This' was riot A q Nestion between Catholics and Pro testants. G away must always be essentially Ca tholic. Prot :estants compared with Catholics were but as a drop of water in the bucket. By adopting the amendment - proposed by the Noble Duke, Ca- 1 tholics and P totr.stants would be placed on an equal footing. The Duke . of RICHMOND considered the amendment as a measure. of disfranchisement, and therefore wo aid oppose it. When their Lord s hips :'were passing the Bill for the disfranchisement of the forty shilling s. freeholders, last Session, he stated his apprehension . that they would hereafter be called upon to pa in a measure of a similar principle; but he had 110 idea that his ,prophecy would so speedily be fulfills A He 'considered the emendment to be a revolut , 0,,,,,..y measure.

The Earl of WICKLOW said, it was admitted by all sides of the House, that the object of the . :second reading of the Bill was to carry fully into effect the princ iple of the Bill of the last Session, for the relief of 'Roman Catholics. That being their Lordships' Object, the question was, how" it could be best ne'somplished,—by the Bill of the Noble Earl) of the amendment of the Noble Duke ? In 11 ) 3 °lii'dion, either course would fully effect that ob ;Jett; and all their Lordships had to do, was to q:) -k 'uose between the two, that which was most con-. 'sistent with justice ) honour, and equity. He pre-. ferted the fttntiidinents, because, by repealing the A 6 of tiSe 4th Geo. 1., they would not only leave the town of Galway in the precise situation in whch it was placed before the passing of that Act, lint they would put it on the same footing as that o f all the oth er cor p orate towns i n I re l an d a t p resen t. 'l'he Marquis of CLANRICARDE defended the .Bill: a more unfounded opposition never was wised against any measure. The Corporation of Galway did not complain against the measure; but it was opposed by certain officers of the town, who had been guilty of malversation with respect to the tolls and customs. The corpora tion and inhabitants were most anxious that this . Bill should pass. The Bill did not go to take away . rights, but to impart rights to strangers, and would c not in any respect injure the privileges of the town of Galway. On the other hand, he was sure that ... the effect of the proposition of the Noble luke would be, if Parliament sanctioned it, which he be ' teved never would be the case, to disfranchise a great number of Protestants, without a shadow of • accusation against them. . The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that what ever disappointment lie had experienced when he heard the proposition of the Noble Duke, he felt considerable satisfaction at the statement made by the Noble Duke and the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, that no person who supported the great and beneficial measure of last year could hesi tate to approve of the principle of this Bill. He heard the declaration with satisfaction, because only knowing from the votes of the House of Commons, which were laid on their table, he had been induced to believe that many gentlemen who supported the measure of last year took a very active part in the other House against the principle of this Bill.— (Hear.) They had, however, opposed it unsuccess fully, and they had left it to their Lordships' House to devise the present new and extraordinary mode of defeating this measure. The other House of 'Parliament had not the art, they had not the inge nuity of originating such a plan, and they left the perfecting of it to the Noble Duke and his advisers. The Noble and Learned Lord had stated to their Lordships, that those persons who would be de prived of their rights by the amendment, only ac quired those rights under the Act of the 4th George I. But this was not the case, for those rights were ex pressly recognized in the rules of Charles 11. The franchise was confirmed by long-continued use—it , was recognised by the Irish Parliament, and con firmed by the Act of Geo. I. That franchise was now, it appeared, for a special purpose, to be taken away. • He therefore would say, that if the amend ment were carried, this would be an act of disfran chisement and spoliation. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM felt himself, whatever his regret might be, compelled to vote against the amendment of his Noble and Illustrious • Friend. ile was exceedingly sorry that his Noble and Illustrious Friend, who was so principal an in strument in relieving Ireland from that horrid sys tem which had so long prevailed there, should be the first to bring forward such an amendment as this, an amendment which could only have the effect of keeping alive traces of that cruel system, 'which he thought, happily for the country, had been swept away.—(Hear.)