T.' fe AuAtrian _Observer puts forth distinctly the pre tensions of the Cahinel of Vienna upon Naples. Any coun try haring made a change in its Government; Which may be prejudicial to another State, must be induced by neviciat ion, or compelled by force, to return.to the old system. This -doctrine was set up . against Rcrolutionary France. But what was reasonable in that instance, is monstrous in this. France sent forth her furious Propagandists to subvert the frame of society and government - in cit.ly neighbouring na tion, and was, moreover, endued with maniac strength ; but Naples is weal: and studiously inoffensive . . • It is not stared how far the other:Allied Powers have entered into or resisted Ibis course of prticeeding.. [British Press.] 'file Treasury Writers affect to begalled to the quick at the enthusiastic expression of joy which resounds though every part of the, country at. the Queen's glosious triumph. We., say " affect tosbe galled," because we know that these per,. -sons haven() feelings that can he called their own,' and that • they are g:atified or displeased * thrill with delight or glow tvitis indignation , just as their patrons chance to prompt their sentiments. They complain that. in almost every town in the kingdom illuminations and bOnfires have been used to display the ardent feelings of the people,.naturally delighted at the defeat of a base and malignant conspiracy, for such most undoubtedly was the eonspitaey.framed, or at least put activity at Milan, for the purpose of accusing the Queen, and of overpowering her, if ,litissible, by the weight f fak e sweariog. But while the Treasury writers complain' this I,,anifestatipn of public feeling its the Queen's favonr, - t hey endeavour to prove* that the majority of the people did .t concur voluntarily iti" - manifesting. these signs of jun and hone din they proceed. to establi-h their assertion ? .They admit that in almost every town the Magistrates were - hostile to she. Qiieen, and. had endeavoured by ail means in their p , wer to dissuade or discourage the peopy irons illuminatiog. their houses, and then conies the confe.sion, that , notwith standingtlieprobibitionexpressedorimplied of theMag,istuatcs, no , withstanding the reluctance of the msjority of t e Notion to concur in expressing joy at the Queen's deliverance, every tuivu has; nevertheless, been brilliantly illtiminated-some for one and two -nightS,•and some even for three oights.— Now it is very certain 'that some individuals . who might not wish to waste their candles, or put themselves to inconveni ence, or expose their houses to danger in exulting - at the Queen's triumph, may have been compelled against.their with to light a few candles fur the purpose of savi,ng their win dows ; hut what ettrulid and impartial roan wilt atlirai that a general illumination could he forcefitpon trop iiliabitaots of any town in the kingdoms, contrary to the wishes of the Ma gistrfites and of the majority of the people .? The supposition would be absurd. We cannot wonder then - at the displea sure expressed by the Treasnty.Writeri at 011s:distinguished of public opitinin throughout the Kitigdons,-for it proves in tliMOst unequivocal manner how teviiiting to the gene . Sense of the Nation were.the measures pursued against the Queen. [Morning Chronicle.] NW understand that the QueeN has tetitined an'answer to Lot d Liverpool's communication, that " until Parliament shad meet for - 11W dispatch 'of linsinesS; the ,allowance which has hitherto been enjoyed by the Qu3een will be continued to tier ; and that it will then he for Parliattient to determine the rtipearnt of the future provisioo to be grarvted to her Majesty." In'thi; answer, her Majesty, it is sa4l, • informs his Lordship, that so long'as Parliament was sitting, and contrivedat the continuation of the allowahce, granted to her as Princess of Wales, she did not deetn't lie receiving of it inconsistent With her. honour; hut tirst now that Mitli'sters have annourreed -their determination to prorogue Parliament, without pro posing any regular provision fur the due maintenance of her diguity,as,Queen, she no longer feels herself at liberty to re ,cciae any allowance which is not sanctioned by Parliament; and that in taking it Upf)ll (ileillSeires to pay to her either the ain : itinLof her former allowance, 'or any other sum, Without tacit-sanction,' Ministers must be aware that they are acting disrespectfrilly towards her, and in violation of the law. We cahoot but applaud the determination of her Majesty to re= eseiVe nothing front 'Ministers Which has not received the sanc tion of Pailiament ; and to refuse to make herself a party to, Ire to conniveat, the violation of law, which they, in their sys'tem of shifts arid evasions,• are now disposed to commit.