LONDON JOURNALS, [DAILY EXTRACTS.] FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [-Morning Post.] THE ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN. W e have already stated that the Radical Ladies of Nottingham have addressed her Majesty ; but we have in vain looked for her Majesty's answer, or for the list of signatures, in order to discover how many of the Ladies put their marks. We particularly regret that her Majesty's answer has riot been published, because we are really curious to know how she would reply to some passages of this Address, proceeding, as it evidently does,, fibom a thoroughly Radical pen. For example Though you are not defended by the drawn sabres of the military, you are always surrounded by your guards, tlnis imitating the example of the magnanimous Queen Elizabeth, trusting your defence to a brave people, who will not be de terred by any power under heaven to forsake you in the day of peril." We hope her Majesty was advised to reply to this, that " as her honour was in the hands of the British Parliament, and ,under fhe safeguard of British laws, she needed no other protection ;—she knew too well the qua lities which compose the character of an English Nobleman and Gentleman, to believe them cap able of perfidious conduct." We think her Ma -sty might use some such language as this; for she eternally talks of the " loyalty, the justice, the dignity, and the sublime sentiments," of the English people. Surely she does not exclude from this general description the Nobility and Gentry of England ; surely she cannot look for, or pretend to find, such eminent virtues out of that circle alone. If, indeed, she does entertain such peculiar notions with respect to us—if she really dissevers from rank, from titles, from edu cation, and from station, the qualities which have hitherto been supposed to be intimately allied with them—we are afraid she will not obtain much applause for her discernment. We are in deed surprised her Majesty does not feel how lofty a ground she abandons when she joins in the vulgar outcry against her Noble and Learned Judges. [Morning Chronicle.] It is for the South Americans themselves to de termine what they will alloW to the recent changes in the Government of Spain. On this subject it is only for us to express wishes. Our wishes are guided by what we conceive most likely to favour the advancement and prosperity of that great portion of the earth, and to be most. beneficial . to this Country. We conceive then, that the prosperity and advancement of South America are most likely to be promoted by native Governments, whether these Governments are Monarchical or Republican ; if they are native Governments, the measures they will adopt, will, at least, have in view, more or less, the interests of the governed. A Spanish Government would naturally look 'more to what it might conceive to be the interest of Spain than the interest of the South Americans, and might hereafter, as it has formerly, conceive these interests to be dis tinct 'from each other. The great object for - which nations wish to have colonies—namely, to have a monopoly more or less extensive of the trade with such colonies, is essentially at variance with their prosperity. We must never forget too, that if South America should again be unit ed with Spain, if this country ever be at war with Spain, such a war would naturally lead to an interruption of our intercourse with South A the rica. Dr. Adams, the Civilian, one of our negocia tors with the American Ministers at Ghent, is re tamed by the Crown to assist his Majesty's Attorney- General against the Queen, in the House of Peers.—(Mid.) It is said that Sir William Scott is to retire on a pension, and to be called to the Upper House. Sir Christopher Robinson •is to be appointed sludge of the Admiralty. There is a contention for the office of King's Advocate, but Dr. Dod son, M. P. for Rye, is likely to be the successful candidate.—lbid. [British Preis.] Addresses to the Queen continue to be poured in from various parts of the country, expressing, in energetic language, the sense of the public upon the manner in which her Majesty has been treated by the Ministers of the Crown since her return to England. In, the greater number of these Addresses, the point particularly noticed is the wound which the proceedings against her Ma jesty is likely to inflict upon the Constitution of the country, by assailing the interests of Royalty. The Answer of her Majesty to the Address from the Town of Wakefield, was presented yesterday by Lord Duncannon. It alludes, with feeling and interest, to the losses sustained by her Ma- jesty in the deaths of her gracious protector the late King, of her daughter, and of her gallan( brother ;—it refers with dignity to the insults offered to herself, and with a prophetic serious ness to the evil consequences that must flow from the extraordinary mode in which her Majesty has been assailed. Tier Majesty repeats the assurance of her innocence, which alone could support her under her severe afflictions, and of which she well remarks, " 1110 Bill of Pains and Penalties can ever deprive her." [New Times.] The rumours of accommodation in the affair of the. Qu;en have recently been renewed, but we fear with little ground in point of fact. Anxiously as we should have wished for accommodation at an earlier Stage athis painful business, we canuo4 now indulge , that hope. .Matters appear to have We received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last. They contain no further intelli gence whatever from Naples, nor any later news from Madrid.—The following are extracts :- 44 PARIS, JULY 25.—Yesterday the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris paid his respects to the King; his Majesty afterwards received as usual a number of persons of rank, and in the afternoon transacted business with the _Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Duke de Richelieu. " Five Lieutenant-Generals and a Major- General have arrived in the 16th military divi sion, consisting of French Flanders, and Artois, to inspect the different corps which form the Garrisons. . The force, in the 16th military divi sion, consists of four Regiments of Dragoons, two Regiments'of Horse Chasseurs , fourteen Legions of Infantry, consisting each of • three Bat:ta!ions besides Engineers, and Foot and Horse Artillery.