—That system had been driven out of our sheets and squares; but, it ap peared that in some corner or other the spirit of dis ability must still exist. He was obliged to oppose this amendment, whether 11. considered it with re spect to the Protestants, to the Catholics, or to the whole system of the British empire. The Duke of WELLINGTON assured their ' Lordships that nothing was farther from his wish than to rest this measure on any other ground except the mere plain facts of the case.—(Hear.)—ile again asserted that no man would he deprived of his rights by the amendment. The charter of Galway would remain as it was. The new rules would eon tinue as they were; every inhabitant of Galway would remain precisely as he would have stood, if the 4th of Geo. I. bad never passed—with this dif ference only, that he was permitted to claim the franchise granted by the 4th Geo. 1., although he might have neglected to apply for it within the spe cified time. Earl GREY observed, that the Noble Duke had said, that whatever rights the people of Galway possessed before the 4th of Geo. 1., they would equally enjoy now. There he was at issue with the Noble Duke, for the effect of the measure would be this—that persons who wished for the freedom of the town could no longer procure it through the medium of guilds—because, by long disuse, they were out of existence; and the repeal of the act by this amendment closed up another channel. The Noble Earl concluded by stating that he was the, • more confirmed. in his own opinion by the arguments) which the Noble Duke had advanced against it. The Earl of DARNLEY said a few words in opposition to the amendment. The Marquis of BUTE was prepared to vote in i favour of the amendment as a corollary to the mea sure of last year. The House then divided on the amendment — Contents -47 Non-contents .

A SCOTCH RENEGADE.—He wore a highly respectable dress a la Turque—a white turban and scarlet robe, with a small ataghan in his sash; and his Highland face was very tolerably distinguished, yet not so much so, but that its ancient features, the ruddy hue, the bright blue eye, and the fiery curls adorned it still, and seemed to triumph over all the wasting clime of Cairo. Ingenious and indefatigable, he prospered greatly in temporal things, and soon saw that the banks of the Nile were a better place for getting a fortune than among his own, lochs or heath•covered mountains. To all appearance he was perfectly content with his situation. There was more sense than zeal perhaps in the reply he made to the repeated efforts of a Missionary to induce him to turn from his apostacy, and go back to the country and the religion of Isis fathers. A tear seemed ready to start forth, but Mamtnon prevailed.

LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, SATURDAY, JUNE 26. Whitehall, June 26, 1830. A Bulletin, of which the following is a copy, has been this morning received by Secretary Sir ROBERT ,PEEL, one of his late MAJESTY'S Principal Secretaries of State : " Windsor Castle, June 26. " It has pleased ALMIGHTY GOD to take from this world the KING'S Most Excellent MAJESTY, His MAJESTY expired at a Quarter-past Three o'clock this morning without pain. ~ HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." The following letter, from the Right Hon SirROBERT PEEL tO the LORD MAYOR, has just been posted at the Mansion-house : WHITEHALL, JUNE 26, 1830. " MY LORD,—It is my most painful duty to inform you, that it has pleased ALMIGHTY GOD to release his MAJESTY from his sufferings. His MAJESTY died at about a Quarter-past Three o'clock this morning. I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's obedient and faithful servant, " ROBERT PEEL." The melancholy event for which the nation has been so long prepared, has at last take') place, and the sceptre of three kingdoms has passed from GEORGE IV. to his eldest surviving brother the Duke of CLARENCE, now WM; LIAM IV. At present little is known respect ing the last moments of one of the most fortu nate and enlightened Sovereigns that England has ever possessed. Report states—but we do not vouch for its authenticity—that the few hours preceding his dissolution were spent in great agony ; if so we ought to rejoice '(since from the first appearance of the Bulletins it was evident that there was no chance of reco very) rather than lament that his MAJESTY has ',exchanged an earthly for a celestial crown. • From 1812—the first year of the unrestricted Regency, down to 1829, the memorable era of civil and religious freedom—his MAJESTY'S 'reign has been one Of almost uninterrupted glory, 'as well as of solid lasting advantage to his subjects. His MAJESTY himself was of a tolerant en, ( lightened character, no Monarch ever knew l oetterhow to concede gracefully to the feelings of his people, or possessed a sounder