There seems to be a systematic attempt on the part of a certain Journal, from which nothing liberal or just, but everything the reverse, may be expected, to degrade the Royal Character, or at least to lessen the respect of the People for his present MAJESTY. The omissions; which, in the Paper alluded to, are invidiously styled ex clusions, respecting the invitations to a recent Ball, have afforded a new handle for its attacks upon MAJESTY. It is notorious that his MA.- JEsTv was solicited to become the PATRON of 'the Ball in question, from the natural inference that his patronage would give increased grace and energy to the charitable purpose of that • Bali ; and surely his MAJESTY, as the Patron, • had a right to prefer or to omit any persons, for rTason s not necessary to be assigned to the pub 'tic at large. In_ this instance his MAJESTY only -acted as the head of any private family had a 'light to act on any private festival, and those not .sPecially nominated on the occasion, if they felt the genuine impulse of charity, had a full oppor tunity of contributing to the meritorious purpose in view, whether absent or present. It would be hard indeed for his MAJESTY to have any Person forced iato his presence, because he came forward upon solicitation, and consequently ought not b e exposed to any intrusion upon his private . fe elings. —"'Cease VIPER, you bite a file." We again direct the attention of our Pro testant Brethren to our admirable Correspondent S in:ley, whose eleventh Letter appears in THE S uN of this day (see the Fourth Page).—W e t hank him for the just compliment which he paid to u 3 in selecting our Paper as the channel for his communications on a subject of vital im- Portance to the very existence of that Constitu tution is Church and State, which from the origin of our Paper it has been our unceasing effort to u Phold and perpetuate. Whatever the advocates for POPERY may say, Popery is now what it ever Was and ever will be, as long as the folly of any part of mankind can support it. Mr. PLowpcx, as SIDNEY justly observes, the last Defender of POPERY, maintains this doctrine, and it has never been denied or controverted by any Papists, or any specious Politician who has endeavoured to restore Papists _to that Constitution in Church and State, which at the very commencement of g ush restoration they would endeavour to un dermine and totally destroy.

GEwTLEstE,.. - -The necessity which has long been felt of liberating the financial administration from those provisional measures to which it has been necessary hitherto to recur, has determined me, this year, to anticipate the period of calling you together. In exacting from you this new sacrifice, I rely upon your zeal, and upon that devotion of which you have given me so many proofs. " Providence has preserved the infant which it has given to us, and it is a pleasing thought to imagine that he is destined to repair the losses and the misfortunes which have befallen my family and people. " I have the satisfaction to announce to you, that my rela tions with foreign Powers continue to be of the most amicable description. A perfect unanimity has influenced the efforts concerted between my Allies and myself, to put an end to the calamities which oppress the East, and which afflict humanity. I cherish the hope of seeing tranquillity restoif...d in those countries without the occurrence of a new war to aggravate their miseries. " The naval force which I maiatain in the Levant has accom plished its destination, by protecting my subjects, and by af fording aid to the unfortunate, whose gratitude has been the reward of our solicitude. " I have adopted precautions which have kept from our frontiers the contagion which has ravaged a part of Spain.-- The present season does not permit that we should relax these precautions, and 1 shall therefore continue them as long as the safety of the country may require it. Malevolence alone can discover in these measures a motive foreign to my real intentions. " Rash enterprises have disturbed, in some parts of the king dom, public tranquillity; but they have only served to display more signally the zeal of the magistrates and the fidelity of the troops. If a small number of individuals, who are the ene mies of order view with despair, our institutions consolidated and rendering a new support to the Throne, my people abhor their criminal designs. I shall take care that violence does not deprive them of the privileges they enjoy. " Positive calamities, though exaggerated by fear, have re cently desolated the departments contiguous to the capital. The aid of public and private benevole - ice has, however, mitigated them. The activity of the inhabitants shortened the duration of these disasters ; authority seconded their zeal ; justice will punish the guilty. " The exact state of the debt