LONDON JOU iltN ALS. [DAII,I" PLVI'R,-ICTS.] FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. t [British Press. THE QV' EE 14, —No attempt has been . yet Made in the Treasury Joninals to 'account for the charges against the Queen being confined to the three first years of her residence abroad. This circumstance, while it remains': withvnt a satisfac tory explanation, must strengthen •the suspicion that these charges have originated in a 'con spiracy. The-More remote the time is laid, the greater latitude is given'to-the invention . ; fiction is more free from restraint, and the more difficult it becomes: to detect and expose falsehood. During the inlluenco of a bibliomania„ we hate heard of old - books -selling at an extravagant price.. Wine also is enhanced in Value by age bait .is the first tune we have' ever heard that witnesses : could .deposo mere clearly to transaci tions of remote date, than to those which were fresh in their memory ; and that a lawyer •should contend that the stalet his -case- Was, the batter*' I f no cr::ninal iutercourse sebSisted between the parties for time last three years, it is incredible that any should have subsisted in the three im mediately preceding. [3lorning .Post] THE Qtr - ErN.--National character has been not very slightly manifested by the way in which the witne,:es at-tainst the'Queen hale been treated by too many among 4 Italy has been Made synonymous with prostitution, Italian with ras cal, .6 mnaii Nv itit perjurer, and ncr gcne tally with every thing that is wretched and cor rupt. It is, no doubt, a proud matter to set our supeFlative selves thuS aboNe the rest of mankind, and clai,Rall the perfectibility of nature for our-' selves., v.hile we as;ign to the remainder of our fellow-creatures (unhappily born out of this Island) the place of the dregs and off-scourings . of Humanity. But the worst of it is, that they to y to be even with us. In Italy, in particular, as we are authentically informed, there has not been a reproach cast by England upon the natives of that country, which has not been repaid in terms far from agreeable to such of our country men who still reside there. If we have depre elated their sense • of moral justice, they •have expressed the most galling compassion, for that silly portion of the English I?, , eople,. • who could se , -;nothing , would believe nothing, and suffered theraselves to be mi-sled by the artifices of the Lasest and most infamous of men. It is painful to think that whle.we are fancying ourselves so discreet, so clever, and so . superior to all the world,—all the world should be mocking us— the .kindest pitying our madness, and the mass splitting their sides at the enjoyment of the mi serable spectacle we offer to them. But so it is. - Our only consolation is the persuasion that John IBnll will at last return to his senses, and prove to the world that his error is up-rely that of the bead, and not in any degree of the heart. Tieatinir 11"itna4I.—A Paper of yesterday contains,trie following paragraph:— " The Marquess. and Marchioness of Sangrati, " tivosof the witnesses.on behalf of .the Queen, " ou Friday ; night at Lady ,Ann,flamil- , " t :; ' S house in Portman-street, where, they at` " 127esent reside.

But do 'we. complain, toiled that the Marquis and Marchioness Sang - rati have dined with her Majesty ? Far from it. Let all her..

For these lin prove:-.lents there can be -no better basis than ,the Constitqtiin. itself ;. for, .besides infusing rigour and life through all classes of the community, it secures persons and property, and insures an.up right.administration of justice, Under its au spices, agriCulture and cirnmerce will insensibly increase, so as to realize,all,the provident calcu lations of the Statesman who administers for the public good. The late change, at its very, com mencement, tended greatly. to improve the na tional crodat ; and,the GGvernment securities,,as well as all other kinds of, property, will, no doubt, rise still lkher in value the moment the new finance plans are put in. operation. The known capabilities, oi,Spain, the patriotistn exist ing,among her inhabitants, andltbe fresh testimo flies given'of the reliance that can he placed on tln nati*Onal honour,. will soon cause Spanish funds 0, bCCO4IB an object of :speculation to fo .

