SHORT QUERIES, ADDItESSF,D TO PEERS MEMBERS OF PAR LIAMENT AT THE PRESENT JUNCTURE. Question. What is primarily necessary for the security of any Government or Constitution ? Answer. Evidently, that ail who preside, counsel, or legislate in it, should be attached to it, and dech °us of its permanence. Q. How can the•v be attached toe Constitution, Ivho think that it establishes error, and provides f(0. the certain damnation of the majority of the people ?—A. They cannot possibly be attached to it in that point of view. Q. Can they be attached to it in other respects? —A. Yes, they may. Q But with respect to that part which establishes a Religion odious to them, what must be their feeling ?—A. They must in conscience wish to ,change it, and think themselves bound in duty to take every measure possible for such a purpose. Q. Can it be injustice to exclude from pre siding, counselling, -or legislating, persons who must unavoidably have such feelings ?—A. So far from injustice, it is a point of necess.iry prudence, and an act of folly to do otherwise ; if it be de sirable to preserve the Constitution unchanged. Q. Is not this exactly the case with respect to the Roman C•tholies, under this Prutest ant Con stitution )—A. Precisely. And for this reason cur wise ancestors determined, by law, that neither the King, his Counsellors, nor those who legis late in Parliament, should ever be Roman Ca tholics. Q. Would it be wise to abrogate that law ? A. Not in those who have the slightest regard for the Protestant Religion. Q. Is it depriving men of any proper franchise, to take front them the means of doing a particu• lar and great mischief ?—.l. Certainly not. Were there any men who haed the arts, could it be Nvrong to exclude them from being Directors of the Royal Academy or I3ritish Institution ? Q. Would the case of the Protestants be the same, under a Popsh Government ?—A. No. Be cause the Protestants do not think the Roman Citholic Religion dainnable to those who sin cerely believe it. Q Do the Roman Catholics allow AO much to the Protestants ?—A. Far from it ; they confider their religion as heresy, and ate bound to think it nbsolutely damnable. Q Is there any reason, then, to change the Jews which exclude them from Government and Legislation ?—A. None whatever ; but the ctrongust possible reason against it, that of self preservation. Q. Does not Lord GREY'S motion go to change those laws in a most essential point ?—A. Be yond all doubt. WICRLIFF. LONDON JOURNALS. !ROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [New Times ] We have received Accounts of the most gratis. fying description from Italia, where the beneficial results of the policy adopted by the Marquess of Basting, develope themselves daily, with more striking evidence. The following extract of a letter from a judicious and intelligent obqervcr will be perused with much pleasure by our Readers : " CALCUTTA, Dec 28.—Rajpootana is rapidly Improving. The inhabitants, since we have given them protection, are flocking back to their villages, and repairing their towns, most of which had been in a great measure destroyed by Meer Khan, and the Pindarries. The sod ift excellent, and the peasants are cultivating it tvith great animation. It is delightful to see them, when a detachment of British troops marches near their villages. They come out in a body, invoking; blessings on our officers and men, and bringing offerings of milk, grain, &c. saying, take all that we have— we now feel the comfor►s of security, and can readily gain a livelihood by our labour, without f/+, 01:. in►petltnient.' The .t.- --- / urrea territories is getting in well. The Commis sa ri a t expellees of the late war are comparatively no thing. Ou this point the personal experience and knowledge of the Governor-General has dune wonders. His arrangements have produced au economy truly surprising. For the whole Beiv4al force employed, the Commissariat has only c ,, s t twenty-five lacs of rupees. The Army of the Deliken abtiot as morio_ Both together fifty lacs, a slim, which, in former times, theGrain contractors alone would have shared as profit on their contracts. It is a remarkable fact, that all these expences have fallen far short of the esti mates made beforehand by the Accountant-Ge t:era'. " Appa Saheb ii still lurking about the hills With i few Goands, who have been defeated in a numbur of petty affairs. Measures are taken to insure the capture of this once potent Sovereign , as soon as :l i e weather becomea favourabl e for field operations, which will be by the end of this month, or beginning of the next."