and more comprehensive knowledge of mankind. His mind was early stored with elegant and. useful :information ; he was a first-rate linguist,, a good classical scholar, and by his numerous lighter accomplishments, as well as by the singular fasci nation of his manners, justly earned the title uni versally conceded to him, of the first gentleman in Eur Ope. Like his father he expired in the Royal Castle of Windsor, %%hid], indeed, he, seems to have entered only for the purpose of drawing his last breath there. Tu secanda marmora Locas sub ipslm funus, et sepuichri Immemor struis demos. Since the above was written, we have obtained the following further particulars, which state that! shortly before death his MAJESTY became wholly free from pain. The moment that the 1 intelligence of the demise of the Crown was : i l made known in the metropolis, the most prompt ( manifestations of sorrow were every where mani-' Tested: the shops and private houses were all .: partially closed, as on the death of one of the '. inmates—and every particular, however insigni- cant, connected with the melancholy event, was' caught at with the greatest avidity. We un derstand that yesterday, after the publica tion of the Bulletin, his MAJEsTr's breath-? ing and expectoration became greatly increased, so much so, and so suddenly, that, the Phy sicians anticipated almost instant dissolu tion. Indeed, so confident were they that the Royal Patient could not survive the night, that a Messenger was despatched to the Duke? of WELLINGTON to request his Grace's imme diate attendance at Windsor. In conseqticnc: of this intelligence the - Duke left town , In the evening,' "and on his arrival was informed that the demise of his Royal Master might be mo mentarily expected. At a quarter past three o'clock, this distressing event ...took place. We hear that a short time pre vious to his death, his MAJESTY became perfectly composed and fice from pain.— Nature was completely exhausted, and he died almost without a struggle. Immediately on the announcement of this event, the Duke of WEL LINGTON returned to town, and gave orders for a Cabinet Council to be summoned at the Fo reign Office at ten o'clock. All the kinisters, with the exception of the Duke, attended the Council, which sate about half an hour, when orders were given for issuing an Extraordinary given above. Gazette, a copy of which w e have The reason of the Duke's non-attendance at the Council was in consequence of his Grace having set off at nine o'clock for Bushey Park, to communicate to his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE (now King WILLIAM the Fourth) the intelligence of his brother's de cease. Immediately on receiving this informa tion, his MAJESTY set off for London, and arrived at St. James's Palace, at eleven o'clock. Shortly after his arrival all the Ministers of State, in full dress robes, repaired to the Palace, and were received by the KING in the State apartments, where they respectfully tendered their resignation of the Seals of Office, which were most graci6usly returned. Previous 'to this ceremony his MAJESTY had taken the oaths ap pointed to be taken by the Sovereign, which were administered by the Archbishop of'CAN TERBURY, and the Bishop of LONDON. A. Privy Council was then held, at which the Councillors attended and took the oath s ,' and at which an order was issued f or , his MAJESTY'S Proclamation by th e , style and title of King WILLIAM IV. That , ceremony, however, had not yet taken place up to the moment we went to press. On the intelligence of the decease of th e KING reaching London, a messenger was des patched from the Home-Office to carry the tid ings to the Lord-Lieutenant of IRELAND. A telegraphic despatch was employed to announce the same intelligence to the British Ambassa dor at Paris, by whom it will be forwarded to the Ambassadors at the different Courts. of Europe. The usual mode in which the announcement of the death of a KING of England is made to the other Sovereigns of friendly Powers, is by his successor writing them an autograph letter ] after the funeral. The Houses of Lords and Commons met at twelve o'clock, when the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy were administered. In the Law Courts no business has been' transacted with the exception of taking justifi cations of bail. We know not whether it be worth while to mention it here, but it is a singular fact, that the three last Sovereigns of England, as well as the Duke of YORK, all died on a Saturday. At the hour at which we write this, immense numbers of carriages of the Nobility and Foreign Ambassadors are fast arriving at St. James's, in order to pay their visits of condolence to his MAJESTY. TIIE JUVENILE LIBRARY, VOL. I. COL BURN AND BENTLEY.