Cri- Mitial as' is the fatter, sourc e:tense, or at least some palliation may often he found for it in the temptations of natural pas sion ; bnt the, case here supposed; is one which, • for the gra. tification of a passion the roost diabolical, plants in the breast of another the most rankling wound. This is the act not of a female but of a fiend - . Again, the females of Blitalit have a right to demand from their Queen, an • example, if not of eminent virtue, yet, at least, of de cency; but the very supposition here is, that all decency was shaken oil'; for appatenf indecency of conduct is stated to have been adopted by the Queen, for the express purpose of mak icg ti' tiers believe her evety.thing that was infamous! Let us soppose such conduct to be adopted in common life. Let us figqre to ourselves the daughter of a respectable family sharnelessly walking the streets in company wills common prostitutes, assuming their air and- manners,RrecV!eriting their" haunts, and - leyitig openly with their paramours, in short, taking all imagiOable paiOslo . persuade the world i bat she was. as guilty as any of her associates; would any mo dest. woman afterwards look at or speak to such a disgrace to lTee sex ? Wotild any body listen for a Moment to her assertion, that she '' had taken right good care all the tittle that •in thii there should not be the• least reality ?" —'tiro things, !towered., are very. observable in this • edioin defertee of her Majesty. First, , that it en • tieely exculpates the Ministers, and every bode that reptitsented her to be gutty, because, on this supposition, sae laboured to make them bclieVe so; their opinion was the reason-able and proper inference from her actions, and if they bid .s"t entertained it, she would have been disappointed in the whole of her scheme. Consequently the clamour of con - soirtityagainst the Queen was most base, because (upon this , supposition) she all along knew it to be.entii ely unjust, and • v. - es indeed in a conspiracy herself to deceive her prosecutors ant' alit whOle of the public. Secondly, this hypothesis coin p teteiy estab s the character of Demont, Majoechi, dud the 'other witnesses for the Bill, who have been so etattourousie vilified. The Queen's defender alleges, that the most consionmate art and pains were taken to cre• ate those very appearances to which' the witnesses depos ed.

We have to thank her Majesty that she (though to d o her jostle:: we have no reason to suspect that suet% was her intention) has made the people in many parts of the country forget those distress.es about whict; they were clamorously loud before her arrival. The pressure of the Natirtnal . Debt, tilt it was lately revived b . ) that protouod and accomplished politiCian,Mr. P. Moore, bas been wholly lost sight of. There has been it remarkable lack of distress from the Ridings of Yorkshire—an absence of tumult in the mannlacrurrng districts—no new casualties have lately reached town trout Manchester---and all the en ergies of Major Cartwright have failed to make the people very sore )I.t the subject of Parliamentary Reform.—lf, these things afford pleasure to- those who are, like us, disposed to be " Pleased with each good that Heaven to man supplies," what must be the joy.uf each Irked to his country, when he contemplates the opulence which the inhabitants . of this. vast Metropolis, and the parts immediately adjacent, are proved to have obtained ? it a year ago we had proposed that a De putation from each of the Trades—frum each of the Benefit Clubs—nay, from every Parish within some miles ot London, to congratulate the King on the prospect of a continuance of peace, or on any other great National blessing,. what should we have been told All the sneers and reproaches with which we were honoured for fayooring the Jubilee of ISO 9, when a revered Monarch entered his fiftieth year, and that of 1514., when British Victories had given the world repose, would have been' revived. However indisputable the good which we might have suggested, called for such a mani testatioo of public feeling, we sherd(' have been assured that it . was in vain to address such a recommendation to an im poverished people,- ruined by taxation, and stripped of the last guinea by the warrt of a Reform in the House of Com mons. " What !" they worild have said, " you want Its to send up processions in open landaus and carriages, each drawn by four horses—you want the Temple to decorate themselves will. ribbons; to ,dress themselves in finery: to put cbase Hags nod . banners ; and to .illominate their windows; lint where is the money to collie from ? There is every disposition on the part of the people to mark their gratitude far the good accomplished ; but, unhappily, the re lentless hand of the tax-gatherer has taken frost them the, fueans cut doing'so.