THE LONDON JOURNALS. tOMLY ExTRAcTs vit()%l 'l't-1E MORNING PAPERS [Morning Chronicle.] )1y an arrival at Liverpool advice, were yesterday receiver) fraiia Biletios Ayres, dated 4th October. By these accounts rt . would seem that another Revnlutinn, or scramble for ., power, had taken place in the capital, more serious than the preceding ones which had divided that unfortunate c4y.— Vier the defeat of Alhear and Carrera, at San Nicolas, RO nriguez placed' himself at the head of the Government, by overcoming the party in favour of Balcarce. Towards the close of September, a runner got abroad that it was the in sentiou of Rodriguez to bring back Pueyrredoo and his col leagues, and a great fermentation was consequently excited among the people. A serious conflict took place in the night, in which many persons lost their lives, but eventually Rodri ' i t itry was pot down, awl, when the last letters were dated, the C.Lbildo or Municipality were governing the city, and :preparations were making far fresh elections. The comma , nitations with the interior were still extreneely partial. Ad cher, front Valparaiso, dated the 22d August, have also come, to band, at which time Cochrane's expedition had not sailed. Letters from Maranham were also received yesterday, dated etti November, being upwards of a week later than the last advices from Rio de Janeiro. They state that the Oporto )terOlittion was known there, and had excited great joy askikeng well-informed persons, but the Lisbon events bad not readied them. [Morning Post.] We cannot but sincerely join with a writer to whom, in politics, we are almost constantly opposed, in wishing that t•he commercial treaty, which is understood to he now in tie- gociat ion het we 01 this country and France, ►nay he brought to a successful termination. This is one of the subjects into which no party-feeling ought to enter. Too long has it ben the. policy of the two countries to regard each otter as na fkiral enemies, and their measures have in consequence been fratued with aview to war, and have generally been admirably calculated to produce that state of things against which it was their ostensible object to guard. The dinfomatist and the statesman cannot he better employed than in in q uiring into the practicability of placing the relations of these great Powers on a different footing. Hitherto to talk of humbling Prance has been the favourite theme of England, and of course, a similar tone against this country became the pre vailing sentiment in Franee. Yet why should this be? Each possesses many articles of commerce, of which the other stands in need. Why then should net the comforts ef - both be promoted by an exchange.? The discoverer, or the con queror of a world, would deserve less of his country than that Statesman who should relieve England from the dread of having to meet the terrible enemy she has so often found in France,—who should put an end to her ambition, not by the sword. but by making it her interest to be the friend of her ancient rival. How sure, how lasting that. friendship which is •cemented by the benefits arising from an active and well re gulated commerce, is seen its the history of the • connection which has so long subsisted between this country and Portu gal. It would be well that it should be remembered both on this anti un the other side of the water, what the two nations bare lost from their hostility. Very ritticult would it be to point out an object of national importance, however superb, that might not be obtained at far less expense than each e,tuntry has been subjected to, whenever war has been de clared against the other. The trophies of conquest have by turns swelled the pride of each, hut in every great struggle one only could triumph, and both uniformly suffered. This is so obvious that we - need not appeal to the widows and orphans of war to sustain the assertion. But in finan ces—in national strength—in greatness as well as in hap piness, both have suffered. Flail peace subsisted between England and France as long as it has remained unbrok en between England and Portugal, how different might the situation of the people of the two nations have been at this day—how difforent that of all the rest of the world!