, Under Secretary of State. By this correspondence it appear+, that Dr. Engtand had discovered, through the Means of a man who was about to expiate his offences by a public execution, and swim afterwards suffered the list dreadful sentence of the law, that there were certain peasants in the county of Cork who had secreted arms. Mt visited those infatuated persons, and his exhortation, had such un ttleet ofmn them, that they agreed to give up their arms, provided they were saved harmless from the consequences. This circumstance he commu nicated to the lord Lieutenant, and he received a reply from 3lr. Gregory (tile Under Secretary), re questing that Dr. England should put himself in cominustiests MI with some of the resident magi strates of the district, in order that the arms should he torretnlered with all the formality pre scribed by the Inv. Doctor England replied; that the inliormation hr had received was communicated under the sanction of confession, and that he could not,. of coarse, comply with the, part of the letter ; he intimated, however, if we understand the dolt of his letter rightly, that he should be able to get up the arms 011 the promise that the magistracy should remain ignorant id the ottensisrs. " We know not Inc this affair terminated, yet we csoutot h ut lament that a form, which we pre- Plante M". Gtrgory is of opinion that he cannot vio late, shall lie found Io contraveue an arrangement to which every rational and moderate Maui most feel willing it/ give his sauctiose. We hope awl trust that to smell au arrangement recourse will still be had, and That the deluded men will be induced, without the apprelto,.sinii of cruise /111 , 41 er,, to d.

" Tle-re is, however, u:ie consideration that arises from this ci.cnint•tittice which, we think, is passed over too liglttiv—lamely, the little confidence, or rather the hostility which prevails bet ern the su perior and the hover ranks of such ty its Ireland ; and yet this con.itierieroto is Ity far the most iu►- pnrtant feature iti the subject. Much may be at. tril►ute;l to ignurancc—ti great deal to the prover blisl credulity of the Irish prinstitry—sninething, perhys, to tlu-tr insoloorditiote habits, and mitre to thin. 1 1r..indict'.

" We do not choose to follow the subject into the inferences to ulach these premises would lead. It 14 runt h flat we can exemplify the Ito-anon by the very case In- fore mitt. !fere are men who have guile astray, who have seized arms, and who are lioarthog them, fir the porpro.e, when they think an opportunity shall creur, of using them against the politic peace.