—The advantage of a connected Series of Works hiving express and careful relation to the instruction of young people, is too obvious to require more than a simple allusion to it. We are glad to find this laudable purpose taken up in a quarter that affords ample promise of its satisfactory fulfilment. We have just re ceived the little Biographical Volume with which the un dertaking commences, and are enabled to speak well of its contents, so far as a slight inspection has acquainted us with them. The engravings which decorate the book (in cluding iMrtraits of the Princess VICTORIA, Sir TuoMAs LAWRENCE, &C.) are of obvious excellence; and the lives selected for illustration, (those of indi viduals remarkable for early talent) and are such as may afford t 3 the youthful mind a study both interesting and profitable, especially that of Sir T }togas LAWRENCE, which is treated with a copiousness that may recommend it even to maturer readers, during the absence, as yet, of any regular biography of that eminent painted and amiable man. f PATiLIANIENT.,- : (TITIS;DAY4 HOUSE OF LORDS. • It was understood, this morning, that the 'House Iwould meet at eleven o'clock, for:the purpose of ad=l ministering the oaths of allegiance to the Peers to the new Kina, The Judges of the King's Bench and Com Mon Pleas, accompanied by the Chief Baron of the Ex chequer, proceeded in procession from their respee-1 l i tive Court, and entered the House about hall past leleven o'clock. The bar of the House was crowded by Members of the legal profession, and persons of irespectability, anxious to witness the ceremony of !administering the oath of allegiance. The LORD CDANCELLOR entered the Rouse about ten minutes before twelve o'clock, when the public were ordered to retire. The Bishop of CmthistA - 3, tvc itte informed, readl prayers for our present Sovereign, under the style! and title of William the Fourth. We underltand that the Marquis of Sligo, the Marquis of Down shire, the Earl of Ilarewood, the Earl of Sheffield, Viscount Strangford, and Lords Auckland tlnd Hardwicke took the oaths o aiiegiance. After ,which we are informed their Lordships adjourned to three o'clock, when Lord Shaftesbury will be chosen Deputy Speaker, and sit in the absence, lof the Lord Chancellor, who will be occupied a t the Privy Council. After administering the oath of allegiance' to as many Peers as may be present, their Lordships, we understand, will adjourn to twelve o'clock on Monday. HIS LATE MAJBSTV. The following slight bio'grapLic sketch of his lamented • Majesty GrotroP: the Wth. is extracted from a little work, entitled " Public Characters." At the present melancholy 'crisis it will be found interesting : " His most gracious Mijesty George the fourth, has lived through a series of events, as rtniarkable as the • world ever witnessed within the same space of time ; and whether viewed as Sovereign, as Prince BiTent, or as Prince of Wales, he awakens greWr interest in the bosom of every reflecting 131-iton, than any individual born or raised to the throne since the days of tin , illustrious Alfred. lie came into the world at a most eventful period, when incidents were passing away, or occurring - , or nigh at hand, of the greatest importance the national honour and welfare. The lons abed pros perous reign of George the Second ha I fixed the House ol Hanover in secure possession of the British throne : the welcome accession of George' the Third, the first Sove reign of the house born in this Gauntry, had crushed every vestige of hope in the few rema . hing friends of the exiled ' Stuarts ; the multiplied victories of war, of which the people were, notwithstanding, beginning to complain, had opened the way for honourable and promising neg,ociation ; and with the prospect of peace, rendered certain scst as the Prince was born, both the character and condition ol the country were rapidly improving.--.-improvement which his birth was admirably adapted to accelerate, since it gave to people of every rank and occupation a gratifying assur ance that their labour would not be in vain. " The Royal parents were remarkably domestic; in ad dition, therefore, to the usual solicitude about an infant heir to the throne, their first-born became the object ot unexampled care—care that was thought excessive if not injurious, at that early period, and which, though the motive of it must ever be praised, afterwards did harm to the character of the Prince, by rendering the transition from youth to manhood, and from restraint to indepen dence, much too sudden and abrupt. " It is well known that, at three years of age, he re ceived and answered an address from the Society of An cient Britons, his own proper• subjects; and the joy which the intelligence diffused was, if possible, greater than that which took place at his birth. When he was the subject or diseases incident to childhood, from