LETTER FROM LORD COCHRANE. " In the Port of Yaldi•ia; a►iddTe of February. " SlLL—After a more minute examination of the general state of affairs, it appears, that the enemy's force is completely destroyed, and that the spirit of the people is good, the harbour is excellent, the fortifications formidable, and the country deserves, under every aspect, more favour than it has' received from those who are accus tomed to a more ardent sun and fewer clouds. " It was first my intention to destroy the for tifications, and embark the artillery and stores ; but I have not been able to determine upon leav ing defenceless the safest and most beautiful port of all I have seen in the Pacific, the fortifica tions of which must doubtless have cost a million •of dollars. " I enclose a list of the stores found in-six of the twelve forts, or batteries, that defended the harbour, and the details relative to Aguada. " 1 must here do .justice to the zeal and efforts of Captain CARTER, of the brig Intrepid, who has conducted himself in a distinguished manner. " Be pleased to present to his Excellency the Supreme Director the Colours of the Regiment. of Cantabria, and those of Valdivia, upon whose walls now waves the Flag of Liberty and Inde pendence. " COCHRANE." [From a Jamaica Courant of the 12th June.] Several of the troops of the Rio de la liache expedition, have come on shore in the greatest distress, without the smallest means to alleviate their wants. Some, we learn, have entered on board different vesseis as seamen, and others are willing to become soldiers; they have fought, and the plunder has followed the renowned BRION. It can hardly he believed, that, notwithstand ing the state to which the proceedings respect ing the trial of THE QUEEN have been brought, and the measures adopted by the House of Lords to secure the fullest attendance of its Members, that all possible solemnity may characterize the important investigation, there are still rumours afloat, tending to excite an expectation, that mat ters are in agitation to settle the question by private arrangement. The New Times of this day contains a judicious article on these silly rumours, which *lll be found among our daily Extracts from the London Journals. As the subject is one of universal interest, our Readers, partiau larly those in the Country, will no doubt be desirous of knowing all that passes, and what is generally said on it; we shallsontinue to extract the facts and the opinions that may be of fered by our Competitors, but shall say little ourselves, as every thing pro or con has a ten dency to prejudication one way or other. We may observe, however, that the line of argu ment adopted in The New Times, on the gene ral question, has been repeatedly urged by our selves, and that from the very first we expressed our regret that the Legislature, after her MAJEST Y had so earnestly demanded an open and public Trial, did not at once resolutely comply with her demand, and not suffer itself to be diverted by any means from that plain course which we at first recommended, and has been found unavoid able, as well as most consistent with the ends of justice, and the general expectation of mankind. S IR WILLIAM SCOTT.—We see by a paragraph in The Morning Chronicle of this day, that Sir WILLI.I3I SCOTT is to be called to the House of p e ers. Such an elevation was never more pro perly merited than by this distinguished charac ter. It has beet a matter of surprize, that pos sessed of such profound knowledge, such emi nent abilities, and such powerful eloquence, the Learned Gentleman did not come forward upon the question of THE QUEEN ; but the vehemence, the party spirit, and the determined hostility to Government, which seemed to characterize most of the Opposition Speakers, might well deter a Gentleman of different, and more liberal and deli cate habits, from interfering amidst such turbu lent discussions. In the Upper House, he will be placed in his proper sphere, where he can communicate his • sentiments, without the danger of that coarse contention to hich he would probably, have been exposed in another place. We shall hail his elevation as a measure calculated to give increased dignity, as well as knowledge and abilities, to the HEREDI TARY COUNCIL of the State," and it is no , slight proof of the excellence of our Cc . 74 ' .111111 ' TION, and must still more endear it to the PeeP te at large, to see-this Gentleman and his N 0 ll' e Brother, our venerable, pure, learned, aA i v dicious LORD CHANCELLOR, 'po's" - sessed of t a hors 'l734l . l\khey- hAc attained by them 4 , 11 .