arr;ere'r, is at length ascertain ed, and will be submitted to you. This debt, whose origin is in times happily far removed from us, and whose liquidation has developed its full extent, will retard, for the present year, in spite of my most deep regret, a part of those ameliorations of which the various branches of the public revenue will be susce7tible. " The advantages we have already obtained should en courage us to persevere for their maintenance and increase. I rely upon your aid to secure, in our beautiful country, that prosperity which Providence designs for us ; this is the wish of my heart, the incessant object of my thoughts ; it is the con soling idea which alleviates the recollection of my pains, and throws a charm over the anticipations of the future." --- VALPARAIaO, JAN. 21.—The uncertain state that matters in Peru remain in, from the unaccountable con duct of San Martin, renders all calculations as to results there very doubtful, and those who have very valuable cargoes in their respective ships are quite at'a losshow to act, as San Mar tin has fitted out a squadron of four ships, in order to blockade the intermediate ports between this and Lima, of which squa dron the Thais now forms one. Two vessels from Buenos Ayres have arrived with goods. There is no conjecturing to what extent importations may yet be carried ; we fear that per sons in England, heaving of the fall of Liina, will be pouring in here fresh cargoes, in ignorance of the real situation of Peru and of the markets in general. Should that be the case, a second River Plate business will follow, and all here seem fearful it will be so.—Lord Cochrane has gone to Guayaquil to refit his ships, and San Martin and himself are now enemies. Mu. STEPHEN KEMBLE.—We are sorry to learn hat this Gentleman is in such a dangerous state, hat his son Mr.-HENRY KENIBLE, and brother Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, have deemed it necessary to quit town for his residence at Durham. Mr. S. KEMBLE has always been respectable in his pro fession, and a more loyal, public spirited, and benevolent character in private life, cannot be found. By the exertion of his own talents and those of his wife, and the exemplary prudence of both, he has raised himself into a.comfortable independence, and in a delightful retirement, enjoyed, in the fullest sense, cum dignitale. It gratifies us exceedingly to learn that the PROPRIETORS of VAUXHALL have met the success in their new Undertaking commensurate to their liberality and exertion. We highly approved the desire expressed in their announce ment, to blend the elegancies of Ranelagh with the delights of Vauxhall; the good taste and decorous attention to dress, which were the grace and distinguishing features of the former place, was but a compliment justly due to the Ladies, and it will be pleasurable to find it revived at Vauxhall. We hail this at tention to our fair countrywomen as a favourable omen of re forming manners, which, while it conduces greatly to the cha racter, comfort, and well-being of society, operates powerfully against the barbarisms which die demoralizing votaries of " Tom and Jerry" have been attempting to establish. We observe with pleasure the announcement of Madame Roxzi's benefit for the 27th inst. (see Advertisement in our front page), and have no doubt but the high estimation she has acquired by her professional skill will ensure her a nume rous audience, particularly as that masterpiece of dramatic composition " 11 Don Giovanni is to be performed. After dieting for so long a period on Rossini, we return with great delight to this sterling Opera, and certainly feel indebted to Madame Roszt for the judgment she has mani fested in its revival. We observe also that most of the characters have changed their representa tives, and as it is now announced, " 11 Don Giovanni" promises to rank high amongst the novelties of the season. We cannot, however, avoid regretting her not assumingrthe character of Zerlina, but still look forward to some occa sion when the discrimination of the Managers will induce them to give to her that character, for which she is so admirably adapted. EDINBURGH, JUNE 3.—A case, which involves a question as to literary property, has just commenced. A difference having taken place among the proprietors of The Edinburgh Correspondent, Mr. Watson, the recent Editor ' and Publisher of that Paper, applied by a bill of suspension and interdict, for an injunction against Sir Patrick Walker, Knt., Advocate, Alexander Robertson, W.S., and Michael Anderson, printer, who had without Mr. Watson's consent pro. ceeded to publish " The Correspondent." It was contended, in answer, that 66 Edinburgh" had b een d ro pp e d out o f the title, and that the new work had a different editor. The Court granted the interdict, and passed the bill.