— There can be .tin doubt that commercial treaties may be ar ranged wit is Franc e and other countries Upon terms more henrficial to Great Britain atrl to them than the regulations now in force here and .in those countries; but it is alike .ovious that these arrangements should be separately made, with a root carefit I view to the immediate returns of benefit, which Great Britain shall obtain from the stat t -s in wimie favont , any relaxation mae be granted, and not upon any ge mend e xpectations of profit, which may accrue hereafter to when sse shall have enriched our neighbours. The posi tion, that " it is nor interest to make our customers opulent" is a vast deal too extensive and too inde6inte. All that is true in it is this—it is our interest to constroct our commer c'al regulations, with so much attention to others, as well as to ourselves, as that they and we may be enahled and induced to trade with each other, to the utmost extent of a possible common utility. To talk of making. our costumers I ich, as a preliminary, is alisind. We might mate half nor own popu lation paupers, long before the returns'should come in from this new trading Venture in immoderate liberality. We sin cerely hope however, that a liberal and an enlarged view will be taken of this most interesting subject. The restlictious which at present fetter the efforts of commerce all over the wOrld, demand immediate and most serious attention. "the oriseries of the world spring from the errors of mankind. Were unwise regulations and uncalled for precautions dis- missed from the - system of each country, the ample earth, rfch in valuable products, and the exhanitlesv ocean, would furnish a sufficient field for industry, and al► u ndant sources of sustenance and enjoyment would be open to all. • [British Press.] • The itfindiciotts anxiety of the Ministers •to behold their heeds lauded in Addresses to the King, and to cast,at the same time, the severe reproach of disloyalty and sedition upon their <lvo:meats of every class throughout the king dom, will place 'tliefeii at the meeting of Parliament in an aw kward dilemma, irom which - not even the ingenuity of • Lord Castlereagh can easily extricate - them. They must either confess that the charges preferred against the people were false, and that no tr:,Ces of the crimes alleged were discernible except in their own bewildered fancies, or they mast consent to stand con victed of Want Of energy, wisdom, and capacity, for not hav ing made a single effort to check the. foul contagion of such ilangei oils criminality. The guilt must surely be rely ap potelit, at least to ministerial ryes, which could call forth /WA mid angry invectives, joined with pitiable lamentations •Itotsi the -Cabinet and its immediate adherents in all parts of the empire; nor could it, from the nature of the charges -tiffelged, be so limited in action,. or he confined to individuals toiew and so reserved, as nut to have afforded many oppor tunities of vindicating the authority of the laws, and the ontraged majesty of society by the legal conviction and pu nishment of wicked and desperate offenders. The imputed crimes of iedttion, blasphemy, libel, disrespect to the person and government of the King, tumultuous a nd seditiout Meet ings, the vinintions of the public peace, and various other offences of the same class, are all known to the laws of our country .and it was only in the Session of Parliament before the last that .the Legislature, at the speCial iletstand of the Ministers of the Crown, consented to strengthen the hands of Government with respect to this very .class of offences, s„, d e gree required by the Ministers themselves. j the c , h ue s now imputed by the Ministers he really in ei-- ietence, why , are not the guilty individuals prosecuted, and . vet us bear no mote whining and whimpering about the pre valertee of offences which the laws are • capable of Checking, - b4ri st4i ch the Government adopt 3 no measutes to restrain. For what put-Pose ate raws_made but to prevent or punish guilt ? and shall it be endured that a Government armed with sit raordinary powers, intrusted to its 44iscrition for the pro tection of society, shall indulge in idle lamentations at the saitid crowth of crime, have recourse to addresses fur correct- . its priniCions influence, and stiffer the salutary terrors of t law to remain inactive ? The Ministers, however, while they alert to lament. the existence of an evil, are willing to sOlter private individuals to undertake the ptinishment-of the ilitendero. Thus we Fad that a new prosecution has been commenced against that wretched woman, Mrs. Larlile,.fhr some blasphemous publication, but the prosecution is com iaciaced, not by the Attorney-General on behalf—of the Go vernment. but by the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Is. this mi , ;erable woman the hnly culprit in the country ? is iler situp .the only mart for *edition's and blaspbemoili publi cations? are•lier solitary exertions the only etforts that are or liAve been u..01e to overturn the whole 'fabric of the Chris Can religion, and poll down the pillars of the Constitution ? Ili there be other Offenders equally daring and equally frir • /aid able, w•e t►ave a right t•u complain of the insctiiiiy of the Ministers in not enforcing the jaws for the welfare• of so - tdi.ty . ; and we are vreil . caribiced that 'there is not a man in ad.: Empire wbuse goutl opir iuri ii riorth posessitig, who would not rejoice is the conviction and pnniAurient of those who commit such offences as are imputed in the Ministerial Addresses, and recognised in the Answers which the Mini sters instruct the King to return. We will venture to affirm on the part of the legitimate Whigs, that such are their ten diments upon this subject. They love their King as arden t . ly as any Tory in the Empire; they venerate thet Constitu tio►►, which they naturally reg. u •d as their own especial worh, they adore the principles of liberty, which are necessarily in volved in the fabric of their Constitution; and tl►ey ablosr as sincerely aS any of the Ministetial Addressers . , doctrines de , rii . gatory front the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the simple purity of the Cheistian Religion. But they will spurn with indignation any indecent ►uummery practised for the purpose of diverting attention trout the actual offences of the Ministry, investing them in the minds of the timid and ere dnlous with an interest that does not fairly belong to them, and interpos►ng the sacred shield" of terror to protect them from public contempt. [Morning Herald.] The fall of Buonaparte seems to have given rise to new po litical interests, new relations, andnew tendencies to alliance in Europe. France, long called the natural enemy of Great Britain, and not without reason, is now understood to become every day more and mote closely united with her. This is echoed from the foreign Jo► rnals. and rumoured at borne.— It is probably well-founded.--Thisnew friendship with France arises, no doubt, from the views which Russia is disclosing, and the attitude site is assuming. The spirit of ambition and aggrandizement driven from France, has reappeared in Russia, and given rise to movements which it is the common and pres sing interest of France and England to resist. It is even re potted, we know not how far truly, that a commercial treaty is negociat►ng between England and France, on the principle -of a mutual and vast reduction of import duty on certain pro• duce of both countries.—We only hope this may be the fact. The Ministers, of course, will not .attempt unless it be found as practicable in regard to the Revenue, as it is de• sirable on general principles, and in reference to the public wants. Front thz principles, statements, and reasonings of Lord Liverpool, in the course of the last session, we very much doubt the truth of the negotiation of a commercial treaty of this kind to any extent. Perhaps the revolution in Portugal, arid the probable change in our commercial inter- . course with that kingdom, may produce some change in the views of the Noble Earl and his colleagues, since last year. [The Times.] The charge against the nation of increased immorality surely conies with a bad grace .from the advocates of hor rible green hag investigations. We are convinced, in corn mutt with the majority of our countrymen, that more danger may accrue to morality and religion froM the proceedings against the Queen during this one year, than all the miserable efforts of the Deistical tribe, with Carlile at their head, could have effected . in thirty, or the exertions of the Society for the Suppression of Vice would overcome in 60-years—nos that we would advocate the cause of the +former, or undervalue the merits of the latter. The charge of disaffection is equally . false. That the country is dissatisfied we willingly concede; and it has latter'y met with too many reasons for such dissatisfaction—(independent of the treatment offered to its Queen)—i,n the total suspension and neglect of pith lic business, in the unheeded cries of a distressed po pulation, and in a lavish waste of the hardly-earned pubs Sic revenue. But where is this disaffection ? In what ob scure corner of the-. island is it whispered ? How is it made kpown ? Did we hear its appalling' sounds, or-re cognize its desolating ravages, in the numerous assemblage which ci °wiled our streets when her Majesty went, after thy illustrious example of our late pious Monaich, to St. Paul's, to return thanks to God fur a signal deliver ance from a calamity worse than death.? Was it to be seen in the innumerable processions which hare conveyed the dutiful expressions of loyalty and attachment to Bran denlinrgh-honse ? Nu. " There's no such thing :" it is the political purpose of certain candidates for preferment " which informs thus to their eyes." flowerer, the nation is nut blinded by•thesr