WEEKLY R ETIMAPECT. The Whigs, or Democrats, or Radicals, or Po litical Non-descripts, for we know not by what name to call them, have been particularly busy (luring the past week. BUUDIM'S Anniversary Dinner was held on Tuesday, with the usual " Purity of Selection," when a silver vase was presented by the Parish of St. James's, in addi tion to the brazen one which he has already re ceived from St. Giles's. Its outside was very classical, Si circumstance which would have. of fended COBBSTT had he been there, and its inside' was an emblem of Parliamentary Reform —empty ! - The Baronet said, eeryjustly, that the People are virtuous, but misled by Pretend , rs; 'and his Col league proved every huffy wrong hut himself. As Iluvr is gone 'limn to 11 , 4u -stet, the Baronet had all sh e p o p u l cu ity I. himself, and sat out the c‘euing.—Next comes the Bill for High Treason,: found by the Gland Jury against EuwAnDS. So far the Alderintos's evidence may swear to the' story with safety ; bet if they come into Court, they come nut as King's Evidt-nce, and may learn that the story they told to that Gentleman may' hang themselves as high as !--'I-he fumes of Election disappoiu;inent are flyiug off its clamour against Sir W. Ctia - ris, respecting the receipt of Orphan Duties. Same people have a strange aversiou to Duties—either to pay, or let others receive them.—This grand selection for the holiday week of 'political trampoline clicks closest with Res.hitiOns and Petitions for Reform, equal to any of littenave4 conjurations ; for nobody could tell whence they came, where they went to, or what they were about. But it comes like inackarel and gooseberries in spring, green goose at Michaelmas, and mince-meat at Christmas ; and, like the Aldernn.►p's bob of tape or his own speeches, there is no end to it.—The CHAN- CELLOR has come down with his Loan, and the' political Bears, now turned to Bores, ,are below par, for the Fonds have got up . — Changes of Ministry, as usual, are gossiped about ; but Parliament have enough to do for the Session, without changes of Ministry. Besides, if these go out, who hare toe to come in ?- 7 -The spirit of liberality is she wing itself in long speeches and long Petitions against the spirit, and letter al4O, of our Navigation Laws, under which Britain has risen to what she is ! The First Lord of the Treasnty certainly agreed with, the principles, as abstract principles. Indeed there was only one objection which' he could bring against them, but that we conceive to be one of sonic, weight :—it was, that they manicl be not only erroneon, but destructive in praciice If time Country does owe any thing to Opposition, it is for having elicited such a speech as that of Lord LivEtdrout.'s on Friday last. It ought to be disseminated at large through every manufac turing district in the Country. His Lordship de monstrated that we have improved in all branches, are improving, and will improve ;--anti why Because his MAJESTY'S Ministers have sedulousl•: followed the system of Elm, whose Birth day, iu the past week, we have celebrated, and the day of whose death has been only saved from being a national curse, by the steady adherence to his principles on the part of his Friends, and the praiseworthy patriotism of the SOVEREIGN LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE INIORNINii PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronicle THE QUEEN. On the QueEN's arrival at Genes-a, owing to the fatigues which she had undergone, she became )ndisposed with rheu matic pains, and severe spasmodic attacks. In this situation, she sent forward a courier, kith letters announcing the pre carious state of her health, adverting generally to the inte resting state of her affairs, and requesting to he informed whether there was nu possibility of her being joined at Ge neva by Mr. Brougham. This Courier, on his route through Paris, where he bad also letters to deliver to Sir Charles Stuart, was stopped by that. Gentleman, who, it seems, had letters to forward to her Majesty, ,and who sent hint back to Geneva with those letters, be himself undertal,ing to forward ber Majesty's letters by his own courier to