Lon Don :
SUNDAY, AUGUST st.

The delicacy observed by the liberal part of the
Press, has been abused by the Ministerial Journals,
and the silence which they had imposed upon them-
selves, lest any thing they said, might influence the
minds of the Jurors upon the Inquests now being
held, on the bodies of the two men who were so
wantonly shot by the soldiers, during the procession
of her Majesty's funeral, has been interpreted as a
tacit approval of such barbarity. It becomes, there-
fore, an imperative duty to speak out on an occa-
sion, that has only been surpassed by the ever-me-
morable butcheries of the 16th of August. The
question appears to be, whether or not, the soldiery
were justified in their violence, and on this point
we may confidently refer to the evidence given
before the two Juries, which goes to the establish-
ment of the fact, that not a stone was thrown 'tilt
after the commencement of violence by Cie soldiers,
by cutting away with their broad-swords, and even
then, that it was not of an important nature, till
their fair-faced Commander began to level his wan-
ton balls at those it was his duty to protect—but
we have higher authority for our opinion th:ai

appearances—we have the evidence of " Thomas
Emans, Lieutenant and Adjutant of the guilty
regiment" a man whom all our readers will believe

would not swerve from the truth against his com-
rades, and he says—" The men went out on the 14th,
under the orders of the civil power. I cautioned them
of that fact. It is the constant rule to inform the
men, when they go out under the civil power, to act by
the direction of that power, and by its orders alone."
Now, upon these conclusive sentences, we should
consider it established that the Life Guards were
wrong—syllogistically thus—the Life Guards were
cautioned that " they were to act by the directions
of the Civil Power, and by its orders alone"—the
Life Guards did cut down and fire upon the people
without receiving an order so to do from the Civil
Power—ergo—the Life Guards acted unjustifiably,
and if the parties can be identified they ought to be
punished—but every impediment has been thrown
in the way of such identification. We therefore
rejoice that in one of the two instances a general
verdict of " Wilful Murder against a Life Guards-
man unknown to us Jurors," has been returned;
and hereafter, without doubt, conviction will over-
take the guilty. In the remaining instance a simi-
lar verdict may be preferable to a specifieone—there,
the party has been pointed out; he will again
be pointed out, and he will not, we fervently hope,
escape.

His Majesty's reception in Ireland has been en-
thusiastic—and be appears to be pleased at it—he
has been almost without a military escort, and the
people have been gratified at that.—Why, we would
ask, is not the same confidence placed by Ministers
in the English—but that they fear the distortion
they have given to the feelings of the King should
be done away—they have deceived him as to the
loyalty of his people, and they are guilty of every
aggression against them to give posthumous verity
to their lying report. An English King must be
very bad indeed to need soldiers to guard him from
his people, and his present Majesty is libelled by the
representation of such necessity.

The Messiah, who was lately announced with
so much pomp to have arrived in Greece, is no other
than Joseph Buonaparte, the Ex-King of Spain,
who has quitted America, accompanied by Lefebre
Desnouettes, the brothers of Lallemands, and other
French officers, for the purpose of offering their
services to the Greeks. These officers would be a
valuable acquisition, but as to Joseph himself, he
has no talent whatever for military enterprise.—
According to accounts from Leghorn, of the 6th
instant, the Isles of the Archipelago continue suc-
cessively to shake off the Turkish yoke. At Candle
the Turks have been compelled to surrender two
forts to the Greeks, who have established an Admi-
ralty Council in the Island of Hydra, composed of
experienced mariners, who direct all the naval ope-
rations in that quarter. Notwithstanding the Con-
gress which it is said is to assemble of the Ministers of
the Allied Powers, to deliberate on important affairs
relative to the East of Europe, yet we find the
Austrian army concentrating on the frontiers of the
Ottoman Empire, receives reinforcements daily.—
Magazines are establishing in Hungary, and the ex-
portation of grain has been prohibited in Bohemia.
It is even rumoured that a conflict has taken place
between the advanced guards of the Russian and Ot-
toman forces on the Purth. The Russian troops
amount at this moment to the alarming number of
91'2,000 men, exclusively of the colonization forces
and the permanent army of Siberia. This is a gi-
gantic force, and cannot be viewed without alarm by
the Powers of Europe. The Emperor Alexander
has evidently in view to instil a martial spirit into
the entire population of Russia, and therefore we
have cause to suspect that his object is aggrandize-
ment whenever opportunity offers.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have arrived ;
their contents are unimportant The following are
extracts:—