PROMETHEUS, deathless in poetic fame, Kindled a torch in heaven with vital flame : Then, blazing with his trophy, shot to earth ; And, eager for his grand conception's birth, Bathed in the empyreal fire his man of clay. The dead mass woke and wonder'd at the day : Sprang from the ground with new fruition fraught; And soar'd through nature on the wins of thought. But soon the vengeance of the Olympian Sire O'ertook the bold invader of his fire ' - And, whilst the man, ju s t s t ar ti ng from the clod, Walk'd conversant with Heaven, an earthly god, Chain'd on a rock his glorious author lay ; And a fierce vulture tore his heart for prey. The mortal, hallow'd by the Muses' love, Brings to our earth the fire that lives above ; And, throwing round the etherial energy, Informs the clay with spirit of the sky : Makes man, AUTHENTIC max, of him who stood The half-brute tenant of the cave or wood : And bids the column of the state aspire, With the sweet magic of A3IPIIION'S lyre ; Poet or sage : who prodigal of mind Flings its rich blessings to exalt his kind ; And, nobly reckless, for himself reserves Nought but the world's cold gratitude, and starves ; Doom'd on a barren:rock to mourn his fate, With Fame alone the soother of his state : And what is Fame against the vulture Care ? A plume to fan hiM while the pounces tear. Oh ! let me lead you where to want rengn'd, Fades the lorn master of the illumined mind : Starts from high converse with the mighty dead, As his pale infants ask with tears for bread ; Or, rudely call'd from Fancy's fairy bow e rs, Where he lay slumbering on Elysian flowers, Shrinks from the sad realities of life, A board unfurnish'd and a pining wife ; Or stands with stony eyes, congeal'd by fear, As ruthless creditors assail his ear. Yes ! there behold him : from that man of woe The great idea has been taught to grow : His affluent mind has flow'd through .many a page, To youth in wisdom, in delight to age : Has roll'd the tide of reason clear and strong . ; Or bathed the ravish'd soul htliquid song. That eye, which now is rigid with dismay, HOpe lately kindled with her liveliest ray; And those dead brows Which, whelm'd by grief, subside, Once were elate with honourable pride. Conscious of power, by Nature's boon possess'd ; With classic ages in his mind compress d, Proudly he sought the lists, and, yet unrun The race of glory, deeni'd the contest won. But him, who scorn'd intrigue, and could not bend, Learning and wit were feebre to defend. Surprised he found his young ambition vain; And, doom'd to that worst toil the toil of brain, Ile sinks into a hard mechanic's thrall • And, bankrupt of the w o r ld, g i ves wealth to all. And will ye not with generous pity glow, To light again his eve and lift his brow ? His bark was freighted with the golden ore : Ali ! save him, wreck'd upon a desert shore ;- And joyous let him spread anew his sail, To waft his gather'd treasures with the gale. Yes ! to the.man, whose commerce is in mind, Through all the perils of his course be kind, Your gain is sure, whate'er his skiff betides, As loosely on Opinion's wave it rides. Then give him safety though his venture fail.— Oh ! let the press not open on the jail !• Think too that here, should Pity vainly plead, , Your country's pride incites to Mercy's deed. Screen'd by your fostering hand Should Genius know His buds of intellect may safely blow, The powers of mind would fearlessly. expand ; And throw a living lustre o'er the land. The same kind warmth, that lifts the pansy's head, J Nurses the richest floret's silken bed ; And giVes each nobler bloom the soul to spread : Till waking Beauty robes the wide parterre ; And the light wings of fragrance play in air : Till tint with tint,- with odour odour strive; And earth with Heaven's full blessing is alive. C. S. The literary world is indebted to this gentleman for an admirable life of MILTON, which, with a firm attachment to the British Constitution, breathes the genuine spirit of British freedom, and which, to the credit of public taste and public principles, has reached to a third edition. He is also the author of an English version of THE ENEID, which may fairly be said to equal in spirit,' while it exceeds in fidelity, all the pre vious translations of the great Roman Poet. This work, to the honour of public taste also, has reached a second edition. • TILE FAIR CIRCASSJAN.