Davis declines to present tb• • the Queen an Acbrress whidt had been unanimously voted by Mlie meeting to - her Milesty. Mr. Davis enters candidly into' the reasons which have induced him thus to dissent from the .wishes of his constituents,' and we find that he " seriously obiects tie paying his rersonal respects to the Queen until she, has publicly disavowed an injutious letter, written and pub fished in her name, and addressed to our Most Gracious So; verei , n." The letter to- which Mt'. Davis alludes must be familiar to the pUblic; it . was- a letter of complaint and re . monstrar,ce, addressed a few months ago, in the Queen's prime, to her Royal Consort. By whom - written, it is, per t trips, u'unecessary to ingnire, but Mr. Davis . goes, we think, too far in %lying, that it was put9lished, using the word in its familiar. acceptation, in the name of her Majesty. " If 'this letter (observes Mr. Davis) he not a treason " able act, whichmy legal trnowledg.e does not permit me '' precisely ton determine, it, is. notoriously. of a charac " ter . so closely_ bordeving upon it, that no loyal subject ' w h o loves ; ro i l honours his King can consider it in arty other light than as tending and intrnded to• bring the " King's' person and the Monarchy of the Country irito contempt.. • WI: will by•no means undertake to justify thFit letter. It was irr ourniiiiii a very ill-advised production, doing as little service4o the Queen, as it.did credit to either the heart or the ; h f ad.of the individual who coMpose'd it. Fortunately it carfi4its_antidole Along with it, foe the eXtravagaot ress of its sentiments !awl ychern,eikee pf tune ; were calculat ed to obviate any evil impression that the writer of it mighil bare been disposed to produce. - We published the letter as an historiCal document, in common with our contemporaries . , blf t bow the eomposition found its.way to the Morning Pa-- r where-it first obtained publicity,-we pretend not Ist linoss. tl.'e do not, however. think that Mr. H; Davis is justified by elte appearance of that letter from 'declining to Pay to her Vlajesty thtf resptct(tue to her. rank and station, or to,decline, 'the hontn - -ttbte duty assigned to him by " such a respectable body of his constituents." A Queen May address her:Consort, or somebody with mare feat than sense ma'' Write aletter to the King in her .name, in language not sutiiciently judiciouis or temperate ; the tone of remonstrance* might 'he. - harsh arol offensive, but we know not what right Mr. Haft Davis has to withhold tom that account his duty to his constituents and refuse to become the medium, of communicating toher Majesty the exoresSion , of their e.ffection and esteem. , And mark this Gentleman's inconsistency; He would feel no difft enlty in transmitting the Address conjointly with his worthy Colleague to the Queen's Vice Chamberlain, hot he cannot as a Member of Pal :lament present it in person to the Q.Aleeti herself. That is, he is perfectly willing as a Member of Par- !lament to heat her Majesty's servant, acting as her imme diate agent, with all foe respect, but he cannot as a Member of Pal liament condescrod to treat the principal with the re spect Which custom• and the principles.of ,our Monarchical Government require front every Gentlemau lit the empire. Mr. Davis might recollect that it was not to pay his personal respects to the Queen that his constituents required him to wait on her Majesty, hot merely as their agent to convey the expression ortheir seotiotents. In making his bow, there fore, he might solemnly protest against - her Majesty's receiving it as his art iu his pi ivate capacity. The lows . Was to be consi dered merely as a state how. or a bow of cer einony—such a how, rfor,instance., as the flan. Gentlemau gives. to certain of the worthy electors of Bristol, whose persons and principles he 'holds in religions abhorrence, with the comfortable conviction that "no love is lost " between them. Now, svo should Wish extremely -to know when this ingenious excuse first smote the brain of, Mr. Hart Davis, for every body must see that it is, merely an excuse, and that the real cause for thus -dissenting from the wishes of his constituents k4ears a far l alifferent complexion. Hail that injudicious letter never been written, would Mr. Hart Davis hare " seriously objected as a Member of Parliament to Ming his personal respects to the Queen ?" - Some other circumstance in the zondirct of her Majesty or of her friends Would have suggest. tor to. an ingenious mind a pretence equally cogent. Never; we hrhelT, was the conduct of any watched with keener avidity ter discover pretences few offering injuries and insults, or flit withholding hindneas and respect, than that of ton' unhappy Cloccu.