' and they h ave been sent rejoicing to their be I ,ol' tive homes. A particular account of ceedings will be found in another part' gone too far for-either party now to recede. Tile charges brought against the Qiteen are of such a nature that the People of England would not be satisfied without their complete establishment or disproval. What the king or Queen may per • sonally wish is now no longer the .m4n abject fof consideration. The People,. we do not mean the populace, but the truly respect rble and vir tuous People of England, look yith cattleace to the two Houses of Parliament /to decide whe ther the Queen's conduct has or has not been such as would render it safe for her to be placed at the head of the British Females. They ar e grieved that it should have been possible for any such question ever to arise ; but having arisen they will not, they cannot be satisfied that it should not be determined according to the dic tates of sound, substantial justice, • In this point of view they reprobate any premature assertion of guilt or innocence without proof. They sus pend their opinion until that proof is exhibited. They presume her Majesty to be innocent, be cause every accused person is presumed to be so until proved to be the contrary ; but they do not assert her to be innocent ; because, whatever may be their hopes for wishes, they are not yet in possession of the evidence either for or against her. The distinction, between presuming and asserting is broad and manifest. The one is an inclination of the mind, tlowina from general feelings of humanity, and from the general supe riority of virtue over vice ; the other is a con viction founded on a particular knowledge of the facts in question. A similar distinction is to be drawn between accusing and condemning. The language of a charge is, in all its descriptive parts, the same as the language of a sentence ; but the impression which they make is, or ought to be, extremely different. It has been absurdly ar gued, that because the charge slates a criminality in the accused person, therefore it prejudges her. —lf this were a valid objection, no crime could ever'be punished ; because punishment must be preceded by accusation, and accusation is, upon this absurd mode of reasoning, tantamount to prejudication. For our ,own parts, when we look at the serious charge actually brought against the Queen, we are satisfied that men of such high honour, and unsullied character, as those by whom it was sanctioned, would never have submitted it to public investigation, if it had not appeared to them to be supported by a strong body of evi dence ; but yet even the Lords of the Committee themselves cannot consider the language of their charge as conclusive. The necessary forms of proceeding oblige them to state their accusation in positive terms ; but they invite as positive a denial on the part of the person accused, and they Would individually, we doubt not, feel the sin cerest satisfaction if that denial should eventually be borne out by weightier testimony than that which they have hitherto had the means of exa mining. To impute to these Noble persons other and contrary motives, is an incredible libel ; but much more incredible, much more monstrous, is the insinuation of the factious prints, that a con tempt of all justice, and a predetermination to oppress and punish an innocent Queen, are sen timents common:to the vast majority of Members in both Houses of Parliament. To put such ex travagant propositions into plain language is suf-• ficient to confute them. The Bill of Pains and Penalties is an extraordinary remedy for an ex traordinary case ; but the very circumstance of thus adapting the form of proceeding to the na ture of the occurrences alleged, only shews the more clearly the inflexible resolution of the Le gislature to do substantial justice. Such is, we believe, the sincere wish of every honourable mind, in the state to which things have been un fortunately brought : we are certain it is our own—and we know no more just and accurate expression of_our sentiments on this subject than the old adage—Fiatjustitia, runt Grelum.