ODESSA, JULY 24.—We wait with the most lisely
patience the next news from Constantinopls. A letter from
this Capital, dated the 14th of July observe', that the Mena
b disposed to accept the surtlintioe of Atatria and Lngland,

and give to Russia the satisfaction which she demands. But
those w his know the fanaticism of the Turkish people and
the weakness of the.Govermnent, w ill, with difficulty, believe
that the Grand Seigoor can succeed in sending the Asiatic
savages home without booty, or prevail upon the inhabitants
of this Capital quietly to helsold the rebuilding of Christian
churches. If the Sultnn hiss nutting ity to calm hi. irritated
soldiers and people. peace may be preserved.
Posen, JULY 21.—The Russian troops, who hove been
long waiting upon the shores of the Divine fur orders to
march, we learn from gond authority, have nt length received
them, and they are directing their march to the south eastern
frontier of the empire. They will, unduuhtedly, be replaced
from the interior.
Benzin, Aucs.l4.--Letters from Dantzic, which arrived
yesterday, announce that some bloody and tumultuous
scenes have taken place between the Christians and the Jens.
and that military inteference has been necessary.
Itlaultio, AUG. 13.—The Miscellanea has published ex-
tracts from the proceedings instituted against Inc authors of
the massacres in Cadiz, un the fatal 10th of March lust year.
The result of the testimony of a great crowd of witnesses
pruves that every possible means of seduction was employed
to induce the soldier. to massacre the inh burants. Brandy
and money wire distributed in the thymus. The Generals
Capana, ',rep e. Rodriguez. Valdez the Colonels Gaharre
and Capacete, mid many subaltern ollicers &c.e greatly com-
promised. The sentence will be quickly proannoced. The
three Generals and the superior officers are stiiellt guarded.
The people wait with great impatience fur justice.—There
were 156 persons killed and grievuu.ly w inhaled.

Events of a serious character have taken place at
Rio de Janeiro since the King's departure. It ap-
pears that the forms of the Portuguese Constitution,
to have been sanctioned by the Cortes, have, with-
out waiting, as originally intended, for their corn.
pletion, been forced by the soldiery on the Regent's
acceptance. They at the same time, demanded
other changes in the form of government established
by the King. Though immediate compliance was
accorded by the Prince, there is reason to believe
that it was not without considerable repugnance on
his part. The official documents published on the
occasion. consist-Ist. Of a decree establishing a
Junta of nine Deputies to subordinate to the Cartes
at Lisbun, but to have control over the Regent's
Ministers. 2d. A list of the Ministers, from which
the name of the Count dos Arcos is excluded, Don
Pedro Alvares Diniz being appointed Prime Minis-
ter in his ruom. 3d. An authorised list of the
junta subjoined to a loyal decree. A private letter
throws a disagreeable colouring over the mode in
which this political change was accomplished, and
gives a picture by no means favourable of the class
of persons by whom it was enforced. Count dos
Arcos returns to Europe, and the tranquillity of Rio
remained undisturbed at the date (9th June) when
the letters were written.
The Journal de Path eontains the following cu-
rious piece of intelligence:—'• We have already
stated that a report prevails in London that George
IV. will contract, after a few months, a new mar-
riage. Some pretend that it will be with the sister
of Prince Esterhazy; others say the iister of Prince
Leopold his Majesty's son-in-law."
The remains of her late Majesty have reached
Cuxhaven. Early on Sunday morning lust the
funeral squadron, consisting of his 'Majesty's ship
Glasgow, with the Royal corpse on board, aceoin-
panied by the Tyne, the Rosario, the lVye, and the
Connell, appeared off that port. They 'tad not been
brought to an anchor when the mail left Cuxhaven ;
but as the wind was then blowing from the eastward,
it was supposed that it would be necessary to mocr
the vessels, and that some days might elapse before the
fleet, on account of the prevalence of easterly winds,
could proceed up the Elbe as far as Stadt, the place
fixed upon for the disembarkation
At a dinner given by his Majesty in the Park of
Dublin, on the 15th inst. the Mitch Ambassador.
Baron Fagel, was present. He was, according to
the custom of his Court, decorated with some
orange ornament. On his Majesty's observing the
decoration, he is reported to have &till to the Am-
bassador--" My dear Baron, this is a very excellent
colour in the Netherlands, but in this country it
does not do so well; I pray you lay it aside for my
sake."