LON DON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER U, 1820. it has been long said of us by foreigners, that we are a most incomprehensible people, and verily well might it at the present moment be affirmed of at least that portion of the nation who have under taken to assure their Sovereign that all the rest of his subjects are a licentious, seditious, and blasphemous set of fellows—that the country is at prevent Ull the eve of a dangerous rebellion—hut that thry, the moral. the loyal, aura the pious, will perftnin miracles in his defence. These seniiinents have, as we understand, been repeated sixty times by certain sung little coteries of the retainers and followers of the rt tainers of the Ministers ; but where the parties met to deliberate piton the di,- gets this* threaten the rountry, by what evidence they were intl•iciteed in formitig their verdict against the characters or the nlafs of the illation, by what authority they were controrti, how their business was conducted, and hoar they pen has yet reicured to unfold. The Poet who &lard, What is there in a name ?" was judicious in addressing his argument to lovers' ears, for those who ate not abstracted from worldly affairs are but tot sensible of the weight and import. mice that belong to mere names in the ordinary concerns of life. The words " Loyal Address" sound well and read well, and for the muss of mankind whit more is iireess4ry ? Du they not imply that the persons who propose, and sign, and applaud such Addresses, are alone blessed with the gift of loyalty, while they hurl a bitter sarcasm upon all who despise such mummery, or are not so fortunate as to be let into the secret, until the (;u -setts asumutices that the lithe fur annexing signa tures is past? The names of the cities, tawny, vil lages, hamlets, oral parishes, honounthly•datin. guislied in She Coterie as having giv!!z layllijo a se Loyal Address," appear with fully as much pomp • and effict mu if every inhabitant thereof bed sane. tinned the Address with his signatdre. The de luded world, in reading Out the ishabitants of Manchester, or Warrington, or Bristol, or Birming ham, or the...ward of Cheap, have severally trans. milted what are whimsically called " Loyal Ad dresses" to iloe Secretary of State for the Home Department, are not to be supposed to know how each Address was concocted, how carefully it was secluded from the vulgar eye, and shewn only to the select, the sacred few," whose concurrence in the sentiments contained in it was previously assur ed by their patents of office, the services of some near relatives, or by their own or their friends' hopes and expectancies. The Courier threatens, abso lutely threatens to publish the names of the sixty Addresses; perhaps it may also gratify us with a peep at the signatures annexed. We will venture to affirm, that the publication will not occupy many of its columns; a thousand or twelve hundrtal names be compressed into a very small space. Theiworld, however, as we have already remark ed, i not to know but that the several Addresses, as autiounced in the Gime fle, proceed bored fide from the initiority of the inhabitants of the pile's respectively whose names they bear; and when foreigners look to the numbers of the Addresses, and see such dreadful denunciations of dangers ex pressed in them, they must regard our deplorable condition with mingled horror and sympathy.— Nor will their fetliogs be unmixed with wonder at the profound wis.loin of those who, i❑ the midst of tranquillity, can descry alarm, and extract from an enthusiasm of joy the assurance of approaching, calamity. They will cast their eyes over the whole extent of the empire, arid observe the deportment of the people, and in every instance will they find ft peaceable demeanour, a respectful obedience to the laws, and a devoted affection towards the Royal Faintly. Cum; wring 111101 propped with the re presentations tout lined in the " Loyal Addresses," they must conclude that we are indeed an extraoe dinar), people : far at the very moment when all the exclusively Inval ■re assuring the KING that the elements of relw!lion ere in activity around hitt, endangering his auntie and the safety of his persaii, and while his Majesty's :atui•ters encourage such declarations, and re ceive those who utter them as the only friends to the KING and the conititution, not one instance of popular commotion has occurred. not an incident can he pointed oat which could be misconstrued by the most depraved 'Fury understanding into an evidence of the wishes of the people to disturb the existing institutions; those districts which were some time since regarded as approaching rapidly to a state of open insurrection, are now tranquil and composed; ■ud yet the world is to believe, on the authority of some blockheads, who are ashamed or afraid to encoiroter open discussion, that these symptoms of peace and harmony are all fallacious, • and that notwttlistanding the peaceable demeanour of the great body of the people, the aka.,..,e.ere of any disposition to not, or to oppose the auth o rity and execution of the laws, and their ready submission on (-very occasion to the exercise of lawful power, they ate yet prepared to rise en mane, emit the throats of these poor trembling '" loyalists," sub vert the throne, and effect a revolution ! Itia very easy for those who affect to talk of fu ture dangers, and who know that they are address iog the ears of willing uuditora, to indulge in some general declamation, to talk about sedition that they never witnessed, and about blasphemy that they never heard, and to prate about the influence of " it licentious press," which they are as incapable of estimating as of controlling. Bat we now openly defy these addressers, their encourageis and abet tors, these libellers of their country's fame, to spe cify any one act of the people in any one city, til lage, or hamlet in the empire, which can fairly be construed into an indication of a revolutionary in tent. If the Ministers or their addressers could bring themselves to speak the truth, they would isknogledge that there has been no act of sedition committed by any portion of the people beyond condoling with the QuEEN while exposed to the rigour of ministerial persecution, and congratulat_ tug her MAJESTY upGii her eventual triumph. To these c r )we should probably add, the inure re cent guilt of humbly requesting the KING to (bite such Ministers front his counsels for ever. If the Ministers ur their agents call specify any act of treason or sedition in tiny portion of the people be yond what we have now mentioned, we shall consent to consider the " Loyal Addresses" as necessary, the frumers of them as wise, trralwritle, and disin terested, and the Editors of the Triasury Journals as honest wad loyal men. Paris Papers of Friday last arrived yesterday at our office. Those of Saturday bail arrived pre viously. From these we learn that the Conferei;ces which were comineoced at Troppau sill be itnine. diately trausferird to Vienna, where the Emperor of lttissts will continue as the guest of his Imperial Ally unlit the result shall he known of the diplo. rustic mission with which the Coact BELI.EGARDE has heel) intrusted to the Court of Naples. The na ture of the propositions or cooditious which this military diplomatist is authorised to lay before the Cabinet of Naples still remains unknown ; but recording to the Constitution of Naples, the pro positions, if they relate to public cuuctrus, must be submitted by the Government to the Parliament of Naples; so that but little time can elapse Wore we shall be informed of the result of the deliberations at the Congress of Truman. We entertain but little doubt that the character of the propositions is essentially conciliatory, for the safety of Naples, at least from the aggressions of Austria, is too nearl) connected with the general welfare of Europe to be exposed by the Governments of Great Britain and France to the merciless ambition of that grasping Power.

A upliesuoir was also made to the Governor of Barbadnes fir a rein forcement of troops to quell any Insurrection that might again chew itself.