THE SUN. lOLEM (jUIS DICCHE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1819. THE FUNDS.-THE LOAN. Before nine o'clock this morning, the Royal Exchange and Stock Exchange were crowded with company, anxious to hear the terms upon which the Lonn had been taken. The Gentle men who were to bill for it were to meet the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER at ten o'clock ; at that hour business commenced, and Consuls for the Account opened at 70i. The Loan Contractors returned about half -past ten, when it was announced that Mr. Roms- CHILD was the fortunate bidder; the Omniorn was then done at par, it afterwards rose to 11 Premium, and at 12 o'clock was at par; it then ;ell to 1 per cent. discount, recovered to one-halt per cent. discount, and at one o'clock was 1 per cent. discount.—Consols fell to 6811, b ut afterwards recovered to G 9, and again tell to 661. Upon the taking of a new Loan those fluctua►ions are customary, as it gives the Subscribers to the other Lists and the Public an opportunity of purchasing. The opinion of the moni e d men is, that ()lithium will be considerably better; as no new Stock can be created until the sth of July next, to which day the Commissioners will continue to take their usual quantity of Stock off the Market. The fol lowing is a correct statement of the biddings, front which it will be seen that there is near three per cent. difference in the sums offered. Reduced. N ROTHSCHILD, Esq. L.62 18 8 RICARDO and Co REID and Co The only alteration made from the original proposition of the Cm/kr:cu.Loa of the EXCHE aucx, was in the day for paying the second in stalment; it was represented that the 16th was set tling. Way, and tiirrer ,, ns. the 2%1 ‘2f Juty was agreed (Ton. It was lib ewise arranged, that the Exchequer Bills should be received at the Bank instead of the Exchequer Office. The Commissioners were this morning served in Re duced, part at 64, and the remainder at 684. Hulf-post One o'Clock. Coniols for the Account are 09—Orunium l per cent. discount. The Market looks better. We receired this morning the Paris Papers of Sunday last.. In the Chamber of Deputies on Sa» turday, the discussion was continued through the Sitting on that part of the projet respecting the Estimates for the service of 1819 comprising the Widget of the Dep<trtment of the Marine mid Colonies, and was adjourned till Monday. The following are extracts : " Nats, JUNE G.—The letter of the Bishops to the E'ope has been finally adopted ; it was signed the 29th ult, by upwards of 40 Prelates, including three Cardinals. " The Belgian Journals state, that General Rouil:6, M. 51. Niuctle, Ma:bieu, and Leclerc, Nil Ex-Conventionalists, residing in I3ol:iitn, have received permis,ion to return to France. " The Duchess d'Angouleme is perfectly re covered. " From l'ilnrseilles, the 29th ult•, it is stated, The Plague which had manifested itself or; board a vessel has ceased, two individuals who were at tacked by the contagion are progressing towards a complete cure, and neither the passengers, the ssilors, nor the health guard manifest any symp toms of the m.dady.'

New York Papers to the 16th Nay, Philadel phia to the 18th, and Boston to the 18► h, arrived this morning. (Front the Philadelphia Paper of the 17th.) Extract of a Proclamation issued by the Revolutionary Chief of St. Luis (County), South America, after the execution of a number of Spanish Officers (prisoners), alleged to have been detected in a murderous conspiracy. " No more hospitality to Spaniards ; they are a dishonour to the human species ; they deserve no more consideration than the wild beasts of the forest." ANNAPOLIS, MAY GRAHAM and his family arrived in this city on Saturday, and yes- terday embarked on board the frigate Congress, Captain HENLY. The British ship Forth, with Mr. BAGOT and family on board, sailed early on Tuesday morning for England. (From a Charleston Paper of the 15th May.) From Port-au-Prince we learn, by the arrival of the brig Aurelia, that a Haytian frigate was fitting out with dispatches to convey Gen. BOYZR and suit to Jeremie, at which place a consider able force had been concentrated, to commence active operations against Coma. (From a Charleston Paper of the 13th May. 'We have seen a Gentleman just arrived from llavannah, who states, that Admiral POPHAM was at that place with three 74's and two frigates ; that he was making arrangements with the Go• vernor for the transfer of the Island of Cuba, which, it was reported, had been ceded to the British Government: A Letter received in this City a few days past confirms the above report, and further states, that implicit faith was put in the rumour, when it was ascertained that it ori ginated from a letter of the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of St. James's, to his friend in Havannah. We copy the following from the Board of the New England Coffee-house:— " BOSTON, MAY 17.—Arrived the ship Crut tendert, from Calcutta, via Isle of France, where she put in in distress, and sailed again 12th Feb. On January 12, lat. 12. IG. South, long. 84. East, experienced a severe gale, which continued until the 19th, and received considerable damage; on the 17th, laying-to under her bare poles, had the decks swept ; on the 20th, bore up for the Isle of France, and anchored in Port Louis on 25th.— The ships in the harbour received considerable damage as well as the houses and plantations.— During the hurricane, a large English ship was totally lost, and most of her cargo ; another was driven on shore and bilged, and several others went on shore. While the Cruttenden was at the Isle of France, the English ship Cochin and Thetis , from Calcutta, (the latter dismasted) cause in in distress, having thrown over part of their cargoes thp abuvc ltsirrica►►c. Al so a Portuguese ship of GOO tons, from Goa, with loss of her masts.