This is an alarming fact if well founded, for it skews that the Papists have employed all the means in their power, either of intimidation.or corruption, to ac complish their point. But what is still more alarming, it is stated in the same Paper, that " the majority of the Cabinet is favourable to 'heir Claims;" adding, that " they have the sa t;'slaction of knowing the Chief Secretary of the Lord Lieutenant is not only their zealous friend, but their able advocate." We have before noticed the arts which have been practised open Mr.G RANT, and the adulation which has beets lavished upon that Gentleman, in order to ensnare him into some declaration in favour of their cause, but we have witnessed With us itch pleasure the guarded caution with which he has always answered,them ; for he has constantly avoided committing himself in any manner that could justify them in supposing that he is really Is iendly to their cause. He has ex pressed in general terms, and doubtless with so lemn sincerity, Isis zeal for the welfare of Ireland, but has most sagaciously forborne to touch upon the Roman Catholic Claims. It was lately grated in one of the Opposition Journals; that seven Members of the Cabinet are in favour of the Papists, and a Provincial Paper of this Country even ventured to ' insinuate that " the 'PRINCE REGENT 111111 Sell is sincerely desirous (though be does not openly express his wishes). of the ad mission of their Claims." IVe will not inquire how the Paper in quesrion became so well ac quainted with the secret wishes of the PHINce RE GENT ; but the world need not be told of the af fectionate reverence which his Royal Highness bears to his revered Father, in whose name and by ► whose authority he has so gloriously raised the Military Character of the Nation, and to whose religious principles, founded upon the sacred basis of the CORONATION OATH, his Royal Highness will doubtless feel himself conscien tiously bound to adhere. The subject, as we have said, is of vital importance to the Em pire, and therefore we heartily rejoice in stating that many distinguished Members of the Church, knowing that THE Sus will always be a free channel for their efforts in support of our Ecclesiastical Establishment, have promised us a zealous, strenuous, and persevering co-operation, WESTMINSTER ELEcTiom.—Yesterday a Dinner was given to Mr. lloationsa by many of the Electors of the Parishes of St. James and St• Anne, at the Crown and Anchor. A Mr. ADAMS was the Chairman. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT sat on his right hand, and Mr. HoanousP. on the left. Mr. HOBHOUSE was the chief Speaker, and, as usual with all Candidates who court popularity, he was very liberal in professions and (monists. As a proof of the political principles of the Com pany, " The Marseilluis Hymn," the great symbol of Revolutionary triumphs, horror and carnage, was twice sung, " amidst the loudest shouts of applause." Surely such a Person as a Major in the British Service, who *as present, ought to have recollected the dreadful events which occurred in France at a time when this An them of Anarchy first deafened all loyal ears, and outraged every humane heart ! ! Among the toasts was the following--" May the ROYAL FAMILY never lorget that they owe their Legitimacy to the voice of the People." It is no unfair construc tion of this toast, retelling to the character of the Meeting, and the principles of the leading parts of the company, to conclude that it implies, that the . Royal Family should depend on Annual Elections nod Universal Sufrage. The rest of the toasts .and sentiments were all in favour of persons who are likely to maintain si milar doctrines ; and the Meeting altogether was a mere detnocratical Festival, which affords an other proof of the freedom of the Country in which such Assemblies are held without impedi ment, though calculated to corrupt the minds of the People. Harnithrgh and Dutch Mails, with intelligence to the 23d instant, have arrived. The King of FRANCE has allowed the return of another of the Ex-Genetals to France ; Marshal SoULT and AaNAL , D are also, it is presumed, "on the eve of beiog both re-called ; and, in short, it seems'br lieved that the remainder of the Itevolutionists and Napolrouists now exiled in Europe Will he legitimatised by the new era of the Coronation. Count Las CAsAi, profiting by this spirit of am nesty, has pnidished an Appeal to the British Parliament, to induce them - to listen with more complacency to the complaints of BIIoNAPARTE, and, by allowing that personage to reside free, either in the United Kingdom or North America. to deltver him for ever from the surveillance of Sir HUDSON Lows !—Acconnts from St. Peters burgh, of the 30th ultimo, mention, that the lint peror ALENANDstt was expected there in four or five days.