—It will be recollected that this celebrated beauty, who was purchased by the Persian Ambassador, on his way to this country, at Constantinople, and who was so much an object of attraction during her stay in Eng land, was sent back to Persia by command of her lord and master, under the care of a favourite eunuch. On her journey, it appears, she was met by Mr. Kerr Porter, the British tra veller, and recognizing him as an Englishman, she immediately rode up to him with an intention of addressing him. This was , however, according to th e noti on o f h er atten d ant, contra bony; mores ; and in order to remind her of tier duty, he struck her a violent blow across the shoulders with his stick. She instantly dropped her veil,closed her lips,and proceeded in sad silence, and no doubt was thus deprived of the opportunity of expressing those feelings of gratitude which her heart dictated, on seeing the native of a kingdom where she had been so hospitably re ceived. REPARTEE.—M. LALANDE dined one day at the house of RECAMIER, the hanker; he was seated between the celebrated beauty, Madame RECA MIER, and Madame de STAEL, equally distin guished for her wit. Wishing to say something agreeable to the ladies, the astronomer exclaimed " How happy I am to he thus placed between wit and beauty !"--" Yes, M. LALANnE," sar castically replied Madame de STALL, " and without possessing either." Sir WALTER SCOTT intends to visit Ireland in the course of the present summer.

INTENDED.NEW LIGHT HOUSE NEAR THE SALTEES. —Measures, we understand, arc in progress for either erect ing a new light house, or placing a floating light, at the dange rous rocks the Cunnies, a few miles S. W. of the Saltee Islands, in the Irish Channel. Last week, Mr. J. Grantham, pilot master in Dublin harbour, was engaged, in company with Mr. T. Hunt, pilot master of Waterford harbour, in making a complete survey of that part of the coast.

Till: TEA T Ft.% DE.—For the two first days after the arrival of the late unpleasant news from China, no effect was produced on the tea market. .it is well known that the Com pany have on hand black teas sufficient for six sales (eighteen months), and a considerable, though less, supply of green; and as the demand has .been so slack, that the purchases of the March sale were at a discount of 93d. p er p oun d f or bl ack teas, and green t eas were worth but from Id. to 2d. advance, the regular dealers were little inclined to speculate upon the probability of the Chinese refusing, for any very long time, to deal with their best customer; but money being plenti ful, some persons have ventured upon the hazardous ex periment of buying up the tea that was upon the market, and establishing, by small purchases and sales, very high nominal prices, in the hope that the general buyers will be indiscreet cnough to sanction the advance at the sale which has just commenced at the East India House. It is very probable that great &farts will be made to keep up prices during the early part of the sale, but it is generally thought that the speculati on canno t b e carried. through. The principal houses in the trade, as we have reason to know, have good stocks, and it would require nearly two millions sterling, the whole of which must be paid on or before the Ist of Sept., to purchase the quantity now in course of sale. It is not, therefore, pro bable that any set of speculators, however powerful, can mate rially affect the prices • for the great body o f b uyers w ill not fail to perceive, th a t whenever news of the adjustment of the differences may arrive, all cause or pretence for the advance will have ceased ; and if such favourable intelligence should be re ceived during the ensuing quart er , th ose w h o h ave given an advance will - sastain a heavy loss upon their stocks. Black Teas had been raised from 2jd. discount to Id. profit, and Greens nominally to 7s. 4d. upward, hut there were no buyers. —( Bristol Observer.) Ou Tuesday night a gentleman went into the Italian Opera-house, and entered into a conversation with the veteran Police-officer, Townshend, who observing his gold chain and bunch of gold seals, advised the gentleman to take care of his watch (a gold chronometer, value 35 guineas),which the gentleman drew o u t, an d sa id to ."11r. Townshend, " Oh, I will take care of it," and then returned the watch, as he be lieved, to his fob pocket. In about ten minutes aftewards, the gentleman discovered that his watch and its appendages were gone; but whether it was stolen, or had slipped down his trowsers, he was not certain. On Townshend being informed of the loss, he said to the gentleman, " I had my suspicion, from your flashing your watch so much, that it would go; let the next be a stop watch.".