— Also a Portuguese and English brig, both front Calcutta, in great distress." We sincerely lament the differences which have arisen between the Government of Canada and the House of Assembly, and which have ob viously proceeded to an alarming extent, as will be found in an article from Quebec Papers, in our first page. We say alarming,, because the American Government have displayed an insa tiable ambition, and nothing would gratify it more than to get possession of Canada. That our Rulers arc fully aware of the danger arising from the differences in question, and the dis position of America, is evident by the naval preparations to which we have before alluded, and which, though not ostentatiously, are actively putsued. But rumours of expected war arc prevalent in many quarters, and none but the shallow, peevish, and ignorant Brawlers of OPPu. SITION would object to those fivanehl meas u r es , which, from all that we have heard, are ren dered necessary, as i:. is essential that we should be prepared for events ‘l,'llich may happen we know not how soon, but whicli, on s everal grounds, may be expected, to disturb the tray' quillity of Lorope. New changes of the Nl' nistry in France are confidently predicted, an d the very uncertain state of its Government, nc )c merely on account of the advanced age and firmitics of the Sovereign, but of the number s of rival Factions which exist in that Kingdotr, render it necessary for all Europe, as well as Oil Country, to be upon the watch, and fully pre pared for consequences. It has been observed in The Morning Herald °f this day, that " no one knows what the Opp” sition would do, if the helm of Government wer e taken from their antagonists and confided 0 them." This is a pertinent observation, for thoug h the Parliatnentary Opponents of Ministers ar e eternally clamouring against the measures r )( Government, they shew nothing like Legislativ e or Financial knowledge themselves. Mr. TutaNEr' who seems to rake the lead, is chiefly distinguished for growling declamation and sneering irony. Ile wai born to banter but not to create, and hi° eternal complaints and tauntings have sunk his character so low, that the people on both sides arc tired of the same dull repetition. When. he was in place he was found wanting il l the balance. lie can for ever object, but he caa never propose. Therefore he is not the proper man to take the lead he the House of Commons , because he is obviously non-efficient in political and legislative resources. As to EA GREY, from his proposed Bill to remove essential bill' warks against the inroads of POPERY, which he deems mere feeble fences, but the proposed re moval of which has evidently excited alarm throughout the country, it is equally obvious that public confidence would not attend him if he were permitted to take the lead in the House of Lords. Thus the observation of the Writer in the sour' nal above mentioned is answered with respect to Mr. TIERNEY ; for every body knows that he could do nothing; but as to Lord GREY, that it his fill were carried he would do too much, and that it would sap the foundation of our present Esta.. blishment in Church and State, and petnaps finally overthrow the whole fabric of our well-tried and unrivalled Constitution. We have now fairly stated what might be expected of Op• position, judging from their two Chief Leaden , what they would do and what they would nut do, " if the helm of Government were taken from their antagonists, and confided to them ;" but we may fairly add, that they would do what they ought to do it they were to follow the oystens founded by the Immortal WILLIAM PITT, by $ firm and persevering maintenance of which our present Rules have saved the Country, and de livered Europe from a military despotism that threatened to become universal. 'We learn, by Letters from Hanover, that their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLa• RENOE quitted that city on the morning of the 17th of May, carrying with them the love, re spect, and veneration of the inhabitants of that city and kingdom. The improved health of the amiable Duchess had again permitted her to ap pear in Society before her departure, but it was evident that a removal to her native air, and a more healthy climate, was imperiously required ; and, indeed, from all that we have heard of the character and endearing qualities of this Princess, we consider her restoration to health and strength as a subject highly interesting and important to this Empire. The same letters in form us that the Royal Duke was in high health and spirits, and that his anxiety for the recovery of his illustrious Consort was the only reason of his not returning immediately to his dear native England ; but as his sole happiness appears cen tred in her welfare, he readily sacrificed his owa comfort to her happiness. Their Royal High nesses s!cpt the first night at Eimbeck, and spent the 18th in viewing the University and antiqui ties of Gottingen. We understand that the re ception given to their Royal Highnesses was every where the most gratifying, and the marks of attachment and respect the most enthusiastic. At Gottingen, the whole students of the Univer sity paraded in the evening, opposite to the [Totel where their Royal Highnesses lodged, with flam beaux and a band of music, chaunting God save he King and Rule Britanniii, and they presented an address of welcome, written in German verse by one of their number, which was most gra ciously received. The loyal Burghers also went through the same ceremony, with the colours of the City Guard, and a more gay scene never was witnessed in that ancient City. The degree of LL.D. was conferred upon the Royal Duke by the University. The Professors were individually presented to the Royal Pair in the saloon of the Library, and all were charmed with the affability 'iL~;l c .3:13 41 le ii fa r ..f a /) tun a cuilt!c rural tic Ili: 'is I tlosp On 0 to!ite ill i I, tin (.) count `Lys ; gr ave 2Gt 11.