There are some curious remarks in the notice of Leipsic Fair, open the zeal of a British association iu communicating the evidences . of the Christian faith to the .rews. exposition of He brew testaments at the fair for the rise of the IeWS . , at low prices, is, we stare say, well fonuded, mid retltcts credit upon the Christian spirit, from which this fair and disinterested mode of conversion has emanated. Perhaps, also, the ex position of them at the 'loins of Synagogues may he true. tint we beg leave to question the offer of - a pecuniary premium , o each convert, upon a certain scale, or in any other manner. ludeed-there is a tone of pleasantry pierces through the ob servations every 119W . and then. The subject, however, de serves serious consideration, and it is for this reason that we notice it at all.. We hasq] given credit, must sincerely, to the propaLtandists of Christianity among the-Jews, which project has the sanction of some of our most learned and exeMplary ,theologians ;‘ but we likliSt rXIII,',FII to them our decided con viction, fortified by the authority of -sonic of the most able and enlightened writers of the last cortnry,lhatthissassocia tion has begun preposterously. If it is Wished that Jews should become Christians, let Jews - he released r f tOin the chaini of barbarous prejudice, and practical bondage in most of the 113 lions of Europe—this truly•enligiitened country in cluded. Let the Jews stand erect in the different comanini- tics to which they beloli—lct them have the . henefit of all the means of public education, equality of right in the exer cise of, industry and trattie, in the acquisition of property, and in the enjoyment of civil rights—let them hr raised to the level of the Christian condition, and they will then perceive and acknowledge Chri‘tiantruths. [New Times.] Whatever may he said, and justly, of the cruelty and des potic conduct of the floytian King. yet he must be regarded, under all "the:peculiarities of his situation, as a being of ex• •traordinaiy enterprise, decision, and energy. The civilisa tion, to so considerable an extent, of men who still bear the bratial4 and - ttlasltrof slavery, - rAfttlFrrigi a matter of curi ous iuiptiry :sod the deepest interest, avid it is not probable that it could have been so far effected by common resolution and common courage. So short a period has elapsed since the frightful war which led to the liberation of liayti—the. barbarous murder of Tonissaint, the elevation atid destruc tion of Dessalines„ and the division of the command be tween Christophe and Petion, that when we consider what has been done since, we are almost inelined tolook upon the whole as .a fable. It is enough, indeed, to make the advocates of slavery blush ler their inhuman doc trines. We shall briefly mention two •or three patti cubes relative to that part of the island which was under: the government of Christophe. hleie, in almost every town, a school on the system of Bell and Lancaster AV:is esta blished, where the male children were gratuitously instructed in English and French, and in arithnitctie, Some of the pre-: ceptors Are English and others French, but one of the fa vourite Objects'nf Christophe was to establish the furnicr lan guage as that of his Subjects. In the school at Cape Henry there were 2-20 boys. It has beta often remarked by tourists' and travellers, that the sonnd of a foreign language 'on evet y side of theM had a Very peculiar effect. It . must appear still noire strange to Englishmen' to hear their own lanlznage purely spohen! by the children of hlacks, so recently freed from the fetters Of slavery, The country was divided accord ing to the French system into arrondissements, of which the number was twelve. The Administration 0 Justice was re gularly provided for, and on great occasions the Council of State acted as a Tribunal. The Military Ztablishinent was very numerous and ethcient, comprising tW . enty regiments o f Infaritry, two of Cavalry, and two of :Artillery. Besides this force there wore the Royal Guards, splendidly equip: ped, and a regiment'of women, called the Amazons, of which the Queen was Colonel. And here we must be;- the . reader uollu laugh at this new•Joilitary body „ most of them, he can mount a horSe at full trot.,' We now come to the Countand Ministers ; but the list of titles and%/igiti-- , twits is so t,ruly formidable that we cannot attempt any de. scription of them. The'Royal Calendar issued for the rote of the Court-contains no less than )47 pa4es, neatly printed. It gives nol'onlY the names of the Ministers, but subjoined to them are short notices, in which the, duties of their seve ral offices are slummed up. The appearance of - the Court, we are assured, was not destitute of splemlour, although rather tawdry than elegant- These facts are exceedingly cu rious .and interesting, when all the circumstances con nected with them are considered.- 7 Chri,stopbe. was not unconscious of the hatred which was " felt towards him in consequence of his extreme and Cruel rigour. He once observed to d distinguished British,. officer, that he knew he was considered a tyrant, 'hut that ,it was ne cessary to be so; the people . would be more tit for liberty hereatter. With his usual arbitrary violence he introduced marriage, which was almost unkown, by making a tour of his territories with his Archbishop; and compelling couples to he united in matrimony Ilisvigilance and activitywere as remark able as his unrelenting severity to all who incurred his dis , pleasure. No persons in authority, either civil or military, were ever secure from his, visits, and it was never known to what point his rapid movements were directed. He had amassed immense treasure at Sins Souci; which was rapidly improving; and had. also collected there large