That thy Memorialist transmitted a copy of the Petition to a Member of Parliament, (who is a Barrister,) requesting him to present it to the House as early in that Session as possible, and give it his earnest support : and that to this request the said Member promptly favoured thy Memorialist with a reply, stating that he had read the petition " with interest and attention;" and after making sonic comments respecting the numerous d?. tails it comprised, he expressed himself " sorry to throw any impediments in the way of presenting any petition." The prayer he said was perfectly unobjectionable, and proposed,tlemt if thy Memorialist sent a petition expressed in more general terms, containing that prayer, he should feel himself bound to offer it to the consideration of the House. That thy Memorialist prepared two other drafts of a petition, exactly conformable to the said Member's suggestions, each of them containing the above-named prayer, and sent the two copies for him to choose which to 'refer to the House, and re quested he would present the petition at his earliest convenience, and return the copy he did not use. That thy Memorialist not hearing from the aforesaid Mem ber, and the public journals not giving any account of the peti tion being presented to the House, at the end of a b out t h ree weeks thy Memorialist w as induced to write to him, and repeat ed his wish that it should be presented as early as possible.— That to this letter thy Memorialist received no reply. And that, in consequence of being thus kept in daily expectation and in great suspense, he wrote three oth er l etters to t h e sa i d Mem ber, at about the same intervening distance, expressing his anxiety, and again repeated his desire that the petitioti should be presented. That the said Member did not condescend to make any reply to any one of thy Memorialist's letters, and that the Session closed without his petition being presented. That thy Memorialist wrote again to the said Meniber after the Session had closed, and desired the copies might be return ed forthwith. That of this letter also no notice was taken ; and that up to the present time, the 25th of the third month called March, 1822, thy Memorialist bath had no, communication with him verbally or written, nor bath he returned the copies of the petitions, or deigned to answer a note of application for them addressed to him by a personal friend of thy Memorialist. That the annexed copy of the engrossed. Petition is in sub stance the same as each of those two which thy Memorialist prepared agreeably to the suggestions of the aforesaid Member, with the addition only of a few paragraphs, and that it con. taineth the same prayer as chat which was so unequivocally ap proved of by the said Member. That just prior to and since the commencement of the pre sent Session of Parliament, thy Meinorialist hath made:appli cation to no less than five several Members of the Commons' House of Parliament, to request they would present tho,Peti tion, of which the annexed is a copy. That each of them re. ceived thy Memorialist's application with the greatest readiness. ,That subsequently some made one excuse, and some another ; some, that it would do me no good; others, that it was the bu siness of the lawyers ; another, that it was not a fit subject for the House to legislate upon ; another, that thy Memorialist must seek redress in the inferior Courts, &c. &c. &c. That thy Memorialist explained to iose Members severally, that he looked for no personal benefit from the Commons' House of Parliament, and submitted that the prayer of the Petition proved the contrary, and showed , that he petitioned on public grounds ; and he contended that neither lawyers, nor the Courts of Law, were our law-givers; but the Administrators of the Law ; and that, in effect, he asked the guardians of our rights only that the common law, the law of right reason, might not he superseded by the example of his illegally decided case, or the statute law violated and infringed upon in future, and stated that lee was about to seek personal redress for his deeply aggravated, unprecedented wrongs elsewhere. ,'hat none of those Members above alluded to, objected to any one paragraph of thy Memorialist's Petition, or to the prayer attached to it, though thy Monoriiliit proposed to make any alteration (if they wished so) that he' could consistently do ; and that each of them agreed to hig proposition, namely, that it was the province of the House to decide whether they should entertain his Petition, Or reject it, and not the province of any individual Member. That two of the