SI 4-1 t is agreed on all bands that the state of the country is most alarming. Even the Opposi tion lit Parliament admit the fact, though they differ Trour his Majesty's Mit'iiters in the specific rerredies.ro be applied. At such a season—fraught with so litany perils and difficolries—the obvious duty of. every good citizen is to give support to th e Government, and to cause the Legislature ro be obeyed. 'rinks% this he done, all that was horti , l and appalling. in the French Revolution will be acted over again in this country. Yes, cmire.3 will prodore rr;ittildr effects ; and scaffolds, blood, and ruin will be our lot, from one end of the loud to the other.

Let no- ask, is it not wisdom to pot down vio- !erlce by loice, tier} to repress cedidon by the ? tion g Arm of the law ? And surdy, if npon cxpe- i.nent , it be that the existing laws are i!l:l(!tqprite to grapple efl . .•ct 'laity with the drinirect ed ,nit seditious„ is it not the very acme of w i s d om to part Tiro tempore xvillt some of our liberties tur the pertn.ment boocti of the ‘vhole % And yet, such iS (lie linaCCOMifaMe St ithbOrtilleSS of a certain party in P.trliatrent—t6mk fle,ven they are so insi,,z nificant—that they ptoL;nosticate the death of the twistirntino, if it he sohjected to that treatment which, in point of trot', rogsesses not only the rofiserydtive hut tl:c revivifyin',„; principle.

And I ant bold enough to aver, that his Alaiesty'4 Ministers not only speak well, i>• it they act well. It i s most asiuredly deserving of notice that ccitain north country Members of Parliament r,hotild blue held the langnage in Parliament, which is inspired to them by the public press ; for rutty of the observations uttered in the house are strangely at varisoce with facts. One Honoura ble (ii , ntleman—because he is ignorant of the fact —takes upon him roundly to assert that he is sure the Mayor of Newcastle has been imposed olio!) in the information be has received, because there is no vdlage within six or seven miles of New , castle that can turn out so great a number as 700 men capable of hearing arms. Those locally cc :painted wirli the neighboorbood, however, know to the contrary. And exclusive of one village, the vic:nages of several of the great collicries—all within the prescribed distance--could easily pour out a I it - ger force. pretend not to better information than my neighbor:l . s,bn; this I will declare :—A day or two s ig., I was in cooversation ‘lith a gentleman of Eueat tespectability belonging to Newcastle, and Ire told the that one of the Radicals stated to him tha. lie (the Radical) had attended the meeting on Newcastle town-moor, and tliat he Went thi ther Attract)! Thus, Our of their own mouths N hal! they be convicted. Bit, alas' one of tire unfor t:inate signs of the times is a disposition to abuse 811,1 degrade authority. Hence the vituperative urtacks recently levelled at an individual who is as indefaiigable in the discharge of: his duty--and ill:scum. and troublesome cnott4h it is, under ex isting circumstances—as lie is anxiously desirous of maintaining in tranquillity the public peace.— It is pretended that because no arms %vete seen cm the individuals at the meeting, they therefore, in point of tact, were not armed. There is a shallowness in this reasoniug, however, that de feats its object. It was not likely, it the men were provided with arms (and it should always Ire borne in mind that the flavor of Newcastle, in Isis letter to Lord Str)raount, says, " it my infor nullion is correct," such is the fact), that they would commit tire indiscretion of displaying them, whether they were pistols, daggers, or whatever else. Such has been the address with which the nets of sedition have been spread, and such the poi sonous influence of the irreligious and blaspher.v mit tracts of the day, that the minds of the lower erdcrs have been depraved beyond all conception. Ti.at such is the melancholy state of things in this district, I ant informed by individuals com petent to speak to the matter, from (he almost daily intercourse they hold with the poor deluded Creatures. Morality and religion are, iu truth, the only basis of the happiness and dignity of the human lace. Regardless of the one, and spurn ing the other, Alan commits excesses one shud ders to think ot.

