FROM THE - MORNING PAPERS. . , [Morning -Post.] A ?(IffarytAN NI Att. arrived last night, with Tapers -abounding in tsfeE RESTING 1111 d IMPORTANT ne reported trangoillimtion of . :Sicily Was only a delasi've calm. The Palermi-• • taus had a strong party at Messina, who worked ici silence, but with unceasing activity, to "effect the expulsion of the Neapolitans. The plot was . ripe for execution about the 23d of August, when it was revealed to the. Public Authorities, who ..immediately arrested the conspirators,. amongst whom were.seVefal Noblemen and Princes. The plan was to set the city, on fire, and after mas -sacring,the Neapolitan% to plunder the, houses of the inhabitants who tiad been known to support. their cause.. The intelligence frdm Warsaf is of rr different nature, bUt still more important. It Is said that the. Emperor Alexander has at last at-. • tabled- the grand object of his policy, or to speak plainly, of his ambition, and that the ancient - kingdom of. Poland is to be restored in its-inte grity. _Nothing is added,. however, - 'respecting the compensations which both Prussia and Austria , ought to 'receive, for it is scarc‘ly credible that they would -consent to relinquish the immense provinces which have fallen. to their share. out an equivalent. It is indeed Said that the re establishment of old' Poland would be a public good—that, once more great and powerful, 'she would assitin preserving the balance of - Europe, and would prove a bulwark to the North. But these advantages, even if they were real,. would, be of too general a nature to compensate for the individual sacrifices which Prussia and Austria - would be obliged to make ere they could be ob tained. The balance of Eorope may be a very • desirable object; but What Sovereign would be willing to procure it at the price of two or three --millions of his subjets ? Neither in this instance would that balance be really secured. Were Poland - re-established in her ancient independence as Well as in her integrity, then indeed she might serve to maintain the equipoise of nations. But as long as she remains, in the hands'of Russia, to ltdd to her power ; would only be.tO encrease the dangers which threaten the existence of z that equipoise, and to prepare chains, instead of a bulwark for the North. The differences 'which. lately existed between the cabinets of St. Pe- - tershurgh and - Madrid, are said to be entirely - settled, and the Emperor Alexander, has issued a new note, in which he declares that it- isiiotnhis intention to interfere in the internal affairs of an independent power,which, like Spain,ls a meni ber of the Holy Alliance, and that he shall see with satisfaction the developement of the tvw , Order of things established in the Peninsula, antl whatever may contribute to the happiness of the Spanish nation. `Austria, too, is represented as disposed .to lay down her hostile views against the kingdom of Naples, in:consequence of the inter position of Yerdinand of Spain, who had bien - requested by his brother-in-law, the Regent of • Sicily, to use his influence( with the European • Povfers to avert their demonstrations of ven geance,and to induce them to allow him to give • a COnstitUtion to his, subjects. This request world not, however, have found a willing ear; • had not, we are told, a fermentation of spirit among the people of Lombardy and Venice led the -Austrian Court to reflect that war against Naples rant be attended with insurrection at home.- , [Morning Chronicle.] Our. readers will find, among our extracts from. ..Gertnan Papers, an article of the FranAfwe Ga .:l-elk, dated from WACSAW, in which' it is said, a report is in , circulation there, that negociations are on foot between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, for the re-establishment of the kingdom of Po land. Whatwas the Censor of the Frankfort Gri:ette about, when "such a paragraph found its -way to the tiublic ? Some wag has either taken advantage of his inexperience or simplicity, or in must have overlooked it in ' the pressure of, business.' Yes, when .the -hungry hyena or vul-, tnre shall turn away from a carease, :when the tiger shall voluntarily abandon his _prey, then may we expect to'sce the. 'holy Alliance consent, tothe independence of Poland. When we see the people of that ill-fated. country reinstated in their 'rig - fits, 4nd the Sovereigns of Russia, Aus tria,n:nd Prussia, giving pp the fruits of their usurpation, we shall then lie inclined to believe that Their profess'_onS of regard for the principles of Christianity, are somethifig more than mere hypocritical pretences We - should next loOk'to see. the conversion of the' Jews - ! Alas for Po land Time Poles, we kndw, have never ahan , don'ed the idea of one day effectiug their inde pendence, and. we trust they wilt yet become a nation. • They cannot easily forget the glorious deeds - of theirfathers, and the disthiguished part -which Poland once acted - in Europe„ Tau g ht in the school of adversity, they 'wit earn to shun the . rocks on which they •forrt*sPlit. How inortifyino- must itflie . to there, to think that their disunion tnade,thetn- a prey to a people to whom every.respect they are so superior, and whose armies are principally indebted to the;:r gallantry ancLvalour for what reputation they have lately acquired .

