and feelings which they haVe invariably :mani fested in the present. .We are in possession. of , the reply, in the negative, of a Noblernani a dis • nguished tneinber of the \% Party, to the ;application of a respectable body of individuals to present an .Address to the Sovereign, in which the necessity of reforming in- a moderate and constitutional manner, the ,ahuses, which haVe crept into our Representative System, was gested in manly and energetic, but respectful language.—As our readers cannot but lie curious . , to know the reasons of his Lordship, for conduct 30 . at 'variance with the professions of his- party, We shall present them .with a copy of the letter, omitting, for the present, the names of the Peer alluded. to ? and of the individual to whom it was addressed, but pledging ourselves for its authen ticity and genuineness : • " Could I concur with my neighbours at — 7 -----i in the -" sentinients, contained in the Address, which you have 'done ." use the honour to send me, I should feel great pleasure in presenting it to His Majesty, at the Levee. But as my own " sentiments are veryanuch at variance with parts of that "Address, I feel myself under the necessity of declining to r " ptesent it. ', - I concur with those who have signed it,' nibe-: " !ieving that the 'policy of the present Administration, far " from t e nding tO relieve the Country from any part of its " financial embarreisnstents, or to allay the -existing dis " contents, has a ; direct tendency to augn'ent them.— " Deeply impressed with Alas conviction, : I . have long a ' felt it to he my duty tO.Oppose them, and I d - o not besi. -"late to assert that we cannot expect any - mati-rial lin " provement under that systems which has been too long " perseveres! in, and which is likely to continue while these " men remain in power. But your Address dues not limit " itself ti", these cousiderations. It asserti,that att. the evils " of which it complains, have their origin in , the defective 1 ' iOate of the representation. Our cumulative d is tres ses . ‘ hare been principally caused by the American War, and ' by the two inure recent Wars with France, all which ``wars, whether politic or otherwise, were righly popu 1' lar in their commencement, and sanctioned by. the " strongest public feeling. Whatever may have been the " results of these tun; and ruinous contests, it would be a " gross misrepresentation to say, that they were forced upon " a reluctant people by their Representatives.—l Have always " thought, that it would be expedient to extend the right of " direct represcutation -to some places which have risen to " great wealth during the last century, and to deprive others 4 ,` " 1 That privilege which may be proved to be habitually -` and incorrigibly venal. At the same time that I ad " trait these, and perhaps some other Modifications of the `: lYitem to be safe and even serviceable, I .am as I tally persuaded that any sudden and exten'sive:reform of 4- the Representation would be wholly ineffectual for all good, ` and very efficient to many. bad, purposes. I cannot but contemplate the hopes which many profess to,entertain, of " finding a remedy for the public distress in what is com u monly termed Parliamentary Reform, as altogethei illusory, e;. at► d fair they hare been already too generally encouraged 4 , "Y'Pstsous whose object was not the repair , h ut the su b. veraion of the Constitution. Entertaining these opinions, .: much as I respect the pure motives of the respectable in habitants o f ----. •l feel myself precluded from.olfering ._ ' them my serv i ces on the present occasion." It is curious enough to - observe, that the only Portion of the address, with.which his Lordship's sentitnents are not at variance, and a small por tion i • t is, is that in Which the dismissal of His Ai iesty's present Ministers is recommended; -w hilst it is the only part of it, from which, in oar 9 1 ,P il lion, the real friends of the Sovereign and the I eo P'e ' - ould be disposed to discent ) because. if " 4 4)1' of • led . with, it would tend to ttie. advancement boh , men to power, who are the worst enemies of t. whilst the other parts. of the Address 1 . Peiot • out the necessity of administering some ei IEI far # t res our agricultural and commercial dis ses) arid of reforming the abuses of Parlia in , L e ntary Representation,.in a tone respectful to " e r Sovereign and creditable to their own mode ation atid good sense. We shall ) perhaps, take Some. other opportunityOpportunitylength of remarking - more at upon his Lordship's Letter, but before we di s • zniss it, we must take leave to observe, that we 'allnot admit the fact, upon which his Lordship dwells with particular three emphasis, namely, that the r ee great wars which -he reprobates as impolitic Were , .• I, c' highly popular in their commencement," ts as any argument to prove, -that " the great part °f the • representat'ive3 of tine people" are. not, merely" the commissioned deputies. of their res t.; ~ Pectiy e c hi e fs, whose sentiments they declare, a nd whose interests they pursue ;" because it ~ , 4 "es net sheW that if the 'wars had, on the con .rar 7 • 1, ,s Y 7 been - unpopular, they co uto NOT have 4 " " forced on 'a reluctant people by their 1/r es , u . ,entatives."„ b at P°4 the whole, we conceive his Lordship t o • in i • rnlaietely_proved, that we were not. wrong , ie . to tl, ring the Whigs have no great attachment d e ~,:e Public welfare, and that their clamorous —and is no for a redress of the people's grievances 1 lice /4; 4l° re than an engine to promote their Own and f .'"s and factious views.