IVe received this morning the Paris Papers of Thursday last. Those of Friday which were due have not arrived. The Muniteur contains a Royal Ordo;mance, by which the KING appoints M. RAvhz President of the Chamber of p uties. This appointment was notified to the Chamber on Wednesday, when a scrutiny was proceeded in for the election of four Vice-Presidents. The arne difficulty occurred with regard to obtaining an absolute majority as in the case of chnsin;, , , the Candidates for the President's Chair, it being ne cessary to resort to three mutinies. 'The result was, that 3.1. M. LUNE, COURVOISIRR, BELLART, and DE ViLLELE, were elected Vice-Presidents.— The Chamber adjourned till Thursday,. when the nomination of Secretaries, &c. was to be proceed ed in. All these forms are to be gone through before the KING'S ~t►eccl► is at all taken into eon sideration.—'l'he following are extracts : " PART., D,ec.l},—The King yesterday hell a Coi►ncil of Ministers.

The rn mom, luowever, requires confirmation. ",There is a talk of an intro, rd marriage be tween the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-d'Este, and a Princess of Bavaria." We have seen with much surprise, the state ! ment in The Morning Chronicle, of the recently extensive sales out of the English Funds, and purchases into those of the French Government. We were scut deep enough in Radical secrets to have been privy to soch a fact, neither have we any means of ascertaining its truth :—we could not, however, have made it public, !Hess hr lan guage of the strongest reprobation, nor ern we now notice it without our most indignant cert. sorr. Our opinion has uniformly been, that per sons of larger wealth and higher station that the wretches who are suffered—or ordered— , o figure away at the head of the Radical Conspiracy, have at once its secret and its management ; and we can not wonder that they should desire to remove their property how the confusion which they an ticipate with more ptivity than foresight. They may reckon also on the chances of confiscation at borne, as well its of security abroad. Wi , l) theme , men, however, our present business is not. We addreiis ourselves to the fearful but well-meaniug Capitalists, who, by selling out of their Country's Foods, substantiate a groundless terror, and ve rify a falge alarm ; who enlarge the evil wrich they lament, and create the mischief which they dread. These men should remember how essentially they derogate from their Country's honour, horn her rank attrong the Nations, from her eonfilence, and from her stability. There cannot be 4 pound sold out of the public stock, for its transfer into foreign fund, which does not prove its owner's fear and doubt of one or other of these events— that Britain is tillable to pay her debt, or that a successful rebellion will cancel it wiih a single blow : Why this, indeed, were frugal honcity, " A thrifty saving knowledge ; that, when the debt " fjrows trouhlesome, and ciunitit he discharged, " A SYUNat atfl wipu out all, ;mil cost you nothing." —Britain insolvent !---Sire must then be made so lay the selfish fears of her own pecplc 'tail) dishonest !--She must then be made so by their violence.—To accomplish either of these purposes were is difficult machination !---her rt bell hare boldness enough, but they want the poi.ver : they must extract it front the fears of her loyal subjucts. Honest cowardice must be led along, or driven along, by frandful impudence.—Are our Countrymen aware that the tevolutioning of Britain is but a part of the grand scheme ?—That the subversion of her particular state would be the signal, as it is intended for the maths, of Etirope's general confusion ?—That to Britain alone Europe stands indebted for the general safety ?----That it Britain had been what her Radi cals want to make her, there had been no At k in the Deluge ?—That the Ark must be broken op, before the Deluge can again cover all with men, who can deliberately impair—Nhether for what selfish alarm or selfish profit—their Coon try's resource , „.and increase tho,e of a iOreignSiate, prudence is bett ‘ er appealed unto than principle. Therefore, we have warned , them, how much the security of even the State which they are trusting, depends on the security of Britain. And, thete tore, ►ve say, that when Britain shall once he un able or unwilling---ton at which—to put down domestic rebellion, 6h e wjl otter no further re sistance against foreign Revolution.—Where, iu that event, will be the secinity of those Funds whizlt they prefer—let the annala of French Ra dicalism instruct them. We have now applied to their loyalty, to their courage, and to their wis dom.-1f these motives fail, argument is at au end.