artifices. The total defeat of ultra addresses in rations parts of the coantry, and the substitution of others expressive of attachment to the King, but likewise respect fully praying for a dismiss;. of Minist:Ts and change of mea sures, show that patty intiigue will nut prevail against con viction and matter of fact. [New Tzmes.] The very great interest which at the present moment rm• turally attaches to our domestic politics should not lead us wholly to overlook the important changes which take place in a neighbouring country. The French cabinet has received the accession of three distinguished Royalists, Messrs. de Vit. Corbieres, and Laioe. It is praiser that the English . Piddle should be clearly apprised of the whole importance of this event. M. de %Wele wss. the leader, in the Chamber of Deputies, as M. de Clusteoltriand was in the Chamber of Peers,of that parts so stapitilvand so wickedlyhranded withithe name of Ultra-Itoyalists. (Ed Times in particular, bad loaded these high and honoural4e men with the foulest slan ders, and opening its venal pages to the French police, had actually charged these Notkonen with a participation in plots of assassination amt . treason ! Wb have for years unremit tingly combated the ( ~ !itsus and wicked calumnies poured (span these illustrious St ttesmen ; we have contended that it was only by such principal s and such talents as theirs, that France could be saved. 'Pitts truth has now at last become evident. M. De Chate.mitriand is called to a high diplomatic appointment, and M. De Villrle takes his seat in the Council of Ministers. The miserable Journal, which in its infamous Private Correspondence of July, Isla, had marked out these Noblemen by name as traitors, and had charged them with heing concerned its a plot to murder their Sovereign—this same infamous and unprincipled Journal nosh veers rottml the compass, and declares I hem to be "nut merely the rational sup porters of Constit to - moat Mooarchy, but the personal friends of the House of Boorbou!!" This circumstance ought at least to teaelt us the propriety of.weighing and comparing the different opinions which the same individnal maintains at different times, on the sathe subject. There may doubtless be good grounds, its certain cases, for abandoning. former errors; belt what is the fact here ? While the French police is tinder the direction of a revolutionary faction, who spare no money to bribe venal writers, The 7'imes calumniates and vilifies the noblemen -in question ; lent when they come into office, the Editor at once discover.; that they are loyal and patriotic, en lightened am! moderate ! Wiil the public be deluded by this barefaced prostitution of opinion ? Will anv Mats he so weak as to deliver up his judgment to the guidance of a writer who is manifestly destitute of the very shadow of prin ciple ? As a sort of cloak for its despicable inconsist ency, The Times pretends now to have found out a new party of Ultras its France, a n d speaks of M. de Vaublatic as their leader; but let us not be the dupes of so shallow an artifice. Fur the last four years The Times has persevered in stigmatising with the name of Ultras, not M. de Vanblanc, but M. M. De Cliateatibriand, De Villele, and their friends and followos. It ealumainted them as it now caluMniates ninetenths of the true loyalty of England by call ing it Ultra-Loyalty; and sorry are we to say, that even Statesmen in England because the dupes of this gross fraud, and re-echoed the slanderous title of Ultras, so impudently attached to men who are now confessed to be t he most rational and constitutionalitoyalists in France. We, on the contrary, laboriously endeavoured to defend the cause of true Loyalty in both countries on the same ~grounds. . We shelved the folly of applying the terns Ultra to Merl whOle loyalty could not be separated from their patriotism, and who loved their King, because they love their country. We predicted that the same term would be applied, as it is now daily ap plied, in the pages of The Times, to stigmatise and discoun tenance all true attachment to the King And Constitution of England. In that Journal yf yesterday the Loyal Addresses and Declarations which have ()Hate issued from all parts of the kingdoss, are with the most barefaced impudence and in solence attrilmted to "the underhand practices of Adminia- . tration in procuring Ultra Loyal Addresses"—Thi: expression lifts the mask of the Radical. We feel its gross injustice in our own case; let us remember that it was equally unjust in the case of France. Ultra-Royalist was a teras invented by the blood stained monster Fouche. Ultra-Loyalist is a term invented by the Editor of The Miles. ft appears, by a statement from the Excise Office, London, that t be. duty on Hops, of the grovith of 1820, amounted, at /d. per lb. including old and new duties, to 240,5741. 