— Tire letter is said to ,be drawn up with great ability, and we trast•the advi'serS of her Majesty will deent it necessary to lay it before the jtntrlic. The, country will see front this des er iniiriatind of Ministers to propose no provision for the niain tenanc'e of the .-„ineett's dignity, and to withhold from her a Royal Palace, tleit there is nothing in the, way of ihsult to wards her, which they are disposed to stop at. They did riot dare Itroceed with tkeir Bill of Pains and Pettallies;:but 'thong!) frostraled in their attempt to deprive the Queen of berlegal rights, they are resolved to have recourse to every petty artifice to prevent lice from enjoying them. They are deeply mistaken, however, if they. think that the country will `submit' to thic.s--An Evening Paper tells' us ,•" the itnyal Palaces belong to the Sovereign, and in hint alone is Vested the power of appropriating Alit:ln." 'Vs is idle deckamation. We have nothing to do with th,e, King in this question. The King acts in conformity to Ire advice • given 'him by responsible Ministers. It is the duty of Ministers, in this case; ,to recommend the ap• propriation of 'a•PalaCe to her Majesty. Shriuld Iris Majesty refuse to' attend-tot his recommendation,-Ministers then know - what course they ought to follow. Some curiosity , is excited as to the proceedings on the Meet ing of the two House; p'revious to the Prorogation, on Thurs daynext ; and it has become a matter of speculation whether any Debate van then take place, or airy que , tions he put to the Ministers. The anxiety of the Ministry to avoid any dis cussion before January ;rest has been sufficiently' shown, by their determination to prorogue on t he very day to which the Commons had adjourned ; and the forms of Parliaßent afford heip the means of satisfying theMselves on this score. It is well known that the appearance of the Usher of the Black And at the door of the House of Commons makes a House, so that it is not necessary that the Speaker should have taken the Chair before that Messenger calls for the attendance of the House in the House of Lords. The Commission may he brought dowp to the House of Lords at any hour in the morn ing; and when the tact is stated by the Lord Chancellor, there not being, perhaps, more than two'other Peers in the House, the Lords adjourn to robe, and• immediately on their return, the Lords holding the King's Commission take their seats, and the Usher of the Black Rod is instantly sent to the Cow- MOOS. The Speaker may then at once take the Chair and leave it to folios; the Black Rod. While the Black Rod is ab- Sent on this journey of SO paces, any Peer may put a question in The House of Lords ; but it seems pretty certain, that there -would be neither time nor disposition for the Ministers to give any answer. It therefore does trot appear probable that any discussion will take place in the Lords err Commons ; and the Ministers will lie enabled to oursne, without a question, the . n system of meaty attacks upon the Queen to which they bare resorted since the abandonment of the Bill of Pains and [Morning Post.] The mischievous interitions of the partizonsof our most vir tuous Queen becoine every day more and more Manifest. Yesterday they went so far as to advise her Majesty to take possession of a Royal Palace by force; nay, CM) of the insure-. diate residence of the King himself. The effect of such an ' attempt it is unnecessary for as even distantly to describe; but the motive Iy.wii!cit so atrocious au expedient was dic tated catiuot be gatliciently execrated by every loyal, peace able, and well-disposed subject of the State. But the folly of these wretches is equal to their wickedness. They have the aft witery to say that " the same authority which can tike upon itself to say to the Queen of England, Madam, you are no longer worthy to occupy a Palace,' may say to. the Dukes of Northumberland and Rutland, Your Graces are no longer worthy to to - habit Beivoir or Alnwick castles!' Was there ever any thing soontrageous to reason :is this ? Would it not; on the contrary, be meeting the question immediately and fairly to say—" The same authority which can take, upon itself to say to the Queen of England, Madam, you are no longer worthy to occupy a Palace,' may say to the Duchesses of Northumberland and Rutland, (it they were like the Queen,) your Graces are no longer worthy to in habit. Beivoit or Alnwiek Castles." • Here the cases , being similar, the course of proceeding would be so likewise; but his head must be oddly constructed who can discover that a husband, who has a right to sayto his wite—yon shall not uceu py.titisnr that particular mansion belonging to me has an equal right to say to an independent person, altogether unconnect• • ed with hint—you shail . not live in your own house. Yet such is the