OF LICENTIO USN ESS AND 64 FACTION 1" Our limits would prevent us, if it were riot .un, necessary, from tracing the - conduct of the Whigs during the last seventy years, in .order to point out the various instances which convict then'!" of these several niarks,of licentiousness and faction. Their conduct, .however; at the preSerit day is sufficient, to shew that they are neither attached to the publiC welfare,--because this tan only be steadily and effectually prorrioted on clear and uniform - principles.; nor the .friends of liberty . because the latter s will endeavour to preserve that just, balance of divided power, established by law for the . security of freedom.; whereas it is impossible to say, where the Whigs have .nat been ielf,contradictory and inconsistent; not only on different, but parallel occasions, and the letter which - we have inserted .from a distinguished member of thejr.party, praye.s, that they haire,no inclination towards any. measures for preserving the just balance'.ar divided .pOwer, but on the contrary reprobate them " as, ineffectual for all good, and very eMcient ' to many bad pur poses.", , Thus having, in our opirtiOn,. clearly.shet.7n, that the Whigs are the patrons of licentiousness and faction, and that their conduct is inconsist ent, ill-founded, narroW, and selfish ; we; . shall proceed shortly to suggest the most effectual means of checking them in their progress ; of . re storing internal unanimity, and, securing public freedom: These means we conceive to consist in the steadiness of the Prince, and in the firmness; the energy, and wisdom of his Minister. For in the words of the admirable writer whom we have before quoted, 44 If a Sovereign once gives way " to the storms in 'which such a faction will in " valve Film, his peace and freedom, together -‘‘ with those of his people, are inevitably de " stroyed'. On the contrary, if amidst all the tumnits of sedition, he discovers an unalter " able firmness and fortitude, founded in upright " intentions and real virtue; the rage of hopeless " faction will by degrees subside ; and a pro " spect of better times will open upon Him and 44 His people." FROM , t THE BRITISH NlONrroa" OF YESTERDAY. On the authority of the Continental Journals, I stated in last week's Paper, and I believe all the 'other LOndon Papers did the same, " that the BritiSh and French Ambassadors at Naples had presented a note jointly with those of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, to the King of Naples, to induce him to repair to Laybach."— It is now with much satisfaction that I have to state on the most unquestionable author,ity, that the Ambassadors of England and Franco did not present any such note as mentioned in the foreign fouriials. And 1 have further authority to state, that the Courts of London and Paris have not, nor will interfere direct or indirect in the nego ciatious now carried on at Troppau, or at Lay bach. I hope that_ every publicity will be given to this statement, especially as it is stated in a note presented by the Austrian Minister at Ham burg to the Senate of that city, that the Mo narchs assembled at Troppau expect the assent of the - Courts of London and Paris to their proceed ings,"-=which assent I have very good authority to state will never be given! [PRIVATE CORRESPO NDENCE.] VIENNA. Dec. 25, 1820.—1 t is generallY•understood that the Prince Royal of Naples himself has caus e d to be repre sented to the Sovereigns at Troppau, the distracted state of his country.; and although desirous of having a free Consti tution, still be thinks it will not be effected till a foreizn force shall take possession of Naples, and which only can re store tranquillity. The note presented to . the King of Naples to repair to Laybach, was signed by the Ambassadors of Austria, Russia, and Prussia: those from England and France taut; no part whatever in it• The squadrons of tho , , two countries in the Bay of Naples, are only there to protect the Royal Fatuity from personal danger or violence. The Austrian Minister, Baron Lehzeltern, is g o ne to Rome to engage his Holiness to anathematize the Neapolitans, Spaniards, and Portuguese, but which the Holy Father would not accede to. There, it at present a struggle between Prince Metternich and - Count Stadion, for supreme power in the Austrian Ca hinft. The former has had ton !ranch influence for the last ten years.. The latter is a very enlightened Statesman, and has many friends. Since the arrival at Troppan of M. Pizzo di Borgo; the Allied Sovereigns have put water 41 their wine, as he pointed out the dangerous consequences t'f a war, especially as to its influence in Paris, where the Liberaux only wait for an op portunity to commence offensive operations; indeed the ge neral opinion here is, that the eloignemeia is not very great between that party and Austria. Therefore, a large Aus trian force in Italy, and especially in Piedmont, might bring on -strange events [This letter was written before the arrival of the King of Naples at Layhach.l—(ibid.) Loan Eass.l.N . E.—lt will be seen by a „Scotch Report (in THE SUN of Saturday) that Lord ERSKINE is suing his Lady for a divorce 'upon a charge of - Adultery.—This proceeding ren ders the conduct of .his Lordship nothing short of a home question. His Lordship may now be asked, what would he say, if some thousands of persons, before hearing a word of the evi &nice, or during the trial, or even against the opinion of the Judges (supposing that were to be in his favour,) should affirm that there ought to have been no suit, that the charge was malicious, that the ,voice of the giddy multitude ought to pre vail, instead of that of the Judges, and that no consequences ought to ensue from the proceeding ! His Lordship, it seems, having failed, upon a point of law or form, in the Scotch Court, has determined to apply to the Consistorial Court of England. We do not presume to know any thing of the merits of the case ; but we have been cre dibly informed that the evidence to be adduced is all circumstantial (than which nothing certainly can be stronger or better) though his Lord ship would not admit the damning proofs thus forcibly substantiated, perhaps beyond all prece dent, in the case of our adulterous Queen! How differently he decides (and how naturally too) when the case is brought home to his Lordship's own bosom and feelings !--(Morning Post, Jan. 15.)
