THE KING.

We noticed the variance in the last isfficial
Mout hl y report of his MAJWITY'S health, from the
voiform tenor of the series immediately preceding
.11, as evidence that his NIAJEITY'S constitutioss
.strong by nature, and sustained by a life of temper-
ance and virtue, was at length beginning to sis.k
juicier the weight of years. We fear that our
,sgkiescous foreboslingsore but too well founded.
Vesterdsy at eleven o'clock his Royal Highsien
the Duke of YORK held a Council at Lambeth
?slice, which was attended by—

lirebhisbnp of Canterbury, the Bishop or Lomita",
the Doke of Moniroor, the Marquis of Comdr., the Earl
of Winthilses, Lord Arden, Lord St. Helen's, sad Se
:isms Crap!.

Coined.
• The deliberations of the Council continued till
near twelve o'clock.
This Council held by the Duke of YORE wee in
the performance of his duty and execution of him
office as Costes of the KING'S person under the
!Ate Act.• It is superfluous to observe that the
deliberations of the Council related to the state of
his M sistri'a health.

Pepers relating to the internal state of the
country were, in pursuance of the promise held
foot in the.Pititca REGENT'S Speech. laid by Lord
CASTLEREAGH yesterday evening upon the table
if the House of Commons. They are very volts.
stisinoue. bet so far as we are enabled to collect
4444 contents, are not of a very novel character.
:TheY contain various communications from Lords
;Lietstrassit od Magistrates. in what are called the
.14.1 distvebcd districts." and fornish evidence (some
of. it Weed very unsatisfactory and inconclusive)
respecting the nocturnal training of numerous per-
t es of men. end the endeavours made to obtain
s'andestinely supplies of arms. We cannot avoid
expressing surprise, that the Ministers, having evi.
deuce before them of an extensive conspiracy to
slCsieity the existing institutions of the country.
lAm never proceeded to try the strength of the
sews fur repressing or punishing inch practices.
*tend copious extracts from them will be found
anvther part of our Paper.
This mode of proceeding differs sensibly from
tits which Ministers pursued in 1817, and is in
minds much more creditable to them as it is
trwe satisfactory to the country. From the de-
s, relations held out in the Treasury prints, we
had anticipated that those papers would have been
ir:troduced in a green beg, referred to a Secret
COmmittee, and that we should have suffered all
e.e usual consequences. The information is now

nod the forte of military execution. • It is string.:
that Nlinisters. to whose lianas the ilestiuies of this
country have fur so long • period been intrusted,
should lie the first to bkains the discontents moil suf-
ferings of the people. and not feel that in so doing
they were trumpeting their own di►credit ! The
character of a government must ever lie discries-
iblr the condition of their subjects—it requires
no further comment. The present Ministers of the
Crown cannot be ignorant of this, tend if they en-
lusitarily and gratuitously degrade themselves in
the estimation of this country and of the world.
it is impossible that sonic suspicion be net
excited respecting the ultimate objects wl►ich
they contemplate as the reward of their present
sacrifices. Terror and aims may unhappily
close the eyes and ears of the principal and
middle classes of society, and under the influence
of delusion they may suffer themselves to be made
the instruments of dangerous designs against the
liberties of the State; but they will soon find them•
selves bitterly undeceived, and it will assuredly
cost them a struggle to recover what they shall
have lost duritig the moment of their infatuations
Let them be warned in time—the Constitution is
indeed in danger, but the evil is less to be dreaded
from those who, under the name of Radicals, are
at once the objects of ridicule and terror, than from
others who profess that terror solely for the purpose
of obtaining a power which will place the .Executive
above all control.

The dimmest, of the manufacturing classes have
now continued for a considerable time, and yet we
ore still assured by Ministers that they are of 11 tem-
porary nature. When in their Cabipets they indite
such 'artesian, how they must laogh at the cre-
dulity of the fools whom they think to deceive !
They are, however, much less clever than they
fancy themselves,: they deceive not a man in the
kingdom capable of reflection. The only merit
they possess is their ingenuity in devising nun view
temporary cause at each opening and close of the
Sessions of Parliament, during the space of five
years, to which they might with an sioinrence of
plausibility refer the distresses of the people. We
have heard on former occasions of the transition from
war to peace, and of the inclemeacy of the moons,
as the momentary sources of distress and discontent;
but these are now either exhausted or inapplicable,
and the Ministers can find no other pretence for
our temporary distresses but the sr embarrassed
situation or other countries." It ni indeed true,
and we have ever strenuously endeavoured to incul-
cate the principle, that in the prosperity of other
stations the welfare of this country is materially con-
cerned. Nothing seems to be more clear than that
a commercial country must derive a greater advan-
tage from trading with a wealthy nod prosperous
people, than from trafficking with poor and dn.
tressed States; and yet the old mercantile system
which so long prevailed in this country, and of
which unhappily there are still to he found limy
advocates among persons in power, proceeded on
a principle diametrically opposed to this self.
evident truth, and to this moment such a nar-
row and jealous feeling pervades our councils,
that our merchants ate compelled, in a great
degree, to confine their trade to those '1 em-
burnoosed" nations to which the Speech, 'alludes,
and are prevented from trading to any profitable
extent with the must wealthy and populous country
at the present moment its Europe. If the embar-
reennents of other nations with which we trade are
retorted upon ourselves, the knots it offers may
probably induce our rulers to remove the vexatious
restrictions which prevent trade with stations that
are not embarrassed, and give to out merchants the
advantages of a recipromsl and direct trade with
Prance, whose markets ere ostensive and near at•