--ln other times—in the good old days of .Queen Bess—the people of England might amuse themselves with pageantS, rejoicings, and illuminations . ; but now they are so'ground down by Mioisters and their satellites, that they must take less ostentatious methods of stressing their joy and proving their gratitude. !'his is the sort of lecture we should have received ; and we should have been referred to the depressed state of agriculture, and the general .stag nation of. trade, to prove that, compliance with such a recommendation would have been tkut only difficult, teat iurpossilde. But look at the fact ; look at the display which the . Queen has been the means of calling forth ; nerd then we should like to know what people on earth, but the suffering, and oppressed, and exhausted inhabitants of London and its vicinity, could afford to waste such enormous sums as have been expended in these amuse ments. That many of the Ladies, in their borrowed gowns and slippers, were any thing but respectable in appearance, we cannot deny; bin in what other country in Europe, or the world, could the basket-women and stall-keepers atlord to leave their hninble industry, and pay even for the luau of gew gaais, like those in which the tripe-sellers and apple women of England have lately been bedizened for a day ? It would puzzle a greater traveller than Mr. Hobbouse to give a sa ti,factory :SUMO' to this qivestion. Not even in Turkey, where, according to lsim, the people ate strangers to the want of a Parliamentary Reform, did Mr. John Cam Hob house ever discoser anwne the lower classes the means of indulging in such expensive foolez ies. While we lament that such air exhibition should have been mauls on .cipaclt iset occa- Sant—Veil le we are indignant that the nation should tie. de graded by such doings in honour of a convicted criMinal, still exult—that bad as our affairs may be in some instances —that great vas the distress - unhappily existing among many of the labouring and must meritorious classes undoubtedly is, there still remains so much of opulence to the-lower orders as to enable them thus to celebrate any event that affords them pleasure; and we sincerely rejoice in the practical re• futation it kirri to Sir F. Burdett, Samuel Waddington, Sir It. Wilson, Gate Juno% 3liti Co., and to all those who de seg Rue the whole nation, the suoporters •of the Government excepted, to l o ser been consigned to utter ruin, abject want, and hopeless misery. [Morning Chronkle.] . b The inconsistency of the advocates of Ministers is tru amusing,. Lt one moment ate are threatened with an abso lute inundation of Loyal Addresses - front all parts of the country—we are told of -4 ` the declarations of loyalty, which are pouring like all impetuous tide . round the throne ;" Itiat the conviction of the citteeti's iiThocence is only enter tained by a few of. the veriest rabbleiliat the machinery of the .Addrits;:es is worked by a very few hands," 'who " continue IW)Ving round and round in their circle, and giv ing us duplieates.and triplicates o f th e mselves in these th e ir • vat loos cApacitieS." I-happy filinistry,—enviable prospects, it these accounts are to be relied on! Supported by a deveit -seth, a confiding and united People, what have they to fear front the descrintion.of persons who alone are opposed to them, tiannly those-who according to a certain EVellifrg Pa per,.go to announce to her Majesty, " that they think her much more innocenter now than before?" This is an xtra ordiri3ry conjuncture indeed ! But then unluckily we are ,• immediately told, that •• the Press of the present moment is I , not free ; it is under the domination of One of the most base, barb:4loas and brutal factions ever' banded together against the freedom nod happiness of mankind—a faction which deals in unmeasured calumny, and enforeei its sovereign enact ments by the outrages of a tool). The press is rapidly ap airuaching the state in which it was at the opening of the bloody Revolution in France, when it was free to utter every reproach; every calumny, every falsehoodt that malignity could devise against the King , the Nobility, or the Clergy; but • Whin to be a loyal, an honourable, or a religious writer was to become a'-mark for the most shameless slander, the most unrelenting persecution, to be driven into exile, in dragged to the Lanterne." What then, this handful of rabble, which to appear any thing must give us duplicates and tripliCates •of itself, is at the same-Aime-ass--turrnidable„ as to lord it with sovereign authority over a united nation, the tide of *Wise declarations of loyalty " are trarying beneath its waters the unclean things which have been crawling over the land !”