LONDON JOURNALS. {DAILY. EXTRACTS FRONt THE MORNING PAPERS Ploriziog Post.] • Parliament will certainly be prorogued on Thursday next, the 23d instant, to Tuesday, the 23d . of January, then to meet for the dispatch of business and the expected communication will not be made till the commencement of next Ses sou. , Public, in .the mean time, will have leisure to give cool dispassionate consideration to the 'disgusting subject, of which so mischievous and infamous alt use has been made by the-ene . mics of our Constitution in Church and State.— Truly rejoiced are we to find .that the people in most parts of the country lrav,e, already returned to their wonted good sense, and the temporarily deserted paths of moral rectitude., Meetings are about- - to be every where held, for ithe'purpose of voting : AddresSes to his Majesty, expressive of the imPgnation of his loYal subjects al the. atro .. elens attempts that have lately been-made to sub ., left all order, and produce universal anarchy, devastation, and bloodshed, in this once happy, most Moral, and envied land-; as well as to :tes fify thi , it.rpec4, veneration, .and gratitude, for the benefits Which this country and all _Europe have derived from the wise, vigorous, and enlight ened nolic'Y of his - Majesty's Government'. Evettin - the:City : of London, where seditious Radicalism tots solong , -clared to raiie its hideous head y the good, ii - ense and loyal feeling of the people is rapidly returning, as will, be seen by the gratifying fea tures of the meeting of the inhabitants of Crip phlate Within yesterday., notwithstanding the balefill influence of that incomparable wiseacre Alderman Wood, who presided on the occasion. Besides the loyal and moral manifestation which in generaldistinguished that meeting, it was particu larly stated by Mr. Phelps, that he knew the voice of the people to be not in favour of the Queen, anti thatthelVlerchants, Bankers, &c. were about to come forwaed 'to state their view of the ques tion. This is what we • have lOng so eagerly looked for; and it is with heartfelt satisfaction, •we now congratulate the Country on the ap proaching realization, of our most anxious wishes in this respect. - A 11 the other mercantile and re ly ectable classes of the community will not fail speedily to : follow so laudable an example ; and, by a firm undaunted expression of their loyalty, effectually subdue immorality and sedi- . tion, and silence the clamour of Faction through out the land. Nothing can moreclearly prove the base uses to which the advocates of Vice and Trea son wish to turn the late necessary proceedings, than the gross misrepresentions which they con tinue daily to put forth upon that subject. Go vernment, it is obvious, made the investigation a judicial, and not a - party question 7 -a fact which is sufficiently- demonstrable from the circumstance of two Lords of the Bed : Chamber, and many other Peers Most closely connected with Minis ters, having voted against the Bill; while the Opposition (with the creditable and gratifying exception of Lords Grenville, Lauderdale, and Den,oughmore,) acted throughout on the basest principle of faction, displaying themselves, as a Noble Lord justly'644.:.lrred, an unprincipled pha lanx, having ht vie%i , only their own interested and dishonourable -objects. [British Pl'e•.!s] What peculiar circumstances are there in the case of the present Queen ivhich should give to her Court (if to her Palace and limited establish rnent such a name can.be given) a greater degree of danger than belonged . to the Court of either Prince of Wales ? What weight or strength can her countenance and protection give to any party in' the State? 'Who that•hopes to preserve or re gain favour, where favour will be valuable,, will pay court to a neglected Queen ?' It is only in the way of promoting a legitimate Opposition in Parliament that her personal influence can be contpmplated as likely to beoperative, for should folly prompt her to, any step beyond this, her power wilt be limited to her pecuniary means, which are inferior to many other subjects in .the realm, while the laws, must be as efficient in re , straining and punishing her, as • if she were among the lowest classes of society. But it is' really idle to enter upon such topics : we have merely touched upon them to spew how futile are the objections which can be raised to the Queetesholding a Court in this country. [New Times.] It is now - certain that Parliament will be pro rogued on the 23d instant till Tuesday the 23d January, then. to meet for dispatch of buSiness. If we were to consult' merely our own private feelings, we should, say this was a subject for regret ; our clear °opinion •being that no time ought to be lost in marking" the sense'of.Parlia ment on the admitted conduct of the Queen. We are, however, aware that the Pabik.,,: icweary'of diScussions, wldch have prodnced so much heat and so little• satisfaction. In. this point of view, perhaps, the_' prorogation is advisable. Puling the • interval 'of Parliamentary prorogation the Queen's radical friends will nb doubt'be extreme ly noisy and turbulent ; it is to. be hoped that this will unveil to. the honest part of the community ;the true cfraCter of those measures which have been repreSented as necess ar y to the defeni:e of .Persecuted innocence.,--R e fl ec ti on will place many oiher'important facts in a clear light, which haVe hitherto heen purpoSely ob scuri;d and misrepresented. It be observed, that while the Whigs, with 'a few honourable ex ceptions, made . the . guilt or 'innocence of the Queen apurty • qustion, the Government made it a purely judicial one. No stronger proof of this Tan be given, than that two Lords of the Bedch . airiber voted against the . , .A4nong•other radical improvements of the law of England, we are now to'd that the. Judges arc not to fine persons for gross contempts of the Court, committed in the faCe of the Court, and during thiC administration of justice.' The'argu inent, indeed, has not yet been taken'tp on very wide grounds ; it seems to be tacitly admitted that some persons may be fined for such offences; but it is contended that there is a particular class of individuals who ought to be exempted from this salutary coercion, to wit, the _meritorious venders of seditious and blasphethous libels.— Now it happens .that .we think these are the very persons against whom the restraints of the lAv ought to' be' most strictly enforced. It is said there are precedents 'for . sparing them. Hone was spared, and Carlile was spared !' In the first place we must observe, that this mode of rea soning is at once the most ungracious pos sible, and the most adverse, •to a mild and huthane administration of the law. If every instance of lenity to_ be set up 'as a perpetual barrier against all. future strictness, no Judge can allow himself to be Lenient on any occasion whatever, but the full penalty of the law must be unsparingly exacted for every offence. But in the next place what are these precedents ? If cited, as such, we must say they will be far " more honoured in the breach than in the observance."—The daring insolence of IlOne was directed to, bring into utter contempt that excellent-administration of justice which is, one of the proudest boasts of our Island— the horrible impiety of Carlile was meant to trample under loot that sacred religion which is' the most precious consolation of mankind. if ever miscreants 'deserved the utmost severity of punishment for offences of such a laature. those two men deserved to have ben held up as exaMpleS tO' deter future cri'Ml - nliP hitt the peculiar circumstances of their regp'ectivk.... trials might possibly have led the populace, to at tribute such punishment to an improper motive ; and therefore probably it was that the eminent and venerable Judges, win') presided on those memorable occasions, did not employ the poWer with which they were invested by the law, to re strain impiety and sedition hi the mouth of a de fendant by the .merited infliction of a heavy pe cuniary fine. The laws, however, must not al-' ways sleep. We daily see more and more fatal consequences arising from a relaxation of, those powers with which the wisdom of our ancestors invested the great constitutional authorities. It is .high time 'that offenders should be taught 'that they are not to .add insult to injury, but that when brought to answer before a public tribunal for their violations of the law, they are to con, duct themselves at least with decency and revo rence.—(lbid.). [The Tones.] The QeEEN", it will be recollected, applied for a residence to Ministers—a Royal residence, of course; she is a Royal Personage, and' she want ed none other—the houses and hearts of all the people of England being alike open to her recep tion. After a thousand shufflings and delays, this, in £4abstanuz, is the answer at last received to a request so proper, so just, so legal, so mo destly urged : Lord Liverpool states, _ _ _ " That he has received his Majesty's com mands to inform the Queen, that it is not, possi ble for his ?viajesty, under all the circumstances, to assign any of the Royal Palaces for the Queen's 'residence; Lord Liverptnyl has bee.q- further commanded to inrorin the Queen, that, 45ii-Pnr !lament shall meet ,for the despatch of business, the allowance which has hitherto been enjoyed by the Queen will be continued to her, and that it will then be for Parliament tc,determine the amount 'of the future provision to be granted to her Majesty." In an annexed paper Lord Liverpool adds, . _ . . " That he thinks it material to observe, that this anSWer mast not be understood a 4 withdraw ing the facilities which had been previous)y olf9r ed for procuring a residence in London - for the Queen." It is not needful to bestow many 'Nvords upon such a production as the above ; it is the last, the direst, of insults ! Whose are the palaces of England ? The King cannot assign to the Wife of twenty-live years' insult and persecution a palace of her ancestors and his ! Why can he not ? Then let the heath', we say, be her resi dence; she is a Queen still. We should tept it again, were we in her place, as she did in Pales tine and on the deck of the potacre ; and let her adversaries draw fresh matter of slander, from such a position. But the next clause in 'this most,astonishing letter is more insolent and disgusting still. " Till " Parliament meets for the despatch of business, " the Allowance (Qu. parochial) which has " hitherto been enjoyed by her Majesty will be cc continued to her." 