We submit to our Readers this clay the further proceedings in the Court of Chancery, on Thurs.. day last, respecting a very extraordinary Case, of the utmost importance to all persons who have legitimate heirs to their property.—The statement will be found its another part of our Paper.—SVe gave an account of this Case in THE Sust of the 20th of last January, to which we have referred, as vv@ hardly conceive that more extraordinary Et ansac tions in subjects of this nature ever came heforo the notice of the Public. The Case is simply as follows :—RonenT KNIGHT, formerly, we believe, a Member of Parliament, in the year 1791, married FRANCES DORMER, the Sister of Lord DORMER, by whom he had issue one Son, since deceased, and two Daughters, now In the year 1804, on account of some differences between Mr. KNIGHT and his Wife, they sepa lrared,'and have not since cohabited together. A. deed 01 separation was executed, by which lie allowed her 800/. per antrum for her separate use, and ever since that period they had lined wholly apart from each other. It is stated,ohat on • the 7111 of October, in the year 1813, Mrs.NN:Gurc was delivered of a male child *, that she had him. b- , Frizrd in the parish chervil of Sto Mary-le- Boone on the 21st of May, 1814, by the name of her husband, and who is now known by the name of liEutty CHARLES KNIGHT. It appears that a Winer) Haters FRANCES Hoer resided as a servant with Mrs. DrenAy (who had the care of the infant • front his birth) to louse this child. This woman, in an aft:lavit made upon a former occasion, dee dared, t hat while she was in such service, t dies and an chiefly Geotleman (who were repre sented to be the child's ruothcr, aunt, and ouch . ) oome frequently to visit him,—that he was chri'ot netted on the day above-mentioned, and that tho mother, aunt, and supposed untie, were pre sent at the ceremony ; and the witness s ta.. ed, that she afterwards discovered that Ore Ladies represented to be the Mother and Ann', were Mrs. hNIGIIT, and her Sister Mrs. Poror- MAN, and that the elderly Gentleman was Lord Mrocreezost. Such is the simple ()while of t h is case. It is difficult to supposetthat Lord Mronee ! ToN, who is said to he a very wealthy Noblernao. shot!,) have assisted in obt roiling a suppositions upon Mr. KNIGHT, as no pool appears that any intercourse between that Gen t lematt and his Wife had ever taken place since their separation, and then, by , to give the child in qta's tioo an opportunity of depriving Mr. KNIGHT's two daughters and his toothier of their fug inheritance. It is another of the extraordie Daly features of this case, that, whoever was the lather of the child, as the mother assumea the name of JORDAN, she did trot have rite in- Not christened under that name, anti not thus place him in a situation to ote rude himself into the property of her husband. We cannot hut wood( r that , Lord MIDDILTON has not indicted II:13 FRANCLIS IloeT for perjury, if site has falsely sworn, in order to clear his own character from so foul a charge as that of being im plicated in so wicked .a transaction. But we lirestoue that it is still his Lordship's intentiors to adopt , such a measure, in order that the w holcs truth may be developed, and his conduct ftdiF vindicated in the eyes of mankind. not as clic 'limier is still pending, it would be improper in Its to make any coMment on the sobject. It must., however, he satisfactory to the world at large, as well as to the parties so deeply intercstea in the investi.gation of the case, to foot that it submitted to the LoNo CHANCRI.I.O.II, who i 6 Imown to be scrupulously anxious in the discharge of his important duties, %nil() is no respecter of persons when truth and right are concerned , and Whose•ditei!,inn w ill, therefore, he founded oa' the most conscientious. retard to_jost Uhtler the n., iii of ,TuitDAN, represeati% herself aS wif4, of a Captain JuabAs.

The preparations which 'fu s e been making by the Magistrates and Miritaty Commanders have increased the anxiety. Works for defence have been elected at the different bar racks; those in Salford, near the New Bailey, which consist of the la7e Lying-in Hospital and the adjoining premises, have attracted particular notice ; they are protected on the east side by the river lrwell, and on the west by the New Bailey prison. The north and south ends were open, but within ttiese few days deep trenches have been dog at each end, and breast-works formed of earth, .hozh in great -casks anal loose. A field piece is also to be placed at each entrance. The Committee itt aid of the Civil Po,ver sits Depotations from the Committee have been in iiiireient pros of the town, taking the names of voi , ng men % , :ho are to acttunas tinder the Watch and Ward Act ; the arms are fornialicd by the Police, and consist of pistols, pikes, and sabres.

Whether the expected danger is to come b y Clay or by night, we cannot tell.