intolerable nonsense which the unhappy Queen's scribes so 'shamelessly put forth for argument in her behalf. The Rural Palaces belong to the Sovereign, and in him alone is vested the power of appropriating them. When the Queen is foolishly called an inheritor of Palaces by descent,' the absurdity merely prosokes er smile. Of what Palace in Eng land is she the " hereditary " owner ? There are certainly certain prerogatives which-a (lace') Consort acquires by tier marriage which distinguish her front other married women, arid confer upon her in some measure the rights of a Jena sole; but the inhabiting of PalaCes 'is not among those pre rogatives. To call for positive statutes svith respect to this matter, is worthy the scribe who 'but a few days ago asserted that a majority of twelve was necessary to convict her Ma jesty. There is no specific, statute; because, voluminous as our laws are, our ancestors have not legislated .upon non sense. ,In those things, wherein a Queen Consort does pos sess peculiar privileges, the privileges are defined; but where the law is silent, -she•is to he held, according to Blackstone, " upon the same footing with other subjects, being, to all in tents and purposes,. the King's . subject, and not his equal "-- As a 'matter of right, therefore, the can sustain ou " de mand".for a Palace; and 'as a matter of grace, and favour, the idea'is perfectly ridicolous..: Her letter to the King,— bee answers to addresses--her whole conduct since she has, returned to this counta v,—to say nothing of time recorded opi- . nion-of the•Houire of Peers with. respect to het conduct out of the country—are all of limn circumstances, eminently cal culated to give weight to such a becoming demand ! The thinking part of the PabliC will now have leisure-to remember what has been well brought forward by the Author Aline Boleyn and Caroline of Brunswick timpared"-, the extravagant expenditure of. the Princess, and the on- ' precealented liberality of the Prince Regent. It appeared (in the debates which took place-souse years ago) " that in -thy,course,of five years. her Royal Highness had in curred debts to the aniountof eighty thousand pounds ; that • thirty-one thousand pounds of that solo had been liquidated tty a grant from the Droitsof the Admiralty; and the Prince Re gent, notwithstanding his:own oppressive and almost over whelming- ineumbrances, had generously taken upon himself the payment attic. remaining 49,0001.; a sacrifice,,which„ as Lord Castlereagh justly observed,. no other husband. in the larid, had he been brought I.relore Parliament, would have been called on to make ! So much for the. economy of the. Princess of Wales;—so -much • for the vindictive treatment which she. experienced from the Prince Regent .her inssband," Our opinion, we need hardly state, is, that the Queen should be compared, not with Anne Boleyn, but with Catherine of , Russia. Many of our Readers will beef the sane opibion_ reading the following extracts, taken almost at random from her history:— " It was during those early days that the Prineesi d'Asche kof, entering the apartment of the' Empress with a liberty rather too familiar, perceived, with astonishment, Orlofoa a long chair, with his leg uneovered, and the Empress' herself dressing a contusion which he had received on that leg," " It was not long before Orltsf engaged general attention. That tender familiarity which is the consequence of an attach ment of long standing - , was observed to exist between the Empress and this man, who was till that time unknown.' The astonishment of the Court' was extreme. The grandees, many of whom believed that they had acquired rights over the heart of their Sovereign, had no conception that, notwithstanding his very obscurity, this rival could have escaped then), and Ihey perceived, with the most vh,lent indignation, that they bad been labouring merely to exalt hitn."—[lbid.) [The Times.] - We understand that no answer tins been returned. to the Letter sent on Saturday,. by her Majesty's command, to the Ministers of the King. Acquitting his•glajeSty of :sir blame, as of course we are bound to do in this transaction, it is too plain that his Ainisters- are treating the Queen and the country in a manner which --neither ought to bear. • But tit s r with such men, is a secondary subject of disquietude. They may feel that they have proVoked contempt and dis7rist throughout the nation; hut they still retain their oeces,, and a deg ree of Court favour, of which, ail things consi dered, t hey alone are worthy- As for the Pailiament, it appea l s they have grace enough left to mectt he House of Commons with reluctance. Yet sure we are 'they have hi therto but little reason for quarrelling with that useful body; but it is the lot of must mien, whose consciences' upbraid them, to distrust