LONDON JOU R \ALS:. [DAILY, EXTRACTS.) THE :MORNING PAPERS. [Morning Chronicle.] The Letter of Lord John Russell seems to lave excited considerable ex.peqations that the ;Paiiiiiiind Penalties will be abandoned. 411post 4 every person you met in the street, in the course of % resterday, entertained that Convic tion ; and app - ear6d'as if relieved from a load of apprehension. People can hardly bring them tO,think that so. candid and . dispassionate nu appeal will be lost on the Royal mind. The . 4:!ing, they say; knows from the manner in which WAlessage waS received by the House of Corn lIIEMS, that that House wished above all things to avoid entering on the subject of the differences between their Majesties ;--he• must know, from the ..nriequiVOcal:'manner in which the people vXpressed their feolino - s on this subject, in t' wanner the prOceedings against the Queen are .siewed by them ; he must know, too, that every husband, every father of a family through- Of 'the country,trembles at the very idea of the Aletails of filth and pollution with which they liave been threatened. His Majesty may enter lain conviction that the Queen has committed acts of adultery abroad; but his Majesty Must by this time knOW; that . even the establishment of these acts would not justify in the eyes of the 'people the Queen's degradation. The people cannot -be brought to perceive that there•is one rule of morality applicable to Kings and another to the rest of. mankind; 'and they know that the pr:vate indi*lual who abandons his wife thereby degriv4 himself of all title to complain of her vetaluct. Knowing this to be the general feel -!ng,:.it is thonght - that the King will never, for the mere gratification of his own wishes, expoSe female innocence to the risk of contagion, or plunge the country into all. the horrors of lutes commotion.- A short time Will now decide Whether . the proceedings will be persisted in or abandOnej; Rut we cannot help. thinking that latter course will he adopted. [British Press.] It is not improbable that the event of the death of her Royal Highness the Duchess of York InayexerciSe-a tonsiderabie influence upon the pro ceedings instituted against the Queen. Upon the prospects-which. it seems to open to at least one Member of the Royal Family- it would not as js - t be proper to make any remarks. The_ first - ets±ct, however, whiCh the event is likely to pro duce, will probably be the postponement of her Majesty's trial—fur what would be more inde cent upon the part Of the Ministers of the Crown, i t hait to urge a. 'prosecution of singular severity apinst the Queen Consort of these Realms, at tl:e very moment when the Royal Family is mourning over tire Princess nearest in rank to her Majesty. We have learned with pleasure that the Queen bias postponed the ceremony of receiving any pub- Itc 'Adat'esses - for the" ‘preserfL This is no Ihaesse. They are .pouring in upon her from-all quarters, comities, -cities, and towns. A. Meeting Of the County of Middlesex for that purpose will be held this day at Hackney. The codiseudopt ed :by! hc.f. Majesty' has motive in respect to ,the.memory of.:her lamented, sister, the Duchess 0 - f York. The same • Unfeeling policy which Would bribe her 'to become an alien and an out oast has withheld from her a-formal notification of the melancholy event,. but it could not'sup press tier sorrow for the loss of: a relative and. friend. We• wish that one precise and particu lar form of answer by her Maje Sty to the nu merous Addresses .now preparation from all classes of - people. were consistent with that respect and deliCacy to which they are entitled. Cus tom, hoWever, has declared it otherwiSe, and we admit the difficulty which her Majesty must en -counter in clothing the uniform, pure and genuine feelings of her heart in new and varied expres sion. A cessation from the performance of this task we therefore- hail with pleasure, while we lament the cause. Were the task attended NO ith every possiblelacility, its interruption would be desirable . for another reason. lier Majesty has been charged, by her enemies as appealing, in some of these Answers, to the passions of the people ; as if she should be insensible to their love and affection, us if she should answer the warmth of their expressiOns with coldness, and prove herself indifferent to life and .honour, un moved by the. gross and malignant cabin-lilies of her enemies, and insensible to the danger and perils with which she is environed. However, we are glad to find that for the present her ene mies are deprived even of this handle for abuse. The people, giving her credit for the cause of her silence, will not suffer it to abate'-their ardour •or cool . .their. affections.—(lbid.) [New Times.] It is expected ilhat the death of the Duchess of York will occasion a postponement of the pro ceedings in the House of Lords relative to her Majesty. They must certainly be put off until some short time after the funeral of the lamented F r i acess . Rumour says that a longer delay will be interposed, and that some arrangement may still be. ~ hoped for. Most heartily should we rejoice if this report should prove to be founded on solid grounds of rational expectation.—ln con sequence of the death of•her Royal Cousin her Ma jesti has postponed receiving several Addresses which-were to be presented to her. Amongst them is one from some Inhabitants of • Norwich, - and another professing to come from the Mechanics d Artisans of the metropolis ; but which, it will be recollected, originated at a Meeting in a pub- Jic-house, noticed in our Paper of the Ist instant. The radical character of the whole affair will be easily conjectured from the circumstance that the names of Waddington ) Mis. Carlilei and THE SUN.