- Is it by way uf 'favouring the former doctrine of-the paramount ascendancy of the mob, and to impress it the more forcibly , on the timid, that thieves and ruffians seem at pre sent. to be openly connived at:by the Government Police? :for Where the City Polide acts, a very - different .state of things is seen. The light-fingered gentry and street robbet : k are cer tainly allowed to duplicate and triplicate themselves in a won derful .manner, and to matte themselves visible:to all but those 'whoouglit tosee them. But let that pass. The Press is not free ! What ! a pitiful rabble has the power .to force the Press to utter sentiments different front those which are acceptable to -its readers I The respectable part of the Press, to borrow the compiiment of Lord .Castiereagb, fenced in and protected by .taaes and high duties in such a manner, as to have its circu lationnearly 'confined to the opulent and middle classes of seiCiety, disregards their •sentiments, and attends.to nothing but the wishes of R.:rabble contemptible in numbers as intel lect All this is certainly very strange, hut we art required nevertheleis-to believe. it. We are required to beli e ve that the People of England, whose intrepidity has hitherto been as unquestioned as their intelligence, suffer themselves to lie prostrate at that feet of an ignorant and conteMptible rabble, that, throngh fear of this rabble, therpitichase News• pa-Viers breathing sentlthents which. they not only do not ap prove of, lint hold in absolute abhorrence. People of a plain stay of thinking can hardly help feeling somewhat-startled at these contradictions and paradoxes. They might 'be apt to believe, indeed; that there is some constraint sin t h e l iber ty of the Press: a constraint which the supporters Of Ministers feel extremely , inconvenient. They arc, no . doubt, at. liberty to support Minister's; lint they thereby lose their readers Now, the support. of Ministers is often not without its advanta,es, but, to have • readers, is also a goOd thing; , and, .tnifortunately, the former and the latter are. some irrecorictlahle at the present nonnent. The Press, therefore, is not free ; it is—under'• constraint, .To this they must come at last in spite - of all .their :Corporation Ilddresses, all their shuffling and equivocation. The se cret cannot be concealed. Their falschoosls cut the throats. of each other. The influenCe•of• which they con►ptain.is the influence:of the:property,. the intelligence, amtthe industry •of England, which laugh all their hypocrisy, all their hollow sub terfuges to scorn. The people of England have; front the beginning, set themselves against the base artifices:resorted to by Ministers, and the.lawless measures which their das tardly subserviency*y_ induced them to adopt. The people of 'England are 'of an open; brave, and generous disposition---- they hate hypocrisy—they hate cowardice—they hate cruelty —and', above all, they hate , eruelty and cowardice when they see them exercised against a sex whom we are bound to pro ti ct and cherish. With religion and' morality. in their mouths, Ministers were. seen by the, people of England opening the flood-gates of profligacy and immorality—piiiseiningo without, - remorse and for the dirtiest of purposes, the most pitiful self interest, the unsuspectiog minds of our youth.—They saw them squanderiug the resources of a suffering people in the purchase of the vile means for effecting" their vile objects.—. Their veriest creatures are ashamed. of•. their conduct ; and while they come forward at the word Q 1 command with the hacknied expression of venal loyalty, they arecareful to de clare that they leave out of the question the conduct of Mi uisters—the conduct of the very men whom their Addresses are weaut td support. [British Press.] When the excitement caused in the public mind by the on- , ;tist proceedings against the Queen shall have subsided, that is,wheti-those who framed the conspiracy and directed the mass of perjury shall have received their merited punishment, we may then hope that the internal condition of the country will be deemed worthy of the serious attention,: not of the Legis lature alone, but of theenlig,itened classes of the community throughout all parts of the Empire. We are tired of hoping that Parliament will seriously undertake a review