After this, some persons may be of opinion that an Act of Parliament to -degrade the Queen is almost superthions. What Mould , George 111. have said to"see his Niece and Daughter-in-law— S 9 tommon hzeltney'd in the eyes o f men, - Sp stale a nd chea:t to vulgar company.? - Orotd he. not have exclaimed— Tiont.has lost thy princ . ely privilege By vile. pat t ion. Net an cre tint is a,yeary o f thy common si g ht. To the last, glimmering of reason the good old King retained, the manners and feelhfgs of an V.nglish . Gentletnan ; and the Queen cannot. bet shew that .she cherishes his memory, than by assuming those of an English Gentlewoman, from which,, we grieve to say, she is at present very far distant indeed. By the society which she keeps at Brandenburgh House, Nye may form some conjecture of the select,parties at the Villa fergami ; but whatever. familiarities she may have indulged in,. with her Italian Court,." ab sohtte.wisdorn' might tell her that snore reserve is necessary in,the neighbOurhood of the British metropolis. We have an old song, that some of her Majesty's new associates may, perhaps; be able to sing to her— , There's a difference Iwtsveen Pt be gg ar and a Queen. From -which she may conclude that we have cer tain prejudices in favour of Royalty, and these 'her 'Royal origin and Connexions may well induce her rather Co conciliate than to offend., 'We rejoice to find that the project of throw ing the City into a state of confusion .by another poll for the Mayoralty has excited among all Classes of the Livery a general indignation against the handful of agitators bv. 1010 a it was thedi tated. Persons most decided in theirgeheral politics, on both sides,. have ,loudly reprobated . the renewed attenipt to break down the 'esta blished system of rotation, which alone can in duce Gentlemen of real respectability to en 'counter the fatigue and anxiety of City Offices. There as there - fore every reason to' hope, that Mr. Alderman Heygate's nomination on Friday next will be so pOwerfully supported as to precluide all idea. of a contest ; but still thiS point should not he 'left to chance. We 'again call; not only on the Worthy Alderman's personal and political friends, but on all who . are friendly,to the peace • and re t spectability of the ,City, to give their at tendance at the CommoA Hall, or they may be assured, that men restrained by no feelings of de licacy will avail themselves of a thin meeting to rominate Mr. Mclennan Wood, with another Candidate, whom the Court of Aldermen cannot posaly elect. such are the tricks and chi canery to which this little faction do not hesi tate to resort, whenever an occasion presents itself to afford' them, at any hazard, a momentary triumph !—(.lbid.) [The Times.] Hardly any of our REMARKS upon the PRP CEEt)ING s in the House of LORDS have attracted so much attention, or so deeply affected the pub lic mind, as the uniformity which. we yesterday pointed•out. between the French mid English Jacobin Journals, when the Queens of-the ewo countries were marked out for destruction. The Queen of France was-first denounced in the, san guinary and atrocious Journals then in the pay and employ of the Government of France : so also has the Qdeen of England been denounced by the J ournals- said to be in the pay and employ Of our Government. As the trial of Maria An- toinette approached, and during the continuance of thattrial, every .species of insult was heaped upon her devoted head, every kind of indecency attribuivd to her : ,such also has been the Case here , in England before and during the pro cess a&ainst Que..n Caroline. The columns of the jacobin Journals' of France in 1793, are really translated, into those of the Ja cobin Journals of England at , the present time. Do not the other members of the Royal Family," we ask, shudder at this—that DO sootier is one of their body singled, out for de gradation; than that unhappy individual is at onceassailed with the most unmeasured. abuse., ,she is,torn, to pieces by that part of the press, which, whilst it only affects to attack her,• does really seek, and to the utmost extent of its powers, effects also, the discrrace to the whole FitMily? We would wish the had of the Illus trious House himself to. consider this; for his Majesty may rest assured 'that if it were possi ble for himseWever to come under the stroni; arm of power, he would be vilified and slandered in the same manner, and by the same tongue's and pens also by which his wife is noir defamed. These have no hatred to her more than to him and would treat them both alike, should their si tnations ever become similar. • Reports having been industriously circulated That the Austrian Government is about to enter nto a tregociatioh for a new loan, we have autho rity to state that they are wholly without founda tion.--(ibid). The name of Mr. Wood, an English merchant at. Palermo, -having been. mentioned; in the last intelligence from; that city, as .the.only oue of his Connte:s men serving in the Civic G uard, w•e are desireti to milke known .that such service' is com pulsory on all foreigners who have resided more thail Mears in Palermo, and that Mr. Wood is in fact the only l'nglish gentleman in that pred-i -caMent.