We received this moiniug . the Paris Papers of Saturdaj•last.• The following are extracts : " PAH-Ts , Au G. s.—The Prince de Castelci ca la, the Neapolitan Ambassador; paid his respects yesterday to the King, and afterwards, to the Princes and Princesses of the Royat Family. His Majesty afterwards transacted business with the Duke de Richelieu. " A Belgic Journal, of the 2d inst., has the following postscript :---C We this instant learn, by our private correspondence from Germany, of its being currently reported at Frankfort that new disturbances had broken out at Berlin; it i s even asserted that six Prussian Regiments had received orders to proceed to Berlin by forced marches.'

" NAPLES, J ur.Y 18.—On the 13th in the • evening there was a grand illumination at the Theatre St. Charles ; when the Duke of Calabria and the Prince of Calabria appeared in their box, they were received with the loudest applause. " The Provisional Junta held their first Sitting- yesterday. ' 4 Lieut.-General D. Michel Carrascosa, is ap pointed Secretary of State, Minister of War, by a Decree of the Prince, Lieut.-General of the Kingdom, dated the 14th. Two other De'orees of his Royal Highness have been issued, dated the 15th, one creating two Juntas, who are to pre pare within a month two lists of Officers, distin guishing those who are to be retained, reformed, or allowed to retire,, and the other appointing 9 Members to form the first Junta, and twelve for the second. The two Committees are to have for Presidents, one, the General-in-Chief, an d the other the Lieutenant-General the It was our avowed determination to- avoid touching upon the subject of THE QUEEN, but the;absurdities and falsehoods of the Opposition Writers compel us to forsake our purpose. Yet never will we utter a syllable. that can presume guilt or prejudge her case. 'Ehe OPposition Writers, however, have the folly and the imprt-• deuce to deny that she has a fair trial,:ancl therefOre they contend that the prosecution ought at once, to be dropped. That ground is wholly untena ble,. because a more enlightened,. a more impartial, and a more honourable Tribunal than that which is to try this lamentable cause, never has existed.. If a cessation of proceedings were to follow from consideration of the confusion which might arise from the result of - those proceedings, whether favourable or otherwise to 'rut QUEEN, as the welfare of the State is not concerned in the decision, most heartily should-we rejoice if auy means ,could be devised to avert so irksome and sodangerous an investigation.. Rut, as we have before said, that matter depends upon THE QUEEN herself. She instigated the-question, and in the face of .the Nation demanded an inquiry that otherwise never would have taken place. She only can retreat, and if she makes no over ture for that purpo'se the inquiry must proceed, whatever may be the consequence to the Country and to herself. What danger has the evil Coun sellors of this unhappy QUEEN brought.upon her and upon the Country ! They have induced her to make a raree show or - herself in the. public street, with none but mob spectators and auditors, and they have prompted her to demand an investigation which is. pregnant with danger to the Realm. Ttleconscionsneos of her innocence must be . rnote gratifying to her than the most ample acquittal by her Judges. She should re member—. " That more true joy MAucEtt.trs feels, " Than CIESAR with a Senate at his heels." As to the Letter of LOrd JOHN RUSSELL, which The Morning Chronicle of this day tells us is to work a miracle, and which is to produce the aban donment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties in the opinion of " almost every person you met in the street yesterday," we leave his Lordship and his let ter tq our old and judicious Correspondent loNo- TUS, whose Letter We have inserted this day. Let Lord Joit RUSSELL' give .a satisfactory an swer to the questions of that able Correspondent if he can. If, indeed,'" almost every person you met in the street" were insensible• to honour, indifferent to justice, and regardless of the Na . tional tranquillity ; we might . s4ppOse them to be dull or depraved enough to think with L° l4 :. JOHN - RUSSELL that HIS MAJESTY the Pll rt ri i chiefly injured, if the charges against his Colis ° should be well founded, shoula . interpose and st ° Pl proceedings.