It will be recollected, tliat in the QUEEN'S Will two lists were referred to, which, however, did not appear. The Executors in the so' joiot d Declaration, filed yesterday in the proper Coin t, explain the cause of this omission : Appeared pet sonally the Right Hon. Charles George Lord Arden, and Herbert Taylor, of Windsor, in the county of Berks, Esq., and being duly sworn to depose the truth, made oath that they are the Executors named in the last will and testament of her Most Excellent Majesty Charlotte Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland deceased, hearing date the 16th day of November, in the year of one Lord MS. And the appearer, Herbert Taylor, for himself saith, that immediately after the execntistn of the said will by her said Most Excellent Ntajesty, it was delivered to hint for safe custody; and he thereupon sealed up the same, in the presence of her said Majesty, in an envelope, from which it bad been taken for the purpose of being executed as afore said ; and the said will remained so sealed up in his posses sion until the death of her said Majesty, which happened on Tuesday, the 17th day of November, 1818. And both the appearers for themselves, that on the following day, to wit, the IStli day of the said month of November, the said will was opened and read by them ; and they then observed the following clauses, in the seventh page of the, said will, viz. —" Having brought from Mecklenburg various property, as specified in the List No. I, annexed to this my last will and testament, it is my wish and desire, and my last will and pleasure, that such property shall revert to the house of l i Mecklenburgh-Strelitz . , and I direct that it shall be sent back to the senior branch of that house." " I give and bequeath, as specified in the list No. 2, an nexed to this my last will and testament, to be paid out of the value of my persoual property within six months after my death." • And they further make oath, that no list of property, as stated to be annexed to the said will, under the mark No. 1, or any list of bequest, also stated to he annexed, under the mark No. 2, were found annexed to the said will, or contained in the envelope in which the said will was enclosed, as aforesaid. And the appearcrs further make oath and say, that they have carefully looked over and in spected the papers left by her said Most Excellent Majesty, and that no such lists as those referred to in the said clauses have been discovered or found by them, or either of them ; and they do verily and in their consciences believe, that no %Lich lists were ever prepared by her said Majesty ; and tha t she died without preparing the same, though it is within the hnowledge of the appeaser, Herbert Taylor, that her said ' Majesty had signified her intention to prepare the lists so re ferred to in the said clauses, under the marks No. 1 and No. 2, and to have annexed them to the said will, so as to have formed part thereof. The 6th day of January, 1819, the Right Hon. Charles George Lord Ardrn, and Hurbert ARDEN. Taylor, Es►l.. were dilly sworn to the truth H. TAYLOR, of this Attidavit. B e f ore m e , S. B.

Fine Barley •was rather more in request, there being more en viry after and better sale for malt. Foreign Beans are selling rather freely, the great reduc tion in the price of that article having brought many country buyers, who have taken offa consi derahle quantity. KING'S THE ATRR.-This Theatre opened last night, and exhibited a very brilliant interior, the House having been painted and adorned in a very elegant manner since the close of last season. The Opera last night was L'ltaliana The 'Plot is by no means uninteresting, and the niusic was appropriate and pleasing. Madame BeLLocut appeared to great advantage in Ilia Heroine. AMBROGETTI displayed all his usual spirit and humour. Signor PLAuct, the new bass singer, is an acquisition. He and GARcIA were much applauded. The Ballet was Zephir, or Le Retour du Printem. A very numerous and brilliant audience received the whole with great applause. Miss O'NEILL—As this Actress has billy vin dicated herself, in the Letters which we inserted yesterday, from the charges which seem to have originated merely in private malevolen:7e, it is to he hoped that she will not 'again be the object. of such attacks, as her personal character is as de servedly esteemed tor go, , d sense and unaffectel affability, as her talents are admired by the public at large. Yesterday, nhout one o'clock, the Duke of YORK. arrived at his. house in St. James's Palace, from his visit to the Earl VERIJLAM, near Sr. Alban's. Soon after three o'clock his Royal.