---(lbid) [British Pi:ess.l On a further exami‘iation of . the L:ETrEns which we published yesterday, respecting (he conduct. of Baron OIIPTEDA - in -his qb r airc with . M r • nowtiA3l we find increased cause of surpris e at ,the extreme weaknes's of those who'could send them forth to the world with ;A. :view of re lieving the •character of the dc.censed,Baron from the 'ObbaCly. which, peculiar 'circumstances had •attacljed to , his tbettiori: The-charges that have _heel) urged against'amptedatare-, that, forg e iting the dignity of charitcter'lwhich . ou4ht to 'belong ~ ... to a tnattot his elevated tank, ltd . stotsped to the inexpressible meanness of insinuating himself into the society- of the .Princess of 'Wales far the sole purpose of abusing her confidence—of acting as a spy upon her conduct—and in _the true spi , . rit of espionage, of distorting . circumstances in themselves innocent, and of giving an . unnatural degree of importance to trifles, for the _purpose of creating an injurious impression respecting the actions of her Royal - Highness, and of thereby seeming to increase the value of his own services:---that he had bribed the, servants of her Royal Highness to aid him in his honour able employment—and that, not satisfied with the advantages to be derived from his per ' sonal observation, ands the inventive genius of .his worthy allies, the traitors in the household, he had actually engaged, a smith to forge a key for the purpose of. giving him a ready access at all times to the writing desk containing the letters and other private paper's of the Princess. The final charge against the Baron is, that he evinced an unwillingness. to hazard his person' when required by Mr. Itownam to give such sa tisfaction as the laws of honour require for this . unmanly breach of the most sacred duty.' Of these several charges, surely the last is not the most important, and yet with an unaccountable perverseness of understanding, or . What is as probable, .with a desire to divert public attention from, the imputation of treachery, Meanness, and robbery, the 'pretended friends of the deceased. think to. relieve his memory from every, taint, by, 'affirming that he did. not add cOwardice to his ,otner vices. Against this point they have directed all the weapons in their . armory ; they selected their own ground, arranged all their forces at their discretion, and chose their own moment of attack ; but they have undertaken a forlorn hope, and the charge, even the charge of cowardice; remains unshaken.---We must conf ,- ;ss that on this subject we feel an extreme unwillingness to give free expression to the sentiments of disgust and indignation that crowd upon us ; there is a sacredness in the tomb which we should never willingly violate, and the conviction that he, 'whose character is the topic of animadversion is no longer capable of resistance or explana tion, would disarm even personal hostility of every trace of rancour or vindictiveness ; but the. consequences of Baron Ompteda's actions are now hut beginning to be developed, and a sense of justice to the Illustrious Individual most se , riously affected by them, demands an unlimited inquiry into this man's character, as a knowledge of it must tend considerably to elucidate many scenes in the eventful' drama now in the course of exhibition. [Morning Herald.] We yesterday stated some Facts which strongly proved the necessity of legislative interference to correct the abuses, painful to humanity, and dis, graceful to‘ the character of our laws, which arise out of the doctrine of constructive contempt of 'Court: Can it . be believed, that in a country like England, proud of its civilized sentiments, iteliberal institutions, and thcike Chiristian max ims which teach the adminislration of justice in mercy, -such a case could. occur as that of Hannah Barber, who -was committed to prison on the 30th of July, 1789, upon what is. called in the quaint and high sounding tech nicality of. law, a writ' of rebellion, which was issued- in -coriseqUence of her not having paid a sum of moneyinto Court, in pursuance of a de cree of the Court of Chancery. It is highly . probable that this unfortunate woman has in this long and deary imprisonment been expiating only the crime of poverty, which disabled her from obeying a decree, that was founded upon the supposition of her having adequate resoiirces.— e are well aware'that laW, as an artificial science, must have a language of its own, and Many :prin. ciples peculiar to itself., which ordinary reason does not at once comprehend. But its peculi arities should never teach• to such an extent as to,contlict with justice and humanity. It is quite WO much that a technical crime should bring npOii the head of a British . subject the visitation of that awful calamity—imprisonment for life, or for.stich: a tern as renders the remaining years of exittence joyless, friendless and.desolate. - In the, year that this unhappy woman was commit ted to the Fleet Prison for a ,constructive con tempt of Court, the Ilastile •w aS demolished in France. • 'We are, sorry that under a Constitution like 'that of Great Britain, a remnant of bar barism should 'remain to remind us that such, a place ever existed. The case we have,touched upon is only the Most aggravated of several which require the attention of Parliament. , POLICE INTELLIGENCE. FRIG! IT IN ST. SF:Pt:LC FIRE'S CHURCH.
