LONEON JOU ItNALS. 11)_4ILI"EXTE.ICTS.] FROM THE MORNING P tI'ERS OF THIS DAY. I:llLor;iiiig . Post.] TI I E Cti E EN. In the House of Lords, the second reading o the Royal Divorce or Pains and Penalties Lill was Blast uight fied. for ThursiWthe 17th ( August. The Earl of Liverpool, in making this proposition, observed that after the last appeal which had 'been made to the House on behalf o . the Queen,' to proceed immediately to the in ,_vestigatitnt of the charges agaiot . her, it was ne -cessary that their Lordshim , could answer that call as promptly as might be consistent with impartial justice. Governed by these princi ples, it was obvious, in reference to the Assizes now about to commence, that the shortest prac ticable period at which they could have the ne cessary assistance of the Judges was the time . mentioned ; and should any further. alteration be ;claimed by her Majesty, it would be highly de _sifable that her wishes should be made known to the House in a few days. A more fair or ,equitable course than that proposed by Ministers . y in this case, has certainly never been pursued . .in any age or country. Were they to comply with the prayer of the last Petition -of. the Qqeen, and proceed immediately to trial, severe complaint might justly be urged against them ; for her Majesty in that case would lose the ad vantage of the presence of the Judges during the examination, of the witnesses against hcr, while she would go. to trial without any means of .dis-. _proving the allegations Of the evidence, from her ,having .no witnesses of her own to repel the heavy - charges which she will have to meet. In .stead; therefore, of going to trial under all the .fearful disadvantages which she seems herself to invite, the Noble. Prime. Minister of his Majesty, .in 'the true. spirit of British Justice, proposes that :course through .which: alone a fair, just, and. •honest investigation can take place, by procuring the assistance of the Learned Judges of the laud to regulate and decide upon the validity of the . evidence against her, affording her at the same time every practicable and possible means of de fence.• Thus, whatever the result of these im portant proceedings may be, it is clear that :impartial justice is the only end sought to be ob tained by Ministers ; and steering the steady course of rectitude and honour, the.country will -render due justice to their endeavours in.so very interesting and important a pursuit. • • _ [Morning Herald.] It was said, last night, that a petition or re monstrance against the delay already fixed, will be presented, on the part of her Majesty, to the Muse this day. It was also understood yester day, that the Gentlemen of the house of Com mons, usually denominated " the country Gen tlemen," had recently met and communicated to Lord Liverpool certain principles as the basis of .the proceeding, without which condition their support would not be given. The suggestion of farther postponement or suspension by. Lord •Liverpool, as a substitute for the . specifica tion of charges and list of witnesses, seems wholly unsatisfactory. More delay would make no difference. If the second reading were put 4-,fr from five weeks to five months, the informa tion demanded would be as necessary for sub stantial justice" in the latter as in the former case ---and, if, after having heard evidence in support of the pains and penalties, time were given to procure witnesses to rebut that evi-, dence, the party accused would suffer the preju dice of imcontradi nted accusatorytestimony during the interval, which would in this case, probably amount to two months. " Substantial justice" is the phrase used by 'Ministers in both Houses, against the imputed want of . precedents for the course they have adopted. Will not 46 , substan- , tial justice" equally excuse any irregularity, if it exist, in the point before us ? It is doubly expe dient that substantial justice should not only be administered---but that it's administration shOUld be open and indisputable in this proceeding. In the first place, by an impartial, liberal, measure of the means of defence, the Queen may best prove herself (if she really is) innocent---a result the most desirable in every view, moral and political, the most honourable to the Nation and to the Crown.--Secoridly, if the Queen be pronounced guilty, but after a fair,.open, strait forward trial, the public sentiment and opinion will move in unison with the , decree of the Le gislature. • be examined at its bar. This offence at once sets at nought the authority of the Legislature, and saps the very foundations of justice. What ! is the highest tribunal in the land to be told " you shall not examine witnesses ; we, the mob, ill effectually close the avenues to truth against ,you, by intimidating and assaulting those ' persons from wheal alone the 'real facts are to be. learnt ?" .If sucii a daring viola tion of all order be tolerated, we may bid adieu to the safety even of our very lives; we shall live under mob-law ; and whosoever becomes the object Of a savage war-whoop, on the pre tence of harbouring the witnesses of the Crown, may soon fall a victim to the ferocity of the rabble. It appears, that the persons who landed at Dover have been again suit oat of the king dom by the way of Harwich. This may have been a prudent precaution, to prevent their being tampered with; but still the populace must not be allowed to believe, that the law is not strong enough to protect witnesses in this country.