of the state of the nation. Session after Session since the return of peace have we trusted that the wisdom and humanity of the Legis lature would see the necessity of forcing such an inquiry upon the Ministers, hut our confidence,bas been deceived. The Ministers, as if delusion were necessary fey their own safety, Session after Session assure Parliament that no evil exists, no danger is to be apprehended but from the rash and impe tuous violence of their proud and pampered people, and at the moment that actual starvation was driving - thousands of the industrious classes of the State into madness and rebel lion, these wise Ministers declared that to the licentious ness -of the press alone conid the alarming state of the country be justly attributed., In the mean - time they maintain their War Establishment, and to prove their conviction that want arid_ misery could have no share in • producing the irritation in the public mind, they impose new taxes to the amount of three millions, and enact laws to prevent the people front ut tering their complaints. To the resident gentry then (Attie several counties Merle do we now look with any confidence, and we are not sorry to find it intimated, that at some of the county meetings now in the course of being called, for the purpose of preparing Addresses of Congratulation to. the:, • Queen, it is intended also to notice the state of the country. , The subject will, no doubt, be kept distinct from the question of the Addresses to her Majesty, but the opportunity afforded • by the numbers assembled for the one par pose . might be con - veniently chosen for collecting the sentiments of the respec tive counties Upon the other topic. The circumstance that now piesents'itself as. most observable in the slate of the country, is the depressed condition of agriculture. The dis couragement of tillage is so great, that in very many parishes lands which had been under tillage almost out of memory - have been resigned to pasture and still the average price of corn is: not sufficient to pay t he price of producing the di minished quantity. We are, however, far from thinking that this evil woulffbe remedied by the vulgar and obvious plan of excluding foreign corn, or subjecting it to a ditty amounting nearly to a prohibition- The existing evil appeals to us to be. a reaction from the operation of the corn Laws, and w.aild be most effectually corrected by 'their mitigation or • total abolition. [The Public Ledger.] According to advices of a recent date from Chili, the prepa rations for the expedition against Peru had been completed, and it was expected that the troops would he embarked with out further delay. The naval part, under the command of Lord Cochrane, consisted of eight vessels of war of cations' rates, and fourteen' transports: the former mounting .236 guns, and manned with 153E1 seamen., half of whom are Englishmen. The transports ' roost of which were armed, averaged nearly four hundred tons cacti. The troops des tined for this enterptire consisted of the following regi ments, viz. the Ist Cagadores of Coquimbo, the 2d, 4th, and 60 regiments of Chilean Infantt y, and the 7th, Eilli, and 1 Infantry,- Horse Grenadiers, Horse Cacadores, and Company o f Cortes of the Army of Buenos Ayres, to which was at tached a train of is pieces of artillery. The effective force is stated at 7,500.

To induce the Indians tujoin Ins standard, he pro claims the perpetual abolition of the tiibute to which they bare been subjected eversince the conquest of their country, and promises to inalse every exertion to ameliorate their con dition in other respects, and to elevate theta to the dignity ul freemen.

To profess, how ever, an affection for-peace, i 9 very easy ; but actions, not words, are the test of sincerity. A thousand instances might he adduced that words of peace have been in t he mouth,hut not in the heart, which is the most appropriate place for them to reside in. When firmly seated there, a suitable disposition and behaviour naturally ensueovitieb produce, as their fruits, all the things best calculated to promote the advantage of the country where they. grow, and the good of the individual by whom they are experienced. To this criterion the attention of our countrymen is espe tially called, at the present crisis. Let them rally around the energies of the State, with tranquil submissiun to " the powers that be ;" and, if there be any evils which stand iii need of correction, they may rest assured that, remedies•will arise out of patience and price, sooner than from any way ward impulses of-captiou s discontent, or -angry railing.
