, _ „., ..s.iUlt I There is an article in The Morning Chronicle of this (lay, relating to the ROYAL FAMILY, and pointing to a measure, which, even granting the possibility that it may hereafter become the sub ject of contemplation, is at least so indecently premature, as to spew that the Paper is con ducted with an utter destitution of shame, %Dd a total want of respect for public feeling. It affects to cover itself under au Extract fronan,Evening Paper, but if the livening Paper in question really did contain an article capable of such an interpretation, it must induce the Public to believe that it is by no means in possession of that Minis terial confidence which has bittern) been ascribed to it. We can, however, vesture confidently to state, that no Member of Government would suggest any such measure as a topic for News paper animadversion. It is difficolt, and hardly possiblsh indeed, to relate the effect of the recent dreadful calamity upon the near connexions of the beloved Object whose loss has been so deeply felt and is so sin cerely deplored, but from all the accounts that are likely to be probable and authentic, and which have yet transpired, the shock was such as might be supposed to attend so unexpected and so fatal an event. The Royal Family in general have been overwhelmed with grief, and we are assured that when the Duke of YORK first an nounced the lamentable tidings to the PnlNca REGENT, the latter fainted, and when he recover ed enough to be sensible of his situation,, he threw himself into the arms of his Royal Brother, in an excess of agony that could only be expressed by a flood of tears, and unintermitted. sobbing for a considerable tune. We stated last week that the Ceremonies at tending the Interment of our late beloved Prin cess CHARLOTTE would be similar to those which attended the Funeral of the late Princess AMELIA, excepting some variation on account of the supe rior rank of the Princess CHARLOTTE as Presump tive Heiress to the Throne. This information has induced some of the Public Prints to insert the Ceremonial which attended the Funeral of the Princess Aucua, as if it were that which has been ordered fur the Princess CHARLOTTE. We liaa.dra nek t - ep all. lentic Ceremonial of thc approaching Funeral as yet been published. We yesterday stopped the Press to inform the Public, that the melan choly Ceremony is positively fixed for this day se'unight. We are sure that we need not de sire the Tradesmen ,throughout the Metropolis, and indeed the whale Kingdom, to close their Shops on the mournful occasion, as the whole of the Community have testified feelings in the highest degree honourable to the National Cha racter. Never has an event more lamentable been recorded in the history of this Country, and never has universal sympathy been more con3pi cuous and aillietive. We stated yesterday that the ,PROVINCIAL JoURNALS, of all the places to which the tidings of the recent lamentable event had extended, bad testified sorrow by sable borders, in the manner of tha Metropolis. We have received Journals from many other places this by, which bear the sime mournful ensigns of pUtlie'iegret, and we are persuaded that not one will be published throughout the United Empire withoet the same affecting mettiorials. We beg leave to draw the attention . of our Rulers to a most infamous Publication of Sunday last, which contained the most horrid insinuations as to the cause of tlm (teach of our late lamented PRINCESS. Attached as we are to the proper freedom of the Press ) we cannot remain silent while that freedom is brought into the slightest de gree of danger of being lessened, when such daring scurrility, and such infamous rumours, are cir culated as never ought to be tolerated, but rather indeed ought to receive exemplary punish ment in every civilized State. Many of our Correspondents have expressed their surprise that the Law Officers of the Crown should appear to take no notice of such publications, and quietly suffer them to work their way and corrupt the minds.of the lower orders of people. Surely the late alarming proceedings which occar sinned the recent executions at Derby, ought forcibly to operate upon all to whom our happy political Establishment in Church and State is entrusted. With respect to the Ecclesiastical part of our Constitution, it has often been said, that if any inroads should be made upon it, and the Protestant Church should be endangered, it will owe its danger to the supineness of its ap pointed Members, as well as to the activity of its adversaries, who are always upon the alert to effect its total demolition. Recurring, how- ever, at present to the infamous publications wl,ich every week am! every day issue from the polluted presses of this Country, we hope hat the Law Officers of the Crown will exert themselves with the utmost vigilance to sup press them, and bring the authors unto the pu nishment which they are incessantly provoking, and so well d-serve. Though the execrable Miscreant, Coßue:rr, is removed from this Coun- try, for ever, as we hope, yet his poisonous effu sions are still suffered to be circulated among us, and there are many other Miscreants who are not less active in disseminating the doctrines of Treason and Rebellion. What must other States think of the British Government when they find that it is too feeble or too indolent to put down such flagitious Writers. We appeal to our Rulers most resolutely on this .subject, and can assure them, that the loyal and xvell-disposed parts of the community look with surprize, and a much stronger sentiment, upon the unciabed licence of those Writers, who are u n remittingly employed in attempts to corrupt the minds of the people, and overthrow that plitical system to which we owe all the blessings and all the security of ci vilized life. r_ .