Thii we cannot be -t lieve ; the calumny carries 'with it its own. re fu tation. However desirous the Catholics may bo to participate in all the benefits of the Constitu • tion, they will never, surely, purchase this parti cipation at the expense of their C6VII honour. If they feel that injustice has been done, to • her Majesty, they will never consent to sup press that feeling, because, by doing so, they may prbrnote their own interest. We have always deeply lamented the Miserable, policy of whiCh Ireland has been the ,victi)n, and we rejoice to see that policy abandoned. To it shall alone must be imputed the wretched state of so fine a country. An ingenious people have, , by misgovernment, been exclUded froM all means of imp, ovement, and retained in a serni:-barbarous state, and the excesses which men in such a state are but too imbue to fall into, have been mad a pretext . for Withholding from them the only etnctive means for putting an end to these'ex cesses,and for diffusing throughout the country a. taste for the benefits of industry. and eiviliza tion.—(lbid.) [Nezt It is highly gratifying to observe, that while the internal peace of Europe is disturbed by so many agitations, the military glory of onr arms is.maintained with its wonted sPlendour'in those distant parts of the world where alone it has oc casion to .be displayed. The Bombay Papers; which have been received to the middle of March, state, that the objects of the expedition under Sir W. G. Keir have been fully attained, by -the entire demolition of the piratical ports, and'the extirpation'of the pirates who were So, long the scourge of those seas. • Not so much as a tower is left standing all along the pirate'coast, except those•occupied by our troops in Rhas El Kbyma and its vicinity.—Turning from:the con sideration of this .subject to the more intricate, and unpleasant one of the Revolutions on the Continent of Europe, we still find reason to clue yish the hope which we expressed yesterday, that the.disturbances in Portugal will, ere long, be brought to a reasonable adjustment. The Count: D'Amaraute (better known as General Silveira). appears to have (acted with . "•great spirit and .promptitude in support of the 19wful Govern ment established at Lisbon : and as that Govern ment has adopted the resolution of convoking the Cortes of - the kingdom, it may well be ex pected that the people of Oporto will cheerfully acquiesce in this arrangement. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (From The Leeds Intelligence,* qf the IStit iost.) The result of the late trials for high treason in this e . ounty, and in Scotland,must have convinced everyman of the existence of a treasonable conspira cy in the kingdom; and also of the lenity with which the Government have visited the crimes of the of fenders.. Can it be possible, then, that any other sentiments than those of indignation can be felt at the attempts made by a set of desperate villains to mislead the public mind ; to turn the sentiments of gratitude, which ought to be the animating im- ' pulse of those who have experienced the paternal mercy of the 'Government they would have de-, stroyed, into hatred; 'and to:persuade the people that cruelty, not lenity, has marked the conduct of the administrators of our laws? Such efforts are now most assiduously making, threugh the means of that licentious portion of the press, which first lured the unfortunate victims of its pernicious doctrines into crime. In the shop windows of the wife of the convicted infidel Carlile, (she is one of the Ladies appointed to receive subscrip tions for the Queen's plate), a placard was last week: exhibited, containing-the following expres sions ; " The present Administration not yet sa tiated with blood. An account of the Murder of James. Wilson:at Glasgow;": and a radical book seller in this 'town,- Who took a leading part in the late radical meeting to address the Queen, announces, " A letter to Mr. Justice Bayley on the injustice and. tyranny of the secret trials now pending at -York for high treason !" Both thest precious productions .are calculated to inflame . and irritate, most unjustly, the feelings of that' portion of the lower classes, who .spend their hard-earued pence in purchasing the pernicious -trash thus forced upon their notice. In addition to these attacks on' the administration of justice, the windows of the radical booksellers are crowd ed .with gross caricatures, and doggrel verses, libelling the King, and tending to bring him into contempt with .his subjects,; whilst the system of placarding is still pursued,'tho' n0t,40 openly as it was a few weekS b'ack,, which is chiefly ow ing to the' vigour . of the London Police, who are very vigilant in defacing these excitements to riot ; 'and in apprehending the men who post them. A stranger, on viewing these incessant efforts to, excite discontent and disaffection; and cost piing them with the speeches of our opposition ists, at public meetings, and in parliament, would naturally suppose, that,the British nation groaned under a tyranny, the most odious and despotic. Ite might, indeed, wonder at the license such a government allowed to its opponents ; ,bnt he .could scarcely believe that he was in a country, whose constitution was the envy of surrounding nations ; where justice was equally dispensed to all ; and, where the laws were