14s. 10d. _ . CURIOUS ASSAULT.—A person. named Mailing, charged one M‘Duggan, et Marlborough-street office, with. assaulting him on Monday night. The'story is as follows:-- The Prosecutor had a friend lately buried in St. AIM'S church yard, and the wife of the deceased, an Irishwoman, suspect ing that her husband would be taken up, yin ploved Mailing to watch over the grave, with particular injunctions for hint to be very attentive on the night in ,Inestion, as she bettered that her husband would rise on the third night. The defend ant, whom the prosecutor described tube a resnrrection-wan, attacked him on his post, and with other Irishmen, knocked hint as well as the watchmen, about. The Magistrate recom mended an aci;olnruoilittiun, stud the, dithreuees were settled• PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From the Durhani Counts/ Advertiser t l TO ./. G. LANiIiTON, ESQ. NI. P. Stn.—l claim a right, as one of your constitu ents, to trouble you with softie remarks on the County Meet ing convened by yourgelt and your associates, and held at Durham on the I:ith instant. In the speech which you delivered on that occasion, you stated your expectation that the part you Wulf, would expose you again to the attacks of libellers of all' descriptions, Lay as welt as Clerical. Sir, I have no concern in this allusion, •and front me, .st least, nothing of that nature shall proceed, unless you deem every opinion libellous- that differs from your own, though couched in liberal and courteous language; I abhor calumny too much to deal in it myself, mid what ever faults you may find in this address. it shall not contain a sentiment unbecoming a gentleman to hear or utter. As fur clerical calumniators, if there be any snch, it is not my business to defend them; and I shall only chserse, that since you omit no opportunity_ of reviling the . Established Clergy, you haven() reason to complain if they retaliate, fur self-defenee against aggression is not a libel. But I lease the vindication to themselves, they are competent to undertake it, it they think it worth their trouble. , But, Sir, though I shall abstain from personalities, 1 will not abandon principles; and the Freeholders of this County have, I think, brought indelible disgrace upon themselves by their submission toyour dictates, by suffering (with one feeble instance af dissent) opinions to be publicly avowed, and mea sures promulgated in their name, subversive of the interest and honour of the nation. The well disposed (for still such are to lie found) cling to the inveterate delusion that a gentle denial of concurrence is au antidote for this disorder ; but you and your friends know better : arid truly any old woman's nos trum would do just as well; for violence can only be repelled by vigour, and when factious men conspire for mischief, the loyal must combine for safety. Sir, the ostensible and the real object of your meeting, though very different, were equally detrimental to the public good : the ostensible purpose seas, a condemnation of the late proceedings against the Queen ! the real purpose, which, though not embodied in the requisition, was foreseen by intel ligent observers, and is now manifest to4ill, was a change of government, i. e. a substitutiOn of the party denominated Whigs for the present administration. These Whigs, who catch at any means of furthering their views, have identified her Majesty's_ interest with their own, forming, in conjunc tion with the Radical Reformers, a triple alliasrce,.of which the folly is only exceeded by the guilt. It there ever was a question on which party prejudice ought to have subsided, it was tire late investigation of the Queen's conduct—a question' not of politics, .but of justice, morals, ''and religion. You reprobate, however, Ist, the mode-2dlr, the injustice-3dly, the disgusting and pernicious tendency of those proceedings. Ist. You deny that a Bill of Pains and Penalties is con stitutional:, Instead of arguing the point, which would oc cupy too much time at present, I shall remind you that this method wee not only approved by the highest legal arid eon stitutional,authorities, including your party oracle Lead Erskine; but that' Lord Grey himself admitted that such Bills were known iii the best periods of our history ; adding, how ever, that such extraordinary exertions of power could never be justified, except snider circumstances in which the public safety and the public interest most imperiously required that such proceedings should be resorted to. Sir, lam ready to meet his . Lordship on this ground, and .maintain that a case of more imperious necessity cannot he produced, for 'the in terest of every family in the kingdoni was at stake. I will nut do you such an injury as to think you can ue ignorant that female morals have an influence on domestic and na tional well-being, and that a woman, branded with suspi cions of such a nature, could not, with any prospect of our happiness or safety, be, stationed as the head and model of a sex which we ought to shelter from impurity, and which, from having been the pride of England, and the admiration of the world, would become at once our bane and our disgrace if corrupted by licentious example. • Therefore I contend that a Bill of Pains and Penalties was defensible on the principle ado:Ate:chi. Lord -Grey. • But•Qilly,'no injustice was committed ; for the method of impeachment would not have mended her situation, and no objection can he - valid against a judicial process of sonic. kind ur other, provide lhe grounds of accusation were sufficiently probable and strang.to put her on her trial ; and can any one pretend that this was not the case ? Would any Grand Jury have refused to . hnd a true Bill on such grounds ? Indis putably not . You, Y o urself, Sir, as an -honest and conscien tious' juror, must have sent any one to - trial on charges so attested. Consequently, no injustice was committed by ar raigning her. . 3rlly, You inveigh against the disgusting and pernicious ten dency of the proceedings, and vent your indignation at tire nauseous details. with which the public has been afflicted— and my ghborrence i! nut inferior to your's—but was it there fore expedient to blink the charges? You and your friends say yes; I . as confidently answer no; fiat Justitia is a rule shish must not he surrendered; and no enlightened patriot 'will 'maintaio ; as a general Maxim of State-policy,l that it- is not expedient to punish rice; forsuch an encourage ment of licentioiisness would obviously tend to the demoli tion of society ; if justice be disarmed and fettered by conve nience, the law is a dead letter; 'and nu form of government can stand. Nor was there any thing in the present case to exempt it Irons the ordinary rule; you will not, I am sure, contend that may authorise depravity, or that the im putations *ere:tits-nal a nature that we might safely connive at, and con-sigp them to oblivion ; the higher the dignity, the more darigeroos 'the example, and we have all a deep con cern that the feniale who is first iu station should not be the last in cliaracter. _ _ If the recurrence of vice could be prevented by County Meetings, they night thus prevent the recurrence of pro seetition;. Init'scriong as crimes shall be committed, crimi nals must be brought to trial; and the proceedings must be equally notorious, whether they occur in the ordinary course of j ustice, or by the proce-s of inipeaco went, or by a Bill of Pains and Penalties; though -indeed the last "method of proceeding • would be exempt from the evil of which we speak. if the ancient privilege of Parliament were in practice; and half a century ago the evidence in question would not hare been pernicious, because it would not have been expcised to public will not attempt to solve the problem whether the publicity of Parliamentary Debates be hurtful or beneficial ; hut I do think that the strenuous defenders of that publicity should be the last to complain of any mis chief: that result from it. But even how, why is the evidence pernicious ? disgusting it indispiitably is, but what renders it pernicious.? not . the disclosure of facts which excite no feel ings but of horror, and %%bid) make vice itself appear more hideous : no, Sir, it is the attempt to palliate, to extenuate, to justify such enormities; it is the protection of licentious manners, the patronage of indecorum, the adulation of im pudence, the exaltation of dishonour, the popularity of guilt.; 'these, Sir, are indeed pernicious, these are perilous and Or. ad ful : it is not the exposure of depravity, but the vindication of it, the indulgence, the support, the favour lavished on it, which appal the pious and the good. These are signs of the times which may terrify the firmest heart, and justify Lord Grey's quotation from the . gospel. By the bye, Sir, I recom mend to your notice another passage from the Scriptures, ap plicable to certain persons who will not believe that her Ma jesty is guilty ; the Sacred Writer tells us, that they who be lieved not, moved with envy, tools unto them certain lewd fel lows of the baser, still, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar.* But it has been said, that the result of the trial has proved ats iropritpriety. Sir, it proves ino..such thing. Has tit♦ re sult exculpated her Majesty? The records of that tribunal before which she was arraigned; lead us to a very different conclusion ; they tell us that .she escaped, but was not ac quitted ; .nor would it foil iw that the trial was unfit, even had she obtained a verdict in her favour; for if so, no cul prit, should be tried, for fear of an acquittal. That an ig norant and tumultuous rabble should proclaim her innocent dues not surprise me; but if there be any man of common sense who, having candidly considered the evidence adduc ed, can believe her pure, I do .not blame him fur declar ing his opinion, but I very much wonder how be came by it. Yet such intellectual darkness does the spirit of party spread around its votaries, -that some are to he found %silo can Suit their faith to their convenience, and having declared her guilty before she was accused, declare her ►potless after her conviction ; like the bigot who said 'credo pia imposo•ihile eat, •their assurance of her purity - inerea4es with the arguments against it, and becoming the champions of this immaculate Messalina, they will push their zeal for her to any extreme, brit that of faking. their wives to visit her. A few of them have even committed this; but you,'Sir, I am persuaded,t,will not augment the number. • , _ _ Others, however, (anti I conceive that Lord Grey is of this description) make a distinction between legal and mural eri • Bence, and say that, although the guilt is established in our belief, the proofs of it were not judicially conclusive. This re finement is suitable to judges, hut is too metaphysical for common use: evidence which hi ings conviction to mv under standing is sufficient to direct my private judgment. Unques tionably, legal penalties cannot be indicted when there is de ficirncy of-legal proof': Out if the proof be morally decisive. I know not how an honest man can countenance the culprit; yet meetings like that which you convoked du in fact cotintenanct the tiuceu j they are hriiled With shouts of triumph by bet 41 Acts, zeil. 4. partizans, and stamp a currency on her behaviour ; they itt social e her cause, her fame, her deeds, and her &podium' with names that ought to shrink (ruin such a junction. Oh !- Sir, let us not teach our countrywomen that our esteem - and good opinion are of no importance; that if they keep beyond the lash °flintier, they may sin with safety, and he surfeittig with popular applause ; let those Who think the Queen is iti nocent, or who, like her, not the worse fur being others Ole, subscribe their 501. to furnish her with plate, which, if God in his mercy shall remove her from these shores, she miff take abroad without dishonesty ; let them applaud her sym pathy for a female criminal convicted of uttering forged notes, an offence as venial, no doubt, as the forgery of bonds ; but let not the Wise and good do homage to pin" lotion. Sir, I shall probably have occasion to trouble you with 3 - second letter, relatin ,, to the real object of the County Meet' ing ; but before I take my leave of you at present, permit me to suggest that instead of Petitions to the two Houses of Parliament to prevent the recurrence of a trial similar to tht!' which you condemn, the more obvious mode would be to p tition her Majesty never again to give occasion for it. I have the honour, &c. &c. Dec. 20, 1820. THEMIS. MURDER AT HOXTON. [FURTHER PARTICULARS.] The death of the unfortunate man who wits killed in Rhodes' fields by some person unknown, hai beets followed by a very melancholy event. He had resided at tiro Rose and Crown public-house, Bunhill-row, about 13 weeks; and very soon after his arrival at that house introduced young female, who he said was his wife, to Mr. Peareey, the landlord, requesting that he would provide a room for the accommodation of both, for a short time. The landlord see big that the woman was a person of respectable appearance. and having observed that, during the time the unfortunate mats had been in the house, there had been nothing whatever objec tionable in his conduct, agreed, without as sitation, to the terms proposed by him, and both were at once admitted to a room. The name by which the man introduced his wife was Taylor, and it has been since ascertained that it is his real name. She had at the time she went to the house S or 3 trunks, which were very heavy, but the pressure of bad circumstances (it is supposed) in a short time rendered it necessary for her todisposer of most of the contents for the support of herself and her husband. They were very economical in their conduct, and paid for every thing they had for some time; but a short time before the death of Taylor, they found it necessary to run itr debt to Pearcy for the necessaries