----- We are so utterly absorbed in our present call). lity, that all future misfortune appears as dim us it is distant. One evil, however, is of too glaring magnitude to be overlooked : and, therefore, thought at this time we may be silent upon it, we shall previously to the meeting of Parliament call the public attention to the necessity of some Le gislative enactments, modifying the Act of Settle- ment so as to exclude any descendant.ot the But). NAPARTE gang from disgracing the British throne. We shall do this, not on the argument of any al ledged illegality in JEROME'S alliance with a foreign Court, or of his previous marriage with Miss PATTERSON, but upon the broad honest. principle of rescuing our Country and Crown from the pos sible disgrace of such a Dynasty. Our present misfortune is heavy enough, God knows ! without an aggravation so intolerable. . • By the desire of our valuable Correspondent, LANFRANC, we have postponed his Letter, which we intended for insertion this day, and we te7e rence the feelings that have induced him to re quest the suspension. He bad wtitten it before the inelanchol - } , intelligence reached him, - which has diffused sorrow over all people. At the same time, as the subject of that Letter is of vital hn portance to the Country at large, we must add that we shall take the first opportunity of presenting it to the Public, when the tide of sorrow has somewhat abated, and the minds of the people in general can turn to other subjects of the highest interest, but -not so affecting as that which occu pies the present moment. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The following are Extracts:— " PARIS, Nov. B.—The .

At half-past one yesterday the new LoRD MAYOR, accompanied by the late LORD MAYOR, the Recorder, alit! Sheriffs, alighted from their private carriages a! Westminster Hall, and entered the Court of Exchequer, to perform the usual so lemnities observed before the Chief Baron on the i‘vearing in the new LORD MAYOR into ills office. The RECORDER, in his address to the Court, re frained from his usual dinner invitation to the Judges, in introducing the Chief Magistrate to the Court, and confined hiinself to a detail of the public and private merits of the new LORD MAYOR and his predecessor. The CHIEF BARON observed', that after the late event, which had spread a melancholy gloom over :hese dominions, and pierced every heart in the idngdom, and particularly the citizens of London, with the most poignant woe, it would be incon sistent with his feelings, and he hoped it was not required or expected from himto address the LORD Mavoa at the length ‘vhich was heretofore usual on such occasions : he therefore contented him self in expressing his satisfaction at the election to fill the office of a man of great public and pri vate worth. His Lordship was also particularly complimentary to the late LORD MAYOR, who nom, he said, retired, after discharging his ardu ous duties during not a very tranquil period, with . . [he admiration of those whose admiration was nost to be desired, and with the approbation of its own conscience, which was the highest ob ect of honourable desire. The Procession then withdrew, and the usual . ormulities were performed in the other Courts. CH-lISINEY-WEEPEBS.-1 tie ,Magistrates Of LierClS sunutioned before thew, on Tuesday 'last, the Nlaster Chimuey-sweepert of that town, for the purpose of promulg i ating to them the law of the. land for the regulation of their trade, and further to inform then', that all the enactmeuts for the puotection of their apprentices, and the prevention of abuses would, in future, be strictly enforced. tiie law at present stands, every master is re quired to have a brass plate, with hit own name en gravfd upon it, placed in the hat of each of his apprentices. No master is to have more than six apprentices, nor any of them under eight years of age.—Any master neglecting to cause his ap prentices to attend public worship on the Sab bath Day, or permitting them to wear their sweeping •dresses on that day, is liable to a h eavy penalty. So long as the practice of cleansing chimneys b • y climbing boys,exists, theirpalliati ves are highly to be applauded, and will, we hope; be perseveringly enforced; but the titnei, we trust, 'is not far distant when the necessity Inr attend ing to them trill be obviated by the general appli cation of mechanical means to the purpose of sweepingchimnics. .John Slack, one of the mas ter chimney-sweepers summoned before the Ma gistrates on Tuesday last, expressed his willing ness to use the machine, and said he should much prefer it to the use of boys.