administered with a clemency and forbearance,, which reflected the highest credit on the persons intrusted with that important duty. Such, however, is the fat:t ; and we (li t re. either the whig or radical oppo nents of Government to controvert it. Their nefarious conduct is the result of a wicked ambi-, • tion, not of patriotism ; of a hankering after the loaves and fishes of office, not of a regard for the puhllt weal ; in- shot-t, filtitiv 0 kind their princiMes are equally di!'graceful ; equally trn wrth \ of men of common _Case or common ho ne:ay. In Spain, Naples, - and Portugal there might, it deed, be an e' cure for those who advocated and arranged the measUrds which led to the late revolutiens in tho , t , countries ; but there is none for those who seek to bring abo'at a revolution in England. There, the form of ;government was most det,poti"C; the ancient free comtitutions had been gradually subverted, and absolute iAlo narchies raised on their ruins. Here, the very contrary has been the cause. The alterations which have taken place in our Constitution, have been for the benefit of the people ; who, under our ancient, establishments, were. as great slaves (or perhaps greater), than those of Spain, Por.; algal, and Naples, before the late eha,lges.—The revolution of 1(388 'has conferred privileges upon us, which our ancestors never dreamt of ; and it is impossible that any just or equitable motive can influence those, Wtlo are daily striving to goad the people into rebellion against a govern , meat, under which they have enjoyed', and do enjoy, greater blessings, than fall to the lot,of the inhabitants of any other Country under heaven. These short-sighted demagogues will, hoive 7 , or, we trust, find, that the storm which they we nld raise against their King and / kis Ministers, will ultimately burst upon themselves. A people once so famed for their loyalty, can never long be'deceived 'try the artifices of knaves and Mad men; but will soon, leave them to play their " fantastic tricks," with no ether. auditor than the winds, and dismiss 'them to obscurity and contempt. • COUNTRY NEWS. OUTRAGE AT OXFORD. Oxroan, SEPT. 'l9, Seven p. 111.—N - ester4ay: evening the adjoining houses of Messrs. MuNo Y and STATTint, Printers and Publishers of The 0:r -lord Herald,.were attacked by an infuriated mob, which, after filling; the air with cries of sedition,. proceeded to break the windows with stones of a: considerable weight, and, happily without success, attempted to break open the doors. I need not describe to.you the stale of the families of those Gentlemen; unapprised of the intended riot,they had Temained in the house, and escaped not without ,danger of losing their lives. The cause of this most wanton,,cruel, and most outrageous attack; was not .so much the baying taken the part of the Government in the present question, as, if it can be credited, the not hayingdeclared: themselves. decided and staunch friends of Queen. Caroline. Nearly all the windows, and many of. the frames, were broken, hardly a room being left. in an habitable state.. At this present ruo ment I hear the .attack is about to be recom menced against these ill-fated houses ; but as a great number of Gentlemen and respectable Trades men have been sworn special constables, we sincefely hope the consequences will not be so, serious as yesterday. NEWCASTLE-thON-TYNE, SEPT. 19. THE QU E EN'S PLATE.-On Friday evening, a meeting took place at the Long-Room of the White Hart, in this town, " to consider of the pro priety of commencing, in Newcastle, a subscrip, tion of ls. each, in conjunction with the inhabi tants of the metropolis and other parts of the king dom, to purchase for her Majesty a service of plate suitable to her rank, and expressive of the sympathy and generosity of her people." Mr. W. A. Mitchell was "called to the chair. After he had stated the object of the meetin!;, Mr. Mackenzie addressed the company on the insults, the scan dalous treatment, and the mode of trial, to which her. Majesty had been subjected, and concluded by moving a series of energetic resolutions, which were seconded by Wm. Pollard, Esq., in an elo quent speech of considerable length, and carried unanimously. The subscription was immediately, entered into, and from the,spirit which the assem- , bly displayed, and the enthusiasm that geneially l prevails, there is no doubt that it will be most; respectable. STInFFIELM The following incident', which occurred in ,this town (raring the time the Female Address to her Majesty was signing, shewS how much import ance we ought, to attach to such productions. A woman behig asked whether she had signed the LadieS' Address to the Queen, answered" Yes, certainly, and for my daughter too; for although she has been dead for these sixteen years, I know she would haVe done so had she been liv ing."

' It appeared, in evidence, that he was knapping the flint of a gun on his km.“, wlu it went otr, and the contents lodging in the right breast ofshis Nlvife, caused her instant death. 'Fite gun had been previously mosed about in va rious directions, pointing to other persons, and it was believed that Amess did not know that it was charged, as he a ppeared•to be much frighten ed after the accident.

They returned a ver dict of " Accidental Death:" and Amess, who had been taken into custody, was ordered to be discharged. SCOTLAND.