The following paragraph, from The TFaterP l Chronicle, is a gratifying proof of the public CO venience 'resulting from the acceleration °I the Mail Coach, which enables the Packet tos iii' so much earlier than it did from Milford . .

[4rlieq i nes.] • We gave in our two preceding numbers, a full ,report of the proceedings. at Watwick, on Thurs day and Friday last, against Major Cartwright, Wooler, and others, for their conduct at Bir ,mingharn in. July, 1819, when, amongst other il legal acts . , they named Sir Charles Woiseley their " legislatorial attorney," to represent' Birming ham in the House of Commons.. Our readers are aware by thi,s time that the defendants were all found guilty of the misdemeanotir for which they were tried.. If there are those who deny that the acts charged against the above parties were criminal acts—and in tire present state of the country, - however that state may have been produced, that - they Were of -a criminality in its consequences very mischievous and dange rous—we are not of the number. Towards these itinerant reformists we have ever enter tained as strong feelings of dislike and indignation as were compatible with the contempt to which we were involuntarily moved by them. They are worse titan the stationary well-fed foes to all re dress of public grievances, in the same proportion in which , a plague _let loose becomes more de structiye than when confined to the lazar-house. The Radical of London or Birmingham is known after a little time near his own habitation, and there he is extinguished, cared, or avoided : but he goes away to increase his value, and his power of making proselytes is in the ratio of the mystery and obscurity which surround him. Poor Major Cartwright, whose hand the Family Bible would become far better than those other volumes of which, in London, we pretty well understand the price,. need only travel 150 miles on tie North road, and straight he finds WOW politi cians ready to be inoculated with his dotage, and hairbrained Baronets, eager to realize his dreams. Really this is past joking.. It is no trifle to see a mob of 30,000 or 40,000 people take, not the law merely, but the whole consti tution, into their own hands, and, in defiance of all right, usage, and authority, set up a power unknown to, English history against the three estates of the realm. We wouldnot, indeed, at tack this multitute so collected with the bayonet —we have too much reverence for the law of England, and. too strong a•desire to see it sup ported by its intrinsic might—but sit: would -as sist and defend the Government in taking , the course which on this occasion they have adopted, and punish by. the law alone, those whose pro jects, if effected,.would lead as surely as a direct application 'of the bayonet to the overthrow of our jurisprudence, and the reign of force.

"-Several Sicilian Gentlemen who are in this Capital have not taken the oath to the new Con stitution, for fear of compromising themselves in their own Country, and exposing their pro perty to danger. Apprehensions are enter tained respecting the difference of opinion that prevails in Sicily between the great Pro prietors, who are attached to the ancient Consti tution, promulgated under the influence of Lord Bentinck, and the People, who wish for the Spa nish Constitution. It is, nevertheless, hoped, that every thing will be amicably arranged. " A melancholy event has disturbed the tran quillity which we appeared to enjoy subsequently to our political changes- On the 13th, a number of soldiers of the Regiment of Reale Farnse refused to proceed to the Garrison at Gaete, and ran off in open 'day. By means of the measures immediately adopted by Lieutenant- Generals Ambrotio and. Filangieri, the deserters were stopped at Saint Jean de. Zeducci. Every attempt made to restore order amongst them proved fruitless. Firing took place on both sides, and a peat number of the deserters were killed. The , troops of General Filangieri had several wounded, including a Captain and a Lieu tenant-Colonel ; one Officer was killed. GG Some of the deserters who took flight pe rished in-attempting to swiirn across a river; the remainder were surrounded and made prisoners. It is said that, far the sake of example, two out of every ten of these men will be shot " A Decree, signed by the Prince Vicar Ge neral, convokes the Parliament for the Ist Octo— ber. next." t