England. The:(Anirier reached Genera on his retort) on the night of Friday the 14th inst. Her Majesty had retired to rest, hut was immediately put in possession of the letters transmitted by Sir Charles Stuart, and was also apprized of the extraordinary step which he had taken Her Majesty iinmediatOy rose, and gave directions that the Chevalier Vasali, one of her household, who is gentleman of high character and distinguished merA,sl;,o:d be directed to prepare for proceeding forthwith, with otter lettess to London, which her Majesty then sat down to write. In these letters her Majesty complained of the interruptions which her courier had received—and added, that under such circumstances she had felt it necessary to send one of het own establishment to England. lice Majesty also said, that it it were inconvenient for Mr. Brougham to join her at Geneva , she would, on the return of her messenger announcing that fact, immediately proceed to one of the ports of Fiaricg, cal culated to afford the most ready communication with England' The Chevalier lost no time in executing the commission en trusted to him ; and a consultation was held between Mr . Brougham, Mr. Denman, and other distinguished individuals, on the ensuing day, as to the mode of proceeding which it would be proper to adopt. • Mr. Brougham felt, that, consistently with his public en meta:eats, it would be impossible for him to joi❑ her at so «'e received yesterday and this morning the Paris Papers of 'Thursday and Friday last. The discussion on the Elect l'rnjet in the Chamber of Deputies was at length closed on Thursday . , with the exception of hearing the Reporter, on - Friday. The Chamber of Peers met on Wednesday, and agreed to the Projet respect ing the Financial Accounts. This Chamber had sat us a Court up to Tues day last inclusive, from the Monday se'nnight preceding,•considerhig the case of Loured and his alleged accomplices. They came to a decision on Thursday respecting :he It h t of Lmirel ; and wtt It reference to the charges against other individuals, eighteen in number, of beiv,r4 implicated in the assassination. With regard to seven of these per. sons, viz. Dubois and his wife, Layet, Haqueville, Tontain otiterwise l'Eveille, Renard and Hw►nelut, the Couatprcia.gunced that there was no'ground • for prosecution, there being no trace of any of fence having been committed by them. Respect ing six others, namely, Gnillet, Vincent, Juglet, Giroux, Molus and Thomas, the Court also decided that there was no ground for prosecution, there not being sufficient• evide'nce of guilt. ,With refer ence to the other eve, viz. Pinut, Marin, Bourdin, Duval and Mauvais, the decision was, that there was no ground for prosecution before the Court of Peers, but as it appeared during the proceedings that there might be grounds for prosecution for other crimes or offences, the Court referred their cases to the Procurenr-General. With regard to Louvel, the Court 'formally declared him in a state of accusa tion, and his trial was appointed fur Monday next, the sth of June. Wednesday the KING received the Neapolitan Ambassador, and trausacted business with the Duke tie IlicHFLleti. A telegraphic dispatch received at Pa i ris an nounced the arrivil of the Duke d'ANootn.cats at Nanci on the 22a instant, . The Journal de Paris says, that two well dressed individuals, decorated with severai orders, arrived in a carriage at the F'tlace of Justice on NVednes day morning, and were escorted by police agents io the Cabinet of the Juge d'l,pst ruction, whither immediately afterwards GRAVIER was also cot . ►- eyed from his prison to be subjected to an iiiter togatory. Sandi was to be beheaded on the 20th instkut, in a plain adjoining the road between Manbeim and Heidelberg. An article from Corfu, of the 26!1i ult., men tions the same report that was recently in circn !talon here of ALt PAcriA having thrown Off his dependence upon the Porte, and declared himself King of Epirus. The following are extracts from the Papers of Friday : " PARIS, MAY 26.—Yesterday I,ir VAceilency Mirza Aboul Hassan Khan, the Przrsian Ambas sador, had the honour or pres , :nting to the three superb Persian horsb.