their most faithful friends. Du they fancy that two months will work a favourtiblechange in Vise • senti ments of the people. towards them ? Then why not even now leave the current of public feeling undisturbed ? Why, Ly fresh violences every hour, provoke the angry element, and hinder it fiom subsiding•? - We have been informed, from 'a quarter which leaves no room to dn(ibt- the, authenticity of a statement otherwise hardly credible, that the answer which the Bishop of Landaff returned to the QUeen's connunnication, made by the K. Craven, was carefully worded so as to exclude 'all those expressions of courtesy which the ordinary forms of civilized hie prescribe in the correspondence between gentlemen. Who and what• Bishop Van Mildert may have originally been, it is unnecessary to corjecture, and might possibly be fruitless at this late period to inquire. But rudeness of the nature de scribed to-us it is difficult to suppose conid be the effect of habit merely, since men who are raised ter high station in the Church, without any claims either from birth or merit, trans gress, for the most part, ou the side of indiscriminate servility, instead of failing in the observance of decenl respect to their superiors, especially such as are superior to them itt the former of those two.qualifications.—(Fid.) [Now 'times.] The Times labours with diabolical malignity to stir up the populace tem new excesses, in the name of the. Queen—as if it were not sufficient that riots had disgraced the Metropolis, the cities of Oxford, Catnbt idge, Bath, Canterbury, Glasgow, Paisley, Stamford, Grantham, & c. &c.; and as if that • most .seditious and infamous Print delighted to prove that it could, on any pretence, or no pretence at all, inflame the passions of the mob, and throw time while kingdom into a ferment.— The topic which it now chooses to descant upon, with an audacity daily more and inure insolent, is the demand of a Palace for the Queen. "It appears to ns," says this In cendiary, " that her Majesty has now nothing left but to take possession of one of the Palaces." If this were mere gross ignorance of the law of the land, it would be in some degree excusable; for on that subject the Editor of The Times has, of late, shewn such egregious stupidity, that we must make sonic allowance for his 'natural. deficiency of intellect; hut he is still more malevolent than he is dull, and there is no doubt but that he does seriously wish and desire that the Queen would go in person and make a riot at the gates of one of the Royal Palaces. Are there no limits to .the insults which this writer is to be allowed to heap on his Sovereign ? He knows, every body knows, that the King's Palaces ate the King's ; that the Queen is the King's subject ; that the actual separation ut the King and Queen which has existed for years, has been re cognised by Act of Parliament; in short, he knows that the Queen has no more right to take possession of a Royal Palace, without the King's express authorisation, than she would have to usurp any of -the Sovereign functions of her Royal Consort, Legislative or Executive. There is no pretence 'of necessity fur this new attempt to excite disturbance. The Queen is well accommodated at Brandenburg); House. She can at least await Mete, without inconvenience, the deter mination of Parliament on her future lot. It is not to be thought for a moment that she can ever again be looked upon, or treated, as she might have been, if the Green Bag had never been opened. The contents, which, by her infatuated answer to the Commons, she was the cause of making public, remain for ever recorded against her on the Journals of the House of Lords. Her name is for ever coupled with that of the low vagabond menial, whom she raised to wealth and to nobility, and with whom sire slept for five weeks under the same tent! This is conduct, which, consistently with its duty to the nation, Parliament cannot and will not. pass over. For the present, however, it will be prudent on all sides (assuredly it will be so on the part of the Q ueen), to sti Irer angry feelings to subiide. ,!threats-of severity on the.one side, or of turbulence on the other, would be better avoided ; the time will come When her Majesty's pretensions may he urged with wore decency, and considered with more indulgence. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (From tke Bristol Observer.) The QuEeN of ENGLAND IS accused of adultery with a me nial,---umler circumstances .of the most disgraceful aggrava tion. Upon 'this charge, nearly Orie•third of the Peers have declined to vote at. all—a circumstance not of favourable im port for` her -Majesty, since no one who believed her innocent would fail to declare that opinion in the hour of need, espe cially as if it had been a Ministerial question (which it noto riously was not), absence and opposition -to the Bill would give only equal offence:—whereas many who believed her Majesty to be guilty, but who could not think oilier faults but in connexion with her misfortunes, might very naturally wish to spare themselves the- pain of actively concurring in proceedings a:;ainst her. But let that pass, whilst We exa mine what• was the opinion of those Peers who did vote. The following classification of the Noble Lords will be found cor rect, although the reader must supply, from his own observa tions, the number , to each class except the first lst.—Peers who entertained no doubt whatever of the guilt of the Queen, or of the justice and expediency of passing the Bill (the Majtnity) - 123 2d.---Peers who entertain a conviction as strong as that of the above class of ii:e guilt of the Queen, but who opposed the Bill on various grounds of expediency, and some of whom Suggested the propriety of au Address • to the Throne, or other mode of declaring their abhor rence of, and disgust at, her Majesty's conduct, viz.:- - The Archbishop of York, Bishops of Chester and Glom. cester, - Lords Harewood,.. Ellenboruugh, Gosford, Grantham, Falmouth, Calthorpe, tir.c.; considering that he number of speakers was nearly one-half of all who took part in the debate, this class (part of the Mi nority) cannot consist of less than 4O 3d.—Peers whi) admit that there exist strong grounds for suspicion, but who consider the allegations not to be legally proved, amongst whom are, the Duke of So merset, Lords Grey, Lansdowne, De Clifford, &c. - (see, ' ilartiertlarly, the able'speeches of-Lords Grey and Lans- aowne)—probably . at least • 4th.—Peers who argue upon•the utter legal inadmissibi lity of the evidence before the House, and whose belief that the charges against the Queen are unfounded is to be inferred front their speeches and conduct, but who avoid any personal pledge that such is their belief — among whom are, Lords itosslyn, Grosvenorolud Car narvon, who, however, declared that they would vote against the Lill, whether the charges were proved or not sth:--Peers who have exprkssrd their beief that the Queen is innocent—Duke of Bedford, Lords Erskine, Thank, Ste.. ' . in which class, also, Lord Fitzwilliarn must be included, since his'Countess bat'. waited upon • her Majesty... l5 From the Majority, The MurningCironicle would deduct the Bishops, doubtless on the charitable supposition that all Churchmen are knaves, for imam other rule can their votes he considered but as of the greatest weight, and ( th e Whig Oracle, too!) making an aristocratic distinction which the Constitution. acknowledges not, between created and in heriting Peers, as if in this country the :need of talent and of -virtue, like the patents of Nobility in ancient France, must be • valueless for a certain number of 'generations, would argue ffoigetting Vow din Minority was constituted) that _ the Bill was sent to the Committee by a small Ministerial majority 6Ay ! The' fact, however, cannot be disguised, that two thirdi of all the Peers who attended, and range than one-half of all the Peers of England, have declared her Majesty to be guilty. Wherein, then, consists the triumph? Arks! Now, comes nreiancholy view of the case. Upon such asocca sion, it might have: been expected that party feelings would have been laid aside, and the contention fir office suspended, from a sense of common danger. The Ministers had set the exaniPle ; it might have been hoped their opponents would have followed it; instead of which we see, that when the country was awaiting its breathless anxiety the issue of the proceedings against the Queen, and whets the noble bearing of many of England's Peers had created the' strongest reliance on their. wisdoin, honour, and firmness, the Opposition in a body, many of whom had objected to the• Bill because it car ried with it a divorce, voted for that very' clause, and thus sent it back to the House, encumbered with a provision for thc.personal,relief of the King, which many of the most con scientious approvers of the Bill had declared(in erroneous judgment, we have fortnerly shewn) that they could not sup port. This paltry . 