Nli)rairig, 34 inittotts after 3.—Evening, ta imitates attar a Pritish Press.] The day has at length been appointed by the House of Lords for the commencement of the Queen's trial—for the. commencement of that great and solemn proceeding to which even foreign na tions look with deep interest or vulgar curiosity, but which excites in this country an awful and im pressive sensation of mingled astonishment and apprehension. The day appointed is Thursday, the 17th of August, on which day Lord Liver pool intimated his intention of moving the second reading of the Bill for degrading the Queen, and for dissolving the marriage subsisting between her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort. [New Times.] The disgraceful outrage at - Dover was men tioned last night, with proper reprobation, in the House of Commons. We presume it will be more seriously noticed in the House of Lords. In 1765 Sir John Fielding and other Magistrates were reprimanded by the House of Lords, for not doing -their duty in suppressing riots, which im peded the business of Parliament ; and a resolution of both Houses was then entered into against en couraging mobs, in order to hinder any matter depending. If ever there can be a contempt rpinst either House of • Parliament, calling for its instant and severe anhnadversiog, it is the insulting and maltreating of witnesses who are to THE SUN. SoLLM OUTS DICER.E . F4LSUM 4tIDE.IT? LONDON; • TUESDAY; JULY •,. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The Chamber of Deputies were again occupied on Friday with the Ways and Means ; the discussion of which was further ad journed till Saturday. The following are ex tracts " PARIS, JULY 8.---Thursday evening at ten o'clock the Duke Decazes had an audience of the King. His Majesty transacted business in the course of the day with the Duke de Riche lieu, and the Count de Pradel, Director of the Ministry of the King's Household. " Disturbances which had no political motive, and which only arose from the weakness of the Company, having taken place for two days at the Rouen Theatre, and assumed a grave character, which rendered necessary the intervention of au thority, the Theatre has been closed until further orders, by an arrete of the Mayor. FIVE PER CENTS. Friday . 79 f. 10 c. DEFERRED STOCK Of the 22d March, i Never, we may confidently say, since the in stitution of Courts of Justice, has there been a tribunal better qualified to administer Justice than that to which the case of her MAJESTY will hereafter be submitted. We are not, as our conduct has often, indeed, we may say, has alto gether, demonstrated, the passiie instruments of Ministers, though we are firmly attached to a Government which, acting upon the system of Mr. PITT, has preserved this Country, and rescued Europe. As a proof of our independence, we from the first expressed_ our decided disapproba tion of the course of conduct from which Minis- ters were diverted, after the QUEEN had de manded an open and immediate trial. We admit, however, that they might appear to have been too rigorous, if they had not listened to pacific propo sals, but we constantly maintained that no com promise could be admitted after so open, so formal, and so solemn a demand on the part of the QUEEN, without disgrace to all parties, a sacrifice of justice, and an insultirig indifference to public opinion. She will now have a: fair, full, and upright Trial, by pure, unblemished, anti im partial Judges, and happy shall . we be if her innocence shall be so satisfactorily Manifested to all mankind as to justify her investment with all the honours and privileges that belong to her elevated station, and to afford all the atone ment which a just and generous People can offer to injured and suffering virtue. The affair of the.NEW BARRACKS which are to be built in the Regent's Park does not appear to be understood. The contract is, that on condi tion of the persons contracting to build them, they shall receive 85100 annually, the present rent paid for the king-street Barracks for 31 years, at the end of which period they will become the property of the Public. Now, as the price for building such Barracks is estimated at 70,0001., we should consider the interest of that money, and calculate the loss the Public would suffer for that number of years ' Thus, say 5 per cent. for 7u,000, would be And 1 per cent. Sinking Fund, to pay off the 4oan of such sum 7OO And dividing the sum of 70,0001: in 31 years, amounts to, per annum . 2,250 Loss to tho Public, if Government were to build the Barracks £6;450 The sum they are now to pay is . 5,400 Therefore they gain the difference . 