aforesaid Members had actually engaged to present the Petition, and each of them had twice fixed the time and gave thy Memorialist an order of admittance into the gallery. That one of those two, after a lapse of about two weeks, declined to'redeem his pledge, alleging in excuse that he was going to leave London for a month, and proposed that thy Memorialist should commit it to the care of some other Member who attended more frequently, and who knew more of the forms of the House than himself did. And that when thy Memorialist called on the said Member for the Petition he , found it was left at Brook s ' s Cl u b H ouse !! ! , . That the other aforesaid Member, who had also twice'fixed the time for presenting the Petition, and whom in the first in stance thy Memorialist saw in the House with the Petition in his hand, seemingly prepared to offer it, left his seat juat plior to his name being called by the Speaker, and the Petition was not presented. That thy Monorialist soon after con ferred with him on' the subject, when he fixed a asscond time to present it. And that some days shortly after, the said Member came up to thy Memorialist in the lobby, and told him " he had presented -the petition on 'the day lie last saw thy Memorialist," (which was the twelfth of the. third month called March,) that the petition was not printed, but ordered to lie on the table." That thy Memorialist's petitioning cause is the caiist`of the public —a cause which thy Memorialist bath reason ;to believe so much occupies the minds of that part of the public who are more immediately interested in the just testamentary disposi tion of property, that, had it been consistent for him tn'solicit subscribers, and he could con sc i e ntiously have joined in t h e common forms of petitioning, he might have procured some thousand signatures to his petition. - • ' That in consequence of thy Memorialist haiing been kept in great agitation of feeling, anxiety and suspense, from being ob. structed in and deprived of the free exercise of his common right of petitioning the Commons' House of Parliament 'for the long space of upwards of twelve months, and his petiti on hav ing been eventually p resen t e d a f ter much delay; but not order ed to be printed, thy Memorialist is induced to adopt this mode of bringing the subject of his petition before that august assem bly ; in the hope, and he cloth with all due deference humbly implore, that some Member of that legislative body, into whose hands these may come, will be pleased to take these subjects into his most serious consideration, both as it regards this Me morial and the annexed petition of his Memorialist, and par. sue such measures as to his judgriment appear to be best calcu. fated to prevent any such obstrnetions in future to th e ' free grid prompt exercise of the right of petitioning in general. And that he will be pleased to make a motion in hit place, that thy Memorialist's petition be taken into the consideratloh of the House, and that a Committee be appointed to exam hie into the Civil,Statute,and Common Law of Wills, respeceinge_gents, or other persons wh o may b e emp l oyed to prepare Wills, making themselves heirs to Testators, from the first institution of the laws of our ancestors the Romans, and to revise-anti clearly define the same, so as effectually to prevent the case stated in thy Memorialist's Petition from becoming an esta blished precedent, that the example of that unprecedented illegally decided case may not be suffered to supersede the Civil Law—the Common Law of right reason and justice, or violate or infringe upon the Statute Laws, as they may be found now to stand. That the subject of the annexed petition, and the mode of the proceeding adopted by the Memorialist, may be novel, but that thy Memorialist humbly trusts that neither will be the less attended to on that account, either by the individual Member into whose hands these may come, or by the Commons' Ilouse of Parliament, or from their coming from an humble indivi dual, whose views arc to endeavour to further the ends ;:f jus. lice, and thereby discharge a duty to the public, dictated by the principle of conscienc e , That thy Memorialist bath caused these copies to be distri r buted to the Members of the Commons' House of Parliament indiscriminately, to extend of the limited number he hash po -Tided. And that he pledgeth himself (if permitted) to'be pre pared to prove the correctness of the facts of the'very brief state merit contained in this Memorial, and in the petition, to any Member who may be pleased to favour him with an opportunity, (Signed) EDWARD OLLIZT.