of life. The female, whose clothes whets she first took up 'her abode at the Rose and Crown were very good, gradually became shabby, and at length she presented the appearance of a person in great distress. Taylor had always appeared as a working man, but had not been at work for some time. The last yob he had, it is supposed, he had at Dulwich, where he was em ployed as a bricklayer. His clothes underwent no change ; but his conduct became more reserved, and he seemed constantly in a state of weariness and apprehension at the difficulty of pro-- curing work, which be always expressed a willingness to under take at any price. His wife's conduct was t he counterpart of his and the last moments of her life evinced the powerful sincerity of her feelings. On Friday morning last Taylor left the house soon after tOo'clock in the morning, with the view of looking fur work. It was his custom to return at an early hour after a disappointment. Mrs. Taylor was not alarmed at his ab sence until that absence far exceeded the usual hours of la bour. Her distress at his stay then because very great ; and all the efforts of the landlady, who humanely represented the various circumstances which, at Christmas, were likely to keep a man from home, were ineffectual in giving consola tion. The night pasied over, but the terrors of the un fortunate young woman increased with the appearance of. day. She wandered about the house, in a state border ing upon distraction, the whole of Saturday, and would listen to no suggestion of comfort. Her conversation became incoherent; but she, retained her faculties suf ficiently to judge, upon hearing that a man had beets killed under . peculiar circumstances, that he was her nsisera hle partner. The fact had been disclosed to her as de licately as possible on Stioday by the landlord. and after the first transport of grief subsided she expressed a most anxious wish to see the body of the deceased. Mr. Pearcy, who by no means apprehended fruits her ntanner that she entertained a thought of destroying herself, represented to her that there were sonic improbabilities as to the deceased being her hus band, but expressed no very sanguine expectations of the con trary, the description given in the Newspapers of the person, and the indigents circumstances of man and wife having givra too much colour of probability to the tear. He consented to attend her to Shortditch Church on Christmas morning, and after another day spent in misery the poor creature retired to her bed ; 9 o'clock in the morning was the time at which Mrs. Pearcy and she were to set off. The hour arrived, hut she did not make bersppearance below stabs. At 10 Mr. Pearcy de termined to call her up; but knocking at her door he was sur prised at receiving no answer. He then went to the room next hers, where the partition was thin, and knocked very loudly and called Mrs. Taylor to get up ; still no answer was given. Mr. Pearcy then ran Up stairs and called loudly to Mrs. Taylor, who, apparently with great difficulty, said, " I can't get up, I can't get up." Mr. Peavey at the same time thought he heard a strange noise. With the assistance of a young man who lodges in time house, he broke down the partition and saw a very dreadful spectacle. The poor wretched creature was lying in bed bleeding at the t hrust, and at both arms. She was still alive, but the effusion of blood was so violent, nothing but the most immediate aid could be of the slightest avail. Unfortunately, even that proved abortive. Mr. Pearcy rats for a. surgeon, while time young man who joined him in rendering as sistance placed clothes to the neck of the sufferer, and endeav oured to stop the blood. In a few moments she was a corpse: The last words she had spoken were those which she addressed to the landlady. At the bed side was lying a carving knife covered with blood, and her scissors. Time surgeon, upon. examitoug thme body, ascertained that the deceased bad three wounds in the neck, one of which extended several incites into time throat, and was sufficient to deprive the deceased of life. '1 he wounds in the neck wet e stabs; those on the arms appeared to have been inflicted with the same instru ment, and the surgeon was of opinion that the knif:: was that instrument. The sister of the unfortunate young female has been at the house to see the body, and we understand that her situation is in calamity very little short of that to which the deceased was reduced upon hearing of the dreadfurcatas trophe of Taylor in Rhodes'-fields. The brother of Taylor has been at the house. He is a very decent man. Mr. Prater says that Taylor always acted in his house in the tenderest manner to his wife, and was a very inoffensive man.