1,060 As a great proportion of our Readers are interested in the prosperity of our Commerce, we have deemed it our duty to insert at length the First Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords (See our First Page), appointed to in quire into the means of extending and improving the Foreign Trade of the Country. It is a very important Document, and will ha read with great attention- in the Commercial World. We cannot doubt that the Committee endeavoured to procure the best evidence on the subject, but it is of a.very important nature in a political as well as mercantile point of view, and the chief attention ought certainly to be directed towards what, in relation to our Colonies, must bt deemed vital interests of the Empire. It is allowed that a great and productive increase of the trade with Canada, and of the tonnage: employed to import its Wood into this Country has taken place. This increase ought to be cultivated rather than hazarded by a removal of re strictions on Foreign Imports. It is admitted also, that any material diminution of the Duties on Foreign Timber would of course diminish the demand for Canada Timber, and af fect the profits of the Capital now vested in Saw-Mills and other Machinery in Canada. Discontents would of course naturally arise in that quartet, the prosperity of which, we ought as much as possible to promote, consistently with the general interests of the Empire. The Committee say, they do not think the facility of procuring the best and cheapest commodities from other Countries would be ultimately 'de trimental to the interests of our Navigation and Shipping; but this is matter of opinion and speculation, and sound prac tical men think otherwise. The committee indulge a confident hope, that the consideration of the state of other branches of Trade in which they are about to engage will suggest the means of giving additional employment to the Shipping of this Coun try. This also is matter of opinion, unless it is meant to open a Trade with the revolted Colonies in Spain. But let us nut forget the wise fable of the Dog and the Shadow, nor part with solid possessions for speculative and uncertain advan tages.' But, we shall content ourselves pith referring to the Report itself at present, and we again assure our Commercial Readers, that our columns shall be open to their communica tions on a subject so vitally connected with our Colonial prosperity, our Navigation Laws, oar Shipping Interests, our Naval Ascendancy,. our Domestic Relations, and whatever in deed may affect our Political as well as Commercial character. It should seem by the following letter from Harwich, as if some of the Italians, who lately came to this country, have already departed HARWICH, JULY 9.---Considering it may be of some interest to know what has become of the persons who landed at Dover, said to be witnesses against the QUEEN, I write you to say the following embarked here yesterday - on board the Earl of Leicester packet, for Roland : ---Casena, Martinella, Antonia Taliabo, Galdina, all inhabitants of Como; and Cartz, whose suite the other four are said to be of. Theirappearance is very wretched. This day eleven more of them, among whom was a woman, arrived from London, and embarked for Holland on board the Prince of Orange, Captain T. 13ainGt." The advices from . Dover yesterday state, that the Mayor, &c. are very active and vigilant to anprehend and bring to justice the most active of those persons concerned in their late brutal conduct to the poor Italians. ADDRESS OF THE CATIIOLICS OF IRELAND.— Yesterday, at one o'clock, Lord KENMARE wait ed, by appointment, at Whitehall upon his Ma jesty's Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, accompanied by Mr. Devereux, one of the Gentlemen of the Deputation. Lord Sidmouth named to-morrow se'nnight as the day on which his Majesty would receive the Deputation ; at the same time intimating the gracious pleasure of the King, that if that day was considered to be too distant for the convenience of his Lordship and of the'Deputation, who had come so far for the purpose of presenting an Address, an ar rangement would be made to receive the Deputa tion at a Council. Lord Kenmore expressing the most grateful feeling of the Catholics of Ireland for this marked condescension on the part of the King, said that they would, have the honour of presenting their Address upon the day already named by his Majesty. A considerable sensation has been excited at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, by the conduct of its Re presentatives on the subject of the TIMBER Du- TIES. It is understood that -the Corporation of the Trinity House of that Pori applied to them on the' subject, and the last letters from New castle state, that it was generally reported that the application had not been noticed. We mention the rumour as it reached us, but we cannot sup pose that there is any foundation for it, as the influence of this highly respectable Corporation, and the urbanity of the Ilonourable Members render it very improbable. We learn by late advices from- Buenos Ayres, that the partisans of ALAVA had committed great excesses, robbing and murdering numerous indi viduals. An Edict of the Supreme Diiector, SARATEA, had been issued on this subject. The Duke of YORK transacted military busi ness with the KING yesterday. The QUEEN rode through Hyde Park on Sun day, when it was most thronged, and proceeded to Barnes, in Surrey, where she has taken a villa for the summer. Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness Prince LEopor.n arrived at Marlborough-house from Claremont. Lord CASTLEREAGH returned to town yester day afternoon from his seat, North Cray.