'lmmure, which was intended merely to •• embarrass the Ministers, has contributed ,much.to veil from general observation the real decision of the ;louse upon the guilt of the Queen. It is sufficiently distressing to see party spirit thus active at such a time, but such things have always been, and from those who resorted to the trick, when the most distant glimpse of office presented itself to their longing eyes, nothing better could have beets anticipated; but Use coy si deration which is most. awfully alarming to every admirer of the British Constitution, as,.it exists in King, Lords, and Commons; is, that no inconsiderable number .of the Peers should be found, and amongst them some of the greatest per simal weight, to avow, that they dared not follow the dictates of their consciences—that they firmly believed the Queen to beguilty,;that popularupiniun was upon this subject entirely weong, and that-the basest means-had.been resorted to, to %inflame and mislead the public mind ; but that, to opinion so formed, and to feelings so'-excited, it was nevertheless " ex pedieut" to defer. True it is, that ". Fear adusitted into public councils Betrays like t reason :" but we little expected to see this exemplified in the British House of Peers. If we mistake not, Lord Halewood,* and the Noblemen who • adopted the saute sentinient, have created a • danger ten times greater than that which they would avoid. They; who, as we arc told by our most liberal writers,.are specially appointed "ad dflesidenduni Ilegeim," and are plac, ed by the -Constitution as a barrier against the tyrannical en croachment of." erronious•popular feeliog"—upon whom the thinking and loyal part of the. Nation calculated that it might least in. safety, until .reason and justice had. resumed their in fluence on the artificially-inflamed mind of a portion of the public,—have, in the hour of need, shrunk; ore the pitiful pretence of 't. expediency," front the performance of . a pain ful duty. We honour those, who, believing the Queen to be innocent, or objecting to the mode of trial; manfully and con stitutionally opposed the Bill ; yet of those, who, entertaining no doubt or scruple upon either ground, thought it " inex pedient" to proceed, we can only say, they have much to an swer for.— , Do.they. imagine that the House of Peers has risen in public estimation, by the abandonment of the Bill ? e must just ask these Lords of expediency if they re commend a Coronation ? if the Queen's naine is to be restored •to the Liturgy, " ad defivalenthim Itegem ?" fs to be tosturalised and made a Peer?—and if the Queen be innocent why not ? These, and various other po litical considerations, loess upon us ; but we must reserve them, and the moral effect of the termination, such as it is, of the ioquiry.into the Queen's conduct, for another number; observing, only, that, as w e should have considered the ac- Inittal of her Majesty upisit proofs of innocence, one of the most happy events which could have occurred, so we fear the present terminatiim, which leaves upon most minds a moral conviction 'of her guilt, yet seems to require that she shall be treated as of unsullied virtue, may prove to he ft-aught with peril ;—.it has besides a direct ; tendency to revive the explod ed charge of Conspiracy against the hest men among us, and is even on that account most seriously to he lamented. For the happiness of the Queen-herself, with all her imperfec tions on her head, we have never ceased to wish sincerely, so 'far as it could be reconciled to the general interests of mora rality and virtue. Sir Archy M'Sarcasm would say, this never could have happened but atoned. the " Noheelity is' the South, wha a' spring frae runs-puncheons and suggar hogheds." (Front the Sheffield Iris.) What has the Queen obtained ? Something which may be called a tictory, and which probably will be celebrated by a triumph, unparallelled in the annals - of the country. Had her Majesty been condemned by both Houses of, Parliament, and the fill for diVercing and deiiaoing her been signed, and made as unchangeable as the laws of the Medea and Persians, by the hand which she received, and in which she placed her own, at the altar, we trust that we should have been the last to say a hard word of her unnecessarily ; but having escaped the toils, — having been acquitted, it may be said, we will not so far com promise what we fear to be t'be troth, as to deny our convic t►on—a conviction of which we cannot divest ourselves— that it has been-more from the rigid equity of her judges, i❑ pronouncing upon what they considered defective evidence of her guilt, on the part of her prosecutors, than the clear establishment of her innocence by her advocates.— And here we are content to leave a question, which now will probably not be solved during her Majesty's life. During that life it will be in her power to do much towards confirming the confidence of those who belieVed in her purity before it was subinitted to the test, and who believe in it still; towards conciliatiog the good opinion of those Who were doubtful of her discretion before the trial, and whose doubts have - not been removed by the evidence. on either side ; and lastly, towards deserving the good will, and glad esteem, the fervent prayersbf, all who fear God, and delight %o honour . those on whom Ile bath .put honour, by leading henceforth, whether at home or abroad, a sober, virtuous, and quiet life.