stores of pro , visions. At the time of his death he was about Q,fty-three years of age. . • - . - [The - Times.] There is no advantage more commonly taken by Ministeri and the mercenaries in their employ, than that of * placarding every address, resointiOn, speech, letter, which makes its : way be stealth or effrontery into public, and can be con strued into an approbation of their policy, as if it were the Spontaneous expression of their real Sentiments by men who might, if - they thought propel, have concealed those senti ments with impunity. This is another of the tricks played off neon the careless or inexperienced part of the nation, which, though in fact the clumsiest of. contrivances, is the most tempting likewise to a class of politicians who live from hand to mouth, by the success which has so frequently at tended it. But unless we are suffered to scrutinize who and • -what . the.intlividoals are, and how the bodies are -composed and influenced, by whom speeches are made, and votes given, 'and resolutions frireed, and letters written, and puffs circu lated, what thee say Or do !cites just for nothing' in the eyes of, any reasonable man. Thus, when. we hear that a certain number of Peers voted fur the iniqiiitous Bill against the Queen, if is all miglity well until it is made known to us that ahove.tbirty of these were directly interested in ',procuring the condemnation of her Majesty—sitting as:ohviously upon their own trial as on that wherein they were prosecutors, grand jurors, •and'Aidges. When so much is plaitily set•be fore us, the votes are good literally for nothing'. 'Thus,- fur want abetter wares, the Ministers are forced to bring into the market an AddreSs front the town of Caiubridge,.fer example, 'vastly flattering and consolatory, nb doubt; but then, as ill luck will have it, the Corporation of this town, though decked out in. the full paraphernalia of Mayor; and Alder men, and Councilmen, and Town-clerks, is oo more at liberty to act for itself--or'speak—or vote—or address—or decline addressing according to the consciences of the members com posing it, than are the footmen of the puke of Rutland, who has been connected Wit it the present 'Ministers ever since they came into office, and whose namesakes and relatives are persons in the high situations of Archbishop of . Canterbury, Irish Chatreellor, and Speaker of the House of Commons. We have just had time to glance at the Address presented yesterday by the eight worthy Alermen of London, who tell his Majesty, that it is - the bounden duty of all liege sub jects to rally round him, in order to avert the general - devastation threatened by the restless, numerous, and unabating calm - in - Iles levelled at the Parliament, the. Courts of Justice, the Altar, and the Throne, &C. &e. And we may ash, under what councils is it, and through what misfortune-is it, that such mischiefs have become so formida ble; and that having continued, as we are assured by the Government - Prints they have done, for so long a period, they have not been ere now repressed and punished ? One of two things must be admitted either a small portion of the . people are nubile& with disaffection, and engaged its dis loyal measures--:in which case, if they have not been chastis ed or reformed, the Government with such coercive laws, and with so mighty an armed force at disposal, has beets guilty of negligence the snost Culpable; or, (which is the Al dermens' meaniog) the,evii is of such extent, the disaffect ed are so numerous, mid the means of s tesistance so feeble,. that the s.aa 'rb men, in spite of whom the malady has grown hp, mist be wholly incapable of relieving the station from its consequences. We have before touched upon. this Address of the. Aldermen, while it was yet in prepara-, thm ; we shall now :swirly add, that it speaks the sentiments! of the very few person who voted for it. The answer' which his Majesty has been hdviSed to return soniewhat discounte nances the fears•of tlo• old gentlemen, by assuring 'them, that (instead of disaffection and sedition being so prevalent) " a spirit similar to that by which they" (the Aldermen) "are actuated, happily predominates throughout the kingdom." if so, and it is doubtless high authority for such a fact—the wort by Aldermen miy dismiss their•alarms. The loyalists in every city, and borough, and parith iti England, May surely take the King's word tor the real condition 44 his Majesty's own kingdom. Front the Royal lips we bear nothing said 'about " torrents of intpiet: and sedition;" stalling is stated by the: King himself which makes it at all " ineuto bent' . oh the over zealous Patriots of Cambridge; or Guildhall, to step •forward between the state a 701 the dangers which Surround.' it. 'llls . Majesty, with paternal solicitude for the comf;irt anti tran quillity of this trulv loyal people, declares in fact that there is no danger. In jifit, but most severe rebuke of his cackling protectors, He " e. , e1l knows the implicit confidence which " is due to the virt iie and loyalty ofthe great body •of the na- . " lion." Ills Majesty talks not of fear ; he even conde scends to sooth they angry tempers of these old Magistrates, inflamed as they spin)) to be against the whole English Na tion, by • kraciousl - signifying, to them, that he: and they (King and Citizens are " engaged in a common cause ;" and adding this importint exposition of his royal sentifoents, " I feel most deeply that the honour of my crown, and the happi ness of my reign, mire inseparably interwoven with the main tainance of Our ei tablislwil constitution, and with the true interests and welflire of .my people r' Are the addressing Aldermen capable.c f understanding this doctrine . so consti tutionally just, so ! rni nen fly becoming. a I,iritish Suvereign ?