'Why does Mot the Queen's allowance, as it is here called, come from the same source as the King's ? Are they not fed by the same hand ? Have theY not the same right ? Nay, is she' not the only one of the lioya t l stock who has been .graciously pleased, in consequence of the public distress, to relinquish more than a quarter of her income ? And here she gloid— how insultingly we need not say—that She will be allowed to enjoy the residue till Parliament meets. Kind, condescending, benevolent, hu mane ! But her Majesty never asked for the continuance Of her allo;sance. [Tfie Ledger.] An answer, the learn, has beets obtained from Lord Liverpool to her-Majesty's application for a residence becoming her dignity, The Noble Lord ig merely understood to say, that" he has not yet received the King's commands on'the subject of a dwelling for her Majesty, but that he will communicate them to Mr. Craven the moment it is in his power to do so." Lord Liverpool pleads his absence from town as an excuse for his delay in answering her Majesty's letter. What"paltry shuffling this is ? His Lordship, in the Upper House, and Lord Castlereagh, in the 'other, it -will be recollected, displayed uncommon anxiety to persuade Parliament and the Public, that in no part of the proceedings respecting the Queen, had .his Majesty any personal feeling;. and now, when the State has abandoned the prosecution against her, the want Of commands from his Majesty is 'to be pleaded as an excuse for not assigning to her Majesty a residence suited to her station! Is not - the obvious tendency of such au answer on the part of Ministers to belie their public decla rations, to shift responsibility from their own shoulders, and . to impress the Public with the icka, tin: l it - the delay in providing-her Majesty with ini4pro)4e,ke mansion alone chargAble to the NsonaZ teeNgs 4. 412 e Nowc ? Would not have been more'consiitent with trutl9,and wont it not have displayed a greater tenderness for the character of their Royal Master, to have replied, that they lied not thought fit to submit any ad vice to his Majesty on the subject of his Consort's demands, "until the arrival of Mr. Canning, through whose mediation they,expectel to be able to induce her Majesty wholly to withdraw from this Country; or, if she remains, to persuade her to lire in such retirement and obscurity as to attract as little as possible of the public . at tention ?--Mr. Canning, it is said, has arrived in town, and according to the report of yesterday, in the political circles, the proposition to which he is to endeavour to procure his Majesty's as sent, if she refuses to cluit the country, is, that she 'shall reside at Harapton-court, and accept an income 'of twenty-five thousand puunds a year ! We cannot, however, bring ourselves to credit the latter part of this report. It surely is not possible, that those who offered her Majesty 50,000/. a year-to live abroad, should have the audacity to limit her revenue to half that amount as a punishment for her" preferring to reside in this country I [Morning Herald.] Yeqerday a Public Meeting of two Parishes was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, to consider the propriety of petitioning his Majesty for the removal of his:present Ministers, and to congra tulate the Queen on the issue of the late inquiry. How far Ministers have or have not lost the con fidence of the nation, cannot yet be fairly col lected—nor do we - think any impartial observer can pronounce upon this point, until the manifes tation of the sense of Parliament, when it shall hare met for the dispatch of public business.— We by no means approve the tone and style of these Resolutions. A Meeting to petition the Sovereign to change his Counsellors, is one of the most valuable and constitutionally legitimate ex ercises of the subjects right of petition. Reso lutions containing the grounds of, such an appli cation to the Throne , should be drawn up in the language of good sense and temper. They should turn upon the principles and measures, by which an Administration might maintain the prosperity and liberty of the State. They should give such a sound-minded and unexaggerated exposition of the faults of Ministers, as would not be disdained by the historian, as a party record of the time. The Chair was occupied by Lord John Russell. The Whig interest, however, did not appear to prevail at the Meeting, as the Speakers were, for the most part, Reformers. FOR THE SUN. MAJORITY AND MINORITY. An error having.appeared in one of our News papers, respecting the Majority in the House of Lords on a . late lamentable occasion, it is proper that the Public should be undeceived, and no channel is better calculated for that purpose than Tut: Sus. The QUEEN was. not trial before a tribunal of Lords. Her conduct Was only on inquiry to satisfy the preamble of a proposed Act of Legis lation; on which a majority of twelve Peers was not requisite, as in the case of an' Impeachment for a High Misdemeanor, or an Indictment of a Nobleman fora Capital Offence.