" Carlton Palace, April 2 . 1, 1820.". New York Papers arrived this moriiiiig to the' 23d April : (From the National Intelligeneer of the 12d April,) Congress will adjourn, it is said, about the 3d May. Don VtvEs has commenced his negocia tions, which it is presumed will be brought to r► close before the adjournment the news front Spain may perhaps accelerate this event. It is expected that both the Tariff and Auction Bills. will be discussed before the Session closes, but no-accurate. judgment can. he formed of the fate of either, though it may be predicted that the former cannot pass without material alterations. (Extract of a Letter dated St. Thinnas's, March •25.) " The Secret Expedition, which has been for some time delityed at Margaretta, sailed on the 7th ult. for St. Martha, a very rich place, the key to New Granada, where they certainly were not ex pected. The place in consequence must fall with out firing a shot ; it was fortunate the Expedition sailed wneu it did, as the 'Sfreuisit fleet, suptriut f I to that of the independents, appeat ed oft r it for the purpose of blockade, three days after, e and finding the bird had fl own, went in pu rsuit ° them with an intention, no doubt, to come 1111 with them." IN,SPNATE, 'APRIL 17.—0 n the MOtioll l‘fr f LOWNDES, the House proceeded to consider (1)6 Resolution submitted by him on Saturday, " 114 on the Committee of Madufactures to report Ceri lain information respecting the state of Matt lll4Ci tures in the !Juiced States. On this proposition arose a debate. Those ob (1 supported the motion argued, that eFlCO UrageM eil was demanded for our manufactures by incre ased duties, on the ground that they were oppr essed and mitred 9 that it was necessary to, have lb eig facts, to know how far their allegations w e° true or otherwise, to know whether the distrol? complained of was in fact real or suppositious' On the other hand it was argued, that he re 4 vision of the Tacit{ bad been . ro pos t d by f be Cotwniitee for considerations of national puli c) ' and tram a minute iuvestiption of details ; ID the information asked was not such as the Cog" Mirtee of this House ought to be required to give' and which eich 111etuhl.r could procure' for iti (l3 : ssif ; and that the adoption of th e rtsolve wo n 4 aerve the purpose of delay. The question token by yeas and nays, For the Resolution it So the Itsulye was vegatived, great a distance as Genera ; added to Which, where it iLight become requisite to have repeated interviews and consulta tions, it was considered that her Majesty being so far from the-scene of discussion might - be productive of great and seri ous inconveniences. Under these circumstances, it was de termined with as little delayas possible,to send the Chevalier Vasali back to Genera, with an humble request for s her Ma jesty to lose as little time as possible in pursuing her route ., to Calais, or to some other town contiguous t4the Beast, so as to be in close communication with the Englisli shore. Her person, since she left England in 1813, seems to be a good deal changed. She is not so fair as she then was, nor is she so stout—there is an air of melancholy langour about her manners which renders her very interesting. She lives al most entirely secluded. It is at present fixed that her Majesty will take up her re sidence at Dessin's Hotel, which has repeatedly afforded ac commodation to royalty; but she may herself determine to stop at St. Oiner's or Abbeville. The arrival of Alderman Wood in the town of Calais, pro duced among the English inhabitants (about one thousand in numbet) a considerable ferment. Many were for evincing those sent intents of attachment in the strongest manner; but in order that the, matter might be arranged in a proper way, the following cileular was issued on Wednesday : HER MAJi..STY THE QUEEN OP ENGLAND. '' Information having been received of the probable inten tion of her giacious Majesty, Caroline, Queen of England, to pass through this town, in her way to Dover, it is requested that the English inhabitants resident here, may attend a pub meetiog to be holden at the Silver Lion, Itue Neuf, on Thin sday evening, at seven o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consiiterat ion the course which it may be most expedient to adopt, with a view to pay to her Majesty that respect which is due irons every British subject to one holding so illustrious a rank, and•in the maintenance of whose honour and dignity every Englishman must feel an imperative duty." " Calais, eed May, 15'20." This Meeting was prevented by the Mayor, at the instiga tion of the British Consul, who declared his intention to send the circular to the Prefect at Arras; and the landlord of the Silver Lion was directed to refuse the party a room at his 'house. " Boulogne-sill-111er, May 26, 18-20. " Mr. Alderman Wood and Lady Anne J-Jamilto❑ passed through this town on their way, as is generally supposed, to meet her Majesty on Wednesday. A report prevails that her Majesty's route will be through Boulogne to Calais—this had led to a consultation among souse of the English inhabitants (of whom there are not less than three thousand), whether it may not be proper to oiler to her Majesty some mark of 11- spect as she passes." [Morning Poet.] TH E Brougham will certainly not go to Ge neva to meet her Majesty ; in consequence of which she is probably by this time on her way to Calais, where an Hotel is provided for her reception, but from certain considerations we deein it very unlikely that she will venture to conic to England. At Calais she will be enabled to communicate I most daily with' her legal advisers, who, we are happy to re peat,continue to give her thebest possible advice. If,therefore, she should be induced tocommit the rash act of comingto Eng lend, the unfortunate el ror will be exclusively her own.— Since the arrival of Alderman Wood in France, attempts have been made by certain English persons at Calais and Bou logne to • call public meetings to' address the Queen on her artiral at either of those places, but the Magistrates have strictly forbidden any such proceeding, and severely reproved the librarians in whose shops the notices to that effect had beets exhibited. The Alderman, with a certain English Lady, passed through Boulogne on Friday, on their way to meet her Majesty.