which, there is no Royal road of escape, and which then pre2 veiled with more certainty and severity than at present, every family seemed to feel as though one of its own mein berg were in danger ; and the tidings of his recovery was tirs signal for new ebullitions of delight, and more con& 'lent anticipations that his life would be long, and his reign prosperous and happy. "An unexpected and alarming illness of the King, while it drew forth the sympathy of the nation for him, fixed the attention of all classes upon the Royal heir, then a child of only four years. The apprehension of a Re gency in the state, and a guardianship to the Prince, for so long a period as fourteen years, was a feeling peculiarly unwelcome ; but providentially it was removed almost as soon as it arose. Still the known liability of the King to sudden disease, tending to affect the Royal mind as well as body, caused public attention and anxiety in no ordinary degree to continne directed to the rising Prince, and many a fervent wish to be cherished that his years were multi • plied by more than their present number. " The youth of the Prince is now before us, and we are, to glance at his progress under some of the wisest tutors' of the age. The education of George the Third is al lowed to have been defective ; it was not so defective, how ever, as to snake him undervalue sound learning, or ren der him indifferent to his children's proficiency., He in sisted upon a much larger portion than he had attained be- ing offered to the Pi ince, and he rejoiced to find him both able to appreciate it, and ready to make it his own. Per haps his Royal Highness did not so willingly submit to the discipline of his noble governors and revert - end' tutors; which in fact was strict beyond all precedent and all pro priety. The system derived its severer features of re straint and seclusion from the authority of the King, whose firmness in other matters sometimes rose to obstinacy, and who was often pertinacious when he only thought himself prudent. But if the Prince was trained according to the Royal mandate, the agents chosen to execute the stern decree were well fitted for their work. It is suffi cient to remember the official characters of Dr. Markham at Westminster, and of Dr. Jackson at Christ Church, and to know that the Prince spent his youth chiefly under their controul. " This system was highly beneficial while it was in ope ration, and so far as sound scholarship was concerned. Confining the Prince to his studies with almost monastic seclusion and severity, it caused his ready mind to accu mulate an unusual store of valuable knowledge. Nor can the nation now be strangers to its beneficial result. To some of its severer features we are perhaps indebted for the highest qualifications of the King, and the noblest em bellishments of the man. But no sooner did its operation cease than it was found to produce effects which its Royal isrfthor, and its noble and reverend agents, were the first to discern and deplore: It had too long shtit out the world from the view of the Prince, and, by not graduating his advance towards the public scenes of life, rendered those scenes, when at last he was at liberty to survey them as he pleased, too novel and enchanting, too luxu riant and overpowering. He had been confined so long, and restrained so much, that when the period of emanci pation somewhat suddenly arrived, he deemed it impos sible to enjoy too large a portion of the pleasure which presented itself on every hand. On his release from the controul of tutors and governors, who had scarcely loosened the rein before they were required altogether to drop it, numbers of a perfectly opposite character were in waiting to celebrate his freedom, and administer to his gratificatio❑ and delight. Among them, the nation must ever lament, were certain individuals, celebrated for the splendour of their talents and vices, and, in their earliest intercourse with the Prince, much more ready•to corrupt his morals 'by the one, than to enlarge and elevate his mind by the other. " Here we must look for the origin of those painful mis understandings which took place between the Sovereign land the heir apparent. The early friends of the Prince were in avowed opposition to his Majesty's Government, and soon infused their hatred of Ministers and their jealousy of the King into the unsuspecting mind and susceptible heart of their illustrious protege. On po litical grounds alone the King had reason to be in censed at their influence over his son ; but when to. this we add th e mora l i n j ury t h ey were i n flicti ng one, whom the pious father wished above all things' to train for God and his country, we cannot wonder, that, wounded by their arts in his Royal, his paternal, and Christian feelings, Fe should have set his face as a