On the day of his Majesty's entry into Dublin, a
Dragoon, pressing on the people at the Circular.
road, near Eccles-street, a nobleman of high dis-
tinction, from his carriage, reprimanded him severe-
ly, stating that " the King would he very angry if
he had seen the humblest of his people ;"
and ordered him forthwith to desist.

INTENDED PUBLIC FUNERAL.—A set of despe-
rate characters have given notice of an intention to
make a public procession, in the funeral of the two
men who were killed at Cumberland-gate, and a
subscription is intended. Dr. Watson, of Spa Fields
celebrity, and John Gale Jones, of general notoriety,
the principal leaders of the business, may find the o;)-
portunity desirable to finger a little of the motley
of foolish donors ; but we think every man who has
a character to lose, and is anxious not to lost it, will
übstaia kont countenancing by his presence, an ex-
hibition conceived in worse than folly, and pregnant
with great mischief—a parade that can have no good
effect—unless indeed it ministers to the exteetne
necessities of the two distrased, troublesome, and
patientless sons of Galen."

ALAS! what news with sad surprise
O'erwhelms my troubled breast?
Go on to flow, ys streaming eyes,
With bitter grief oppreat.
Britain again is called to mourn, •
Her beauty pass'd away!
Departed !—never to return !
To cruel death a prey !
Her Queen!—the innocent and wise; .
Her joy,—though now her 11104LII ;
Her Caroline!—Britannia cries,
Her Caroline !—is 6014 E
Child of misfortune, pain and grief,
Tmnspiere'd by poignant woes,
At length the mourner found relief, .
And sunk in death's repose.
Pity for undeserved distress
Demands from all the good
A. sigh I—for Royal wretchedness!
And nuptial widowhood!
The woodbine finds in each kind bough
A stay on which to live,
Though none is pledged by solemn vow
That kind support to give.
But,—he who vow'd to be her friend, .
Her stay in every woe,
Refus'd his kind support to lend!
And,—was her bitterest foe!
Bereft of every powerful aid, .
A. poor defenceless fair,
The vilest stratigems were laid
Her virtue to ensnare.
The vilest of their taco were hir'd
To art a treach'rous part,
And friends, and strangers, both conspir'd
To wound and pain her helm.
Ye mothers, think!—To you I go,
For you alone can say
The full extent of all that woe
Which tills my mournful lay.
You, who upon y babes have smiled,
Think !—of her heart distrest
To see,—her luvely—aml, -child
Torn from her mothers breast.
But, vain would be th attempt ta write
The nunt'rous woes and tears.
The persecution' hate, and spite
That clouded all her years.
She needs nu more het people's aid,
In peace her head cloth rest;
Anti not a foe—in death's cult' shade,
Her quiet shall molest.
How late upon her daughter's bier
A nation wept distrest;
The rowther's tame! uow claims a tear
From every feeling breast.
But, Oh! may she in worlds on
I ler joyful Charlotte greet,
And every grief for ever fly
Their holy, happy seat.
Then, though her enemies below
Denied IN earthly crown,
A diadem shall sleek her brow
Of glorious bliss unknown!
Farewell !--departed Queen—farewell
May He whose ways are just,
That Oral, whose might is terrible,
Avenge thy sleeping dust.