flint against the men, and treated with rigour the son, who had made them his companions and friends. The romantic epistles and adventures of Florizel and Perdita are well known ; but all who know them do not understand that they were as real as they appear to be ! , romantic, and th a t th e a d m i rer a nd a d m i re d were no less than the Prince• of Wales - and Mrs. Anhinson,. the en-1 chanting authoress of the 8 . /,' dphicl. Presuming upon theti reader's itagollection of the chief incidents of that affair, only a remark or two on its distressing termination can be introduced here. The injured . Lair one never blamed the Prince for leaving her: His conduct appe3ted unfaithful And brifeeting i but iiever did it appear so in her estimation. He transferred his attention to others, grenly her inferiors in beauty, youth, and wit; but she never could allow that she had lost his heart. She was innocent of the. least of those imputations, by which the envy of her fivall - triumphed over her ; and this innocence, with the (=vie tion that the Prince still loved her, supported her amidst' the OtherwiSe o'VerWheimihg trial of his early and sudden Idesertion. W e throw the veil or charity °Vet the test ofl .this affecting story. " The first establishment of the Prince was a wel.:orna event to his numerous flatterers, especially to some among , them, whose profligacy and poverty seemed to vie with , each other, which' should soonest complete his ruin. I - %Deeply Hid ever rtuf friend of bik floral 11Winels lament • eendancy over his ingenuous mind, anal, while they hailed his independence With hoiloWcoitgrattilationS, they ureaded nothitig so Much as for his spirit to itt.'drilti tj.t iniitilt!nalenri as his circumstances, and his opipiofis to disdain the Ire straint which his person had shaken off.

" These and other early companions of the Prince, insist have the undivided honour of creating in the Royal' bosom the little taste he once pnsawed, but never eagerly. ,therisbed, far hid stn - 6 Sit the tilrf tired HA ting,:- -, - The events which drove him, first from Newmarket, and sometime after from DoncsSter, hive not escaped the rea'der's recollection; And eiTc.fy hne will Ilan his own jUdgment or their mefits.

" The illness of the King, issuing in violent and con tinued insanity, brought the Prince of Wales still mon prominently forward, and wild?. It gAvii th nation the devest int.!re.t his 'Cltaracter, served to exhibit in that eltarottet some new and striking features. The compa nions, already held responsible for many of his youthful errors, must bear the fresh onus of an exceedingly dis ,graceful proceeding, for which he was at the time consi• (ierably, but undeserved!) , blamed. We allude to the earl. 'and eager formation of a new Cabinet of Whigs-...-so call) Hind so eager as to deprive it of all the qiiilities of a pil (lent and patriotic`, foresight, and invest it from head to tOot in the merry gaib of a party and political triumph, rendered odious by the contrast it presented to the inclan eholy condition of the King, and the disconsolate feelings !of the country. " To the French Revohitine. May undoubtedly be traced the welcome chang, slow in its progress, but certain is its result, in the political sentiments and assbciations of the Prince of Wales. He was far from being a solitary conversion, in favour of the 13titish Government as then administered, which that tremendous explosion effected yet England cannot but hail it as the most important that could have taken place for her. She did not at first per ceive its prudent operation, and enjoy its happy effects ,! nor were they fully discerned and appreciated till his Royal Highness came finally into power. Then, when long delay would have provoked an ordinary mind to re solute retaliation, the Prince Regent showed his-completi superiority to ancient prejudices, and private feelings, and personal attachment, by voluntarily offering all remains of them upon the altar of the nation's good. ! " This noble sacrifice arrests our attention, not only fo: the excellent benefits which followed it through the king dom and the world ; but because men whom nothing good can please, have reproached it as the first and greatest blemish of the Regent's character. He abandoned, for. sooth, his early friends, as though the Regency bad trans formed him into a private individual, and left no public interests, no official duties, no national security and pro sperity, to compete in his affections with a few men who called themselves his friends, while they were doing him more injury than the entire host of his avowed enemies. Many Princes, and not a few Regents, have quenched the last spark of patriotic fire by favouritism and friendship ! but the Prince Regent of Britain reversed the scene, and resolved that the fire of patriotism should consume what- - ever came in its way, not sparing the friends of his youth. This, considering Ate usual blindness of Princes, and the usual power of favourites, is surprising enough ; but not so surprising as the fact that enlightened Britain in the nineteenth century, contained writers who censured hi, conduct, and readers who could purchase and praise 66 wretched effusions. " We have passed by the period when the matrimonia! troubles of his Royal Highness commenced ; but the) form too prominent a feature in his life, and enter too deeply into the question of character, to be omitted in the briefest sketch. In circumstances the most favour able, the marriage of Princes excites some apprehension, for their honour or their peace : but never could circum stances be more unfavourable than those which induced the Sovereign and his Ministers to ally the Princess of Brunswick to the heir apparent of Great Britain. His Royal Highness was known to be averse to matriage, and candour will attribute his aversion to the impossibility of choosing his own wife. The Princess chosen for him was extravagantly praised, beyond all precedent and propriety —an act of as great injustice to her as to him. The po licy began its operation on his ingenuous mind, when deep and desperate embarrassments had unfitted him to examine its tendency, or question its truth. And, to crown the calamitous enterprise, his complete emancipation from debt was offered as the reward of his compliance, leaving him of course to apprehend a continuance of the thraldom a the consequence and punishment of his refusal. Who could anticipate a course of matrimonial tranquillity, or mutual toleration, from such an inauspicious comtnence 'ment ? " For the subordinate actors in this national tragedy, we have not a line to spare; and of the principal characters we wish not to write a word beyond some fair apology for their offences and errors. Were there strong appearances of guilt in the conduct of the Princess? Let her separa tion, her exposure, her enemies, and especially some of her friend., be considered ; let her origin, her education, her, prospects, her disappointments, her provocations, he taken, into the account. On the other hand, did the Prince, the Regent, the King, appear stern and harsh in his treat ment of one whose guilt could not be substantiated ?, Let his exalted yet secluded situation, his numerous and often interested advisers, his solicitude joined with' his Ministers' responsibility for a pure succession, his provocations from some of the most paltry intermeddlers of the day, his obligation to proceed in an inquiry which they had compelled him to commence, be remembered. In fact, these considerations, with many others to which they conduct the candid mind, have been entertained to a most happy effect. The cloud has passed away, and posterity is already beginning to do justice to both parties " The accession, and particularly the coronation of the 'King, was too closely allied to the most painful part of the proceedings against the Queen, to produce so joyous an effect as might have been anticipated. But, if his 'Majesty did not receive his crown amidst perfectly una uimous congratulations he has worn it with advancing honour and applause, until the nation now scarcely con tains a single instance of disaffection to his person or his Government. If a portion of his subjects apprehended ,that the severity of the husband would cleave to the cove reign, their fears have long since fled ; nay, those who ' cherished them, hav e w on d ere d th a t s ever ity i n any re lation of life could belong„ to an individual, who has never cherished a wish to abuse:4le highest authority to that un welcome effect. " The Administration of George the Fourth has, in lfact, been almost an uninterrupted course of popularity and prosperity, as well as peace.

THE COMMONS IN TERxon.—The people were cast into political delasions, and self tormented by imaginary horrors. A luslierons but authentic incident of the times is scarcely credible. So suiceptible was this diseased state of the public mind, that Sir 'WALTER EARLE, one of the zealous but weakest adversaries of STRAFFORD, and a creature of Pria's—rose to make a report of a design to blow up the House of Commons ! The news acted as if the explosion had taken effect. lii the pressure some alarmed listeners suddenly leaning for ward, part of the flooring in the gallery gave way—at the cracking many hurried out—Sir JO.N WRAY, an honest Lincolnshire patriot, exclaiming that "he smelt gunpow der," and another leaving the House, saying, " There was hot work, and a great fire within"—the simple words of the panic-struck knight, and the metaphorical orator. were to, literally caught up by the persons in the lobby, who sent them to the people on the river.
